i am worndering

is there going to be a better way to find the temples or fortress or what ever they are considered that are in the game already. I have played just about 40 hours total game play over different times so far and i have only found one and it was number 2 of 3 that are in game already. I am not sure if i am just looking in the wrong spots but i would love to know where they are even though i am not to that point quite yet. i have also had trouble with the attachments int the game like the monster slayer attachment. I may have been doing it wrong for it to pop i am not sure but i have taken out every enemy i have came in contact with witch has been quit a lot.

Infuse a key, use your beacon compass :). The monster slaying, you have to be the one to get the last hit.

Not sure what "infuse a key" using the beacon compass means. I've played for over 70 hours now and haven't found one of the temples and I've travelled extensively and have every gem running from large deposits and have opened up a majority of the research items. I would love to find one (or all three would be better). Cheers

I spent a week trying to find the third temple with no luck. I infused the key for it and followed the compass digging a tunnel to it. After I got the gem i figured I'd follow the tunnels out to see where I messed up and to my surprise all the tunnels leading out were dead ends!

Once you unlock the final automation step in the research bench you are able to build the key infuser. You use this to make the three gem infused keys (keys purchased from market plus 500 polished gems of each type). When you have the infused key in your inventory the beacon compass will have an option to point you to the tomb.
There's nothing really that actually states this anywhere until you have made them. I think this is something the devs could say more about (like in the rune stone text or something) so people won't spend hours looking for those tombs. I spent way too many hours running around looking for them and only found one before I completed the keys. However, it is something to do while you are waiting for your machines to earn 10,000,000 gold...

Cheers billthebad, thank you so much for pointing out what I need to do, it would have taken me forever to work that out and I probably would have given up before I did. Thanks again, I'll keep working on it now but 10 million gold is a lot to earn!

You're welcome. 10 million takes some time. It is essentially the final step to the end-game goal of the current version. I played for 60 hours before beating it the first time. A gold and silver factory making golden pistons or turbo filters and a couple of emerald polished gem factories will make pretty short work of it.

Thank you, I haven't found out how to polish gems yet although I have several lines making ingots of all three types. Assume that you get a lot more cash for the polished ones rather than just selling the ingots?

[john.h.cox]

Should have looked more carefully as I can see where the polisher is now!! Cheers
