question about realms themselves

[Mazquerade]

Hello, realmwalkers.

I wanted to ask about realms. I looked into the explanation provided in the FAQ but it didnt answer my question...

The question is, how many realms are there? Is there really an endless number of realms or does a specific card combination leads always to the same world?
If I use, for example, forest+astrolab combination, it will create a realm for me. I explore it, then leave it. Then I go into a different realms. But if I use the forest+astrolab combination again later on, will it always link to that specific world it created before, everythin already explored and looted, in which case "endless" isn't! really endless, or does it creates a completely new realm again?

I just open a realm, went in and found out it was the realm where i have been like 4 days before and looted everthing and it felt really disappointing...

All realms are procedual generated. There are bigger landscape tiles used, so sometimes you think your on the same map again. If you use the same card combination with the same difficult you open at default the old map again. But you can use in the left bottom corner the reset checkbox, than you get a new different generated map.
The big reset box (on opened portals) just only reset your cards in the portal, not the realms.

There is a check box in the portal screen to reset the realm. You have to check that to generate a new realm, otherwise you go to the one you already went to

Much obliged, thank you!

Right now thats WRONG.
I just went through a activated portal i already went through before. Same Card and difficulty configuration. Nothing changed. But the realm was completely different and all my progress there lost.
Homebase still intact though.
Right now it seems no realm is safe from being deleted. Pretty bad.

can´t confirm that. I visited a realm i used long before in the first few days today again, to farm salt. And there are pois done, spots are mined and the minor card i used is still active.

Thats nice for you, but believe me when i say, i had "non home realm" deleted and "rerolled" today without me changing anything at the open portal.

Did u place new cards with the same biome? Or did u select, reopen the portal without placing new cards? The moment u place new cards, it resets to a new realm. That's what i understand of it as i read ppl's posts.... if u choose not to reopen the portal but place new cards, even with the same type of cards as befoe, that old realm is gone. Just click reopen the portal and do nothing else, that should keep it the same... Select not to reopen the portal but placing new cards, removes the old realm. As far as i know.

Don´t take it offensive. I don´t want to say that i don´t believe you, that this could happen. I would only make a take to show that its not common and the most people haven´t that drouble.
Of course its an early access, you should always be ready that some bad bugs can happen, or all your "work" can wipe (by bugs or by dev-patches). Its always sad when something happens, but that´s what the warning mean on the shopsite.

every difficulty level is part of the combination. If you had previously gone to a medium desert hunt realm, and then change difficulty to extreme and use the same card combo, you are going to a completely new map.

Difficulty level + biome + major card = its own unique save slot. Each slot, once generated, can be reset separately.

If you built a lot of stuff on medium desert hunt, then make an extreme desert hunt realm, you can re-set the extreme desert hunt as much as you want. It will not affect the medium desert hunt realm. And vice versa.
