Stuck

[Abel_Mayfair]

I recently played the demo on Kongregate and bought it once I reached the end and for a while things were going smoothly but after the bombardment I find myself screwed.

I never went to pirate island and now my boat and the dock are destroyed and I don't have the dock blueprint. What do I do?

Eh ! , I haven't reached the state yet in game but if I were to have an opinion then I guess that I would like to have known where you are stuck and what you have left of buildings , crafting stations and blueprints. Maybe a 'tall order' for you and maybe the question is best answered by someone that knows the game better than I.

The pirate island can be reached without using the whirlpool - it's between the yeti island and the second magic island. If you're being bombed, you've already been on the second magic island - just go east from there (ideally with the dragon ship, but any high flying vehicle will do). You can defeat the pirates, or just interact with their advanced lab, and that's all you need to continue the science path.

I have never seen a Yeti island. I've been as far east up until you reach blocks you can't drill away and I've seen neither Yeti nor Pirate. Is there a video of the playthrough of this game so far? Maps?

I'm honestly tempted to just start a new game not just because of this but I also never bothered to buy blue prints and I'm pretty sure I still have quests that were supposed to be completed BEFORE the bombardment and I've progressed a lot since then. I've had little to no idea what quests I should be doing first this whole time.

[Abel_Mayfair]

I can feel all the ways that, had I been around and finished what was available up to the next update and so on and so forth I'd know where to go and what to do without just bouncing back and forth trying to not get too far on one side than the other.

[David Maletz]

The quests are a little different - but everything you need is in the underground bunker - you don't lose any opportunities from the bombardment. You'll need to either fly over or drill under that divider, but the ancient dragon can easily get over it (which you get early on the second magic island). But if you want to restart, that's fine too :P .

Pirate Island (pirate side)<Yeti Island<Minotaur Island<Undeveloped Island<The Heights<Sunset Haven<Starting Island>Eastern Island (Magic Island)>Magic Island 2 (Elder Dragon first then main Magic Island 2)>Pirate Island (sea witch side)

Flying over the Pirate Island will require at least a jet, and i think flying over The Heights can be done with jet as well, but i'm not sure about that one. The Dragon ship or the Fighter Escort will definitely be enough (since they can even go up to space).

I was under the impression that killing the Old One can already trigger the bombardment and for that the player need only to be at the Starter and Magic 1. Where are you now? On the starter, then you've got a dragon to fly, same if you are on Magic 1. On Sunset Haven, maybe check the Shady Merchant for blueprints. I'm gonna be 100% honest and admit i've forgotten where did i get the Dock blueprints from. But it's worth a try. You can also get the jet-pack from him, and that will fly you across the waters. One at a time. Just don't forget to pack enough batteries to last you wherever you go and back. Or have means of refill.

EDIT: Now that i think of it, if the dock is destroyed, the pier is still there preventing the rebuilding of the dock, so getting the blueprints might not be the answer in the first place.

EDIT2: If you decide to start over, nothing on the science path will trigger the bombardment (as far as i know). You can safely go East as well as long as you don't build a Dragon ship, maybe don't kill the Storm and don't fight the Old One. Not sure about the last two. But you can go on to Magic 2 without doing that, and trigger the bombing when you are ready for it.

' as far east up until you reach blocks you can't drill away' ?
Is that where the ground leading up to it is violet and the mountain itself is violet ? , if so then I think that must be the island with the Witch and I think that you can dig yourself through a maze beneath the violet mountain. And.....
Anyway , I think that I found a number of blueprints by digging all over the place on different islands and everywhere I could manage - except at the minotaur island where my character got killed in the maze ( ) so I had to revert to a previous save because I ran out of life and or stamina stuff
(I only started buying blueprints rather late because of the high price)

[Abel_Mayfair]

Thanks. I really needed that map. Now I know that those impassable areas are pirate land. I was looking for an in-between area and nearly drowned in ?'s. I guess I just need to farm for a jet first. I'd take my elder dragon but since I'm unable to build a new kitchen to feed it since the bombardment and I can't make a new one in the bunker, in the mage cave, on the surface even briefly enough to cook up some steaks for him. I've just been traveling via full cybernetics and 20 batteries.

Things were going so smooth right up until Mirrows are ready to take on the bombardment themselves and me trying to keep them from the inevtiable. I can't create a powercore for their ship since I don't have advanced lab blueprints. I also haven't been able to find the remaining 2 Evolution shards for the mages side and have the quest for the witch to help her back.

I have used the 'cybernetic' enhancements also they are just so cool and recharge the batteries when not using power...
If you have that then my guess is that you are pretty well off because then you can travel over seas without the boat...
Anyhow , I hope that you will find your way in the game and enjoy it - best of luck in-game and happy play-time

[Abel_Mayfair]

Yeah it's been really fun and addicting. I just didn't know the pirate island had something so crucial. The bombardment occurred while I still had the defeat pirates quest (I thought the whirlpool would just destroy my precious boat) and I figured well... they're dead. Quest complete I guess. Out of sight, out of mind.

[David Maletz]

If you just want steaks for your ancient dragon, you can craft some campfires (more than one if you want to cook many in parallel). It's probably easier than building a jet and the engine upgrade for it. Also, the bombardment will not happen on any island except the starting island and sunset haven, so you could safely build a kitchen on any other island.

[Abel_Mayfair]

Ah sweet. At least if I want to take a break from farming I can just go that route. When I learned I could make a plane I didn't think I'd be using it for anything but combat. I stopped using my dragon as soon as I got a jetpack and only brought him out to fight the green boss thing that I was told was vulnerable to fire. When I encountered the barrier/dividers I just thought I had yet to develop a pick to break it and treated it as a "this is the end; turn back" development.

Me too , it took me quite a while to figure out that the whirlpool acted as a switch and even then I were afraid of loosing the boat. But please notice that you can also switch when flying using your cybernetics jet-pack - a little above the whirlpool in the ocean there will appear a place saying 'enter' if you find the right spot and that will switch also if using that.
As for the pirates then I think that I took them out using a patrolboat with a gun and ammo from fighting the guys in the desert

Oh, but you can. Head back to Sunset Haven and talk with the Ore Merchant and the Mechanic. One of them will give you bunker kitchen blueprints. You can build it in the magic bunker too. But it can only be built by the bunker house so you have to make that too.
Or is it a blueprint that you have to buy? I don't remember.

There's a high chance that if you have that gear, then you also have the power plant blueprint. You can build that in the magic bunker too.

But you'll have an advanced lab all for your self once you make it to the Pirate Island... i mean the pirate side of it.

The Elder Dragon's small island has some... like 4-5 i think. That's pretty easy to get to. There's also a few at the very bottom of the Magic 2's deepest levels. Maybe even 1 or 2 on Magic 1's bottom. Not sure about that one.
