Huge map bug- relic out of bounds

[Spariant4]

ayo my first serious run on a huge map (relic hunt), and I'm stuck on an unwinnable map.
The relic is hidden away out of bounds, all veins lead into the black wall.

Gone through 65+ waves, wondering what i'm doing with myself X(

its not out of bounds, you just have to go around the sides to get to it. maps can look like this: https://imgur.com/AlPwAJP

Not really related, but did you generate this screenshot / know how? I'd love to see where resources where after I end a run (or it ends me, even more interesting how far I was from the cobalt that would save the game) ;p

Nope, there is nowehere to go around. Genuinely surprised.
+1 on the map generation tool, I'd like to examine it as well...

just saying it doesnt really mean anything, nobody has ever been able to provide actual proof this is even possible, and the dev have said nothing about it being a bug. Unless you have actual proof that there is no way around, i dont think this post will do anything, just like the others that are the same.

I didnt know there were other posts, sorry.
I have screenshots, if steam would let me post them...

Here's screengrabs. It's literally behind the black wall.

these are not proof of anything. it could still easily be reachable by going up or down

[Spariant4]

yikes you're a sceptic aren't you

[Rhonox]

Do i believe what a random person on the internet claims? It doesnt matter, were talking about a bug in a game. you've made the claim, you need to provide evidence for anyone to take it seriously. if you wonder why the devs dont have this listed as a known bug after a dozen steam posts and people sending in reports that relics cant be reach, now you know, cuz its not a bug and it can be reached

your idea of evidence is a little backwards.
the devs haven't paid attention, so it must not be true?
And a dozen unrelated players of the game are just taking the piss?

Similar issue here, the relic is out of bounds, I was in normal mode on a medium size map I believe:

The problem is real.

Can confirm it does happen with a bugged map generation, on my end it was even a whole part of the map.

Ah, i finally found something. There was a parameter that was off by one in the map generation. Generting some hundred maps, i could never reproduce it, but if i cranked the parameter up a bit more, it seems plausible what happened.
Unreachable map parts are cut off, but after that, there is some "hardness normalization". In that, it is checked that the map is balanced in terms of hard and soft areas, and changed if it is off. The off by one parameter meant that some areas could actually change from the hardest tile to a border tile.
This is a theory, but it should be confirmed if every "corner" you can see behind the border wall, is actually of the hardest rock.

Will be fixed with the next version v41.5

Nice, thanks!
