** Digging a tunnel along the top of the bedrock will be one of the things you find yourself doing (and why I didn't call this the "farmer" approach). It lets you find golden chests under sand/beaches as well as buried cave mouths. Oh, and creating a quarry for stone (and maybe some ores) doesn't break the "rules" here, especially if it's out of exposed bedrock. | ** Digging a tunnel along the top of the bedrock will be one of the things you find yourself doing (and why I didn't call this the "farmer" approach).

** Although you can bypass finding gold ore (see above), eventually you'll have to find those rarer gems (rubies and diamonds) by getting into a deep cave. Fortunately there should be at least one in your world that curls around and goes both deep and to the surface -- somewhere. You might need to connect some traceries of cave chambers to get that deep, though. Or dig some rather long bedrock-top tunnels. | ** Although you can bypass finding gold ore (see above), eventually you'll have to find those rarer gems (rubies and diamonds) by getting into a deep cave.

* If you thought electricity was a pain to arrange, just wait until you try to fly. | |||
** You could buy a jetpack at a trade portal, but it will run you hundreds of the new platinum coins -- equal to thousands of gold coins, and a single chest holds only 1,584! | |||
** Including the craft bench upgrade, you'll need to start with about 1,000 units of oil, 300 coal, and nine titanium ingots. | |||
** If you're relying on solar for your electricity, you'll need a lot of solar panels to keep that refinery running. A faster way is to set up that steam generator you stopped using and have a second blockhead keep it fueled. | |||
** Most of the prep work is done at the refinery. Most of the assembly is done at the craft bench. But you'll have to make your jet engines at an electric metalwork bench. | |||
** So why bother? Because somewhere on the floating islands you can't see above you are gem trees. Yes, trees that produce gems like fruit. And if you don't fly, you'll have to climb -- on ladders. A whole lot of ladders. | |||
