Ok, so I'm fairly new, just got the key a week ago. Didn't really know what to do, so I set up camp near Boston and levelled up some basic skills, meaning to go further to set up a permanent claim later. Got a shock this morning when I found my leanto was gone, I'm assuming it was just decay because it wasn't on a claim. (Does being on a claim slow down decay?)
Anyway, so I walked South a LONG way and got the message about arriving in the wilderness. Which was what I was aiming for. I wanted to set up somewhere just outside that. But after I went North again, there was no indication I'd left the wilderness, and going South didn't indicate that I was back in it again.
You can see personal claims and town claims. Is there any way to reliably tell where the darkness is?
I have set up a claim now, I think I'm quite a bit North of that now, lol, I got very frustrated looking for the 'perfect' spot. But I'd still like to know what the go is with the darkness. And yes, I know it's darker. But it seems to get gradually darker.
