Lets talk about mining

Post by Gorakil »

Hey, Yorb, can you tell us what reasoning behind that high spawn rate\amount of slimes? Right now mining at lower levels are frustrating and miserable experience.

^ thats what i got after like half an hour of mining at level 9. Can it be fixed or do we need struggle just for sake of struggle?
Also amount of caveins is also aids.

I agree it's too much but the annoyance and difficulty of slimes or other mobs might matter more at that level if there was actually something good to get, you're better off mining 5-7 since it's easier, safer, and you have just as much chance of getting the same kind of qualities for ore/stone.

Why does every ur post sounds like u just talk straight up from ur ass? Do u even mine? I guess not because u wuld know that lvl 9 is much superior to mine that 5-8. Also Its not about difficulty, its just about how nonsense is ability to get 15 slimes out from 1 node.

wtf I agreed with you, it's just my opinion that in current state it's better to mine on those levels because you can get 200+ quality ore even on L5 and when you're spiraling the quality matters but is largely irrelevant since all quality is of use in spiraling

It's fine that mining has strong monsters encountered while doing so and such, but to just so abundantly spam slimes is not a cool challenge whatsoever just plain annoying.

Isn't mining on the deepest level supposed to be annoying?

i believe the suggestion here is, we need an alien facehugger that lays eggs in your hearthlings on levels 7 and below. ultimately they burst from your hearthling and cause death, instead of more slimes.
