Seriously fix this RNG. Spent the whole summer exploring caves to find atrium entrance and still did not get it

[reallychina]

And no, atrium can not be telepoofed to, it's between maze and middle branch

[-Variant]

Just to double check. You're not wandering around looking for a walkable entrance right?
You're using the tentacles? 

[reallychina]

Yes of course.

my issue is that stupid rng like this should be fixed and there should be a way to find it, like the medallion to ancient guardian.

I literally started searching on day 56 and found it on day 72 in a green biome where i thought they are not supposed to spawn

Looking for something for 15 days IS rng.

In the most cases atrium was in telepoof cases. And it was no problem to find it.

This would be perfect but this is still rng as some worlds do not have direct port to atrium

but isnt rng since is time exploring, use a beef or mag to fin it faster

i get your point and i hope some day klei will give us more interesting destinations via tentapillars to break that sense of "i use this only because of the atrium"

exploring and looking for something is inherently RNG

 

Imagine if Chester eyebone for example did not have some limitations on spawn as it does now but instead could spawn anywhere (including a dark forest under trees).

 

You have some hints on where things should be in this game, for the atrium pillar there is none and the variation is absurd.

But pillars are stationary, there's only so many of them, and you can automatically cross out two when you search. Killing them is not that difficult either.

Just pop a minisign on both sides to know it's not this one, and try a different one. Tentapillars show up on map so it's not like you'll be looking behind trees to find them. 

[reallychina]

I know how to mark them, that's not the point

[Well-met]

game developers don't have to accomodate speedrunning. its up for you to cope

ideally klei wants people to spend as much time as possible on a world

[reallychina]

Not wanting to spend 15 days to find something is not speedrunning, lmao.

 

There are already plenty of instances in which klei provided hints/capped the rng and made the world consistent, there is no reason for atrium entrance to stay like this.
