Can't find more Mykter Fungicide

[noneya]

I think i need it to coat my weapon so i can get better Mykter to use for research. But to make it i need a brewing station? but to make the brewing station i need the better Mykter? I'm lost please help.

I've generally found enough fungicide in chests to make it through the research tree. Once you get enough research for the terrariums you should just use your fungicide on that till you complete the fungal research.

I wasted the ones I found in chests and really took my time. I've explored most places and can't seem to find any more chests. I am worried I got stuck.

Which tier are you at for research?

[Just Coda]

It's possible to take the nuclear option and start a new world, just to hunt for mykter fungicide.

Alternatively you can take the option that might break your soul, and create a creative world just to brew some. It would be more time efficient but could cheapen your overall experience.

I'm also stuck here on the second tier of research, haven't unlocked the brewing station yet but out of fungicide and haven't found any more in chests yet. Currently searching every island for more.

Any improvement on this? I'm on the big island that needs a coated sword to access an area but I have 1 fungicide left in inventory *. I've gone to many nearby islands and frankly it's becoming a bit demoralising speed running loads of other islands hoping to find some (and knowing I need a ton more to actually complete the research). I'm also concerned that clearing infested islands while looking is then going to mean I'll have none left when I do get a coated sword.

I don't want the game to destroy the exploration/discovery at its core but these situations, IMO, need to be minimised. In this case, after unlocking tier 1 there should be a way of crafting fungicide. Maybe it's expensive to do so and the game says it's better to harvest with a coated sword but damn.

* I only have one because the game, as soon as completing tier 1 research puts you straight into tier 2. As I had no use for Fungicide at that time I just put what I had, but 1, into that.

Personally I found a ton of fungicide in all the "hidden" chests you can find along the way by looking for stone arrows on the ground, etc.. and digging them up using the dorkip; thats what kept me in supply. Nobody up and tellls you this because its "hidden" and left for people to discover, unfortunately.

But all that matters here to me is when you said "demoralize"... this game is in EA but I hate the idea that its bothering you that much when all you did was explore a lot. EA needs better balancing of this IMO... giving you the coater earlier, or simply removing the need to use a coated sword so early... so here is one way out for you:


Say a prayer to the Aloft gods asking for intercession on your behalf (I do this for fun)
Hit "F1" key.
Type "give 800 10", which will should give you 10 Myker Fungicide
Repeat as necessary

Create a new world and go there with your character - skills and everything on you goes with you. Hit a few islands to get what you need, maybe some Knowledge Stones too, then go back to your main world.

You can find fungicide as random loot. You should have more than enough until you can make your own if you explore and don't waste it recoating before its used up or on non-sword weapons (every use of the coated tool uses up a bit of the coating). Try to keep a couple spare as they may be needed for the "?" islands that have critical tech to progress.

There are far more knowledge stones and anchors then there are stuff to learn. They are also biome specific.

(I've finished all current content and been to every single island in game currently with no roadblocks. There was only a single island in the starting zone that I couldn't fix due to bugs)

Appreciate the response (and others that offered help). To be clear, I did spend a few hours opening chests (leaf, wood, hidden and keyed) with not a single yellow mushy to be found. Perhaps I'm unlucky, maybe some sort of bug but damn it was indeed getting very annoying to the point that if I didn't get a reply on this thread I was just going to park the game until a few updates came out.

Not a fan of prayer but in this case I think I've prepaid my pennence. :)

Thanks again.

OMG

So here is the story.

Perform prayer. Look at popup showing 10 Myketer Fungicide added.
WAIT A MINUTE!!!
I have loads of that! Indeed I've found it many times as people suggested.
Go to coating station and WITH IT IN MY INVENTORY it appears as a coating option.

So yes, I'm a dumbo thinking Intact Myketer Sample was what I needed for the coating.

Being a dumbo aside, I will ask the Dev to address a couple of things that led me down this blunderous path.

1. Please, everything else wirelessly pulls from storage. Why doesn't the Upgrade Station?
2. Can items that are discovered or recipes learnt get an entry in the encyclopedia?

Again thanks all for everyone's help. Off now to whip out my coated sword.
