Repaired clockwork marble question


Recommended Posts

I'm pretty sure this is caused by the mod I'm using, but want to doublecheck it doesn't happen in the regular game.

If you mine the repaired marble clockworks (in their setpiece) on the full moon, they turn into regular clockworks that drop sketches when killed. Despite having done this a couple of times, I absent-mindedly decided they needed to be mined on the new moon, and when I did that, they spawned the shadow pieces, scaring the #$%& out of me and also killing me, although some nearby beefs finished them off. They did drop sketches and gears and also nightmare fuel. Is this a bug from the mod?

Nope, pretty sure this is intentional as it's happened to me.

Each day, a new discovery. Thanks for that experiment, @Rellimarual, it will surely spice things a bit from now on :cool:

It is a core part of the vanilla game, the shadow chess piece fight, if that's new to you then you still got a bit of follow-up content left to do :D.

I've fought the shadow pieces before.

My expectation was that I'd have to craft the knight, rook and bishop statues to get the shadow pieces and that I needed to fight marble clockworks in order to get the sketches for the statues. So while the shadow chess piece fight isn't new to me, I had no idea that the clockworks (in addition to the knight, rook and bishop statues) could spawn them. I didn't realize there was a shortcut!

also, i think sketch drops once mined, not once killed in both moon phases

I think too that you don't have to kill the clockworks for their sketches, just mine the marble statues.

So you mean that if we mine the (naturally spawning) marble statues on a new moon, they spawn the shadow clockworks (too)? I believe that mining these should give their corresponding head part, right? Or I'm just confusing something?

No, mining the broken statues only gives you marble and prepares them to be completed. Then you need to find the suspicious marbles (heads) elsewhere on the map and bring them back to complete the statues. Once they're completed, it was my understanding that on the full moon they could be mined, which turns them into regular clockworks that, when killed, drop the sketches you need to make the statues, which can be mined on the new moon to get shadow pieces. But it's possible that just mining the completed statues also gets you the sketches. What I didn't realize is that you can also mine the completed statues on the new moon to get the shadow pieces

oooh my apologies! yeah, that's how we usually do our initial shadow fight :D I could see that being quite the shock when not intending for them lol.
