How to visit the prototype Indigo Quarry in 0.2.6
I'm tired of people gatekeeping the trick to reactivating the Indigo Quarry in versions 0.2.0 to 0.2.6. However, you won't get a tutorial out of me in this post. The rules of this subreddit (unfortunately) prohibit datamining, and I think this post may cut it close. If you really need one, DM me.
Getting to the Indigo Quarry is trivially easy. In fact, you can do it on day 1. The first picture shows the optimal position from which it is possible to jetpack to the Quarry.
The second picture shows Beatrix standing on the fence just outside her ranch house. The reticule points towards a ledge, all you have to do is fly onto it and walk forwards until the Quarry is visible.
Third picture shows the entrance to the Indigo Quarry. From there, it's possible to jump up onto the ledge which has the first Oca Oca crop.
Fourth picture shows the Oca Oca's freaky realistic texture prior to their change. I'm pretty sure this was just a placeholder until real art could be made.
After walking to the end, it's possible to find the Indigo Quarry's first (and only) Mint Mango outcrop.
Some miscellaneous images follow. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who managed to reactivate rad slime spawns so far.
If one manages to get there on day 1 with only a jetpack, it is just barely possible to get back. to the Dry Reef. Just go to the ledge where the Indigo Quarry starts, go to the tip of the rightmost wall, and aim for just above the tunnel that can be seen.
Once again, if you really need a tutorial, do not hesitate to DM me.
