Newbie here, had some questions

[Pseudonym84]

Hey there, @ozarka30! Welcome to Boundless!

It seems your questions have already been addressed, but as for advice; just take your time and learn things at your own pace. It’s tempting for us veterans to shower you with knowledge, but that’d be robbing you of the thrill of discovering what Boundless is all about yourself.

That said, if you’re stuck on certain mechanics, you can either ask this helpful bunch on the forums, or check out @Jiivita’s videos, found here;

Hope to see you in-game soon! If you’re looking for a settlement to settle in, you’re always welcome in Elop Portas;

Elop Portas

Hello and welcome to Elop Portas. The first city with flowing water. Hoping to incorporate water into your build? This is the city for you! Simply build next to the road and we will connect you with water. The theme for this city is Mystic, Ancient, Lost gardens and Ruins with an emphasis on medium and large builds. The word Elop Portas translates into the doors. We would like to see portals to truly interesting places threw out this city of doors. [image] [image] This spot is reserved for …

@SWProzee1 Hey there! Yeah everyone was talking about it so there had to be something to it.

@Pseudonym84 Hey! Yeah there is definitely a lot going on, but in a good way. How would I get to your city to check it out?

Has anyone else had issues with Missing skill basic crafting recipes, coming up when you use the forge. I’m trying to make some copper bars, but it thinks I don’t have the basic recipe, which is the 1st thing we unlock.

[Pseudonym84]

There’s a few issues with the wrong messages being displayed that have been reported. Does the furnace have fuel?

Where are you currently? And have you been to any of the settlements? All major settlements are connected, so find one and you’ve found them all.

@Jeffrotheswell has a chain of portals leading to all the planets, so look out for his beacons.

Alternatively just ask the first person you bump into in-game. Chances are they’ll know how to get you there.

[ozarka30]

So I just figured it out, the furnace had coal in it, but didn’t have enough coal in it, so it was just showing an incorrect message.

Currently attempting to setup an emerald mine in altrunk. The settlements I have visited would been coin city, pixel gate, thursla(something like that?).

I believe I have been using those portals, didn’t know who made them, just saw they they were very effective at getting me around.

@Jeffrotheswell Thanks for setting up the portal highway!

[Jeffrotheswell]

Happy to oblige

[Lawrey]

Hi-jacking this thread to ask my newbie questions as well.

How does one create a portal leading to other planets without utilizing already existing portals of other players?

I hated that I can be interplanetary by just using others’ portal so I opted not to use them. As @Pseudonyms84 said, it would be like robbing me of the experience.

Edit: Nvm, found this thread and will try later if I find the time

How To Place Portals Right The First Time (OP Outdated - See Replies)

If you have opened some portals you may have noticed they don’t always orient the way you would have wanted them to and trying to change this can be very costly and frustrating (at least it was for me) Anyway i decided to take a bullet for the team and work out how to get the portal you want the first time! (750 Oort Shards later) ///////////Edit: I’ll make a Video Detailing this when i get some recording time =)////////// A video focused on Portal orientation: By popular demand I made a vi…

[Dzchan94]

This is an updated guide. Much simpler to understand

[Lawrey]

But how do we get locations from other planets though? Is the Totem upgrade still a thing? Can’t seem to find its recipe in boundlesscrafting.

[Dzchan94]

Search for warp crystal on boundless crafting

[Lawrey]

Got it. Thanks bro!

[ozarka30]

I saw that someone had green refined gleam, but I don’t see that as a color on the boundlesscrafting.com.

Anyone know where I can get green gleam?

[Pseudonym84]

Green Gleam isn’t currently attainable on any of the planets. It was gifted to both myself and @Scratchnwiff by the developers. The same goes for purple and orange gleam, if you see them about.

We’ve been giving it away on request, though our stocks are getting low. That said, if you need some I’ll happily pass some along for your project.

[ozarka30]

That’s pretty cool, I like that the devs interact with the community.
I could use 42 blocks if you would be able to spare them for my project?

[Pseudonym84]

I’ll be online later today. Just let me know what time suits you best and we can meet up.

[ozarka30]

What timezone are you in?

[Pseudonym84]

I’m in GMT+1.

[ozarka30]

mmkay i’m GMT -4

So i’ll be on for like 30 more min, then be back on around 5-6 pm, which would be 10-11 for for you.
Does that work?

[Pseudonym84]

I’ll make sure I’m online between 17:00 - 18:00 your time.

I’ll send you a private message here on the forums once I’m on.

[ozarka30]

That sounds perfect, Thank you!

I was able to complete the request basket objective by buying 10 of the things I was requesting, I think that’s what the 0/10 stands for on the objective.
