Treasure maps

[Warwick🐺]

So like, is the treasure burried in the ground, or we need find a place to loot? IT doesn't say on the paper what to do. If we dig, how far down is it ? 3 blocks down at most? 10 blocks?

There is a zone where the treasure icon on your compass flashes red. Somewhere in that zone the chest lies. It is randomly placed so it could be above ground but usually it is under one or two layers of dirt. You will have to be very lucky to find it quickly but the loot is worth it when you eventually do find it. It really is there.

yup was on the dev blog and patch notes for a while now

Found the chest, got a luncher skematics and herbal skimatics :P
I'll say it was fun getting to the place and finding the loot, but the reward isnt that great. In a near by gunstore i got a rocket luncher with 4 rockets, which is by far a better reward than what i found in the chest.

But its a cool thing you guys are finallying implenting quest and added theses treasure hunts.

Nothing like running 500 miles to find a first aid kit, a splint, a few antibiotics and a schematic for leather boots.

I'm digging around quite a bit, went pretty low... i'll have to keep digging up higher I guess!

[Lefty9049]

Good feature.

You need to change it so the chest doesnt auto self destruct though, i opened my first one, found another quest, clicked to open it which took me out of the chest GUI which caused it and the items to be destroyed.

Good job on the update so far!.....not so keen on you removing "iron fragments" though :)

When you say dirt...my treasure is in a snow biome. Would it be in the snow layer or in the dirt below it?

Yarr matey, time to find some booty.

[ghost-nl]

when the icon flashes red don,t forget to piont your ass to the north side off the map only then you will find what you are lookin for good luck,,,,,,,,

Guys, keep in mind there is a perk that makes your treasure icon more accurate. It may be worth investing in that. I have no idea how it works yet, but I saw it in the skill list.

Yeah, I found one easy enough in dirt, but one in snow dome, I dug 8 squares around and down 4 of snow and three of dirt. I gave up... too many zeds coming to see what I was digging for. I'll have to get that perk I guess. BTW, the new perk tree is nice. Well done.
