The mist is too extreme. i wandered around a large Mistlands area for several hours and only found one Infested Mine. Is that because I couldn't see or because there is only one in the entire area? I don't know, but it wasn't fun and I could not make progress for several hours because I could not find the mines. This is a test mode, so it can change, but in its current state, Mistlands is more grind than fun. Maybe that will change when I get more cores, but how long will that take?? Good luck!

Sounds like the seed of your world is just not as good as it could be,mine had/has like 16 cramped on one island along with vigvisir
