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.

I was wondering when you be able to pull up a map. Like the java version. Currently I found that I can get lost easy. I try to use compass key but nothing happens. Using a compass does not tell me location. I would like to explore more but also do not want to get lost. I know placing blocks give numbers of location but does not help over great distances.

Suggestion....If different work benches unlock stuff or items. Maybe put for the '?' need this work bench or item to unlock. Less confusing and makes way to find items or resources in the game. Item can be list what it does. grinder, fuel, smelting, eating, and so forth.

Modern Work bench gave 4 new recipes but final one is still ? 11/12 resources.

Started a new world and still have ? ? ? This time I found aluminum ore. Unless I need bars

I am playing a single player game. Logged in a few times and still see the ? ? ?. I have normal work bench. I creative the world today.
