How to find a hearthlingless place?

Post by 47 »

Looking for a big area(5x5 regional maps would be good) with no hearthfires and hearththings...
Any tips that can help me to find a place like this? Or something similar...

Traveled for a few hours, and was always finding hearthfires, cut trees and other signs of hearththings acting around... :(

I would imagine just keep making characters until you are thrown into a random area away from other people.

It would be a waste of time...
Plus, it is hard to check a big area for a signs of heathlings without a boat, and it takes a long time to get enough lp/items to make a boat... :(
Maybe there are some places with a very little chance of spawning hearthlings around, that are far from any places with a lot hearthlings?.. Maybe there are some special signs of that places... Or... Dunno...
I just want to find a place where i can live a lonely life with no other heathlings around bothering me with theyr presence, stealing my stuff, cutting trees around my place and doing other bad things?..

Avoid rivers like the plague when you do settle. Boats are by and far the main reason why people will visit you if you build within viewing distance of a river. People are inherently lazy and chances are greatly reduced of bumping into other people if they have to walk overland for awhile to find you.

Keep in mind you won't be able to trade as well as a result and clay will be somewhat less accessible. Claims usually solve most of the woes you speak of and is a great protection against griefers. Throw in a palisade for some additional LP gain and protection and johnny looking for perch will just have to walk on by.

But what about hearthlingless place?

Spawn location for hearthlings are comepleteley random or there are increased/decreased spawn chance in some locations?

Maybe there are some locations where new heatrhlings can't spawn at all?.. How about borders of the map?

Btw, are there any 'end of the world' at all, or when you reach the end you appear at the other side of it?..

Heh good luck finding the edge of the world. It would literally take you days to find it, even longer depending on which direction you chose to go in and where you actually were. Just accept the fact that chances are someone is going to find you. Maybe you'll get lucky and they turn out to be a rather okay fellow and you two become best friends.

Then again.. if you REALLY want to hide yourself from other Hearthlings and even the Gods themselves, live in a cave.

Kinda why there is all those Hearth Fires...

I can't build in cave, i can't plow cave floor... I can't grow anything there... If it was possible i would do so...
If it was possible to make a little secret cave in some regular cave, make there some lights with glowing mushrooms and 'magical fires', grow trees and other plants there, make a littke 'house' with a bed and few containers... get a special 'night vision' ability leaving in darkness, but getting damage on a sunlight, some ability to move silentry and stay hidden from players without high perception+exploration, if moving slowly... I wish it was possible, but people still exploring caves, they make theyr houses near caves and other stuff... :(

Just what use are the caves anyway? I explored one a while ago: huge, endless, empty. Has some stalactites (stalagmites?) you can chip stone from but nothing else.

Cavebulbs are found in caves, so are mines. Also, certain kinds of cheese can only be made in caves.
