Talk:Floating Island

For the inevitable Floating Island debates that will rage over how low/high you can find them relative to the ground.


 * We need to begin collecting data on this, it is our job as editors to provide the most accurate information possible. So I suggest we start having people record Floating Islands as they find them, relative to height off the ground and raw elevation, then we can compare this data to find the true locations of them. - Shadowclaimer 18:02, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Brick type and loot quality
Is there any evidence to support the truth of the claims made in the article? Not stories of people finding rocket boots in gold buildings. Actual code proof. Mapping programs suggest that all islands have gold and silver ores in them as well, making the claim about the wall type being linked to ore types equally dubious. 134.50.218.72 20:24, 19 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I found a starfury in a copper-brick temple, so at the very least it's not a guarantee. May 22, 2011 --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.83.88.150 (talk).


 * In general, I have found that Gold buildings have MORE items, not better quality items. In a gold building I regularly find 4 items in the chest, average 2 for Silver, and usually just a Islands loot table item in copper. The wall color does not seem to make a difference in the amount of Gold & Silver ore found on the island. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.55.172.151 (talk).


 * We can easily set up a research page, if enough people commit to recording their loot we can get some statistics. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png ]] talk  05:56, 23 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree with this and would be more than happy to start contributing data. I have been gathering some already. TNT 08:42, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Merged into the Environments page
This article, while well written, is so small that I'd say we merge it - along with all the rest of the biome pages - into the overarching Environment page. MarekkPie 15:01, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
