Only Bandits I found was in the desert island. I did blocks 3x5x5 (3 high) but they climbed right up. Once I raised to 5x5x5 size then they could not climb up. Found 1 tent in the desert with 2 cloth bags and lamp but left my hammer back in the base. Forest and arctic island so far no human bandits. Had wolves, bears, and lions. I like to try my spear out, reach seem better than the sword.

This round of game play I making bases on each island and using blue prints. I was making green house for arctic biome. I got a few issues. Blue print placement went all weird and had half to other strange measurements which made placement out of line and snapped weird. I was trying to lay blocks for the green house. 1x1x5 (tall and skinny), first had then snapped off blueprints. First they went straight and angle down ward into the ground, use pick to clear some dirt. I placed the block and next thing happen was standing still as I look to be falling through ground. I moved out left or right and went back to normal. Once I flatten ground with rake, all was good.

Weather really got me confused in the arctic. First time I went to arctic zone, Clothes got me to 37F temp and other times even colder. Have not changed seasons. Now that I have better clothes. during the day building my green house, my person was cooking. Had winter coat, Levi jeans, fur boots, and Russia hat. My temp outside in the arctic was 121F to 134F which I was burning through water pretty fast. I checked F3 for for temp and it said it was 55F for arctic/snow biome. It is still spring time from the calendar. Had to switch to forest gear during the day then froze when night fall came. With the winter clothes on, got cold when heavy snow came along at night then few days later, was cooking from warm temp, that was confusing.

Every time I got to arctic island and back to forest island, wind is always blowing in the opposite direction. Having 50% or less wind strength was annoying. Sailing from forest to desert, both ways the wind was good and strong.

The start island I am noticing the weather is bit off. Not sure if terrain has something to do with it. I started in the south, head east for a bit. Set up base to get the map. There I got lightning storms and rain. Once I got the map, explored to pick location to move base for sailboat access. While exploring the East at times got rain and can hear thunder in the back ground. Since the travel was a pain to move my base. I picked a location on the west that was close to starting point and better access for sailboat travel. I moved rain collecting items and made some open barrels. I placed them out. It been about week or so in game. I did get light rain but rain collection items had no water in it. Again I can hear the thunder in the distance but no rain to fill barrels. Can there be dry areas on the green forest maps? Dry areas meaning little to no rain events. There is a peak above the cloud line close by.

Darkness/night time, I first thought it was raining strange blue line on the right side of the screen when I moved/run without a torch out. Once I have the a light source out. I do not see it. It is hard to get screen shot as flash fast.

In the past watermelon seeds blended well when planted. In the new game I am playing. When I plant the watermelon seeds, I do not see them, I do plant them and use the red crosshair to space my veggies but for watermelon seeds cannot see where they are placed. Can the color or seedling be changed so it is easier to see?

Item repair. I am trying to repair scythe, says it broken but only message getting from grindstone. too badly damage to be sharpen. Shows up to use right button to repair but keep getting sharpen message.

Fencing. Will there be some type of fencing for animals or do you have to use blocks to make a pen. Railing look the closest to fencing.

I was wondering to get the starting point random instead of the center of the map. For my game. By inner lake that only has southern exit to ocean. Using a boat to go north or east or west islands will be a pain after making main base. Unless planning fast travel or portal system. I used fly to travel the other islands. Boat travel would be too long from the center spot. Starting at random point can good and bad things. Starting at north or south side of the map, makes 1 island closer while the other is farther away. Guess you can pack up and move it but after making a nice base can be a pain to remake it. Not sure if blueprints working making cave base. Yes I carved out a base in the mountain to be protected from the elements.

It is found in caves, that I noticed. It can be hard to find but look for sparkle rocks, best to find ores.

I was wondering how to heal from cold damage. Food looks like the only way. Bandages did nothing but give me your not bleeding message. Sleeping on a bed, I could not tell. Cooked meat but have kill animals and does help in fights for quick heal. I do not have modern workbench. So no first aid kits.

When ever I have mouse over something, It start flashing until I move off of it. From trees, rocks, benches, ore, smelter, and so on. Not sure what the point but does get annoying to me. Before the word did not flash, it stayed solid.

In my second game near water I found sticks but not inland.

I am playing the new update. I notice small issue. I was running around mining and look for cave to start my base near by. I broke the stone tool. Now look like I need a new game. I did not make a work bench so I cannot make sticks to build a new stone tool. So if you break your stone tool without making a work bench, it is game over or restart. I had 4 things of wood. If I cut more trees I would have been fine.

While stone tool does not need workbench. Other basic items, it can be done without work bench.

Compass does not tell you depth. F3 has location lines plus direction. My problem is trying to tell the depth. The third paragraph have states with surface level and depth but very confusing. I redid my tunnel so it is more deeper than before but I think surface items (meaning hills/mountains) is throwing the depth off. I got to a point were the surface level is 516 but my depth is 511. New cave found coal besides the other two. I know the deeper you go, better to find gold, tungsten, and sulfur. Then can get mining drill and and ammo for the gun. Flying might be easy to go to hell but does not help finding ores.

I am confused in how deep I been mining. So far no natural tunnels or anything. Outside is level 418. When I am underground that number is all over the place. When I step in the tunnel I have dug, the level goes up to 527. Near the end of my tunnel is level 490, depth 191. When I climb up and go up in the tunnel. Level goes up but depth jumps to 218. Trying to find ores and any underground forts like in the java version. Plus like to see what spiders and lava wolves look like. Look like a gentle slope to going down in my tunnel in parts.

I have some questions.

For slope to add an angle block, I try to change angle but blocks always in weird angles trying to snap to slope path. It snaps to terrain correctly not paths I lay.

For paper making. I thought the old recipe was cloth, water and the press. From the Java version. Would like to make a map to help explore surface easier instead of making trails with scythe. Water bit tricky, found one small lake when I started but have not found any ponds. I have plenty of snow from snow capped mountains.

For snow capped mountains, I noticed it still rains that that height. I thought it would snow. Mountain level is 790. My base is over level 800 high. so far no encounters at night. Just fog and rain. Do I need to be lower area to find spawns? I seen pigs, rams/sheep, cows, and buck with antlers. Nothing hostile. I am mining down, not too deep, no caverns so far. Did see one cave on my travels as I look for place to build my base. But almost got lost from running around in the darkness.

Have you thought about building on top of a mountain? Cliffs are good for walls. Plus you can have a path in and out that can be defend more easy.

II went to place a lantern in my workshop. It was dark could not see until I placed it. The lantern I thought it will be hanging by the top but got placed upside down on the ceiling. It would be ok if it was on the ground ground. Not sure if that was error. I was laughing once I realized it was hanging upside down. The base of the lantern on the block while the handle is facing down.

My bad, did not realize my icon from desktop launched java version not the unity version.

I made a new game/world for the update. I am trying to resize stone block but none of the controls are working. I try to hold Rshift and use + or -, same with Lshift. Page up and and page down does not work. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I was wondering how deep I need to go before hit lava/hell. Is it going to be like java version? Gap between rock to the lava or will the lava be a set depth? I am at -150. Java version if I remember was -540. Need switch over metal detector to find sulfur.

I love those kinds of maps....see where some of the tallest peaks to build my base. Above the tree for the most beautiful views.
