Less worms? Less clay?

[GrundleGrump]

Has 1.6 made worms way less common? I find lots of the seed ones but the ones that give artifacts or clay seems to have all but vanished.

Am I missing something? Why is clay so hard to find now?

Yes, it's harder for clay. Go to low level mines.

If you are not opposed to mods there is a More Artifact Spots mod that works great. I use it and have it set to spawn 50 spots per day. You can set it to how many you want.

I prefer not to use mods. I'm at end of year 1 and I've found 11 clay in my entire game. I cant find it anywhere. Used to be swimming in it. Not a fan

same here, it took me until mid fall to build a silo when i used to have it by early summer

By the way, if you kinda dislike the clay ratio in 1.6, there is a legacy option.

Just saying.

Simply dig up spots that the hoe works on as clay can be found in any of those and not just artifact spots.

Your farm and beach are large areas this works or in spots such as in front of robin's house or the diggable areas in the mines.

You should be getting clay over time as you do this even with the base hoe and much faster as you upgrade it and can hoe multiple spots faster.

Same problem here, I'm at the end of fall, year 1, and got only 2 artifacts out of artifact spots. I don't know how I will ever be able to go to the sewers or even finsh the museum. Really frustrating...

I'm at the end of summer and have been able to find like 10-15 clay and multiple library books / artifacts

You can still randomly find clay on the farm / beach its just less cheesy and more random

[Queen Droxxanna]

dig up the ground in front of Robins house and you will find clay there.

Early clay I get from the mines. You can till any dirt there and get cave carrots to sustain as well as some other stuff.

[lordoftheapes79]

I think it's tied to your foraging or time gated in some way now. Yeah, CA broke the clay farm strategy, but I'm seeing more worms and getting more clay drops as time passes.

[arti_llery]

Yep, mines is probably the best place. I think I get a small amount from the quarry occasionally too. If I bother to hoe it, depends on my mood.

[Mystic_Phoenix]

This has been my experience as well, as others have said mines or beach for clay.

You don't even need a mod for that anymore really... as 1.6 has an item that spawns a huge ring of the worms around you to hoe up. You could do hundreds upon hundreds of worms in a day.
