Help! - A story of bugs and spoilers - Search for the Submarine Sphere

[Kittemz1 10]

Hi everyone! I need help! Potential spoilers ahead - this is all happening on [OFFICIAL] Explore PA 15.

 

Story first:

Been going around for days, trying to find a submarine sphere to fit the key I found in a cave structure.

It took me days because my map was resetting every time I left the server...

Finally located the downed submarine by pure accident in the middle of absolutely nowhere.

It had no locked sphere in it or around it. There was a bamboo chest on top with some sailor stuff. I found coins and a goblet inside.

I excavated all around that wreck and there was nothing else to be found.

I thought "oh well, there's always the floating structure on the starter yland, maybe the submarine sphere is there".

I go back to my yland to prepare.

I get back to starter yland and climb to the top of the floating structure.

I then build a small cannon to shoot the Tesla Coils down.

I shoot 1 cannonball, and realize the cannon is bugged and I cannot reload it.

I destroy the cannon and get the material back - but the cannon is still physically there.

I make a cannon, shoot the Tesla, destroy the cannon and repeat the process 10 times. The Tesla does not go down, despite registering hits from a dead-close cannon 10 times.

I am out of cannonballs so I put on my rubber suit and step into the Tesla. I am miraculously unharmed.

There is nothing on the roof with the Tesla Coils and I take the ladder down.

I am in an empty room with two Ylandium generators. There is absolutely nothing there.

 

Now the questions (I am more than willing to log in with one or more of you guys and gals, and figure this out):

 

1) Is there more than 1 submarine wreck on the server? Could it happen? Since the one I found had no sphere.

 

2) Are cannons bugged for everyone or just me? Could you log unto PA 15 and let me know if it's just the server?

Are Tesla Coils supposed to go down to cannonballs? If so, how many shots?

 

3) Since crafting Guardian Armor, animals can't seem to hit me at all, I can't drown underwater and generally can't take damage.

Is a rubber suit (shirt, pants, flippers, breathing mask) known to be invulnerable to Tesla Coils? Is it just me being invulnerable on the server by some kind of bug?

 

4) I read a lot of reports of finding locked chests inside the floating structure. Has anyone ever encountered a floating structure that had no treasure in it?

 

This was really frustrating, felt like days of work are for absolutely nothing. I don't know if it's bugged or I just fell on the wrong side of the Random Hammer.

Can anyone help figuring this out?

 

Thanks!

I suspect its  all random ....  i have  opened chests to find   different  things in each one. others such as boxes were  empty but  looking carefully  nearby i have found  half  buried  weapons and  ammunition. Once i found a  pair  of  alchemist  shoes behind a tree  some harvested plants and a  note..it contained a  alchemy recipe using the  plants 

I been on some islands  with  no   caves  or  structures ,,but  have  found  literally   tones of   iron, coal, copper  and  saltpeter   in a   easy to   mine  grouping

I guess the randomness is  truly  random..  ...its   all in the luck  when the  game is   seeded and started.  But then you don't want  everything to be predictable !  That would  spoil the game.

There is a forcefield door in a cave that has the key to this.  Ive found the key in a cave but can't find the sub.  For me it seems it's spawned in the open ocean instead of around an island because I've searched for hours and cant find it.

Submarine sphere is indeed in a submarine, however there sometimes are multiple submarines around your island

1) Is there more than 1 submarine wreck on the server? Could it happen? Since the one I found had no sphere.

Yes, but there are more versions of wrecked submarines, one of them will contain the sphere.

2) Are cannons bugged for everyone or just me? Could you log unto PA 15 and let me know if it's just the server?

The cannons seem not to work properly right now, we are looking into it

3) Since crafting Guardian Armor, animals can't seem to hit me at all, I can't drown underwater and generally can't take damage.

Is a rubber suit (shirt, pants, flippers, breathing mask) known to be invulnerable to Tesla Coils? Is it just me being invulnerable on the server by some kind of bug?

Guardian armor is powerful, but you shouldn't be invincible nor should you breathe underwater. Rubber suit is also not resistant to electricity, must be a bug.

4) I read a lot of reports of finding locked chests inside the floating structure. Has anyone ever encountered a floating structure that had no treasure in it?

There should be a locked chest in the floating box, no idea why it's not there anymore. Maybe someone else destroyed it already?

hmmh, I'm not sure about guardian armor make you invincible. But when I'm starting become immortal, I wear guardian armor.. I didn't need to eat, I can breath underwater, No damage being applied to my character(from animals, and player shot my head, or falling damage). My health bar become yellow just like when you equip "Creator Cube" but without cube logo beside it. Here is my thread about my immortality in Official server.
