any tips on finding the clockwork biome?

[JavaJack]

in my first playthrough, i found that gears are a pretty big part in getting through the winter (for ice boxes) now on my second try, i can not find them anywhere. are there any tips on finding this biome? thanks for all answers ;)

I'm on day 160 and still haven't found any, haha. Honestly the darn Hound attacks are cramping my explorations.

that is why you turn off hound attacks at the beginning ;) lol

You can't craft a lot of items without hound teeth.

i guess you could just lower the frequency of the attacks then.

if you have found graves dig them up, there is a chance to get gears that way. watch out for ghosts and your sanity meter drops each time you dig one up. so be prepared to fix your sanity too.

There is really no "special" way to find the biome. You just need to pick a place you haven't explored and simply go there. I recommend doing this through summer only. Search everywhere. What I have noticed however is that they always seem to be somewhere near bee hives. But maybe that was just a random thing that occurred for me back to back. Always walk on roads to speed things up.

No damn way!

Mine in my current playthrough has 3 grasslands around it, all containing bees, it covers a quarter of the map for me. Just bees. What a waste of space, anyways though, I think it is, because there are bees EVERYWHERE! I hate going to see the place (I like to look at it every once in awhile, thinking of the times I'll have with my own clockwork knight).

I've found killer bee hives to be a sure way to tell so far. If you see a concentration of killer bee hives somewhere, odds are you'll have to go through there to get to the chess biome.

BTW, fighting them is a waste of time and resources. Just craft yourself a beekeeper hat or three, and run like hell.

well, i just found it. it was near the rock biome. interseting.

funny, my clockwork biome is near the kiler beehives too.

But if you get too frustrated then get the mini tools mod, use the map reveal cheat, check where it is and then turn off the mod, you will then have your normal map back.

i guess the bees may be a coincidence. mine was between rock and swamp. but atleast i found the biome before day 20 in time for winter.
