Hatches? Thread - 3089

So I have posted previously about this and I am still very confused so give me a very detailed explanation how I unlock hatches and how I get to the building part of the game?!?

1) Complete a quest (by activating one at a Quest Station & completing the tasks). This will unlock the first boss.
2) Defeat the first boss (you may need to spend a little time improving your character, but the first boss isn't terribly difficult). This will unlock Ghosts.
3) Kill a ghost to unlock the hatches. Ghosts are easiest to find by taking a quest that has you clear out a haunted area.

Construction tools are for sale in the hatches. I put construction as a feature to unlock, because I want players to get accustomed to the game without building features first, since building is a supplement to this game & not a central focus.

Thanks man, oh yeah and by the way I was the one complaining my game wouldn't update. It was becuase I was launching from a taskbar icon for some reason deleting this solverd the problem so now I can get all of your cool new features

Oh, glad to hear you got it working! Welcome

I unlocked them, but I'm having trouble finding them. I have no idea what they look like or where they are, so if i could get some info on that I'd be set.

P.S. Are there plans for optimizing the performance of the game in the future? Cause I'm on a mid level laptop and it hurts...

They're pretty small and can be quite hard to spot through the fog since they're a light-grey colour, but they stand out fairly well against the bright backgrounds... then again, depending on your screen's brightness they might just wash out and look like white rocks or something if you run your laptop with a high brightness setting to fight off glare.

The easiest way to find hatches is to look for the ones that generate on overhangs or floating islands - they extend down right through the terrain to the bottom of the map, so you can see the pillar and aim for it. Getting to them would require a ship or movement item though.

You can find them scattered all over the ground, it's just that they're small and generally half-buried or only just poking out of the terrain. They tend to be generated in teh gaps between other terrain features like buildings, trees etc. - if you see a clearing with a concrete box in the middle, you've found one

Thnx! I started noticing all of them and immediately got workin on a cliffside house. Thanks a lot!

I would describe them as a grey white box smaller than a crate, with lettering stuff on top. I've found them in every city so far.
