Talk:The Lazy Explorer/@comment-2601:245:C000:5B40:E55E:94F0:A8E7:FDA6-20171112020010

Gotta love how so many people are whining in the comments about how useless this is to them. Like really, what the hell else were you going to do with your Orange Gems? The forager to pick crap up a little faster? A MOONLENS? lmao! The only other thing worth a crap that takes orange gems is the new Lazy Deserter so players can teleport to each other, but that only requires one orange gem (along with the moonrock of course). So you only really need ONE orange gem for anything other than Lazy Explorer's... (and if you use the Construction Amulet you only need one gem to make this too!)

So we've already established that you don't have anything better to do with your orange gem's than make a few of these (unless you wanna cover your entire map in specific colored moon-lenses for....er...some...reason?) pretty much. As for the "uselessness" of The Lazy Explorer...tell that to The Ancient Fuelweaver lol. His Bone Prison means that a Lazy Explorer is basically REQUIRED to fight him reliably. And if you use a map with "Land Loop = Never / Land Branch = Most" (which you SHOULD be since it's typically the best map setup) or anything similar to it like Loop = Never / Branch = Default etc... this allows you to EASILY/QUICKLY jump biomes in a heart-beat.

I've seen a instances where players rushed the ruins like for WX gear runs and wanted to make up for lost time (Already day 12 when exiting ruins) so instead of mapping out the edges like normal or giving up on it entirely, they just partially mapped biomes until they could see the next one across the water, then poofed with the explorer they made/found in the ruins, saving almost an entire day of time each time they did it. They managed to STILL get up a full on 10 berry bush + 10 grass + 10 twig + 3 farm + 4 bee box + 5 drying rack + 2 crock pot + Ice Box + Fire Pit etc... base and all other winter gear before winter despite only having 8 days above the surface left. Not to mention they didn't even have to bother with MacTusk-ing since they already had a "walking cane" to increase speed.
