i was already to buy these in the morning but after reading the additional dep wont add to the total found is no point will wait to see if its cleared up
Been a looong time since I uncovered foggy areas but I had a vague idea that it could take a while, so was gonna send explorers out to come back after maint. Moot point now since we're into maint now :-)Quote:

So for some reason new islands can only be found one at a time. Sent out multiple explorers all came back reporting success but only found one new sector each time.
Sent out one Explorer and it didn't find anything. The system tab reported "No unexplored sector is adjacent to one of yours, or a neutral sector." I have previously explored/built the southern islands, with the exception of the gem paid island in the south east and in the north. I have paid the gems for the island in the south west and built on that.
I fully expected not to be able to find the two new islands in the north as I have not bought the gem paid island directly below them, but I am surprised I cannot find the islands in the south west (the desert ones).
lol please ignore this - wrong explorer search :(
[15:16] System: Your explorer has successfully mapped a new sector.
but its still covered in fog ??
Lag, its now viewable
Hey folks - we're looking into the potential issue with deposits and the new islands. In the meantime, keep letting us know your feedback and concerns!
This was reported on the french servers a week ago would of thought would been fixed before releasing it anywhereQuote:

Sent 1 scout again, he found and uncovered 1 extra island.
Sent 2 scouts again, they found 2, but uncovered 1 island
refresh, no change (still 1 island covered)
Sent 2 scouts again. They both! said to have found an island, last island uncovered.

I had exactly the same Budgy, but they appeared after about 5 minutes. I put it down to lag
More money grabbing (removed)
Please do not swear on the forums
As much disappointed as i also am that at least 1 of them wasn't free, we need to understand they have to earn money somehow or else the game will shut even sooner then expected :)Quote:

I like - the space
I don't like - the cost; the fact the gran deposit is an alternate not an additional; there are no exo tree (or any tree) deposits on NE islands
i have only the fog and nothing else.
You sent explorer on "Explore far away sector"?Quote:

I can build on the top top right but not the southern deserts. I cant even place a Storehouse on the deserts.
Logged out for an hour, deleted cache etc. Logged back in. No deeds available in shop as all bought, gems taken from store, No deeds in star menu so obviously used but I still cant place any buildings / storehouses.
Will send ticket and wait for a fix to be deployed over the next day or so.
I bought and placed all "Island" storehouses. I wonder if that matters?Quote:

And yes it is normal storehouses I have tried to place.
i found normal storehouses or improved ones worked no problems on the two green islands at the top... however had to use the ones under the elite buildings tab for the desert islandsQuote:

Am I correct in believing that the number of possible deposits for Granite, Titanium, and Saltpeter have increased but the total number of allowable mine remains the same. I was under the impression that an increase in deposits would mean a corresponding increase in the number of mines allowed. I am finding this is not the case.
great but, Space could be larger, for that Price in gems,
but will buy them anyway
Totally agree here. It is annoying - a lot! Why i need shuffle for the granite deposits - you need mason nearby, it's not like the salt and titanium deposits. I'm very disappointed and I would ask BB to fix this issue or to return the gems spent - I would rather buy deeds without any deposits. The description in the dev diary was very misleading!Quote:

Granite mines have been useless since yesterday.
whats going on with the new deposits? many searches and only one salt peter, they should not be alternates to the existing as gem island they should be extras
one on each island
you could always just put a new mason by the latest deposit, if you don't like the walk. Personally I probably won't bother - the new deposit will be a backup resource for the mason on the previous top islet, and when he empties his main deposit he will at least stay busy.Quote:

The thing is I didn't buy that gem sector - so I don't have mason there. My geo finds the granite for 2hrs 45m (or something like that)... So i end up with very, very distant granite depo and one of the my masons will be always long walking coz the nearst depo is empty. Now do you see how inadequate is your comment for me Wulf ;-)Quote:

Exactly. The masons work time is ~10 min. After that depo was found, the time "Workyard -> Deposit" became 5 minutes instead 20 seconds, because they need to travel a long distance. And the new depo will never be reached anyway.Quote:

So please remove that depo or make it +1.
Also in the north islands: what was the point of the trees in the middle and also the little 1x1 space taken? One 2x2 spot lost in every island. They are already tiny...

Took out my first message. The issue is already being discussed and I can only agree. Sie the islands cost a lot the deposits should be extra
But if you've bought the new island with the extra deposit, you still have the option of one granite mason feeding from both, except he'll be based at the top rather than by the lower deposit. Alternatively, you don't mine either of those deposits, which leaves you in exactly the same situation as you were last week. It was made clear in the dev diary that they new deposits would be on the new islands - although admittedly we all inferred that the maximum number of concurrently usable deposits would increase accordingly.Quote:
