The Deepworld Daily

Embarrassing Deepworld moments (part one)

We’ve all made a fool of ourselves at some stage, even if its just making a hilarious typo. It doesn’t make you a ‘noob’, but it certainly makes you feel like one. I feel as though I make more of a fool of myself than the average person. Take the top photo, for instance. I placed down an onyx mass teleporter to test it out, without realizing I’d not be able to relocate it to a different position. Incidentally, Hoenn now has an onyx mass teleporter.

Here’s a few more from me:

I never claimed to be a ‘pro’ player. But once you reach a certain level and own some onyx equipment, people make the assumption for you. To be honest, I was playing like the apocalypse survivors we were supposed to be: I’d dig my way around public worlds and plunder goods to level my way up. It wasn’t until I bought a world of my own, much later, that I had to learn some basic techniques. Once there was a world competition that required you to build a factory centered around a theme. To do this, you had to claim a protector. This was all fine, but I didn’t understand just how big the playing area was. So I made a teeny-tiny dungeon. After the competition I discussed this with a friend. He reached over, pressed the ‘,’ key, and voila! There was my protector range. Ouch.

Then there were the times I had to race to facebook to beg my dear friend Everywhen for help with engineering (target teleporter setups, door switches, and the like). Once another friend rigged up a beautiful reset circuit for a tricky warehouse I was trying to build. To this day, I haven’t had the courage to ask how he did it. 

And now from the genius engineer Everywhen (just to prove even the seasoned players had some rough beginnings):

I’d drastically over-estimate or under-estimate an item’s price. It doesn’t help that Deepworld economy is a rather uncertain fare. I could tell from one of two ways: The person would be eager to sell, or would laugh in my face and jetpack off to a worthier buyer. I tend to overestimate these days – let them think I’m generous.

To this day the one thing that bites me when I think about it was when I traded a mega protector... for a plaque. Yeah...

A Diamond to the first person who can tell me where this is!

Which biome should I buy?

This comes up every once in a while on forums. While some parts of the answer never change, recent updates have added more goodies to worlds.

All worlds: All worlds contain the possibility of a paint bunker, head bunkers, crystals, miner fossils, shell fossils, trilobite fossils, and onyx. The presence and quantity of these things vary. 

Note: World exclusives may or may not be present in your purchase

Temperate: This is a good world for beginners with low survival. That’s not to say that you can’t get another world, but you’ll have to take precautions (or explore in slow stages). This world’s exclusives are fish fossils. Apart from Arctic worlds, it’s also the main world for finding anbaric mushrooms.This world also boasts trees on the surface, which make the lumberjack achievement easy. Weather danger: Acid rain

Arctic: This world’s main danger is freezing. You can prevent that by building fires and tapping them, or by upgrading your survival. Arctic worlds may contain many exclusive rares, including elder arctic mushrooms, diamonds, ice sculptures, mammoth fossils, and the Jackalope head. You can also find plenty of ice and snow here.

Desert: This world’s danger is in getting thirsty. For players with low survival, this means stocking up on jars full of water (simply craft empty jars, find a source of water, and place the jars in the water. Then mine them again). This world offers sand and beryllium ore (good for engineering).

Hell: Hell is interesting in the way that theoretically, low level players can mind continuously. But you’ll want loads of jerky. Hell has layers of bedrock that require bombs to blast through it. Hell also has infernal protectors over red chests. Don’t try to get to the chest, there’s a better way. Find all the machine parts and click on the expiator. Then dig a path to the surface, create ghosts by mining bloodstone ore or undertaking, and lead them to the expiator and click on the machine to deliver them. You’ll need around a dozen ghosts. This breaks the protectors and leaves the chests free for the taking. Other hell exclusives are bloodstone ore, elder infernal mushrooms, the old one fossils, fire salt, and large red crystals. Weather danger: Fire rain

Deep: You’ll need a high level mining skill to get to every nook and cranny here. Also avoid the maws spewing gas (purify these by collecting machine parts and clicking on the world machine). World exclusives here are orange crystals, large red crystals, large purple crystals, devil cigar mushrooms, elder apostate mushrooms, and shade mushrooms. Gather these mushrooms with care and distance so they don’t explode in your face.

Brain: A relatively new world type, the biggest danger here is brain mobs. You can stop these by linking up an inhibitor to an evoker using a collector on a steam pipe and plenty of brass pipe. World exclusives here are large red crystals, hunter heads, and brain tanks. These tanks can be mined and used as great decorations.

So maybe I’ve confused you with all this talk. In the end, items from any of these worlds can be bought from other players, or you could mine them in public worlds. So when you buy a world, think of the long term plan - do you want to build a creation in an arctic biome or a desert one? With enough resources, you might be able to transform one world type into another anyway - see Frosted Dunes for an example of an arctic world remodeled into a desert one.

Ahahahaha, I’ve confused you again, probably. If you’re really after a private set of resources, then I hope this post can help you out.

Well, hello there! This is ChatotTheParrot. As of five minutes ago, I became Everywhen’s helper in getting Deepworld content on the world wide web. Looking forward to working with ya’ll.

So for my first post, I decided to focus on the newest update. Fossils. We love them, but the same questions keep coming up over and over. Here is the latest gossip:

To mine fossils, you use a spade. Nothing else works. Also, the higher your agility level (and quality of spade!), the greater your chance to recover a fossil.

Now some people have been claiming of finding fossil they really can’t be (unless hax). Here’s the released fossils and where to find them:

Fish fossil: In temperate worlds

Shell fossil: In all worlds

Trilobite fossil: In all worlds

Miner fossil: In all worlds

Mammoth: In arctic worlds

Old one fossil: In hell worlds (yes, despite being released first in a desert biome)

Please note that T-rex and Pterodactyl fossils have not been officially released at the time of this post.

The release of a new more powerful teleport has come, and it’s a massive upgrade. The specs, varying by material, are 

brass: /tp to players or landmarks 

diamond: listed above, plus allowance to teleport into protected areas and the ability to destroy natural teleporters (unknown whether those teleporters are salvaged or just gone) 

onyx: listed above, and the power to /summon players to you. how cool is that.

 Accompanying the Mass Teleporters, the unveiling of a new order; the Order of the Moon. To obtain the ranks of the new and prestigious order, you need to spend money, which chances are you already have, like me.

1. World Machines - Mass target teleporters are now available from the crowns stores.

2. Market Converters are now available - Convert your world into a market!

...I suppose you'll know whether I succeeded or not if, having just turned the final page, you feel like trying out an MMO right now."
