Grats on the performance upgrade! Not everybody benefits! Electrum 19:24 go down where you see the Emerald Ore outlined. The deposit is further but nearby. (It will take a bit to normalize yourself to the indicators.) Big skulls require big enemies eg 21:40 defeated and you also need to *dismantle* more camps for them eg 24:1027:10 Blocking does not work on the biggies. Gun turrets all kinds help. So do beacons to return. Hit and run away. Preferably back. Good Progress so far!
That big guy was an Ogre. There is another big guy that I think is called the Orc Boss. Bigger than regular orc, but smaller than the Ogre. The Ogre one hits you, block or not. The Orc Boss does 50 hp damage per hit (at least in the demo). So you can run and hit him, if you get hit, run away and eat to heal, then repeat. Also, (unless changed from demo), the 4 cut gems used to make 1 polished gem are worth more $ than the polished gem. Seems polished gems are for buying/unlocking things and cut gems are for selling.
@@surtrplays Yeh the orc bosses are slow, so easy to beat. look at the prices before you manufacture all the things. My starter base that I don't use much deposits most of the copper and iron ingots into the market for easy coins.
I have been using the tier 2 and 3 navigator, but it almost seems like the emerald is bugged? The tier 2 leads me off the map and the tier 3 only sees them when you are real close. I have only found two deposits that I ran up on while exploring. If we could change the color of the outline maybe?
Having a lot of trouble with the navigators, need gold and silver and the arrow doesn't change when selecting those ores almost like the detection range is very low. So not really helpful.
Yeah, it's not a level 3 navigator problem. This update has bugged out ALL the navigators. I'd made such a mess of my first save I restarted, even the tier 1 is borked now. Didn't register a 50k iron node when I was literally sat there in front of it. (No I wasn't tuned to detect something else by mistake, that was literally the first thing I checked.)
I was killing the big guys by running through them and swinging on the way past. You could also use turrets but pick them up before they kill the Boss to get achievement.
i wonder if the light from the helmet is interfering with the dark out line of the deposits and with the big screen on the level 3 i wonder if they intend on adding to that so it could be like a map

Thanks very much.
"The ogre downstairs" was quite the handful!
Add that L3 detector to the devs' TODO list 😉
Indeed and done.
"I can use the block"
Gets turned into a bag!
LOL, yeah. Block 100% ineffective.

I think I have seen one of those orc bosses. Thanks for the info!

It looks like the cut gem to polished gem is 1 to 1 now, so that info I stated is no longer correct.

Yeah. Maybe they will change it in a future patch.
I did notice when you turned a certain direction the wheel on top would spin or stop spinning in other directions.
Thanks.
So, my biggest question is: what is Mana used for?
Are there spells?
Do you need to unlock them?
Is it just for crafting something?
I have no idea. This is early access so I imagine there will be a use for it.
@ gotcha!
Did the devs say anything about the respawning ore blocks - that is a little bit of a thing i want resolved before i look at it.
Yes, They requested my save and are working on fixing it.
@@surtrplays Excellent. :) Also, nice to see a fellow countryman doing content I like to watch

I had the same trouble when I was looking for coal earlier. You almost have to get lucky finding the nodes.

Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Press J to open the quest log, save running back to the guy.
Thank you. Forgot about that one.

Thanks. I will give that a try.

I wi9ll have to check that out.
Cann you please reverse the playlist so i can watch from ep1 on? :(
I fixed the order, Thanks.
@@surtrplays Hm, but it still ends with the first episode?
Time vs. value. If you are just want the money, sell the ores to the auto market. It's more lucrative.
I have been looking at those numbers. I think the devs need to think about this, or maybe we just don't tell them.
