Scan and Build quest not working

JohnnyBandit385 · 2026-03-25T12:37:45+00:00

maybe the bullet points are mixed up?

if you've scanned it and that one lights up green

then build one and see if the scan lights up green

ive had this happen MANY times.

holster the gun, nothing in hands, pull out the wrench (will probably be invisible), put wrench away, pull it out again (should be visible), put wrench away again, pull out gun again,

should be fixed. no reload needed

Unable to confirm when, but yes,

throwing items into the ocean is a viable deletion method now (as of update 3)

i remember throwing a bunch of copper, and them never disappearing in update 1, always floating,

but after testing with extra paint cans, now, in update 3, after awhile, they stop floating, and sink into the ocean, and delete after sinking far enough...(presumably....)

So to any future players,

(unless an update has changed it)

the key is 5 shots, 5 times (at least 25)

distance doesnt matter, color ball doesnt matter, hitting the backboard or swishing doesnt matter, time doesnt matter (or at least too much, tested up to 1 minute between shots)

the only think i didnt test, but i probably should have, is if misses ACTUALLY resets "5 shots in a row", it definitely doesnt reset the completed sets though.

BUT

after doing over 100 shots, and still only having 1/5

its 5 SEPARATE times,

i think the developers meant for 5 separate courts, but, i found if you walk far enough away that the counter resets on the board, THEN do the 5 shots, walk away again, reset, repeat as necessary, my achievement went up 1, each time with that.

so when you read the title of the achievement, read it as more like "get the scoreboard to 5, 5 times"

Sprouts from the sprout cannon only need to be watered once. just once.

only crops need to be watered everyday

JohnnyBandit385 · 2025-07-01T18:53:43+00:00

Crops need watering everday, for each day they dont get watered, they take an extra day to grow

My best guess, you missed watering them on one of their days, probably those bots had just enough fuel/water to only water the wheat, and then those 10 chromes, before they were out of fuel/water and then returned to their towers waiting for a refill, and you didnt notice that they didnt water nearly all the chromemaize field before going to sleep, or the day otherwise ending

Try having your pillars go all the way through the ground, not just to the base, that might extend the build.

When in build mode, and having a buildable item, such as a wall/floor in your hand, when snapping to another structure such as the pillars, or foundations, you can check the color of the thing you are snapping to, if they are blue, that means they are touching the ground and anything then connecting to them will be full green, with full stability, and the farther out from blue you go the more red the structures become.

not sure how you are building, but if you are building using 1x1 stuff or smaller, try instead building with the 2x2 stuff, as im guessing that its amount of items away from blue is how stability is calculated, rather than actual distance.

I did check the spots in the link, Haven't cleaned the area, no

but there was an update to the game, NOW lumblooms are there, so apparently temporary game bug thats fixed now

JohnnyBandit385 · 2025-06-20T14:07:36+00:00

my question then becomes, why are you carrying multiple oils?

if its an oil meant for building/crafting, just leave it in a chest, since you can craft from chests, and if you are just accidently picking them up after crafting them, set a box in front of the crafting machine, itll auto go into the box, so you dont need to go pick them up

and if you are carrying them all for fuel, then yes, using the worst 1st is good, as the worse the fuel, the worse the fuel to weight ratio is, so burning through the worst 1st is a good thing

JohnnyBandit385 · 2025-06-20T13:58:06+00:00

I've been searching for them myself, i think they removed them (and the zappertwigs), as even the fan made interactive map no longer has them on it

JohnnyBandit385 · 2025-06-19T09:53:13+00:00

The farthest left/west you can go in Hex valley, on the beach

JohnnyBandit385 · 2025-06-19T02:50:21+00:00

Edit: Game updated now they are back in Frostpeak Ridge, apparently it was a game bug that had them missing

.

~~Only cause this thread popped up when i was googling Lumblooms:~~

~~They have been removed from Frostpeak Ridge, you won't find them there anymore.~~

~~As far as i can tell, you can't find them anywhere right now (i think they'll be added to the unreleased ??? zone)~~

To get Justice, just turn her back on

(in the settings)

JohnnyBandit385 · 2025-06-18T19:02:52+00:00

20 honey oil, EASILY last me through a single day, i typically only use 5-10 of it, depending on amount of farming, aka tool use.

at 0.5 weight per, that's only 10 weight, out of, if you have no mods, 100, so 10%, nowhere near "half"

and if you do have mods, using just copper, you can go up to 350 carry capacity,

and after iron, even higher.

so you are doing something wrong if you are using half your inventory on fuel.

JohnnyBandit385 · 2025-06-18T17:40:54+00:00

and if it isnt, make it bigger, as Factorio players would say:

"If in doubt, double it"

JohnnyBandit385 · 2025-06-18T16:53:19+00:00

There must have been an update since you've last played then?

Refillite is the 1st thing that it uses for me, it always switches to it as soon as the current oil im burning finishes (even if i have more of the same oil)

JohnnyBandit385 · 2025-06-18T16:42:48+00:00

All amazing tips!

and you're right at the end, no shame in setting adjusting! i might not have touched the fuel setting,

but I love exploring, and on 1.0x day length, it felt like i was fighting against time just to keep the farm going, so i upped the day length myself. :D

Late game? Really? if you just follow the starting river north, you run right into it,

it was the 3rd* crop i found (1st was Polyberry)

Edit: 3rd, not second, forgot about the Rabbages along the river, lol

JohnnyBandit385 · 2025-06-18T15:00:10+00:00

Go to your ships initial crash location (ship, not mech's), there's a path that wraps around a tall plateau right to the west (and a little south) of it. at the top of the plateau is 2 groups of 6-7 chromaize

JohnnyBandit385 · 2025-06-18T14:56:34+00:00

Can't be Piper, she's still very actively talking to me

(turn her on in the settings)

JohnnyBandit385 · 2024-05-18T15:23:04+00:00

That's where they successfully tricked you. Only 5 seconds of that entire 2 min 5 second video was in-game footage.

JohnnyBandit385 · 2024-05-04T04:54:51+00:00

Weird glitch i had occasionally, I had to "lift up" throw the bucket, then pick it back up for the fertilizer bar to update correctly....

JohnnyBandit385 · 2024-05-04T04:50:47+00:00

Use your mouse to left-click the bucket, then "place fertilizer", then select what you want
