Afternoon all,
I've been out looking for a spot to build a claim; I've got a few skills and humours up and I've moved away from where the guides dropped me and headed out past the edge of the old world map (someone told me they'd expanded the game area so i boldly went... that way!).
Having read up on a few things on the wiki/forums/youtube I've been trying to find a spot with good mix of local biomes and resources but I'm not finding anything remotely like a lime quarry... is it possible to get lime without a quarry nearby when you pick a spot? or are there activities that don't require lime? (tanning and smelting appear to be out, what else am i limiting with no lime supply?). Also can you get by without having access to all the biomes? for example not being anywhere near a coniferous forest or a swamp...?
Lastly, I got a popup the first time I wandered into the darkness, but it doesn't really explain where the darkness is placed, or give any sign when you're in it once that popup is dismissed (other than your humours start dropping which is concealed when using a movement mode like wander, had a couple of close calls there!!). It doesn't appear to be a square/circle around the world... so is it a radius from a settlement or something? also is there a setting hidden somewhere (I'm using the ender client) which warns of being in the darkness?
