Just witnessed a conversation in which someone asked what minerals were used for other than pet food. When told they were used to determine the future layouts of gates(the person who answered wasn't entirely sure...), the asker simply asked why anyone would want to do that...
You see what you're doing OOO? You're making Wagner cry!

Not only did someone not know that Minerals are used to determine the Strata of the Clockworks, they honestly questioned why anyone would want to do so.
On a brighter note, now that everyone has access to the other Sprites and many have hit max level, we might be seeing strata other that FLIPPING FREEZE.
What I don't get is why aren't the GMs fixing this with alloys?
Alloys are/were for testing purposes, not for environmental control.
Actually they were used at launch as a stopgap to keep the gates from being homogenized by minerals from the earliest strata. We have the same problem right now where gates are being homogenized by minerals that aren't used for sprites.
But wasn't those gates a problem because they were the same theme and monster the entire gate? I thought that was the reason they implemented the whole no two connecting stratums can be of the same type.
Kinda wish the devs hadn't changed the gates so they rotate automatically. It would be interesting to have the gates become permanently frozen in time since no one dumps minerals anymore.
Hehe, frozen in time. > <
I'm expecting more sprites down the line, using Blue and Green food, upon whose release the themes brought by those minerals will become rare. Then peops will be complaining about how Freeze strata are uncommon, and even more will be complaining about how we had first complaining about too much Freeze and then too little.
From what I see, this expectation is very common, so I'm baffled by how lots of Blue and Green are being deposited for a few crowns a unit rather than stockpiled until such time as they can be converted and sold for more than pocket change.
