  • I bought a copy for a cousin who never gets to game. Told him not to look up anything. He tries solo.

    So he starts. Makes a club. Stealth kills a few deer. Then summons the boss.

    Now he’s got the first boss chasing him when he never figured out the work bench. Running away wielding a club and no pants.

    Dies. Respawns. Boss finds him at spawn. Spawn camps him.

    Calls me up. I’m dying.

    I told him to start over, make the hammer, and listen to the crow.






  • I highly recommend this game and to play it without looking up shit.

    Be prepared to die many times as you learn the mechanics and quirks of every biome, mob and boss.

    Progression is smooth and at your own pace. You can play and building basic houses for months without the game getting harder.

    Or you can rush all the best gear/boss kills you want.

    Or expoit the AI and make a mob mine/chop copper or fancy wood for you before you unlock it. (Too hard to hit without a tool).

    Or skip ahead a few biomes where you can get one shot to gather some mats way ahead of time.

    Beat the game normally and install a overhaul mod for new game plus. Or add new magic to the game.


    And it’s all even more fun with friends. When you die together and struggle to retrieve your lost loot.


  • I haven’t played in a bit but vanilla inventory pisses me off.

    Not the size but the lack of quick stuff. I hear they patched QuickStore so you can quickly dump matching items from inventory to a chest you’re looking at.

    Gather wood. Hit carry weight limit.
    Walk to build site. Build workbench and chest. Open chest. Put away wood.
    Repeat more trips to chop more wood and open chest to store. Build a few more. Chests and fill those. (I do 2 - 4 chests)
    House time. Take out wood. Build. Repeat small reload mat trips until done with build.

    Crafting? Gather all the mats you need from chests and hit the workstation.

    I use mods.

    Quickstore - press a key and matching items from your inventory auto store into nearby chests. Go adventure and come home, hit a key to dump inv into matching chests and sleep/save/quit.

    CraftFromContainers - auto pull resources from nearby containers for building, crafting, cooking and more.

    They’re just QoL mods that save me organizational time and let me play the game. It’s been a year tho.

    I used to use a few other QoL mods. Vanilla gameplay with GUI or time saving bits.
