Cave monster

[Kaleb]

Traveling the lands, my toon noticed a lone cave. This cave was not claimed so I figured this an easy base to start.

After placing a few structures, walls and claim, I noticed that every time I enter my cave my biles start to drop. I am not in the darkness. Is this normal?
I even made sure that no proficiencies were being learned.

i am unaware of any currently implemented caves
Are you sure you don't mean a mine entrance?



as to why being in a mine would drain your biles: no idea. I haven't actually tested whether you can put up a claim in a mine

edit: tested it, no you cannot build claims in a mine.

the second time I ever entered a mine I got that message telling me I'm entering the darkness.
I didn't knew anything about darkness back then so I didn't watch my biles.

maybe there are mines containing darkness, maybe it's just a bug. who knows.

[Kandarim]

As far as I am aware, mines will have the same degree of darkness inside as the area their entrance is in. I haven't seen proof of the contrary, myself.

Maybe mines, which used to be in the darkness pre-patch, but are now outside of darkness, maintained their darkness level inside?

[Kaleb]

Yes, sorry I meant a mine. As to the claim, It is topside outside the mine.

While exploring previously (to close to other claims) I also noticed a warning about the darkness. I thought maybe I had accidentally hit the help button since I was no where near the darkness. Left that one.

This new one definitely drains me. I used 'CTL D' to make sure I wasn't in the darkness somehow while in the cave and not above ground. The first time I was getting ready to Glutton, lost my forks, and noticed the drain...

[Kandarim]

Are all biles drained at once, at the same speed? Does it only drain some biles, or are some biles more drained than others?

Right now, I do not know about a mechanic that can do as you describe, i'm afraid

[Procne]

Ok, how do you know then you are not in darkness?

[Kaleb]

Sorry, I thought this might have been something I didn't know of due to my noobness. I will get specifics on tonight's gaming session. but only I noticed the phlegm drain since I was going to glutton.

how do I know I am not in the darkness? because there is no drain while hunting around my claim.

Are you sure you don't have some maneuver on? Like wander or forage?
