So, these blasted settlement buildings.....

[Misery]

......still seem impossible to find.

At least, the ones that MATTER. 

It's that accursed Aqua-whatsit building AGAIN.    I'm really starting to think that the bloody wind shelter scrolls need to only require level TWO aqua-whatsit to use, because this one godforsaken building causes this problem.

The game tends to randomly hand me a couple of the level 3 buildings, and then just STOP.

The problem..... is that the aqua one is the ONLY one that's of any concievable use at this point in a continent.  And not just of use, but ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.


At the moment, in my current game, I literally cant do ANYTHING.  Not one mission (and there's like 15 of them!) is offering ANY building, let alone the bloody Aqua thing.   I'm at the point where I NEED to use a shelter to advance, but again, stuck because of that one profession.   ......really starting to hate that profession.


now, I've had the thought of doing secret missions....... but it takes way too much effort to find them (to where I'd actually start to find it grindy), and the game is utterly obsessed with giving me the nightmarish Outdoor JtP mission type with those (I wont do these.  Ever.  Indoor, cave, those are fine.  Outdoor?  Not happening.).

Not that it matters.... I did spend SOME time seeking out the secret missions, but...... yeah, no buildings.   At all.


Am I missing something here?   Is there something at all that I can do about this?  I cant even go up to tier 2 until I have the stupid shelter in place.

Can you post a zipped copy of your world folder?  There should 100% always be an aquaurgist's well on your world map at one of the missions by this point.  If it's not doing that, I'd like to be able to look at that.

And also, in for 1.021:

* It is now possible to buy the four most-vital settlement structures through the opal guardian's store: Aquaurgist's Well, Lumbermancy Focal Station, Residential And Storage Tower, and Stonebinder Tri-Tower.
** These are all really super expensive at 20,000 consciousness shards; the ideal way to find these is definitely still through missions.  But if these now do provide an outlet for times when the random number generator simply hates you and you would otherwise get completely stuck in your progression.

Hm, after you said that, I went and had one more look at it.

There IS one that I'd missed.....

......but it's so far into the storm zone as to be basically impossible to get (probably why I didn't notice it).  Even a higher health character just sorta melts.


....I guess I gotta just wait for it to recycle?


At least this makes sense.... I knew I'd heard something about the building issue being fixed.

You could always try forcing a reset by going back to your older continents and using the time skip spells a few times. That's what I do when the random number gods deal me a bad hand.

ooh, I like that.


Gotta say, the whole store thing, that's really come out pretty well so far.

Those Shards really MATTER now, whereas before they were...... not very exciting to collect.

Yeah, I agree.
