Finding my personal claim and exploring?!?

Postby Darksshades » Fri Nov 16, 2012 1:27 am

Hey,

I'was wondering how do you find your personal claim.... If I leave my personal claim and explore, the only way to come back that I know is back-tracking my way of teleporting with no-itens.

So if I want to keep the itens I got from exploring.... how to I get back?? (Assuming I get lost and don't know the way back)

There's no arrow pointing to my claim and teleporting while lifting doesn't seem to work either.

If you use Enders custom client, it has a mapping feature. Check here to download and use the map tool:
(Also Ender client saves the minimap per play session)

Yea, I have my map merged, just making sure there wasnt another way o/...

Cause exploring without a teleport back kinda of limits how far you can go explore for Items, as the jorney back will be just as long <o>

Once you know the lay of the land you turn back when your inventory is half full and travel just outside your original path so spawns are still fresh. You arrive back and pick up the last inventory slot worth of stuff within a minimap of home base.

Just takes some practice.
It's been neat to see the evolution of a game. Salem has come so far, and still has far to go. Although frustrating, I think it's been an experience worth the effort.

Uhmmmmm..... I think I get it. But that limits how far you can go to explore for itens.

If a certain Biome doesn't exists near you It'll take extremely long to get items from it and back <o>.

I see õ.õ.... but there aren't transportation methods yet right?

Like Waggons or something to move faster OR transport more things.... So that the explore trips yields more.

Atm there is a sled that can hold 4 storage containers but it is kinda slow.
