Summary0007372: Exploration Ilua
DescriptionThe lack of a reliable source of wooden platforms and crates is irritating at best. I propose adding a third Ilua to the settlement, to provide Glyphbearers with vital equipment.

In order to make this fair, there would have to be a system of "paying" for supplies. For that, I suggest the ability to "sell" unwanted Enchants to this Ilua. Whether this would be converted to a currency or traded directly for supplies is up to you.

Just visit a couple of stashes in some buildings and you can get ridiculous numbers of platforms and crates. You can also get enchants like double and triple jump -- or spells like ride the lightning and lightning rocket -- that make it so that you don't even need very many of the above.

That's the problem-- I spend hours looking through stashes and only finding upgrades and glyph transfer scrolls. On the rare occasion that I DO find platforms, they're almost always stacks of 5.

It varies by region type, I should note -- and type of building. Go for building-dense areas like the grasslands and small town areas and you'll be rolling in platforms and crates in no time. If you're getting lots of glyph transplant scrolls it sounds like you're in the foresty areas.

I've never had a shortage of platforms or crates. I actually sometimes wish I did since that would force me to think carefully before placing them. If it's true that the distribution is uneven, then that's great because it means that you'll sometimes be lacking a strategic resource. In my experience though they're just really plentiful. And by the time one gets to the third continent and beyond, I don't think it'll ever be an issue again because there will just be so many of them.

I have this problem with the lamp (the placeble light source), but certainly not with the platforms or crates. I have around 10000 of each, so I won't be getting out of supply any time soon.

The moon lamps can only be found in the ice age areas, so those tend to be very sparse for that reason.

The glyph transplant scrolls can only be found in the forest, so hence why those would be short in supply for most players but why I guessed Leafy Greens was spending mostly time in the forest.

i'm actually getting them in the desert, thawing plains/woods, and shallows. i hardly spend any time in the forest. still, i haven't tried the skelebot junkyards at all yet, so maybe they're easier to find there. thanks for the help.

Wow, those are super rare in those other areas! What an interesting thing the random number generator is doing to you... giving you super rare (but definitely possible) stuff and not giving you the super common stuff. That's... odd.

Not remotely outside the realm of plausibility, and that's kind of something that can just happen with unbounded random number generators, but still.

Oh: but specifically, I'd seriously recommend the grasslands and abandoned towns. Those have tons of tiny buildings, most with stashes, so it's superfast to pick up lots of stuff. But the stuff there tends toward the generic rather than the exotic, meaning lots of what you are actually looking for in this case.
