Im still in an emerald drought. Im drowning in rubies and sapphires though. Wouldnt it be great if we could trade items?
I enjoyed the game, but I'm changing my note from 4 to 3. I was expecting more than just miming. I was hoping to see exploration with more sense of progress. Something like Metroid thing, having to find X thing to pass the Y lock and explore a new area. I was expecting to see something more like Terraria where I need a pickaxe of X mineral to break Y mineral block to explore a new area. The exploration here was too plain for me and it was disappointing. Even more with that ending. In the end, I've reached the deepest point of Mars and missed depth.
I don't know why you guys like this so much? It's unfair and boring. All the cool stuff you need to upgrade is so far down you run out of fuel before you get back up and yes I upgraded the jet pack and visor so I could see stuff. Also there was so little of anything is wasn't worth the effort to find anything. And don't get me started on the worst shotgun in gaming history, we have rapid fire shotguns now and you have us believe we can get to mars but weapons technology has went backwards I think they did it just to frustrate us!
Well, just tried loading up the world and got a "Director-Class ERROR" which states that it "Failed to execute new( params ) function on 'world'." Which seems like it could be a bit of an issue. It would kind of suck to loose everything on the world, but I'm ok with that if it is un fixable.
We will get a fix for that! The save file was corrupted for some reason, but at least we'll make so you can load as much as possible of your save.
Yes it's basically 'I Dig It' with a couple of tweaks. It's certainly nothing at all like a Metroidvania title, I've no idea how that's got into all the reviews. Perhaps it's in the press release? I've still not found a third statue, 7 hours in. Not having a map is a rather strange arbitrarily imposed limitation that merely serves to drag out the game rather than making it about 'memorable' exploration. Getting rather bored of the rigmarole of mining, heading back up, mining, heading back up, occasionally upgrading a tool in some way. There's not really much more to do.
yeah, i'm also getting the director class error. arghhhhhh. glad you guys are doing a fix for it tho!
i've just updated the game, and don't have any "director-class error" message, simply i don't have the continue option anymore, all my progress is gone! will the next update fix my old save?
I have systematically explored the entire map up to 2300 feet and finished the first 2 dungeons. For the things available to craft, I am still short 4 Cobalt Ingots, 22 Emerald stones, 17 Steel Ingots and 2 Rhodite Ingots. I can't find them anywhere. All of which should be above 2200 feet. (2/3 of the map has been explored to 3000 feet) I haven't put any in the offer pit or died/run out of fuel with anything in my bin. None of the robots are helping me. Is there a chance that there isn't enough material spawned in a map to craft everything? I have a feeling that I might have missed a few by topping off my bin (There might have been space for 2 items, and I mine a block with 3), but that wouldn't explain the huge deficit in emeralds.
Like some others, i'm a bit disappointed, because i'm getting bored... Sorry to think that way, i was really enthusiastic at first, but now.. The good news for me is that i've opened terraria for the first time, to see if there is more things to do. And i really prefer terraria, i think it's more my kind of game. This one is beautiful, i like the art, the music and i liked the beginning, but now, i have to admit that terraria is much more my cup of tea. I can build my house, dig all nights, hunt during the day, meet some guys.. I should have tried it before! I'll give a try with the update.
Hmm... So far been playing this game on and off, and I have a grenade launcher and a shotgun, I have around total 125 Rhodite Ingots, 50 emeralds, 42 Rubies, and 30 Sapphires. I never really took the time to look through possible armory crafts, but is there something like a minigun that's craftable?
Are those the only two weapons you've crafted? There are still quite a few for you to make. I posted all weapons here, but only look if you don't mind the spoilers: http://www.appunwrapper.com/2014/03/07/mines-of-mars-weapon-stats-guide/
