Current Cave Feedback & Cricitism

[pine thunder]

Looking for feedback as to what could be improved with the current Oaklands caves. An important thing to note is that a remake of the caves is not possible.

[upbeat crane]

caves suck

[grand cypress]

more ores

[stable frost]

add cool tunelles

[sleek wren]

lighting!

[simple vigil]

make tunnel

[floral kernel]

WHO DELETED MY FIEST

[spice kernel]

the ores make it hard to drive

[bold scaffold]

rare ore spawns

[hidden wasp]

better lighting

[upbeat iris]

lanterns

[gloomy aurora]

wdym a remake is not possible

[hidden wasp]

bigger cave system

[primal crypt]

add more things to save for

[simple vigil]

add a way to go past the ores

[rough dune]

make em darker bruh im tryna get LOST

[simple vigil]

we want more cave shops

[ashen basalt]

Make the grabbing tool system more smoother on mobile

[upbeat iris]

as lights

[fluid plover]

To be fair I get lost a lot

[upbeat crane]

I HATE CAVES

[kind flower]

more ores and areas like magma caves

[teal lily]

If the caves can't be remade then remove them idk

[warped needle]

Make Lanterns brighter

[turbid oasis]

Ores that grow out of the walls, not the ground cause it’s hard to drive through

[uneven seal]

there should be certain areas that shouldnt spawn ores, like in the middle??? since trucks yk, so like make ores spawn on the sides instead

[snow crown]

more secret areas

[mild tinsel]

Ice cave addition in parallel to the magma cave

[upbeat iris]

plz 😦 😦 😦 😦

[floral kernel]

make duck shrine

[candid bridge]

a mining vehicle that can attach to a normal vehicle would be apriceated otherwise there good

[simple vigil]

done already

[rose agate]

map is too small and space is limited, drives new players away

[primal crypt]

schematic scrapper remove materials from schematics

[spark dew]

Room to drive

[fluid plover]

I just want a minimap T-T

[uneven seal]

you should have seen old map

[simple vigil]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1116736527171584120/1124689948822491136/speed.gif

[hearty grail]

Make the caves go deeper

[rose agate]

i did play the old map

[wanton sluice]

Some easier way of navigation, i had not played the game for a while and came back to the new map super lost

[thin bone]

make ores / rocks spawn on the sides (walls) and MAYBE the roof rather than just the floor. this could also give a use for the extendable ladder and easier driving through the caves themselves

[bright totem]

More explosive walls with ore behind them that could potentially have an easier spawn rate than elsewhere?

[teal lily]

More schematics would be nice, faster way to mass delete existing structures

[uneven seal]

and you're still complainging on how small the map is💀💀💀

[bold scaffold]

rare ores

[slender marten]

I like exploring so bigger and VERY VERY deep caves

I just like getting lost in them

[upbeat iris]

maybe new ore?

[slender marten]

and coming out with like diamonds

[vapid root]

Make the fog clearer when you’re near your truck headlights, makes exploration easier

[still smelt]

Stalagmites of ores

[primal crypt]

yes

[sick patio]

make it less dark in some places

[rose agate]

the old map was actually open and you could see whats going on, this map is mostly tunnels and you dont know where to go or what to do

[primal crypt]

w cactus

[lean hull]

In the words of Bill wurtz

[slender marten]

Make an NCP

[gloomy aurora]

idk what u mean by they can't be remade but like I think it would be better if it wasn't all just tunnels and there was some interesting open areas and more depth to the caves. They feel very 2 dimensional if that makes sense

[lean hull]

"Bigger and there's more of them"

[primal crypt]

yes

[glad agate]

The cave would be okay if the mushrooms didn’t knock us around and maybe signs to show us to the exit lol

[slender marten]

that is a lost miner very VERY deep underground

[grand wasp]

make some sort of indicator you can swim high above the air, forcefield or something

[primal crypt]

w words

[sick patio]

rest stations for us with lights and crazy scientist

[slender marten]

and you can help him or her

[sterile sphinx]

Add crystals!

[wanton sluice]

Maybe a minimap that changes depending if your above/ underground

[steep spoke]

A way for ores to spawn closer to the walls and less on the middle so you can drive more easily around

[uneven seal]

the only tunnel is the MMs cave and mikes mine, which is not ALOT, and like we alr have an easy guide such as the oaklands MAP

[mossy raptor]

Lol so much non sense

[steep spoke]

A miner merchant

[fluid plover]

Yes minimap plz

[rose agate]

and its not complaining its constructive criticism

[frank sage]

move the ores closer to the walls, because driving down the caves is really annoying since there just in the middle of the path, you could also make desniated areas inside the caves to drive too for ore

[sterile sphinx]

^^^^^^^^

[uneven seal]

mikes mine shop:

[eager halo]

More ores would be nice

[warped needle]

yup, they could like remove the pillars, some of em i guess

[steep spoke]

Inside the cave, like a lost miner or so

[uneven seal]

i agree, but then again what would it sell

[mossy raptor]

Honest entire cave update would be amazing.

[wanton sluice]

Would have the map (obviously) and all the important locations labeled on it, you can click on it to resize. Idk

[ancient granite]

unpopular truth. bland + the ores arent worth the time compared to wood

[frank sage]

a entire mining update would be good, ores are quite useless to farm for money when lava wood exists

[warped needle]

i'll give you something better, what would it trade for something in exchange?

[steep spoke]

Probably new items, or maybe they could move all (or some) mining equipment down there

[mossy raptor]

This game is more of a tree chopping simulator then a mining

[remote mulch]

more unique areas and locations to make the caves feel more alive, no point in going left or right if you end up getting the same ores anyways

besides lava cave I guess

[mossy raptor]

More cave ambience like water dripping

[torn harness]

the problem with caves is that they are not worth it in general compared with trees. Its like a side money u can get. Wood is much more profitable, easier to ser, navigate, its just better. You gotta balance the caves to make them as beneficial as wood

[frank sage]

i mean i guess but it would be cool if mining was as viable as tree chopping

[eager basin]

they could add lets say a underwater area with a expensive ore

[mossy raptor]

Flooded caves

[eager basin]

yeah

[frank sage]

well the caves do have lava wood and those are op

but ik what u mean

[torn harness]

Yeah but its nerve racking

[eager basin]

@pine thunder flooded caves?

[frank sage]

ig but the risk is well worth it, 100k per load

[winged bane]

Just make it lighter please.

[mossy raptor]

Surprised their not a mineshaft guy in the caves with like pickaxe upgrades or better light source

[hollow zodiac]

Lighting

[short lion]

add some exclusive ore for desert cave

[torn harness]

True but when u reach endgame and then it becomes repetitive idk its high risk high reward

[frank sage]

ores are super useless for money though, and there also rng dependent which just makes things even worse, i think there needs to be less rng involved with ores honestly

[floral quartz]

there's no fix if you won't consider a remake. The caves in oaklands is just like the ones in The Wild West (TWW), bland and boring.

[frank sage]

its fine to have like one uber rare ore still, but theres no viable common source that you can get, like lava wood or mysterious mushrooms

[floral quartz]

i really like the one in Westbound tho

[crisp olive]

rocks on sides/top of cave, possibly rarer ones that only spawn high up

[steep spoke]

☝️☝️👍👍

[hollow zodiac]

Easier way to get magma wood

[mossy raptor]

Entirely dedicated update towards the cave is what we need.

[crystal acorn]

There's not much of an incentive to go into the caves other than one or two rarer ores.

[torn harness]

but then it becomes too op

[simple vigil]

yes

[mossy raptor]

You think that's a good idea? Cool 😎

[torn harness]

They need 1) a way to mass mine ores 2) bump ore prices

[opal iron]

Ore spawn areas and better lighting (and more ores ofc)

[steep spoke]

Yeah, had a similar idea before haha

[torn harness]

one or another

[mossy raptor]

Great minds think alike

[torn harness]

i think about a drilling machine that extracts in mass

and doesnt leave ore behind and u can filter which one u want

[short lion]

a new machine for ore

[exotic fable]

fog way too dark, i think that should be a thing when you're on the deeper levels instead

the road keeps getting blocked by nodes, feels like caves are way too small

[mossy raptor]

Like a planker?

F auto correct

[short lion]

idk

[warped needle]

like what kind of machine? Crystalizer?

[crisp olive]

geodes or something maybe

[mossy raptor]

Some type of thing that increases value in ore

[patent field]

add motion sensor to logic

[warped needle]

BRUH THIS IS CAVE FEEDBACK

[hollow zodiac]

What about a emberbane pickaxe to mine ores faster?

[mossy raptor]

Ngl this could be thrown in with an idea of a mineshaft in the caves

[short lion]

im thinking about a machine that combine 2 ore to be 1

[patent field]

WEll i never get a response in the other forum so

[warped needle]

Why y'all sending suggestion?

[hollow zodiac]

Because the purple pickaxe ngl sucks

[torn harness]

Or a metallurgy that makes alloys!

[warped needle]

it's the best one, and it's good

[mossy raptor]

It's feedback to make it better

[torn harness]

alloys and metallurgy

thats the name

[floral quartz]

i find it strange ppl dont fill out online feedback surveys but they do here

[hollow zodiac]

Yeah it's the current best one but like I only get the actual mushroom thing like one of every three ores

[dark peak]

make a it small chance to make nodes giant like the glitched boulders when the new map first came out

[boreal yarrow]

I feel like the antigravity region in the mushroom cave is a bit random, and for newer players it can come off as a bug rather than a feature. I've had to explain to a couple of my friends that it's intentional. If there's a way to make it less confusing for new players such as a sign somewhere near the cave that hints at this mechanic it would be nice.

[mossy raptor]

Their online feedback surveys for this?

[hollow zodiac]

It's as if it's rare to get the actual effect of the pickaxe

[floral quartz]

no im just comparing

[mossy raptor]

I never had to do those before so idk

[warped needle]

it's not, it's just a few swings

[simple vigil]

too dark 😭😭😭😭

[crimson flame]

Maybe geodes which spawn more deeper in the cave to give better ores and some geodes have different designs correlating to different ores that are in said geodes. This can give ores less randomness compared to trees which have set spawn locations. (geodes will also be harder to break as well)

[floral quartz]

and stop spawning nodes in the middle of the path, it's blocking my truck

[warped needle]

pretty sure this will get closed soon XD

[twin quail]

More open space. Less ore density.

so hard to drive around in there without getting stuck

[crisp olive]

maybe geodes cant be broken by pickaxes and you gotta bring them to your plot and crush them somehow

[small dirge]

More ores spread out more. Currently there are a TON of open spaces that could be housing more ores.

Better lighting. Literally gotta bring 2 or 3 lights per trailer in order the see in order to put the ores you have mined into your trailers.

Maybe some signs attached to the walls giving directions to where the mine leads

Make it where the ores and trailers don't slide down hills so drastically. Right now they act like they are on ice.

Add another entrance or 2 for the magma caves. The magma caves are pretty big so multiple entrances would be nice

[fluid plover]

Better ores so they can actually compete with wood in terms of profit. And plz minimap

[torn harness]

and make an alloy machine

[fluid plover]

Alloy machine also works too

[crimson flame]

yes minimap

[muted peak]

add mine carts

[willow heath]

Make it brighter

[shut vine]

More high value ore

[crimson flame]

this as well

[torn harness]

Add an alloy machine and a vehicle that has better movement, lighting, ore extraction and filtering.

[crimson flame]

on mobile it makes the screen straight black

[eager nebula]

Minimap
decorative rocks on the roof and walls, maybe some can actually be minable
A slightly hard to fight gemstone cave where you could mine crystals would also make it more popular

[haughty zealot]

Make the layout random each server

[torn harness]

adding more valuable ore just takes the attention away from basic ores.Ur idea is nice, but i think we need to make basic ores a good alternative, then do that later.

[ruby thunder]

Better lighting or just light in the caves in general🤣 as the car headlights suck

[floral quartz]

fr, cave map should actually be randomly generated so you cant just memorize it

[willow heath]

epic

[floral quartz]

and then increase incentives so ppl do mining instead of trees

[warped needle]

the game is called Oaklands

[slim mango]

💀

[crimson flame]

lands is the ore part lol

[warped needle]

you dumb or what?

[slim mango]

figure it out

[ruby thunder]

"Hoofer: Caves cannot be completely reworked" this dude (LETS RANDOMISE THE CAAAVES)

[crimson flame]

it was a joke

[slim mango]

i disagree

[warped needle]

it was a stupid one

[floral quartz]

the way i see it, this whole thread is a waste of time. They didnt even do anything for the last thread which asked for feedback on the new map apart from increasing tree spawns?

[slim mango]

bro all the suggestions are ass (no offense to all the suggestionss)

[warped needle]

exactly

[haughty zealot]

I like the idea of floors with rarer ores each floor but that counts a reworking the map they either need rare ores to incentivize going into the caves or procedurally generated layouts to make it interesting

[lunar scarab]

Super dark needs lighting

[haughty zealot]

Better idea

[ruby thunder]

Only good suggestion I've seen here is about the lighting

[warped needle]

the title says "Current Cave Feedback", not "Ores Feedback"

[haughty zealot]

Increase the brightness of headlights or other light sources

[supple elk]

I highly doubt their going to make the cave lights brighter

[lament hare]

You should add like carvings on the walls and like signs and stuff or like a cave map at the entrance of the cave (like if it were an amusement park)

[eager nebula]

Then why even add ores

[grand lark]

The people can just up their contrast, tbh, problem solved

[warped needle]

You dumb or something?

[eager nebula]

I don't really see why they added ores if it's only supposed to be about getting trees

[supple elk]

Personally i think there should be more interesting parts to the caves like more caves that have different biomes or like the magma cave have like a gem cave or something like thay

[warped needle]

No one said it's supposed to be about getting trees

[eager nebula]

You're suggesting it

[grand lark]

It ain't supposed to only be trees, that'd Essentially make it a lt2 replicate

[warped needle]

read what he said

[supple elk]

Having bigger and smaller areas ect. As well as some water

[eager nebula]

I did

[valid remnant]

The whole parkour thing with the trees, it just seems.. a bit annoying. Because first off, you have to spend 1k getting a bomb to blow up the entrance, then you have to do a parkour thing for one path in order to get to the trees, but even then the whole grabby grabber system things, when you try to jump, sometimes the trees run into you and end up dropping the trees into the lava, found that frustrating on many levels. Also, the right path, it does way too much damage on some part. I also noticed that in the acid area, there are floors under the acid, but why not put floors under the lava, so when you drop a tree, you could still be able to retrieve it? It does not make any sense. Like the tree's fall into the void, along with you.

[lament hare]

The name Oaklands come from the description of the main tree of the island...

[warped needle]

oh, so you didn't understand it then

[eager nebula]

Maybe??

[warped needle]

not maybe, you really didn't understand

[eager nebula]

Explain what I'm not seeing

[supple elk]

Can yall take your convo somewhere else

[eager nebula]

probably

[supple elk]

Please so that the devs can actually see feedback

[warped needle]

"ppl do mining instead of trees" if you still don't understand then i pity you

[modern sage]

Boulder

[valid remnant]

Take the conversation somewhere else if you are going to argue about mining and trees.

This is a feedback for the caves.

[charred wind]

lava cave less annoying to navigate

[modern sage]

Ores on wall?

[warped needle]

People are already out of the topic

[loud vale]

ADD BLACKSTONE IN THE NORMAL CAVE ZONE it is an extremely useful building material

[eager nebula]

It'd seem out of place

[warped needle]

why?

[eager nebula]

I don't see blackstone mixing with it well

[valid remnant]

Have any of you noticed that when you drop the trees into the lava, they all fall into the void?

[supple elk]

Maybe think of like a separate less annoying cave area for blackstone

[modern sage]

i guess people complaining about magma caves
If they make it easier they need to REDUCE their price

[valid remnant]

That needs to be fixed.

[warped needle]

you can find lots of it in the lava biome and some just across the bridge

[loud vale]

not really. even if it did a black material is extremely useful and having it being limited to a lava cave is annoying

[eager nebula]

Doesn't blackstone spawn on surface?

[warped needle]

it's a stone with ore

[modern sage]

+it isn't as annoying as without planks

[grand lark]

Past the bridge there is some Blackstone between the bridge and desert, otherwise Blackstone isn't exactly too hard to go get, just tedious

[eager nebula]

Haven't played in a week or two so forgive me

[warped needle]

that's kinda sus

[loud vale]

ik but it's only like 3 rocks

[supple elk]

Im pretty sure that the trees get burnt not go into the void

[loud vale]

on the other island there are hardly any blackstone spawn locations

[warped needle]

Blackstone not mixing well, hmmmm

[loud vale]

i'm trying to build a skyscraper and getting tons of blackstone would take hours just because of the lava cave

[eager nebula]

Color wise

[safe grove]

-ores make it hard to drive through

-tunnels are super confusing

[loud vale]

If they don't add it to a cave add more to the surface or add it in a future area

[warped needle]

@pine thunder maybe add a puzzle for players to solve, just a simple one to activate paths across the parkour stuffs, and it's only activated in a limited time, and that puzzle is in the magma forest so players will still do the obby

[modern sage]

I didn't complain about Blackstone
I just casually mining it at the magma

• i know the entire cave

[warped needle]

same

[modern sage]

Just

[warped needle]

the cave isn't that hard to memorize

[loud vale]

cuz u guys aren't building a giant build 😭

[modern sage]

ORE BLoCADe

[modern sage]

I did mate

[safe grove]

-also magma wood is extremely hard to get because I keep getting lost so it's def not worth it

[modern sage]

Memory issues

[warped needle]

it is worth it, maybe you're just having a hard time to memorize it but what makes it annoying is the obby

[modern sage]

Middle
Then just left

[loud vale]

ok but it sucks having started a build that probably would've taken me weeks already and then removing most of the source of the SINGLE material I need.

[warped needle]

and then middle again because left and right leads to the ores

[modern sage]

The annoying part of the obby is
The grabby somehow pulls and the walls push the eood on to your avatar foot
And then it drop

[safe grove]

skill issues

[modern sage]

Ores on Walls

[spring onyx]

you can make cave thinner

[modern sage]

Cuz literally
Irl u mine rocke from walls in caves

[charred wind]

getting the trees past the obby is the annoying part, its not that its hard its just a huge inconvenience

[warped needle]

you trying to be funny?

[valid remnant]

True.

[valid remnant]

Also.. This is a very good idea

[shell thorn]

stalactites and mites

[warped needle]

we need a puzzle that activates little bridges at the obby

[valid remnant]

different biomes added to the existing caves.

[lunar scarab]

The lighting would be a nice addition but the in game contrast setting might fix

[spring onyx]

it will make it more immersive

[modern sage]

Make the walls on the obby wider
But fill it with lava pool

It will just make fitting more trees easier
But still keep the same obby

[charred wind]

or make the obby wider

[lunar scarab]

Just saying it would look so much better with brighter lighting

[warped needle]

it's already annoying to navigate there because of the number of ores spawning + the torque of the vehicle, vehicles flip easily

[lunar scarab]

But it’s not bad just a tad bit hard to see where your going

[lunar scarab]

Yes forgot about that

[spring onyx]

ok its just a suggestion

[lunar scarab]

Almost happened today when I was going to click the button

Would’ve got off to be honest

[warped needle]

what makes it annoying is the trailers

[lunar scarab]

Yea that to

[warped needle]

once your vehicle turns 90 degrees, the items on your trailer will just fling

[supple elk]

This is about caves, please take conversations to oak gen

[warped needle]

It's relevant to the cave

[lunar scarab]

So here’s what we got so far

1.) Lighting on the trucks
2.) makes it hard to navigate bc the ore spawns + the lighting
3.) the torque of the vehicles can easily make your truck flip

[supple elk]

Not really, he wants FEEDBACK and CRITICISM

[lunar scarab]

Anymore?

[valid remnant]

A suggestion I would make is, make some paths wider perhaps.

[lunar scarab]

Also good suggestion

[valid remnant]

You forgot different biomes, as well as path navigation in the magma caves.

[modern sage]

That's it
Wider

[warped needle]

the feedback is it's hard to navigate in the cave, and the reason is the torque of the vehicle and the number of ores spawning

[lunar scarab]

Oh yeaa bro there’s a lot I’m forgetting

[modern sage]

Isn't redesign not possible

[valid remnant]

Like for example, the right path, deals way too much damage in some parts.

[lunar scarab]

Don’t get me wrong the number of ores is nice if your farming but other than that they are annoying

[valid remnant]

Not redesign, but add on.

[modern sage]

Hm idk ask hoofer

[lunar scarab]

An easy fix would probably to make wider paths

And lighting if possible

[supple elk]

Yea but you also should consider the people are actually trying to put in more feedback/ things to add/remove for caves to be better

[modern sage]

Here

[warped needle]

are they? most i see are irrelevant suggestions

[supple elk]

Im suggesting add-ons like cave biomes

[grand lark]

Get miner lamp, or etc, or if not, it ain't exactly cave related, but a brightness setting in game

[modern sage]

Remake is not possible

[warped needle]

like this one for example

[supple elk]

But thats not really for you to decide, even if it is irrelevant you dont have to be rude

[warped needle]

i am not rude, i am saying facts

[lunar scarab]

1.) make paths wider in caves
2.) make the lighting better if possible would be a great addition
3.) better path navigation in the magma caves would be amazing to

[modern sage]

Isn't that
Just
Eliminate the use and purpose of buying lamps

[warped needle]

you said he wants feedback, why are you giving a suggestion?

it's the navigation actually

[modern sage]

U guys need to think about balancing too

[warped needle]

just make the path wider or revert/reduce the number of ores spawning

the navigation is alright before, idk why the number of ores spawning has to increase

[pine thunder]

@warped needle's suggestion was 100% feedback, suggestions = feedback.

[lunar scarab]

The ore spawns are nice if your farming said Halloween event or just farming in general

But that would help honestly if they just made the paths wider I think it would eliminate both of those problems

[warped needle]

which one? the puzzle thingy?

[modern sage]

Suggestions = feedback

Read that

[livid moth]

• Move ores as it is annoying to drive through the caves
• Make caves darker to make things more challenging to get (This also makes a good use for the mining light and flashlight)
• Overall make some aspects of the cave harder to make things more scary and rewarding

[lunar scarab]

?

[warped needle]

the ores are already challenging and it's already dark, the lanterns doesn't really do much

also the obby is already annoying

[craggy cairn]

make it hard to navigate through the cave and make caves have less ore

[warped needle]

Mostly the reason players go to the cave is to get magma trees

[lunar scarab]

Yea the lanterns are kind of pointless to be fare they don’t work well

[lunar scarab]

Fact

[livid moth]

Ores are pretty easy due to the bridges and other things but I can sorta agree with the darkness already

[warped needle]

Ores are easy to find, the common ones

and there are ores that can only be found in certain stones

[livid moth]

Even magma trees are pretty easy

[lunar scarab]

If your in a private server it’s easier to find things

[warped needle]

the only challenging thing in public servers is the lag

[lunar scarab]

Such as the meteors if your in a private server your getting it

[livid moth]

Yea they need to fix that

[lunar scarab]

Yea that’s why I bought one 😂

Anyway overall we just need

1.) better lighting in caves
2.) make the paths in caves wider
3.) don’t necessarily decrease the ore spawn because us players that collect those ores makes it easier on us but the downside is it makes it harder to navigate through the caves so it’s kind of a two way street both streets effect the other so yea
4.) please make magma cave easier to navigate

That’s all for me I don’t know about anyone else but that’s my list for caves 😁

[warped needle]

for the magma cave, the puzzle thingy will be really helpful

[modern sage]

Heh
Somebody who actually thinks about balancing
Rather than making lighting

But id say

Making the buyable lights better
The cave gets darker the deeper you are
But lighter when ur near an exit or smth

It will encourage players to use lights

Since it gives more light

[valid remnant]

Ya know what, I would suggest adding biomes to the existing structure of the caves.

Because if they'e going to do larger path's, might as well add some biomes

[warped needle]

@pine thunder make the miner's helmet a UGC :>

[molten widget]

not exactly caves but having a minimap map or watch or plate or something and a compass would prove useful for navigating caves (The rake remastered is a good example of this being well-fitted into the game)

[warped needle]

but the map is easy to memorize

[proud cloud]

make it more fun, add little gremlins or mole people to run from, risk/reward yk what im sayin

[warped needle]

add elf goobers

[modern sage]

There won't be any hostile npcs on Oaklands

[proud cloud]

no not hostile

[warped needle]

why do we need to run from them?

[proud cloud]

scary

just need more whimsy

[livid moth]

I know this isn’t exactly the place to say this but they should fr add bigger trucks and different ones that have a certain purpose

[proud cloud]

or silly bucket attachments to build upon that point to allow easier collection of resources into the vehicle, or something else of the same function

[livid moth]

Yea that would be nice

[clear robin]

Make little parts of the cave have player paths witch they have to travel in across or over obstacles but at the end be garenteed myth/adurite mag, ect ore

[modern sage]

No
Too op

• fusion coil exist

[gaunt sable]

A dark path similar to how beach paths look but no ores spawn there

[zinc acorn]

Make it wider

It’s hard to drive through with big things like the Halloween tree meteor thing

[lunar scarab]

I have more now tho

[candid bridge]

so as is the caves are fine but a few ways i would improve is increase the rarity of rare ores the deeper you go more then it is now and add a mining vehicle cuz it gets crowded af

[pseudo kindle]

cant pass ores

[modern sage]

Yep

[feral heart]

make it so that instead of it being viisable only 5 feet infront of u its only visable 1 or 2 feet

[rustic nova]

We need proper caves with special ores rather than just tunnels to other places (excluding magma cave)

Think terraria cave biomes, marble, granite

[limpid sail]

Neon ores.
Neon ores spawn on a new cave and there are different colours

• red
• blue
• green
• purple
• Pink
  The purple ore is the most rare of all and is worth same as magnetite, the rarer the ore is, the more worth it is.
  And if you are reallyyyy lazy you can make it yourself with cristals (another ore from the cave) and copper or an ore of the color you want to make, it will make 7 of the ore you choosed but it will take from 20 to 30 minutes and it's worth 2 times less than the natural ore
  I really hope you add this, my friend godjulian100 really wants this, he is the one who got the idea not me

[lone mural]

When ever I go into the cave I can barely find any darkslate and have to go a bit far to find about 3 full ores

[pastel musk]

add some ore deposits in certain areas, not just in the driving tunnels. Maybe make some ores spawn in the walls of the cavern so you can mine into them

[modern sage]

Wall ore

[pastel musk]

that sums it up pretty well

[turbid oasis]

I’m always hitting rocks and getting truck stuck, or flipping that’s why I suggested makes them spawn on the walls

[lunar scarab]

Huh

[glass hedge]

Have an underground connection between the mainland and the second island, but to get though you need to blow up a wall

[lunar scarab]

That makes the bridges pointless

[glass hedge]

Not really because you need to be underground, and it’s slower

[lunar scarab]

Suggestion: bring back grabby grabber flying 🥺

[sick patio]

the fog is to probably cover up bad design thats what most devs do lol

[wraith jackal]

suggestion: add airship blimps

anyways

[limpid sail]

I really want neon ores

[sterile sphinx]

Adding ore deposits to the walls and ceiling could help with this

Also adding crystals would be super cool!

[wraith jackal]

well technically you have neon ingots (uranium)

[limpid sail]

@wraith jackal yes but we need more colors

[lavish turret]

Caves are kinda annoying, here's some reasons why:

There's places with too many nodes, making us flip our trucks, get the trucks stuck or if we have time, go mine it out of the way;

We also would like to have some secret thing in the cave, as a player, secrets are very fun to find, and also it leads to the community talking to each other about that secret;

Another thing is that the caves have walls that are kinda like ramps, which makes our trucks do a flip;

I think there's a lot more reasons I didn't mention, but unfortunately I forgot them;

Thank you developers for reading this.

[wraith jackal]

agree

personally i’d like the cave to have some find of shop located inside

[orchid moon]

better ores

please give them better ores

[orchid moon]

also this

make the tunnels bigger

[fleet yew]

Make it so wen tree in truck it not fall out 1 in 3 trees fall out wen i drive (sorry for bad englash)

[inner pond]

they feel empty, maybe add something more like small detail in the cave (also the lanterns dont do anything besides being there)

[ashen stirrup]

Make ores spawn only on the edges of the road

[keen smelt]

make it so the lamps actually have use

or when u use the flashlight the effect goes away

[long loom]

Make dedicated areas for certain slates and/or ores instead of them being scattered right on the road

[thorny bolt]

Make the parkour for the magma area bigger, some trees get stuck when traversing back to your vehicle and end up falling down, it would be much appreciated.

[runic thunder]

The plank maker is bugged from time to time (plank won’t come out and keeps phasing in&out of existence)

Add co-op mode to the game

[warped needle]

what?

[candid bridge]

bro has been loading into solo lobbies exclusivly

[warped needle]

XD

[heavy wolf]

Do u know roblox island

It have coop mode

[candid bridge]

dude theres co-op its you opting out of it

[warped needle]

yeah

[wraith jackal]

why not just give the other trust

[warped needle]

yeah just that

[heavy wolf]

I want like that when my friend is offline I can work on the other things

[warped needle]

just give your friend perms and you can coop

[wraith jackal]

well

[candid bridge]

you mean shared slots?

[warped needle]

that's not possible

[wraith jackal]

or nearly impossible

[heavy wolf]

Yes

[warped needle]

it'll increase the chance of theft

[wraith jackal]

true

[candid bridge]

impossible the way the games set up just have them stay afk with a clicker

[heavy wolf]

No

[heavy wolf]

I trust my friend

[wraith jackal]

yippee

[warped needle]

never completely trust anyone

[heavy wolf]

Am mobile issues

[warped needle]

not even yourself, even your own brain lies...

[candid bridge]

i trust people as far as i can trow them and not children so a very small amount of people

[warped needle]

what?

[wraith jackal]

false memories:

[warped needle]

or inaccurate memories

[wraith jackal]

i developed trust issues from the amount of scams on roblox that KIDS do

[heavy wolf]

Bro I know my friend irl

[wraith jackal]

add some kind of life down in the mines

[warped needle]

doesn't really do much

[heavy wolf]

So I can come to his house and yeal at him

[tawny storm]

Add roots that can be chopped

[warped needle]

that's the reality, even the person you though you could trust with your whole life will betray you if he/she will betray you, and you can't change that once it happens

[warped needle]

i actuall have a concept for that

i'll post it in oakspace once i finished it

[heavy wolf]

U all have trust issue ur self

[warped needle]

It's called being aware

and being careful

[heavy wolf]

With ur friend

[warped needle]

i don't have much friends

[inner pond]

this is literally a cave feedback thread

[warped needle]

and i don't even trust them completely

yeah let's go back to the cave stuffs

[heavy wolf]

If u don't trust just leave the plot that smple

Semple

[warped needle]

wth you saying?

[heavy wolf]

About trust issue with ur friend

[versed swallow]

Make them deeper and longer

[warped needle]

i don't have trust issue with just my friend, i just don't trust anyone

and we really shouldn't talk about it further

[heavy wolf]

Bro

[warped needle]

because your feedback wasn't really relevant to the topic

[wraith jackal]

go to dms to continue

[warped needle]

there's no point XD

[wraith jackal]

sure ig

Begging for better lighting in caves

[young scaffold]

Could we get torches that we can light up caves with? I'd imagine you'd have to hold the torch while pressing the lanterns spread across the caves

Also, I'd love if we could get special types of ore deposits where only one type of ore spawns in. You could have different versions spawning depending on the location. Almost like ore veins

[orchid moon]

terraria

[supple elk]

Like mini biomes

[young scaffold]

Any survival game ever:

[white blaze]

Id like if i knew what ores were within rock nodes, like if i mine the ores and process them, there was a tab or something showing that the processed ore came from that rock

Idk maybe im addicted to minus elevation

[lavish turret]

Caves are kinda annoying, here's some reasons why:

didnt you already say this

[white blaze]

Caves good, add 1 more rock and this game is 10/10

[lavish turret]

Idk I forgor

[inner pond]

dementia

[lavish turret]

e

[bronze shuttle]

Brighter lightings

And some signs

[cosmic mulch]

The caves should should have an area where there are is like a drop stone ore and it’s really big. Also there would be a n we tree that grows from the ceiling and is very long. Could be called like moss

[orchid moon]

there's already an upside down "tree"

[cosmic mulch]

Why not add more? It could also grow out the walls

[orchid moon]

ok we don't have a wall tree yet so that could work

i feel like moss should be an ore tree hybrid

forms like an ore but has the properties of a tree

[cosmic mulch]

Sound interesting

[lunar rain]

we need them to be wider, easier to manoeuvre in, especially with trailees, imo

[tawny storm]

Mining hats when!!!!!!!!!

[novel pulsar]

More than just tunnels. Please.

[charred scaffold]

Axes on mobile sucks, it either does or does not chop the tree when tapping once, very annoying when farming mysterious muchrooms

[inner pond]

wheres the coorelation with axes and stones

[charred scaffold]

Dunno I havent mined a stone since 2 weeks ago

[inner pond]

but this thread is about stone

[charred scaffold]

I'm blind

[inner pond]

also i dont see an issue with chopping on mobile

so its either your device having an issue

or you having a skill issue

[charred scaffold]

It outlines the tree when it doesn't

Also how do I get back to the top of this thread on mobile

[orchid moon]

you double tap to chop

[orchid moon]

just scroll

[inner pond]

yeah

[orchid moon]

or search for the thread name

the reason why you can't just tap once to chop is because of misclicks

and honestly i prefer it that way

[inner pond]

yeah

double tapping is already good enough for me to live on

[lavish turret]

Lmao if I play hoofer's basement I get sent to oaklands

Oop wrong chat

[velvet yacht]

1. Why I need go to cave if there's no anything special inside it (Mike's mines). Only reason for me to go inside is sweetstone.
2. Uncertainty cave have way too many mushrooms on ground, making it impossible to drive.
3. Magma cave have obby that I can't complete due to very low FPS. BUT THERE'S COMES FACT THAT THERE'S UNFINISHED CAR PATH TO ORE PLACE!!!
4. Every cave is 2D.

[loud vale]

More blackstone in regular cave

[vale cedar]

make special zones for all stone types

[vale cedar]

like 1 for darkslate, 1 for lightslate and 1 for beigslate

[willow pilot]

Magma Cave is horrible, nearly impossible to drive through with a car

Mushroom cave is horrible, too large to even get an mysterious mushrooms

Mike's Mines are just too empty

[languid stag]

More light

Bigger cave ores on the side so there will be an easy way to drive

[desert jacinth]

Mike's Mines

1

· Caves are too dark, and although it is fine for me, there are many people who are unable to see the resources and orient themselves correctly, therefore it would be good to put little light source in some areas of the caves.

2

· Add more entrances to the lava cave, or add other smaller lava caves with better access but fewer resources.
· Make lava pools have ground under them, like acidlands do.

3

· Clear the ground a little so that vehicles can pass correctly. And instead, create stalactites that hang from the ceiling (something similar to the acidlands grimestone, but upside down)

Uncertainity Cave

**1 **

· Clean the mushrooms that come out of the ground a little to make easy the pass of vehicles, and instead make them grow from some walls.

2

· Add some sign indicating "danger with mushrooms" or something similar at the entrance.

3

· Make the cave darker (to minimize how far you can see) when u get hit by mushroom spores. This would make it more fun and "confusing" I think.

Caves In general

· This is more likely for a rework of the cave system, but it would be very cool if the caves changed and were different on each server. By this I mean making a system of "randomized" tunnels or something similar that, once the server and the world are created, cave tunnels are created randomly, and therefore makes it "unique". Thus the cave paths cannot be memorized to use them always.

· Another thing to add, if this is possible, is to randomize the position of the shops and important areas in the caves (or it could also not do so and the only thing that is randomly generated are the tunnels).

[inner pond]

i thought of randomized caves but they seemed too much of a pain to do

[desert jacinth]

maybe other option is to add more tunnels and generate random walls that close some of these tunnels.

even walls that can be broken with bombs

[inner pond]

randomized caves as a whole is already a great idea

[desert jacinth]

ye it is, but as u said, it would be a hell to code

but would be great to have that in-game cause I love to explore the world

[inner pond]

relatable

[rugged barn]

Instead of regular linear caves, make multiple chambers connected by the cave system. Chambers are spacious rooms in a cave. Each stone node can have its own chamber, For example in one chambers its only blackslate, other has mix of chalkslate and smokeslate. This will make ores finding less frustrating and RNG. (Also please make more marble nodes! Sometimes it feels like there's literally around 8 nodes on the map, I never have enough quartz for my build). Hallways between chambers should not have any ores in it, because this removes the problem with ore nodes blocking the way or making your vehicle flip over when you just try to go through.
Ore nodes in caves should be more often, and much bigger, so there will actually be a purpose for players to go in the cave for mining, instead of collecting ore from surface. Also, bigger ores means they are harder to break, sometimes it takes very long if you don't have spore pickaxe, so buff pickaxes.
Make cave system actually big, so it stretches to the desert biome and connects to the upcoming river cave. Some tunnels should be really dark, so the player has to light their own way with car lights or bring extra mining lamps. Instead of boring mineshaft cave entrances, add more interesting terrain features, for example entrance at the end of a crevis, or a huge one-way sinkhole witn a cave entrance at the bottom where you have to drop down in your vehicle.

[runic thunder]

Well, there’s a section in the uncertainty cave where you can’t “swim” after getting hit by the projectile, after descending on a slope. Not sure if this is brought up by someone alr or not

[long loom]

This.

[sullen ether]

I believe they said a rework isn't possible, so I believe most if not alot of this isn't possible

[calm flame]

This. (Plus better lighting)

[sullen ether]

But I agree

[mint sun]

Clear signs around the caves so we know where to go without a map, also decrease the darkness (the lanterns are useless), and disable lantern collisions

[wraith jackal]

i think vehicle attachments could alleviate this

[crisp surge]

cave randomized dungeon; enter through a portal and leave with your truck full of stolen goods

5 minutes before the portal closes and you and your truck and the loot is eaten

(the portal randomly spawns at time intervals at random points in the cave like meteors)

[gloomy aurora]

best suggestion

listen to this man

[young scaffold]

We don't really have caves atm, it feels more like tunnels lol

At least for M'sM

[lean hull]

Yeah fr

It's tunnels, which tbh I kinda like for in mikes mine

But we need like actual caves and stuff aswell

[wraith jackal]

tru

[young scaffold]

Yeah, but it should branch out to bigger caves, or chambers like artz said

[wraith jackal]

wouldnt that be kinda time consuming and basically a cave rework

[lean hull]

Fr

[young scaffold]

That's what we need though

[wraith jackal]

✅

[rugged barn]

It kinds sucks that hoofer said that "rework of caves is not possible". Then what's the point of this feedback post? There's nothing much you can change about current cave system unless fully remake it. Also why is it not possible? Something in has to do with coding or the developers just don't want to change cave layout?

[gloomy aurora]

^

[wheat folio]

Reworking caves is certainly possible, I hope they take the feedback and make something great out of it

this was a concept i had, Red box means potential cave area, Pink box means exit and the unfilled rectangle is mikes mines current size (which in retrospect is a bit too big)

[young scaffold]

I think this post is meant for feedback on what they can improve on

So, they're interested in what's bad with the caves along with what's good

[wheat folio]

Theyve gotten the feedback and i think literally everyone wants a cave rework

the "caves" are just linear tunnels with a few turns and intersections

it doesnt really give the cave feeling imo

[safe grove]

agreed

[steep iron]

also the caves have uneeded entrances that allow you to enter the cave Like emberbane Moai and the weird offspring from the tunnel to lighthouse

[wheat folio]

@pine thunder would an expansion be possible? not a rework

Since then you could make more open areas where it feels like your deep under ground in some massive cave

[pine thunder]

yes

[safe grove]

[young scaffold]

Yeah, nothing needs to be taken away. Expanding the caves is a good idea

[steep iron]

Ngl it would be Great if the caves actualy Felt like caves with maybe some mossy and maybe even water make it larger and more open Make it darker and add ambience when inside of it (could also be a new section Eg like magma trees have their own section)

[safe grove]

it would be great if the caves were dark, but i could still see

like a different kind of darkness somehow

[wheat folio]

okay might be a stretch but would this size be possible?

with more open caves with like diffrent biomes

[steep iron]

make the localized way something thats good way to see but the further it gets the darker it gets and small lights would lead possible ways

[wheat folio]

like if u enter the acid it turns into a diffrent kind of cave

[pine thunder]

so let me understand this correctly

your issue is the caves are more like tunnels

but to fix it, you want very long tunnels that connect to open areas

[wheat folio]

Hmm good point

but you said expansion

[inner pond]

you can keep them the same, maybe more life to STONE would be cool

[steep iron]

Ngl i feel like you mean everything is basicaly just giant rocks with no actual detail

[wheat folio]

Yes and no, i would love for there to be a mikes mines rework but as you said that isnt possible. Which is why a expansion as you said would, it would feel weird if the original part was tunnely and the expanded was just some open caves and such, idk if u get my point

[inner pond]

yeah

[steep iron]

dynamite needs new usecases aswell Large bomb and the dynamite sticks from the pirate boat and such are more than often not used

maybe like Nodes that you can find that you have to blow up that have the chance for smth like crystals in them Idk

[wheat folio]

okay what about a open cave expansion? where it would be more like this. (this is massivly scaled and ofc doesnt need to be as big but it would make modeling easier right?

[lone mural]

does anyone know what roblox matariel beigeslate is

[inner pond]

stone or slate i believe

[lone mural]

does it look like this

[inner pond]

yeah just make the brown more like brown and it should be beigeslate?

[mint sun]

Possibly, don't know until it releases

[valid crater]

more ores

[lone mural]

does anyone know how big plots are

starter

[inner pond]

i believe 35-50 studs

[wanton swift]

Caves need to be more rewarding as mining on the surface is way too often better then navigating the caves for the same ore

[celest saddle]

New kind of rock. Only breakable by bombs. But inside could be diamonds, emeralds, rubies etc.. you could have a cutting and polishing machine at your base. Some rocks might be empty, it's a gamble...

[vapid root]

ooooo good idea

kinda like the sandbed from rc

[wheat folio]

[copper skiff]

could the rocks spawn more up against the walls rather than in the road? at least in the main tunnels.

[austere holly]

In my opinion, it would be nice to have more uses for the bombs, for example in certain walls of the mine being able to explode, having behind a chamber with rarer and more valuable ores, for example diamond, sapphire, ruby, emerald. Furthermore, I have the idea of an item forging system where players will be able to create their own axes, and have these gems, it would be a way to increase the status of certain axes, players could sell their axes to other players, I'll make a very detailed post about this later on.

[umbral plank]

Ores should be on the walls so you have to use ladder 🪜

[crisp current]

Mikes mines need better lighting and an actual reason to go in them besides to activate the podiums and to go to the lava cave. Perhaps an exclusive ore or stone type? Or maybe even have them spawn only in a certain area within them, which would give more reason to explore them. I also think that the lava caves need more rock spawns in them and also better lighting in the rock spawn locations. I currently have to play this game with my brightness on max and the irl lights on low just so I can see in caves or at night and that’s a little unreasonable if you ask me.

[crisp current]

THIS. THIS IS A BANGER IDEA.

[turbid oasis]

Indeed

[candid bridge]

the lava area does have exclusive ores and stones tho....

[modern sage]

Wall ore
People who aprooved and suggested:
5

[warm barn]

i think caves would be cooler if they had 1. Minecart 2. Sticky bomb and if they were something like the ones from the old leaks also if rocks spawned on the walls and roof instead of the floor

[wheat folio]

minecarts to get to 1 cave to another :O

[warm barn]

also to ride down steep parts of a cave

[wheat folio]

real

make places that arent acsessable by car

[young scaffold]

could be cool tbh

tho, how do you collect stuff without your car

[wheat folio]

with the cart

stuff would anchor to the cart when you sit in it

[young scaffold]

you can't fit much though

[candid bridge]

be cool if we had to buy minecarts and one with an engine to get lava wood

[wheat folio]

thats the point

[candid bridge]

or like a super deep cave for ores

[young scaffold]

why would anyone use it then

[wheat folio]

you wont be able to fit as much due to the ores being more valueble

[young scaffold]

I mean, that could work

but the ores would have to be super good

[wheat folio]

rarer ores in places that arent acsessable by car

Or just have a complete new thing to get

like gems or crystalls

[candid bridge]

make it super deep and it be like carbon diamonds ruby's ext

[twin quail]

This may just be a nitpick thing but I think the fog in the caves is way too strong and I can’t tell where the paths are until I’m like right up to them

[inner pond]

you cant even see anything in caves if theres no lighting

[crisp current]

I was talking about mikes mines, not the lava cave. I was trying to suggest more reasons to explore the other parts of that cave system besides the lava cave

[turbid oasis]

I wish the magma cave would be more like lumber, go up the volcano to get the wood and throw it down, it would be easier

[pallid grove]

add more ores (example: diamonds, lapis, redstone) and many other

[warped needle]

why?

if you want volcano play lumber tycoon 2, this is oaklands

[turbid oasis]

Ik that ok

[crisp surge]

GEODES!!!

[calm flame]

GEODES YEAHH

[crisp current]

Oh yes, that was so much better. Getting magma wood in this game just isn’t worth it. It’s too difficult and you can’t fill a ton of trailers because then you can’t make it out of the cave

[calm flame]

Give us graphite!! Appears as diamond in lavaslate but otherwise is normal

[turbid oasis]

It’s just so time consuming

[limpid sail]

Add neon ores

[junior frigate]

Elevator would be cool if u could activate it somehow with logic

[sly sky]

Ores on walls

[warped needle]

you can, using interactor

[copper skiff]

yes please

sticky bombs would be very useful because regular bombs tend to roll away

[daring carbon]

more depth to the detail and more stores in the caves

[hybrid kite]

1. Some kind of lightable lamps on the walls that only stay lit for a limited amount of time, maybe 15 minutes or so. Maybe you use the lantern or another new tool and walk up to them and they light. I hate how dark the caves are and have to play on max brightness.

2. Agree that ores should be more towards the sides and on the walls so the cave is actually traversable

3. More rooms deeper down with higher probability of rare ores

4. Need many more rare ores such as diamond, emerald, amethyst, red stone, etc.

5. New store and/or some kind of big lit up area to reach deep down in caves maybe with npc that has a quest

[fossil vault]

I get lost in those pitch black caves a lot. But to be fair, sometimes I accidentally end up exactly where I intended and that makes me think I have it figured out finally. That theory falls apart quickly as I get lost on the way back and lose an entire load getting stuck on ores and rolling the truck. Some better lighting would help a lot, or a better truck suspension. I mean, obviously it’s not a skills issue, right?

[hybrid kite]

No I agree, I’ve lost multiple loads while lost in the pitch black with too many ores in the path to safely drive past and can’t find my way out also. Can’t take trailers down there and make it back out safely loaded with ores or wood

[fossil vault]

I think there’s an elephant in the room, and either nobody sees it, or more likely, we just aren’t talking about it. I think the caves themselves are fine, well other than some needed tweaks in lighting. The issue getting players into the caves isn’t the caves, it’s what in them. Ores. I prefer mining ores to chopping wood. Much much prefer it. But let’s be honest here, the only thing worth anyone’s time in those caves is lava wood. The mining ores game is broken, nonexistent. There is nothing on the mining side that comes even remotely close to lava wood or mushrooms. Sure, a couple times a week you might find a piece of magnetite, or more rarely you can work through hundreds of black and lava stones and find maybe a piece of obsidian if you’re lucky.. and if you really despise yourself and your time you could go search a few weeks for a piece of bluesteel on the far side of the bridge. The acid mines aren’t any better. Lots and lots of nothing with an occasional piece of value. Or.. go grab four pieces of lava wood and earn over twice as much as an entire truckload of finished ore in a whisper of time comparatively

I still mine ores despite knowing all this. But I just mine ores to relax.. anyone serious about turning time to profit end up at lava wood or shrooms. Fix the ore valuation issue, and folks will go into those mines, and if folks are actually mining ores in there instead of avoiding them like they’re the plague, we might be able to drive in there too.

[hybrid kite]

i think you summed it up good, i enjoy the act of mining but its nowhere near worth our time, even after doubling ore value in the recent update I don't think it even begun to make it worthwhile enough to get a single person to decide to start mining more. Dont wanna go in the caves even for the purpose of getting lava wood, its so dark and you cant drive through the cave with trailers then the hassle obby, its to much of a burden to get lava wood. Not much reason to go into the caves until they add many more rare ores and maybe double the price of ores again and add some lights to see. Its pretty discouraging to look at every pile of rocks you see filled with copper and some tin on the outside and it makes me not wanna touch them with a 10 foot pole

[calm flame]

There is literally an element called neon that wouldn’t make much sense

[limpid sail]

Oh

[vestal tulip]

Different depth levels offer different types of ores instead of all areas spawning the same ores

[sullen ether]

No, play minecraft

[mild wadi]

The biggest problem with caves is that there's no benefit to mining in the dark cave compared to just going for marble above ground.
Not to mention that marble often times has better ore spawns and larger ores.

[teal lily]

agreed, the current state of the caves (and as many others have said the difficulty traversing them) certainly makes just going for mushrooms or cacti more viable (at least for me..)

[mild wadi]

Aside from the ore values being no different above/below ground in most cases, the second biggest problem is that mining is just not half as profitable or consistent as gathering trees

You'd have to get unreasonably lucky to get 100k from ores in the same time you can get 100k from trees super consistently.

[frigid grail]

Better lighting

[brittle tree]

moer space

[vestal tulip]

Monster will show up if you don't use Ur car light or your flashlight
Also can use anything that emit light like fusion coil grabby grabber magnetite
Ye the monster spawns in 1 min

[calm flame]

This ain't Minecraft

[vestal tulip]

Ok

[candid bridge]

I keep seeing people ask for better lighting but you know there's literally an item called a minings light and an item you can buy for your robloxian that provides light made for this game? And using a bit of an exploit you can attach the mining light/s to your car?

The only issue I have is sometimes the paths get blocked so you have to mine through tho at the moment unless your looking for building mats it's really not worth going deep for ores

[calm flame]

We're too lazy too + its probably a legal requirement

[candid bridge]

Just buy 4 mining lights set them in a dimon pattern and spawn a car into them attaches them to your vehicle and they can be turned on And off ez and cheap @calm flame

[azure cedar]

Make brighter maybe???

[candid bridge]

Bout to make a cobe style meme showing all the lamps in the game to send to everyone who says make a deep underground cave brighter

[supple elk]

The ugc they have also admits light in oaklands

[candid bridge]

@supple elk

[supple elk]

Huh?

[candid bridge]

I already talked about it and different ways to get plenty of light this the message I linked

[supple elk]

Yea i was just adding onto it

[hallow thicket]

There needs to be more light

And on mobile you cant even see anything

😔👍

[candid bridge]

ya got flashlights lamps mining lamps the lamp ugc turning up brightness headlights

[hallow thicket]

They just need to put more lights or even spotlights that we cant obtain but is in the caves

🗣️

[candid bridge]

you can attach mineing lamps to your car btw

[floral quartz]

you can get better lighting if graphics is set to 1

[sullen ether]

Not viable on every platform

[rugged barn]

Why are people complaining about lighting, it's not even that dark
You can make it a brighter by going in the settings (the one in oaklands menu, not roblox settings) and change shadow quality from high to low

[mortal steeple]

I think caves need more unique ores possibly, that are only in caves, i never think to look for cool rare materials in caves, instead just on the surface, there needs to be more of a reason to mine inside caves

[safe grove]

its extremely dark for me. people have different monitors dude

[rugged barn]

Doesn't seem like a problem within game. If you think it's hardware related, there are a couple of ways to change the brightness on your screen.

[safe grove]

my screen is perfect for everything except oaklands caves. lots of other people have this problem too.

[candid bridge]

Sounds like skill diff

[teal lily]

would be nice if for the lava cave random parts don't damage you when you're nowhere near the lava

[lunar scarab]

I mean it is realistic

[teal lily]

if we're going for realism then why not also disallow me to carry an entire acacia tree uncut with the rusty putter by sitting it on my head in the drivers seat

[lunar scarab]

Would you rather it stay there or fly away?

[haughty cargo]

@lunar scarab You have reached 1000 activiy points and have unlocked a new role!

[teal lily]

fly away

[lunar scarab]

That’s a QOL thing 😂

[teal lily]

point is, if im 15 studs away it shouldnt bite me

[lunar scarab]

True but if you walked anywhere near molten lava/magma you would get 2nd or 3rd degree burns

I mean it’s realistic and it’s not but idk

Just an opinion

[cosmic mulch]

Add Minecraft.

[hallow thicket]

Minecraft cave sounds

But new creepy sounds

💀

[runic thunder]

Random creeper fuse sounds

[shy fog]

[sullen ether]

I'm super late to this but No, it's not viable for console players. I play on ps5 and even on the lowest graphics I can't sew further then 3 meters

[tender slate]

ores on walls and ceilings

[candid bridge]

How are you supposed to mine them on the ceiling buddy telepathy

[shy fog]

Fly like superman duh 🙄

[candid bridge]

That would be cheating so mod ban this guy?

[shy fog]

💀

R/whoooosh

[shy fog]

[boreal yarrow]

I know that it's not really dangerous to get stone from the magma cave but I wish I could go mining there for a profit. It doesn't make sense to me that the best way to get money from caves are the trees that grow there. There aren't enough ores, and the ores I do get don't seem worth anything for the most part, for example my gold bars only sell for ~$40 more than my forged lava slate

[velvet yacht]

They added car way to all magma cave's ores, BUT the problem is that there's no entrance to that way. Only gravity coil one.

[boreal yarrow]

I know, but it makes no sense to me that the main reason to go to the magma cave is for trees, maybe a good solution could be something similar to fungoidite that only spawns near the trees? I don't know, but it just doesn't feel right to me that mining here is pretty much worthless compared to the trees in terms of profit

[tender slate]

ladders?

[sterile sphinx]

Honestly rn I believe there's just a lack of ores in the game in general along with trees but I'm sure they will sort it out in the future

[runic thunder]

(Re above) Tbh I kind of want the game to introduce more ores/industrialised mines, so it can become less boring

[hallow badge]

Make a large very deep hole in the floor of the cave

When people fall in die

[hallow badge]

too much stuff
