Day 167, Can't find Bonemass nor the Trader. Normal?

[Nostro]

Hi guys,

I don't want to use a different seed. Playing in my own world. I'm on Day 167 right now. I've found only 3 crypts till now and no rune to detect Bonemass' location. I still haven't found the trader in my world. Is this normal or am I taking way too much time here? I heard some players have finished all bosses by day 200. Some even before.

FInding bonemass is simple, but trader...day 300 still havent seen him.

Found my Trader on day 240 and fought Bonemass on day 251
Found and killed Moder on day 260

Its RNG cause now I have to hunt down the last boss!

RNG plays a big roll in how long these things take, as well as how aggressively you're exploring. My friends and I were exploring, but we also spent a lot of time building up a fortress. We had launched a few expeditions specifically to find the trader, but he ended up spawning somewhat far out for us so it took a long time for us to find him (around day 150).

We lucked out and found the Bonemass location in the first crypt we did, but it's crazy far out, and the first swamp we explored had no crypts. IMO, the game could use some RNG smoothing.

I actually like the randomness as compared to my solo playthrough my co-op with friends is going very differently!

crypts are the swamp dungons, the black forest dungons are called burial chambers.

sorry typo, but yeah, theres a lot of swamp biomes, some without crypts, some with like 10 in them

The trader has like 10 locations and most bosses have 6 locations.
