Cave Stone

[☥ Docdra ☥]

Anyone found a cave (stone) yet? This is my second map, not counting the demo, and I've yet to see one. I've read that there's only one per map, but that seems like TOO much gatekeeping to me, especially considering the size of the map.

Are there a lot of caves in the actual game?

only found 1 cave all way down map

Just found one, but it was next to the big bad spiky lair with bad guys all over the place.

Well, this IS the actual game, it just isn't finished yet. I don't know what their plans are, but I have to think a lot of people won't be happy if there is only one source of iron on the entire island. On top of that, you sort of need the iron early on too.

I only tried the demo and i never saw any caves.

I think I ran around 35% of the island, gave up looking, plopped down a fire, then while running around gathering stuff I found the darn thing...only to look up and see a spiky tower and mobs all around it.

Ok good to know there aren't a ton that would be a pain..

I think there needs to be more than one, but no, a bunch aren't needed.

I'm ok with a few but some game have like 50+ lol

I believe there are more than 1 per map.

It can be well worth regenerating the map (starting again) and scouting until you find a cave with nice surroundings if you want to have a cozy playthrough.

You can use the map as the difficulty slider that way ;)
Easy = Cave near to the beach and free of enemy camps within the nearish vicinity.
Hard = Cave surrounded by enemy camps.

(to help with this, there are usually about 3 caves per seed at the moment)

Well, that sounds a LOT better than one or 20+, thanks for the reply.

A tip in case anyone else is wondering - caves look like huge rocks that show up on the scanner, they don't look like caves. I was looking for them at the beach but found one way inland.

No but if you keep starting your game you can change the island to suit you.
