Steggs' Boundless Adventures!

Ah thanks AnnieGYG :smiley: Yeah Dan’s been super helpful with that kinda thing, I had to tweet him to find out where Copper was… :joy: I’m a fan of the smart stacks now I know how they work! I can definitely see how it could be frustrating if you’ve got a huge stack of different things though!

@Miige Yeah I’ve been playing around with that a bit in my spare time, didn’t realise they were vertical too, so I built a super high structure and came back to see half of it was gone! At least I’m getting to learn though thanks to you guys! :slight_smile:

Don’t let him get too helpful though, it’s a shame you lost the recording of the original part 5 and it was obvious you’d had a look or been told about spark and the power core as for the first little bit you lost the ā€œinnocenceā€ and genuine surprise factor which brings a lot of character to your videos.

I’m torn between pouring out everything I’ve learned in the past week to you wanting to help, but I think too much help will definitely take away some of the charm of what makes these videos so great to watch, laugh along with and really relate to. It’s so it’s great to actually see a ā€œreal personā€ playing and enjoying their highs and lows.

The grappling hook stuff was great by the way, I’ve not taken mine out for a proper spin yet, I didn’t think it was up to much but I’ve just seen from you what I’m supposed to do I think XD

Yeah I’ve done it before where I hit ā€œStop recordingā€ and it comes up with ā€œRecording startedā€, my heart sinks every time :frowning: I’m really glad you’re enjoying the series, I’m always a little anxious going into a new community, especially with videos, but the response has been awesome :smiley:

Ah I think I’ve seen an awesome way to use the grappling hook! I won’t give it away yet, but the next episode I’ll show it off (although, I saw one of my neighbours doing it, so it’s not my idea!)

Compact your coal for the furnace its gives you more cycles. Grab you a lot of peaty soil and compact it for your power core. Just an FYI.

I’m going to drop this one in because it’s non spoiler but I’ve read about on here, and employ the method myself to just use stone tools as they are super easy to make, so I carry 30 stone hammers about with me for everyday use, then carry 1 copper one and 1 silver one which I ONLY carry only on mining expeditions just in case I see anything nice.

The durability hit to the tools on death can really hurt a newer player if they make a habit of carrying round higher level tools everywhere. You’re starting to see how much copper/silver/gold you need for other crafting.

The greatest grappling hook technique you’ve ever seen in this episode! (Note - we should all know my inability to do great things).

We’re working on a Refiner and a Power Core, so next time we can start looking at getting some spark :smiley:

PS AnnieGYG, that’s a good tip there, I like using my iron one though, it’s so much faster! :frowning:

At 12:33 on episode 5, there was an ancient component in that cave. You will need your iron hammer to get it! It’s a difficult part to find, and you need two for your power core :wink:

Edit: I got excited and posted this before I even finished the video… derp!

Haha! Yeah they seem really rare, gotta keep an eye for them - not sure what else I need them for, but I feel they’re gunna come in handy later down the line :slight_smile:

I was so close to putting the music in, but apparently there’s a thing called copyright :frowning: :stuck_out_tongue:

I thought you could use less than a certain amount of time for music/clips, like 10 seconds worth without breaking copyright? It’s not something I know a lot about but I know someone did a top ten something or other and joked at the start we’d get 10 second clips of the things so he didn’t break copyright.

Aww, you brought out my motherly instincts in this one, I wanted to give you a hug.

If it makes you feel better the only way I found out how power cores worked was that my game crashed as I was experimenting throwing ALL the things into it, focusing on refined metals thinking the power core was the next up-grade in the crafting chain and it would do something like laser zap them, (and like you I was crafting random stuff to ā€œpower it upā€).

I went to bed when it crashed and I was ā€œluckyā€ it was compact coal I’d left in there so I woke up to 5000 spark.

The downside was the power core had then eaten my entire supply of coal so I never had any fuel for the next few days to cook food/smelt ores lol (since I wait to bulk process coal as it’s much cheaper on the resources).

Very fun. :slight_smile:

:joy: I was so confused!

Oh wow you got super lucky with that one! Well… apart form losing all your coal to it, but at least you got a load of spark! :smiley:
