A new update is now available, introducing seasons and more!
Latest hotfix: 0.8.0.2 (2024-12-30)

    I headed North to find an arctic island for aluminum and lost my starter island and main base. To my recollection I went three islands North and one East before finding it, but when I retraced my route..nope.

    Made a temp base and searched multiple islands in all directions...nope. Felt like I was a Lost in Space character and honestly, after awhile became a bit soul-sucking.


    I know the compass has a small needle pointing to our spawn point and I did follow it until it suddenly would point in a different direction but no island I came to had either my base marker of even my starter island configuration.


    So if we need to set sail for different lands at times I`d suggest a way to find home again.

    Maybe the ability to scroll out beyond one island at a time to see islands we`ve already visited or an additional compass marker for out base as well as a spawn point?

    I found lots in a different cave on another area of the island going down to just above tungsten and up to 230'ish (my mountains only went to 245'), so elevation was less an issue than I first thought. Think I just had an aluminum dead cave complex.

    I know Im supposed to head North to find it but moving along the North shore of my island East to West there`s nothing, not even on my map.

    Is this a "hop in a boat and hope for the best" thing?

    Was wondering if anyone knew how to make large circles? Like the diameter of a large building.


    Not sure if I can get from here to there but I`d like to make a circular building with a domed roof.

    A neat idea but considering Red already has his hands full, I think random placed ruins and structures is unlikely in the foreseeable future as it would have to tie into World generation to some degree.


    It would be cool if we could build our own (insert evil setting) and have a feature to spawn and leash our own npc`s to that area. Multi-player would prolly enjoy that more than a solo World.

    No, the actual ground/mountains.


    Was quite awhile ago now but I recall Red saying (in JAVA) that lower tier ore veins would regrow after a time which would mean the surrounding earth as well.

    I never worked on a project long enough to confirm or deny but some voice in my head took that to mean the earth with no ore would also regrow/heal eventually, though Im thinking it through as I write this and realizing Im likely mistaken.


    Anyway, I started an intensive terraform project in Unity and had a fear it would eventually wreck itself. *shrugs

    Im thinking about starting something of an ambitious project (terraforming`wise) and wanted to ask if at some point you see a game wipe included in a future update?

    Thanks.

    Has anyone discovered a seed that creates a World which still has mountains and terrain changes but tends towards flatter in-between areas? *Not super flat.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I`d remapped movement to the arrow keys which griefed me re: rotation but once I realized the issue I mapped rotation to the A & D keys and rediscovered my inner zen.
