    Hi all. I just joined the game, subbed, and bought enough silver to settle a claim. I have watched a variety of YT vids, but have some "finer tuned" questions I was hoping I could explain well enough to get answers on. :)

     

    I staked a claim on a hill next to a body of water. I have been messing around with all the ways to even out the land (about a 15% grade). My question is, what is the easiest way to go about it? Would it be easier to dig at the lowest point of the land (next to the water) to grade it out? Or would it be better to bring dirt to fill in the lower part of the grade to make a platform? I hope that makes sense.

     

    Also, is there an advantage to building a small house and later add to it or tear it down to replace it, or is it ok to just plan a large house and build it over time?

     

    Also, if anyone has a link to a priority guide on building a settlement, that would be GREAT!

     

    Thanks!

    Hiya Oddfellow, and welcome to Wurm!

    What I usually do is pick a spot partway up the hill to start from... as mentioned, the depth of dirt before you hit stone is a big factor but just as a starting point. Just assume it might be 40 deep (pretty typical). Look at the slope of your hill to get an idea of how many tiles wide your flat spot can be made without hauling in a lot of dirt... just to make it easy, let's say your slope is about 12-14 per tile. If you want to have your flat spot near the water's edge, move upslope say 3 tiles. Activate your shovel and right click on the tile, pick flatten. This should make that tile flat or with maybe a corner low by 1. If you need to, grab a dirt somewhere to finish leveling the tile. What I do from this point is level the upper tile, then level the lower tile, repeat this back and forth. Depending how many you can carry, this might take a bunch of cycles but you will grab 4 from above and then fill 4 below. This keeps you from having to carry much dirt from place to place.

    I hope this helps... you can adjust depending on just how much dirt you find you have to work with :)

    This is a great server to play with and see what is possible. The settings are very fast which makes things very easy so it is good for trying stuff. If you enjoy the challenge of crafting you may like a slower server. I find I like both, one to experiment on and play with endgame type stuff, and one to where you get a sense of accomplishment from working at it :)

    I will be there to help out however I can... I've been away so I will have to check my chars and see who can be the most help.

    Shrimpiie, if possible, could I have a couple rooms since I will have several chars there?  If it gets too crowded I will be happy to downsize as needed :)

    Hi, Just found on my server we can dig/dredge Rock tiles on cliff faces, can also mine/tunnel depending what tool you're holding,  some you can only dig some you can mine also.

     

    Mods I have that have anything to do with mining or digging are

    better digging mod, dig like mining mod, surface mining mod, moon metal mod, I also had to use Cave Resource fix as my ores were only at 40-50 hits.. 

     

    Flatten and level dont work, only dig action...

     

    Dig and mine option..

    Hi Darkness,

    We are just starting a new server and are having that issue with the ores only having minimal ore in them before popping... can you tell me about the Cave Resource fix or where to find info on it?

     

    Thanks!

    Since they just had an update, that prompted me into running patcher.bat.  All my mods are back now, but ESP still crashes the instant I enable XRay.  The version I downloaded is 0.1.0, is that the right one or am in the wrong place?

    If that should be working, I can try deleting the folder and properties file and redownloading I suppose. I can't remember if I have done that already or not.

     

    Thanks

    I am still having problems with the XRay in ESP and I have downloaded the latest version 0.1.0 I think?

    Can I just replace the files or do I need to run patcher again (I haven't done that)

     

    Thanks for your wonderful work on this stuff!

    I'm a little confused... I started a char on the difficult server... got far enough to get a mine open with iron in it... make some tools... built a tiny one tile house to lock stuff up in...

     

    Came back a few days later, and everything is gone including the character... I mean, I understand difficult... but having to start new again?  What's up?

    Hi all,

    A new server showed up on the list the other day with 25x skills and lots of mobs.  I have been playing it for a couple days and I like it so far.  I haven't been able to find a map for it though.

    Does anyone know about this server and where I could find a current map?

     

    Thanks

    After about 4 deaths I did finally get an option to spawn at my deed instead of 'outside' my deed.  Don't know what changed from the other three times :)

    My apologies for not thinking to take a screen shot of the choice menu.

    If it helps any, I counted the options listed... there were 18. Included in that list were "Outside the Cookhouse" and Start which left 16 for the 9 starter tokens... I seem to remember that Linton showed but not Outside Linton, I don't remember which other one was missing.

    In any case, Blucher is back home again finally with just a pile of missing skill points to show for the excitement!

    Hello,

    My character Blucher is having an issue.  I haven't played her in a while but popped in for a bit to fill deed upkeep.  My deed is the Cookhouse on Xanadu.  Blucher is the mayor.

    She died and when I tried to come back in, I received options for all the starter deeds, Start, outside most of the starter deeds, and 'outside the cookhouses'.  Unfortunately, this apparently translates to 'wayyyy up the mountain above the cookhouse'.  Oddly enough, several years ago, I made a tunnel up to the top of the mountain which has since failed in several places including the upper mine door.  Every time I have died (3 times now tonight) it has brought me to the tile immediately outside where the mine door used to be.

    If it helps any, there is an FSB up there just a couple tiles north of that spot.  Anyway, I will leave Blucher signed in for as long as possible tonight in case that helps.

     

    If not, I will watch the forum messages :)
