No morkite in tutorial mission

[Tappy]

I had to abandon the tutorial mission because there was no morkite. I checked the entire area, even drilling a bunch of holes in walls. There was the second brown dirt patch, which i dug through to a distance of 30 meters. There was NO room beyond it. So I gave up. Hope this doesn't mean I missed part of the tutorial.

did you check the terrain scanner while you were near the patch of dirt? I've never repeated the tutorial but I was under the impression that it doesn't randomize its layout

[Tappy]

What terrain scanner? Is there a terrain scanner?

[Waste_of_skin]

I think the default key for the scanner is Tab? You can check the key binds in the game options.

And you can repeat the tutorial whenever you like. There is a "Launch Tutorial" button in the in-game Miner's Manual (hit Escape). The tutorial is always the same.

There's a ton of morkite in there. I really don't understand how people are having trouble with the crafted tutorial level :T
If you're ever missing something it gives you a pop-up for controls and stuff.

The terrain scanner brings up a map which will show that sometimes through those dirt patches you have to go off a bit to the side or maybe down a bit to hit the connecting tunnel. Morkite will appear on the walls as shiny black patches with a bluish/purplish reflection you can see in the dark. Often it's quite high on the walls so it's good to get Bosco to go and mine it rather than trying to get to it yourself. I don't recall the tutorial mission or know if it's procedural or a fixed layout, but I have had missions where it literally is only found in the bottom most room and last few tunnels. Other times I can fill nearly half the quota in the starting room and tunnels. :)

Dirt hides a passage most of the time. 90% times if you destroy every piece of dirt you will get to another tunnel. As others said, use your map to look for the way forward.

I just reran the tutorial (go to the in-game Miner's Manual > Getting Started, and there is a "Launch Tutorial" button in the upper right).

It should be pretty straightforward. For the first 2 dirt patches, you just need to dig straight through. If you went off at an angle, I guess you might have missed the next room. There is a 3rd dirt patch and when you approach that, the game will tell you to use the scanner (like it prompted you to use flares, etc.). I guess they didn't think that you would need it on the first 2 patches.

If you still have a problem with that 2nd dirt patch, you might want to have Steam verify the game files, just in case your files are corrupted.

I might play the tutorial for some ancient nostalgia. I remember next to nothing about it and it's likely been updated/revamped at least once but I'd presume it introduces everything in baby steps with on screen button prompts for everything you need.

Well, that's the ideal, but obviously this tutorial doesn't do that. Furthermore, progress isn't saved, so if I wanted to go back to the tutorial, I'd have to start over. So, just my 2-cents, but I think this tutorial pretty much sucked. And since its my only experience of the game so far, I think the game sucks.

Weird conclusion after a few minutes in. The game is confusing at first, but pretty self explanatory the more you play it. If you don't care to play further we can't stop you but giving up after the tutorial seems...idk, weak?
If you haven't just encountered the first bug ever of this kind then chances are, that you ran past quite a few patches of Morkite. Maybe host a public game on a low hazard and ask incomers for help to explain the game to you (if you don't have friends playing it).
Would be a shame to toss it away after a mere tutorial.

I do know that there are several youtube videos going through the entire tutorial. I think I saw one called "First 12 minutes of gameplay" I'm 300 hours into the game, but I absolutely understand and remember the lack of detail and confusing aspects of the tutorial level. Once you've played a while it all seems like common sense easy stuff and once you've played a few hours in the real world, you realize the tutorial is not the best. Not to mention, once you get out of mining missions, Point Extractions, Salvage Missions, finding buried gems and things are not self explanatory.

It took me a while to get into Deep Rock, I even refunded at one point but then bought it again despite it going back to full price. It's extremely tactically and strategically dense but took a while for it to click, at first I let the cartoonyness get to me which really hindered me appreciating what a deep co-op it is. Never looked back though, it's in the top 3 co-ops out there for me.

Oh I don't think so. I remember when I started out I was extremely confused with those - especially since I played mostly solo. All bleepy, blinky stuff no one ever explained or showed and everything management had to say about it was "do it".
Yet it wasn't rocket science. Took me probably longer than anyone else, but it IS kinda self explanatory.
The machine events are something else entirely though. Wouldn't mind a logbook or seperate tutorial to explain what's going on there. Because I've let that game rest for almost a year and feel like the greenest greenbeard in DRG history.

I have no idea what to tell you when tutorial is too hard for you. I remember blasting through it easily, but I know many people don't realize they have actual map to use and look for the path.

If you ever decide to complete it, make sure to study miner's manual before jumping in more missions.
