Hooray! I have a great looking claim on Draw. Here is the map as of now, and my view:







Draw is Tier 2 and I'm going to set up a simple little hut with crafting stations if anybody is looking for a Tier 2 place to work out of that is close to the portal.

It combines the grinding of Everquest with the building of penis towers of Minecraft.

Sorry buddy, I just moved closer to the portal!


Here, you can see it from the portal. It's just a simple stepped platform with some basic crafting stations at the moment.





That is on the Tier 2 continent of Draw on Serenity if anyone needs a reliable location for all their crafting while leveling up Tier 2.

I started building a weird, lovely little cabin just to learn how the construction tools work. They're kind of slow, but they're not too bad. Once I can get the rest of the tools crafted I'll probably be able to do some cool things? But for now, I ran out of wood before I made a roof so my dumb shack has no ceiling. I'll probably tear it all down anyway and build some cool valley ruins or something instead though.

Frog temple's gotta have a frog valley with a forbidden frog ruin, right?

We could use a doobies dog shack.

What happens this weekend? I really don't want to regrind to the silversteel.

Edit: Got it back. I went back to Liberation and to my first ever claim and it was back. I deleted it and got my flag back. Hopefully that works for you.

To scout for it pull up the map and uncheck 'No Permissions'. It should show up on the map if it's there.

My first claim was on alpha_island0016 or whatever. Several people with the same thing have had issues. Our account is flagged for a claim in a zone that doesn't exist.

Has anyone been able to build angled or diagonal cross-supports such as the ones in the OP screenshot of the mech? I don't have the line tool yet, so everything I'm allowed to build has only been able to be 90 degree angles.

I think if a tree has some branches that dip into your claim it will instantly respawn after you harvest it.

I don't know if it's an exploit but I'm just going to hit this big tree while watching a movie and drown myself in burled wood.

Edit: For the sake of science I will log my progress:
10:35pm: 730 Burled wood. Starting movie.
11:33pm: 1981 Burled wood

~1250 per hour if you just sit there hitting it forever with a regular speed axe.

Also got this. I don't even know how it is good or bad.

Okay, so. I had a tree on my claim. I wanted to move it, but couldn't figure out how to move it. So I selected 'Pick up', and the tree disappeared. It went... nowhere? How the heck do I get it back? ;.;

Hey, It's Bob Log
So in being able to control your environment and self/surroundings/create automated self-reliant things; How does this compare to the Second Life sandbox w/Item scripting? (Scale 1-10?) I'm gathering this is more akin to minecraft in that you can only interact pre-built game elements with pre-built game elements in a predetermined manner to get a predetermined outcome?

Minecraft is a deceptively complicated benchmark to compare to.

So far there is no scripting or automation at all, but it might be added in the future.

It's supposed to roll higher stats than copper, but a blue copper axe will almost always be better than a green gold axe from what I've seen. I managed to make a 105 speed blue copper axe with 90+ damage so I don't think I'm beating that in a hurry.

You can make 45 degree slopes without the line tool.

Urgh. Elemental Silver is achingly annoying to farm, especially given the fact that my Iron Pick is a dismal piece of crap.

2564 silver, 24 Elemental Silver. gently caress.

That 0.0093% drop rate.

I found that I got better results from surface silver veins. I went around looking for iron and only got nine. I then ran around looking for veins that had silver on the surface leading down to gemstones and I got the remaining 13 I needed in about an hour.

After finally crafting my tungsten pick and having it turn out less than stellar, I went back to building. Getting the slopes just right on the beams was really tricky. Thank heaven for copy and paste!

So after about 5 or so hours of fooling around with tools and gathering materials I built my first thing.

A rough frog statue still undergoing some touches and improvements. I haven't added the eyes yet but here's two views of it.



The sky is really reflective in its chin it would seem.

When I get more time I plan on working on it some more. I template saved it just in case though.
