    I believe if your mining with the proper tool (pickaxe) you will get 3. If you are mining with your hands, you only get 1.

    Where/How do you get clay? I seemed to have some, but I don't know how I got it...

    It's in dirt, along with flint. They look slightly different.

    Look out your window.
    I tried to dig but got bored half way through the first block. -__-

    I need motivation. I need purpose.

    Now that I want to see. When I got in most boat for the first time and the tilt controls activated I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed my sailing.

    I agree, there is a lot of depth to the game despite it being Free-To-Play.

    I like the game but its basically pay to play. There's no way it could be any fun without the IAP craft speed doubler and using crystals for the majority of time consuming crafting during the game. Imo.

    Also you need crystals to unlock portals to the degree that finding them underground would be a hopeless grind. Imo.

    I love the game but I won't be buying a third epoch of crystals and will probably delete on principal because I can't get behind this IAP implementation.

    If the devs had just made the IAP optional items that have nothing to do with time crafting then I would carried on a lot longer and probably spent more out of appreciation.

    I have to stop paying and playing for this now cos it niggles me.

    Ocean divided, for my pleasure.

    I'll post more later, I am still expanding my castle and his gardens into the ocean with a bridge. And I'll show the final product of this house, I wish there were fish in the ocean. The possibilities in this game are enormous, and this game just has started.

    I salute the developer, there are so much depth in details, my journey into the center of the world was astonishing. I recommend buying the "double-time" and at least one pack of crystals, both to help the developer continue with more updates and for your pleasure. I wish I could know how much time I've spend, LOT of hours.

    I'd post some of what I've made within the game, but it would probably earn me a suspension. Ah why not...

    That ladder goes straight up to space and down to the center of the planet. I'm cool, I know.

    And I wonder what this sign above my humble abode says... Hmmm...

    Welcome to Wenisland, yes that must be it. What else could it be?

    Also my ice castle I build at the South Pole...

    Wow! And I thought my wooden house was already pretty cool :p
    Just wondering: Did you sleep the last few days? :D

    It looks like there are a lot of cool buildings build already, according to the screenshots in this thread.

    Haha, yes I did. The building itself wasn't so hard. I mean the ice castle was a joke since ice is easy to find. But the other one is made out of marble, which is such a pain to find. The only thing worse would be maybe sandstone, as that seems to be pretty rare too. Easier to find in that it isn't miles below the surface, but less common.

    Or I guess lapis lazuli would be worse, seeing as I've only found two blocks of that in all my excursions.

    Wow the pics here are making me think I need to play a lot more of this. I was impressed with my little two story wooden/stone house :rolleyes:
    Looks like I have some serious work to do, I haven't even reach a pole yet :eek:

    Ahh, the pareto principle at work. 80/20 rule. 80% of IAP purchases are made by 20% of those who download a game... or some variant on those numbers probably.

    Either way, I bought the crafting half timer and MAN does that help. Leveraging time not having to focus on the game so you can focus on the rest of life is a god-send! Loving the game, and honestly, I can't wait for an update. But after having played Terraria to hell and back, I PRAY for this game to go in that direction somehow, or at least become more extensive... I mean, its got swords and spears! Combat and armor would make this game freakin sweet, but then you'd probably have to change the control scheme. Majic Jungle better capitalize on this somehow.

    It's interesting to me that every time I re-install Junk Jack, I can't get myself into it and end up deleting it again... This one seems to be sticking around.

    I guess everyone has their camp.

    Agree. I have it installed too and can't get into it. Now this one has sucked me in. Simplicity of controls and crafting, I guess. And in the end, if you mine a lot you do find crystals. Enough for your needs. But you have to dedicate A LOT of time to the game, something which if you like it, you will do so. This game reminds me a lot of Android's "Gem miner: dig deeper". I have finally found a substitute for it in my iPhone :D and I must admit that after the initial doubts, I'm happy I didn't delete it.

    Look at the things you can make with a workbench. A furnace is there, and you'll also find something that will let you make clothes, linen, or a boat. It will tell you what materials you need.

    Figure this all out yourself and you'll have an easier time with the rest of the game.

    So in order to have any fun with this game you have to pay a huge amount to iAP. I see I'm looking at at least $15 to get a little enjoyment. This is a great idea. Looks great. Plays awful unless you pour an immense amount of money into it.

    You don't need $15 to enjoy the game, I spent $2.99 for the craft timer, have earned 100+ time crystals an still have at least another 15 blocks of TCs to mine that I have found.

    You can enjoy it without any IAP IMO. I did for the first 2 days. Wanted to make sure it was a game I could get into before opting to pay for it.
