The wacky weirdness of caves in the Pocket Edition


Recommended Posts

I've been playing DS almost exclusively on my iPad these days, trying to catch up to my experience level on PC, and since I got a new iPad it mostly works great.

 

However, if you go spelunking, all bets are off. I just got killed in a cave after blowing both keystones on the surface, but when I went back to the app, I still had a game in that slot. When I loaded it, I landed, without beard or inventory, in a cave -- not the cave I died in, even though it can be accessed through the same sinkhole, but AN ENTIRELY NEW CAVE. Unmapped, presumably with all of the stuff that I dropped in there (tam, walking cane, miner's hat, etc.) lost forever. 

 

Back on the surface, my camp was as I left it, but it turned out I'd lost ALL my knowledge -- couldn't even make rope without going back to the alchemy engine. It's sort of an interesting challenge though: like starting over with a bunch of resources but no recipes, and at the beginning of summer!

 

In other games I've quit and saved while in a cave, only to reload the game and find myself back at the entry point with the same stuff in my inventory that I had when I last jumped down the hole. But changes I'd made to the cave itself (cut-down trees, stuff stashed in chests, lanterns) had been saved. Anything I'd brought down there from the surface and stashed would be in my inventory again, effectively doubling a bunch of stuff like food and grass. So that was a bonus. You never know what it's going to be! Could be bad, could be good.

 

So far I haven't been into the Ruins in iOS. Most of my caves in Pocket don't even have an entrance to the Ruins, though I did find one once.

As far as Pocket Editions go I generally keep my distance (minecraft, terraria, FNAF (never play but seen) ) as they tend to get hand me down bug fixes, many bugs go unfixed, don't run as smooth, etc.

 

That's not very helpful as far as your bug goes, but if it bugs (hahahahahahahahahahahahah) you enough I would suggest sticking to PC/PS4.
