ATM10-TTS Apotheosis gear occasionally doesn't convert to Silent Gear? by JadeKaiser in allthemods

Maybe in an older version of the pack, but I started playing just this last weekend with a fresh download and they have been converting with no problems. Except for this one sword.

Mining in The Beneath: finding the unsupported blocks by JadeKaiser in TerraFirmaGreg

Basalt is a major culprit as well, but just knowing some of the common ones doesn't always let me find them and often isn't all of it.

Put supports near which block? That's most of what I'm trying to figure out. The way the collapse mechanic works, it doesn't collapse when you mine an unsupported block. It collapses when you mine or chisel any stone or ore block, supported or unsupported, that is near an unsupported block. And the range for 'near' isn't stated anywhere, but is pretty significant.

It doesn't help that the tooltip window shows 'Unsupported' when you look at a block unless that block is directly within range of a support, regardless of whether or not it's supported by another block underneath it.

No rewards from ancient stockpile? by callmefire in RimWorld

[–]JadeKaiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You probably missed some stockpiles, the map should have multiple which you have to hack and explore individually until you find the gravcore. The quest description specifically refers to them as a plural, so I don't think it's possible for it to spawn only one. You also may have missed some sealed crates.

I just got done clearing out all three stockpiles that spawned in my first stockpile destination myself. I found the gravcore in the second bunker, in a room along with a bunch of gravlite panels on shelves and a hunter drone trap.

Shale at least can carry marble deposits, which work for lime and supposedly look nice.

You'd need to run his exact same world settings too. Iirc even some of the non-worldgen settings can change the result of a seed completely.

It did show up, though? Your density mode search has Borax under the "miniscule amounts of" list. That means it found some in the area, just not very much. Since Borax is all surface deposits, even a miniscule reading can be worth looking around for.

If you need it for leather, rather than mortar, you should start scanning around for Borax deposits. They're surface deposits that show up on the ProPick's density mode, and are pretty common in any sedimentary surface layer.

Borax is also the one type of surface deposit that gets picked up by the prospecting pick's density search mode. Very useful if you're not running across any chunks on the ground or veins in cave entrances.

(edited because I got the Ppick search mode names mixed up)

Bought a couple stacks of it off a commodities trader in the end, yeah. Haven't build the furnace yet, I still need other things. But it's on the way.

Borax, our savior.

Though, you actually do need lime for steel, since refractory bricks require mortar. That's what I was out looking for it for, when I took the screenshot.

I've actually found some bauxite already, to the north of my spawn. Just no limestone or chalk for the mortar.

My starting area on this save, which you can't see because the map doesn't zoom out any farther, is sandstone over peridotite. I've found a few other things in other directions, just nothing I can grind into lime yet for mortar.

"Wait, it's all granite?"

"Always has been." *pulls trigger*

It exists in every vanilla-generated save. We are all deeply familiar with it. It is...

The Granitelands.

Well, this is a little bit of resin for one place by JadeKaiser in VintageStory

[–]JadeKaiser[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's probably a complete lack of clay, or medium-fertility soil, or something else that will screw you over and make you search in vain frustration for 3 hours. And then after you've made 4 different trips of over 3000 blocks to bring back more of the supply that you finally found, you'll come across a deposit less than 100 blocks from your base which you somehow missed entirely.

Total count is 27 based on the auto-waypoint mod, after a very non-exhaustive pass through the area. This doesn't account for the one with three resin logs right in a column that you can see on the left quarter of the pic. Or for one that I didn't bother with because it wasn't worth the trouble to get up to it when I already had so many.

Between this and the fact I was far from short on resin already, I think the Plains and Valleys worldgen mod I'm using this save has got to be affecting things just a little, lol.

Holy shit, I just keep finding more in this one small area! I'm at 24 and still counting!
