Title: Finding a Vault-Please Help
Post by: Smoothbrain on June 11, 2020, 03:54:39 pm

Looking to raid a vault and I'm having trouble figuring out where it is from the legends viewer cords, how do i find the correct tiles? where is the origin point for the games internal x/y?

(0,0) is the top-left most tile of the map, so (5,6) would be the O in this example:
XXXXXX
XXXXXX
XXXXXX
XXXXXX
XXXXXX
XXXXXX
XXXXXO <-- here

If you use Legends Mode to print out a world map of the structures, you will be able to pinpoint where they are located a lot easier, specially with 47.x update. Before they were more annoying to find when zooming in, due to they are the same size as a tower, but now they arnt anymore, towers are bigger, but the vaults themselves are still a 1x1 pixel, you may need to zoom in and look around, but u will find them all (although, ones that are scattered against water may be easily missed)
