Cloutium Question

[VoiceGS]

Hey

So just started playing this game and enjoying it. I'm still at the first Quarry and dug down as far as I could go to place my T1 drills, but Cloutium still seems to be very rare. Is this intended? I have 4 drills (working on my 5th and 6th) Would I be better of moving to a new Dig Site to go even lower than the starting Site? Is this mean't to happen to slow down progress? Not that it's an issue.

Tips please?

Nah, just get enough stuff together to move on out.
All the other properties are bigger and better.

Ember Cradle (EC - the Starting Claim), is a shallow claim for getting started. It does not go to the bottom of T1, but it DOES extend across the river. ALL other Claims extend to the bottom of T3, but you need to work EC to earn the Ores you need. Continue working it, placing as many T1 Drills as you can (like I said, above, the claim extends across the River). Use that the start getting Cloutium, build a T2 Drill or two, then go look for another Claim that you wish to work.

Each claim has unique features. Mildew Aquifer has it's water supply at the BOTTOM of the Site, with certain section only going down to T2 Dirt, while others extend down to T3. Dreck Quarry has it's Water Supply at the back of the Claim, and South Hope has the Beach WAAAAAAYYY at the far side of the Claim. Icehelm, inside the mountain, extends horizontally, rather than vertically. Unlike all other Claims, the T2 and T3 Dirt is further in a horizontal direction, rather than a vertical direction. You still place your Drills normally, but the deeper into the Wall you go, the more valuable the dirt.

If you have further questions, please feel free to ask, but it helps to provide as much detail as you can when asking, as there may be a key point in said details...
