Increasingly addicted to Mooncraft and Explore mode, although I am still trying to figure out strategies for marking the areas I explore in order to find my way back when I get killed and spawn someplace else. I have been tending to dig long trenches as they are visible from far off, and building towers, but still manage to get lost.

I keep having bugs where I'll create something like a magnet, drag to the existing magnet, but the count won't go to two. It will stay at one. It seems when this starts to happen, there is no way I can get it to work again properly unless I start a new world, but I haven't been able to document properly.

What if when you create the magnet, drag it to the outside of the grid (which throws it on the ground), and then walk over and pick it up? I think that will let you keep both magnets.

 * Yoshiyahu, I think you're definitely on the right track with digging trenches to help you navigate your moon. I've gotten into the habit of digging a 1 block deep trench everywhere I go.  And I start doing this from the moment I touch down on a new moon.  This slows things down a lot when I only have the starter Drill, but with the v3 drill it is only slightly slower than walking normally.  With all the Inventory Bugs it is almost too easy to upgrade to teir 3 devices.


 * I try to mark the direction I'm heading away from my original insertion point (N,S,E or W). Even though it may seem like I'm inserted into a different location after each death, I'm fairly certain it's always on the same superblock and I can usually find my way back to my original starting point, especially if I took the time to collect a few blocks and built a tower before heading off exploring.  Trenching also helps me see where superblocks have been regenerated.  My trench will end abrubtly, but then continue on the other side of the superblock, 128 blocks away.


 * I'm not sure if any of that was helpful, mostly I just wanted to say thanks for becoming an active contributor on this wiki.
