This is painful. I’m running update a couple hundred times to get just one fully updated. Each update take quite a while before timing out and failing. At least it’s saving progress but man this is bad.
For those who have yet to jump in, this video gives a decent guide to some initial questions on Genesis:
From what I’ve seen, there is a bit of resource isolation which might be part of the attempt to push you back and forth from biome to biome. Using HLNA to jump isn’t precision, but gets you into one of 8 cardinal direction locations within the target biome. There is still quite a bit of use for the Stargate mode due to that.
Also a cautionary note: The Bog is not, “Easy.” It’s easier than cold, heat and drowning, but it’s no walk in the park. Right up there with Aberration on hard starts in my opinion. Today large predators (spinos,) and alphas started showing up.
More strangeness: There are obsidian rocks in arctic biome but picking them only gives stone.
