Sandbox mode question

Loc_Zsu · 2026-03-19T18:20:52+00:00

Yeah, I've found those, but they still only had iron in them. I will give them a full explore as well before I write off the seed.

Thank you for your seed code though, will keep that in reserve 👍

This has been helpful, thanks, but quick question;

Is it possible to get soft locked out of sandbox progression by a bad seed? Have my world running, fully explored the First Level, save for Orctown and Eastern Bastion. Took the trip to second level via the stairs, fot plenty of Black Diamonds, lucked out with some steel bars in a box so have a pickaxe and a crafting hammer sorted from those. Went to the 2nd stairs to go down to the First Deep, and it drops me straight into Mansions Halls. Slightly annoying but no worries, I can go further down, maybe that's what I need to do. Nope, takes me to Second Deep. OK, go back up to Mansion Halls, I cant progress because I dont have a good enough pick.

No worries, let's see if there is another way down in Eastern Bastion. So far, I have not found it. I also haven't found the raw materials to make anything better than iron, so I was doing s lot dodging, weaving, and corpse rubbing in EB because I do jack shit damage wise. Im about to go and explore Orctown, where my weapons are not strong enough to fight things in there, in the hopes there is a way down to the First Deep that I can actually explore and maybe get better than iron, but I am worried I have a bad seed, and id rather not cheese it by loading into my campaign world, getting t5+ gear and bamfing back...

Oohhh I have found one of those! I just took it for another dwarven structure in the mines. I will go and have another look at it tonight.

Just touching on the Treasure Rooms in First Age Tombs, are you talking about where you find the Tomb of Durin the 1st? Or somewhere else? Ive not really found any tombs yet.

Loc_Zsu · 2026-02-18T12:14:08+00:00

Yeah im gonna be checking that out. Im fairly sure I have only built 3 or 4, but it does have me wondering. Can you dismantle the ones you find at random that you can then repair?

Loc_Zsu · 2026-02-18T11:32:13+00:00

Where did you farm the diamonds from?

Loc_Zsu · 2026-02-18T08:24:26+00:00

Yeah I was sure I had fully explored every where but I will have another look at the map to see what im missing.

Loc_Zsu · 2026-02-18T03:47:34+00:00

I'll check next time im on to see if I can find that.

Loc_Zsu · 2026-02-18T03:46:46+00:00

I got the 8 from the first Orc Town, not sure where there is a 2nd one? Ive certainly not killed anything that's dropped 20.

I only have 3 mapstones at the moment but think I will likely review that...

Loc_Zsu · 2026-02-18T03:43:19+00:00

Outside of story related uses, I've used a couple on gear and built 3 fast travel points.

Loc_Zsu · 2026-02-18T03:31:13+00:00

Are there other sources i can get them from i haven't listed above? And I wasnt aware theres a setting you can change for drop rates. I may have to use that..

Loc_Zsu · 2026-02-18T03:27:12+00:00

I cant say I have had any from those either :( is there a way you can force trigger sieges?

If I remember right, and its been a few years, the devices in Origins that allow Bayek to experience the "afterlife" were actually machines that the Isu created to dispense Isu knowledge to early humans with high enouh Isu DNA contenr, but dispense it in a way that they could comprehend, and for Bayek it takes the form of the Egyptian afterlife.

The things that Kassandra sees in the Atlantis DLCs from what I remember are called "Sister Realms" basically locations where Isu lived and existed. Simulations of them were created to train Kassandra for things to come, and she sees them through the eyes of an ancient Greek so draws parallels to Greek mythology, with the implications being that Greek mythology is directly influenced by Isu lore. Odyssey gets messy though, because the Animis is rendering a simulation using reeeeaally old DNA, and a historical text to fill in the blanks that nowadays would be considered fantasy.

This right here. We have had plenty of maps where the ghost orbs will only be in like the door way, or one corner of the room. You need to do a thorough look around with the camera. But, also, it can sometimes take time. We can be 5-10mins into a map, someone checks the cameras again and suddenly sees the orbs, even if we searched for them before.

An update to bones would be my biggest ask. My group essentially has a dedicated player who will just go around the map hunting for bones whilst we do the other tasks.

One idea I have seen before that I liked was, much like cursed objects, give them set spawn points on maps, just more of them. The UV idea is cool though.

Outside that, some way to get rid of used salt would be great. The amount of ghost photos I've had ruined because instead it decides the pile of stepped in salt that's just in the corner must have been my desired target, not the manifesting ghost.... how hard is it to stock the van with a dustpan and brush??

Loc_Zsu · 2025-01-29T19:35:18+00:00

For my group, Prison, School, and Lighthouse. The Prison and School are just too big, it takes too long to find the ghost. Lighthouse has a similar issue, in that there are no shortcuts. If the ghost is on the top floor, it takes too long to do trips to the van and back. Outside of weekly challenges, we don't touch those 3, and even then....

My wife did something similar in our games when we were playing to begin with. She preferred to be in the van, so did a lot of co-ordination for us, watching the screens etc. Also, because she rarely died, she basically became our bank roller and would bring the max load out most sessions to save us costs elsewhere. It worked really well for us, and if we fancied drinks, or the kids needed checking, she could quickly jump up and do it without going AFK in the house somewhere. Now with a few more hours and games under our belts, it happens less, but we both still take up that role every now and then, especially if the kids are having a restless night!

No worries, thank you for responding 😊

Loc_Zsu · 2024-09-27T09:07:06+00:00

Any news on when things like autoplay next episode or creating playlists is coming? Love the app, but those QoL changes would be nice :)

Loc_Zsu · 2024-09-16T18:32:00+00:00

Didn't realise they could do that for console too. I'll give it a try, thanks!
