A rookie mistake

[abysmalapathy]

Living as a hermit, I was really excited to finally have finished my own mine. And I was lucky enough to be right next to some tin nodes (no iron yet but it was a start). Things were going great! This was actually the farthest I've gotten solo in any haven world. I've been playing for quite a few years now. But unfortunately, I'm still a complete noob. I didn't claim my mine. So, naturally, someone else came in and claimed it, destroying the palisade I had freshly built around the ladder.

Sigh, I made a rookie mistake, and now I'm exposed.

Thing is, the person who did it left a piece of really high quality ore behind, much higher than I could ever obtain on my own, so I know it's not some new player trying to steal my stuff. It's someone who is a much higher skilled player than me, who probably has access to really high quality shit already. Why do people have to do this? I would have gladly shared access, given a key, etc. But instead whoever did it has to act like a total dickhead.


I guess I'll be looking for somewhere else to live now.

Thanks, asshole.
and thanks, pea-brain for not remembering to claim your own mine.

Why do people have to do this?

Because they can. It's great that you seem to be taking it as a learning experience, though.

I'm just glad I'm not dead.

Unless people are being openly hostile, I say it's not worth moving. Just build a new one near by. I doubt they actually want anything inside. For all you know, this could have been a player from the other side of the map just passing through on a quest and decided to be a douchebag for the night.

This is good advice. It's probably 20 minutes of work, if that, to smash a fresh palisade and build a claim. I do stuff like that frequently when I'm travelling, just to teach people to be more security conscious.

So I guess the criminal just confessed.

If you built palisade around the Minehole in surface, you're safe because of visitor (de)buff.

It could be that someone with a large base nearby was protecting their mining operation and didn't want you tunneling into it. If you ask in a discord or realm chat you could probably find a place with friendlier neighbors.

bla bla bla ... the same idiotic excuse for miserable behaviour over and over again since years ... i never ever had to destroy the fun of someone to teach them ... at least there are runestones to give advice ... if i don't want to wait for them to log in again ...

I guess you're not stealing Grandmas purse to teach not to let her handbag open for security conscious in RL ... ?!?
