Celestis Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I just came back to have a look at what's changed and the first thing I notice is that I can no-longer see the rocks that have spawned on my territory! Every time I come back I find something else that you've made worse for being able to play the game. Please put the bright colours back on the rocks so that we can see them to harvest them.

Yoarii Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Equip your harvest tool and they will light up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazemonger Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Yeah, these rocks not showing as skittles all over the place unless you equip the tool you need for them is IMO one of the better changes in Athena, sad as the implication of that is for the update itself.

apollo0510 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 The only problem now is : Flying with a magic carpet to search all those piles of rock is impossible (inconvenient). Because when you activate the harvest tool to see the rocks, one can no more control the speed of the carpet with the mouse wheel. Already reported as bug. But maybe that will simply not be necessary anymore in the future, because it looks like the rocks are spawning now right under your feet when calibrating...

GraXXoR Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 One of the best minor changes in the patch IYAM. Thankfully they only appear in surface harvesting mode. I hated those nasty Bertie’s All Coloured Beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated those nasty Bertie’s All Coloured Beans. Yeah. I agree with this. Were people actually flying a construct to surface mine? You can run at 60kph. How much faster do you need to go? And could you really see anything useful at that speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CptLoRes Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I have no scientific proof, but last few times I played I got the feeling that the surface jet speed (L5) had been nerfed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Jones Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I haven't tested running speed since early in beta, but at that time, I got stuck 30km from base and it took almost exactly 30min to get back. So pretty close to 60kph at minimal talents. CptLoRes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I tested one of the small autominers on Sanctuary last weekend, it just spawned right below the miner. So very little reason, unless you're backpack mining and need to go back to your storage... But being able to fly at 1050km/h is very nice! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo0510 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 When flying with a carpet to collect ore, it's not because of speed. It's because of much better terrain overview. Have an ecu on your carpet, and whenever you see something, just jump off the carpet directly onto the pile of ore. carpet will land safely meanwhile somewhere in front of you.
