Glacite Tunnels
The Glacite Tunnels are a Location focused on
Mining that requires Heart of the Mountain VII to be accessed. It has several unique minerals, including
Glacite,
Umber, and
Tungsten.
Accessing
[edit | edit source]In order to access the Dwarven Base Camp and then the Glacite Tunnels, the player must forge a
Secret Railroad Pass after talking to
Dulin. The player must be Heart of The Mountain VII in order to forge a
Secret Railroad Pass, forged with 1 Flawless Ruby Gemstone, 2 Refined Mithril, and 8 Corleonite for 30 seconds (without the Quick Forge upgrade).
Purpose
[edit | edit source]In the Glacite Tunnels, the player can mine Dwarven Metals like
Umber,
Tungsten and
Glacite. The Glacite Tunnels also contain Gemstones, exclusive to this area, such as
Onyx,
Aquamarine,
Citrine and
Peridot. Inside the Tunnels, you accumulate Cold, which reduces your Mining Speed by 0.5 per Cold. Additionally, the players Speed is decreased by 25% for every 25 Cold. Upon reaching 100 Cold, the player freezes to death and is returned to Dwarven Base Camp.
Mineshafts
[edit | edit source]Glacite Mineshafts can be found by mining blocks within the Glacite Tunnels. The base chance of spawning a Glacite Mineshaft is 0.05%, or 1 in 2,000. A pity system was implemented in Version 0.20.1 to provide a more consistent spawn rate for Glacite Mineshafts. Each pity counter begins at 2,000 and decreases by the numbers below for each block type. Once a Glacite Mineshaft has spawned, the counter is reset to 2,000.
| Block Broken | Counter Increment |
|---|---|
| 2 | |
| 4 | |
| 8 |
After finding a Glacite Mineshaft, a portal will appear, which the player has 30 seconds to enter before it disappears. A sound will be played and the following chat message will appear:
Mineshaft! A mineshaft portal spawned nearby!
A notification will also appear in the middle of the screen with the same wording as the chat message. Once the portal appears, it will emit purple and white particles. Above the particles, the player's name will appear next to Mineshaft Portal. Once you click the portal, a UI will appear with more info:
