This game is so good. Have been playing it for hours. Will pick it up once again when it’s “done”.
I fucking love this game. Guess it's time to get back into it.
I sincerely tried ngl. I managed to get through the Mistlands even though most of it just wasn't fun to me. Then I managed to get to the Ashlands, did my first stronghold raid and... I wasn't having fun at all. Maybe it's better with friends (how I initially played the game), but all of mine are busy.
That's fair, to each their own. I absolutely love resource gathering and building so it is very fun for me. All but a few of my hours in the game are solo play.
Also mods can make the game a bit less demanding which can make it more fun too, like letting metal through portals for example.
Here's my Ashlands base if you're interested.

Also, the Portal Stone allows you to teleport metals. I usually build temp ones at existing portal locations and just change portal designations if I need to transport metals. One of the best additions to the game, especially since having to navigate back to the Ashlands every time you needed iron or something would be terrrrible.
That's good. I actually built the first thing I was ever properly proud of in the Ashlands (before the roof fell off, anyway) and that was about my only good experience with the patch. Generally, the building and resource gathering in any game isn't interesting to me but grausten is such a cool material to work with. But the combat, exploration, and progression in the Ashlands are plain unpleasant IMO and those are usually the aspects of games that I enjoy most.
Yeah...a genuine diamond in the rough of mediocre major titles.
Time to set up a new dedicated server / world.
Fired it up on the Steam Deck. It's certainly faster loading into the world than it was before.
