New Start

[devilsdream3105]

I started new for newest update and have a few questions. Are Emerald Islands now in the Fall Heights biome? I've encountered a few of them already. I now have had a few anchors that have nothing and knowledge stone give me a blueprint that I have already, is that supposed to happen now? I got a couple clay machines blueprints in Fall heights section, new? It's not like I can make them. I've travelled the whole Fall Heights and still haven't gotten the saw blueprint, Has it changed?

So to complete do a fresh start, you need to create a new character and then a new game using that character. Sounds like you didn't create a new character, but instead used your old character. I did that the first time I tried to do a fresh start. I'm playing through again for a 2nd time, with both a new game and new character. I think the game is good for at least two play throughs. The main difference this time I'm using a base from the Steam Workshop. It is more like an airship than an island, which I'm really liking.

I've done several play-throughs. Every time, I encounter a mix of both Emerald Isle and Fallen Heights biomes, although the first several sectors (between the barrier near the Loom Fresco and the Sawmill Fresco, along the "left" side of the inner ring) are mostly Fallen Heights. At first they were entirely Fallen Heights, but more recent play-throughs have seen a higher percentage of Emerald Isle mixed in (on the left side). The right side of the inner ring has always yielded a large quantity of Emerald Isles (about 50-50%).

It is possible that they are tweaking the randomizing function (note: while Aloft has no procedurally-generated islands, it does randomly place where the islands "land" on the map).

I have also found many islands of the Emerald Isle persuasion in the Red Cliffs areas. These archipelagos are shown in red, falsely indicating to me that they would be Red Cliffs biome.

No, you shouldn't get blueprints you already know. The one time I thought it happened to me, it turned out that the new blueprint (a Linen chair) was using the same icon as one I already knew (a light wood version; the new blueprint was a dark wood version that mistakenly looked light wood). If that's not the case with your situation, I would recommend sending a bug report.

Uh, afaik there are only two "clay machines" -- the Pottery Wheel (only obtainable at the final fresco site, an Adobe City in Red Cliffs) and the Kiln (which should also only unlock in the Red Cliffs). What, specifically, did you unlock? Sounds like a bug.

Did you explore the top-most fresco site (The Cloven Galleon)? Follow the ? on the table-map.

Thank you for all the replies. I'll keep going for a while and if I can't find it I will restart again. I usually just remove the save file and start new.
