Hey, I am theory crafting and I have an idea of a guy that has tremorsense that he can't turn off, the problem is I want to get the range of it to be continential, but everything I try seems to be either too far are not far enough, Please help.

The problem you run into is that continents are of radically different size in general and are poorly defined. For a real world example Asia and Europe are sometimes listed separately and sometimes together; Africa is sometimes thrown in. The Americas run into the same problem. My best suggestion would be to use Extended enough to cover a continent, (likely 9 hits of extended plus 3 for tremors ensemble yielding 12 ranks) and add Limited (edge of Continent) to 4 of those ranks for a final point total of 10.

I wouldn't even limit it to the edge of the continent as such; the increasing distance penalties plus the fact that the tectonic plates aren't always in full alignment should solve any issues of distance there.

Go for the following;

Super-Senses 10 (Tremorsense [tactile; Accurate, Ranged, Extended 7]; 10pp)

Feel free to add acute or analytical to represent more detailed senses.

I figured continental range meant range that covered contents specifically. I am not sure OP is even watchig this thread but clarification would be nice.

Sorry for the long delay I was watching this post for a while but nothing happened so I forgot about it. I was doing something similar already Tremorsense (Accurate, Ranged Touch, Extended x7)
How does your version work different than mine? I'm till kind of new to the mechanical side of things
