The big drain place

[david.j.diaz08]

Anybody's world spawn without a way across or am i missing something?

You can build piers to cross, and you can also build platforms on the walls left and right.

No, that's the point game doesn't do a good job explaining you're supposed to build your way across. Look up piers in the building menu under 'Wood & Stone'.

You cannot build platforms, the walls are not registerd as walls to anker them to

The game does a poor job of telling you what you can build only at base and what you can build anywhere

I built stone floors to cross

Oh man, I didn't realize there were piers - I got across with wooden platforms

I mean... For me, my dwarf said something about building their way across when I stood at the edge. Also, at the same time, the hint/advice notice about piers dropped. Either that doesn't trigger for everyone, or I'm not exactly sure how much better it should be explained. Large blinking texts and an outline with arrows pointing at it, which all only goes away, stopping you from progression because you can't see anything else, when you have built the first pier?

It was explained just fine. Some people are just challenged in certain ways.

This. Your character literally says out loud that you have to build your way across.

Yes, what I understood as platforms around the wall. Wich doesn't work

Everyone's world spawned without a way to cross. You're supposed to build one, as well as do something about the tentacle monster that wants to smash you to pulp and then eat you.

It triggers, but occasionally it gets cut off or drowned out, such as in the case of my second play through, you can be attacked during the dialogue. There's not many other prompts to free build, and unless you happen to notice the pier in the construction menu, you don't get any evidence it's available, the fact that it's classified with the rest of the 'needs a hearth' scaffolding options is what took me so long to find it.

We got ample notice for quick platforms and rope ladders, but unfortunately, there is no equivalent tutorial prompt for piers.

Almost every single thing I have ever built other than "quick platform" and "rope ladder" has required a hearth to build. When it said you needed to build across I assumed you needed to build a hearth, since the last ~150 buildable items that the game ever gave me except for Quick Platforms has required a hearth. I'm glad I checked online that 1 out of the 180 buildable items (piers) just randomly is allowed to be built without a hearth.
