Bug Description:
when I find the starmetal, the stone doesn’t smoke. I can then blow it up and mine it, but I don’t get any star metal in my inventory. I’ve been playing for over a week and every time I find Starmetal it’s the same problem.
You need tier 4 pick to mine it. Hopefully hardened steel and black ice pick works. But you can also go to the khitan caravan camps and buy a black blood pick from the merchants (best tools of the game) !
If you don’t use the correct pick of pickaxe, this will be always like that, it’s not a bug, it’s the new settings!
Welcome to the forum and the game Exile, happy to have you around
Ever use the wrong screwdriver or wrench on a screw or nut for long enough? The wrong tool for the wrong job can very much deplete what it’s working on…
so because I use a hatchet on a tree and get wood and don’t get bark it shouldn’t deplete either because bark would be lying around?
some things are just the way they are because there’s a “kinda like this” reason, and the real reason is “you need this tool to get it for the progression to be as designed”.
I could say “stop tilting in the wind against a change that was made intentionally and even has a patch note about it”, but I’m not going to. That would be petty of me.
Totally agree. I believe that’s a mistake that should be fixed on hotfix grom day one.
About the rest?
I still remember my first minecraft days
I had a stone pick for everything and i was mining my first hours only with stone picks without have any intention to change this cheap logic. When i reached my first gold ores i understand with great disappointment that either i destroyed the gold ores, either i have no gold stones. Ofcurce it was a sad for moment for me but i understood that if want to gain more i had to upgrade my tools…
Sandbox games, they do have the “let down” parts, but knowledge costs. And when something costs expensive then it’s precious .
