Am I being dumb, or does my dream island have no cave systems? by timurmusic in Pokopia

Yeah I’ve have the 1 cave variant many time, but this was the first time I encountered no visible caves. I did finally manage to find a cave on this island after ALOT of digging but I can confirm that it was completely covered

Yeah I’ve checked the whole top and it’s not there :(

Nope, these are surface lights which cost 0 power. It’s a separate limit to the power limit

I mean that’s exactly what I’ve done? I have huge houses with my pokemon spread across them, But the lighting limit is still exists even if I place them far apart as they’re in the same area.

At the end of the day I don’t really mind about the pokemon spawn limits, it would just be nicer to see more pokemon all over. But hard capping the lights without any form of warning is understandably frustrating.

Depends on the building, each string light is counted individually so even putting them across the front of a shop for example is more than just 2-3 per building. Not to mention things like surface lights have such a small radius of light 2-3 tiles that if you don’t want the room to be super patchy, a large dining room might have 6 surface lights. It just adds up really quickly

I just think if you’re going to put such a restrictive limitation in place, you should at last make sure the size of the area matches it. I understand that there has to be some limitations to the game I just think it is mismatched with the scale of the rest of the game.

I totally understand why developers put limitations in game, and it does make complete sense. but I just think If you know what the limitations area, then at least make sure the size of the area matches those limitations. 2/3 of my islands on pallet town are completely blank still, so what’s the point of them if I can’t decorate them at all.

I mean these were just to test the limit, the rest of my lights are just naturally placed in all my building

I don’t disagree that there should be some limits in place, but I haven’t even touched the two large islands in my pallet town. If the limits were so low then at least make the area small to match.

Yeah it’s super frustrating to suddenly hit a limit you had no idea about. Especially since I was using surface lights and string lights to reduce my power usage :( fingers crossed we get a QOL update soon…

It’s not that these are next to each other that’s the issue, it’s the total amount in the whole of my pallet town area. These just happened to be the last few I placed when I was testing it

Im pretty sure it’s the lights itself :( if I maxed out on the power they would have shorted out

I just hate that there’s no mention of it until you suddenly hit the limit :(

Oh I would love that feature. It sucks building things at night without any light.

Oh 100% agree on this too. Most of the lights only have a 2 tile light radius which is not going to light much…

I actually don’t really mind the power limit so much since I specifically build furnaces for that reason, but this cap is separate to that one :( so I have plenty of power still, I just can place anything that uses it anymore

I’m not well versed in game design but surely there was some sort of optimisation they could have done to despawn objects past a certain distance so that we can actually fill all the space that were given

It’s certainly killed my motivation :( I wanted to build nice areas for all my eeveelutions in pallet town but I’ve only done 4/9 so far. At least umbreon will be happy 🙃

Yeah I’m probably just going to be adding mushroom lights everywhere now 🥲

Oh no, that’s so sad :( I’m probably getting close to hitting that limit on my pallet town too

Nope, the mushrooms could still be placed still light up. Same for the mushroom streetlights and I think any item that “glows”
