I hope so. The ability to sit in a chair by the water, fish with some depth of play, and spill your ale/mead/beer while reeling in the line is a critical element of every good CRPG ever.I hope it reac..

Yes all very true, trader is definitely not finished developing and I think fishing will get extra development

Weak :( I hope they make harpoons usable to catch fish, and make poles craftable. Bait should also be something you can make, really.I hate loot gates. The boss progression being mandatory is bad enou..

You can't use anything else to catch fish unfortunately only rod. But yes you can catch fish by hand by chasing them to shore and snatching them when their with in range. So with some ingenuity you ca..

Those are draugr villages, they are great for farming entrails as they are not in the swamp so you don't get the wet debuff. Place a portal there for whenever you need some entrails quickly, just don'..

Keep them locked in if you can. Take out a second story section and put up a stair with a short wall to shoot over and into the opening. There is likely a spawner in there... pile on ground with flies..

Also, consider placing your second base on a different continent in the meadows and making it your main base. There's a much greater chance of finding a two star boar on a different continent, and mob..

My first base is a hut right by the spawn in. That will also be your default spawn in if you die without a bed. You may also want a little room you can fence off for crops or raising animals or both. ..

Vanilla?

Yeah I find Eikthyr is the best, even for combat, because that extra stamina allows you to move in and out of combat much easier so you don't get hit in the first place.

Eikthyr is great early onElder is.... who cares.Bonemass is our boyModer for sail exploration and transporting oresYagluth.... well at that point you are pretty much done, so no point really using it,..

I switch to the Bonemass power when I get that. Much better in a fight.

I usually put up a small roof from the exterior walls and put a fire under it and put my bed inside next to it

Sure. Really relaxing exploration, combat, and crafting simulator. You can make glorious crap by hand as a single person if you'd like. Resource gathering takes a little longer, but if you don't mind ..

Been playing solo for a couple of months and don't plan to stop anytime soon. I'm still considering it fun.

im sure if you asked around discord groups or something you can find a group that wants to start on a fresh world

What are these "friends" you speak of?

If you ran a breeder like a broadbent system then it won’t work.They now need 2 full 4x4 floor tiles and 1 4x4 high completely unhindered to feed and breed. It’s perfectly possible to still build ..

Thanks, enjoying this seed!

first 2 bosses are on the starter island with bonemass and moder on nearby islands. havent played enough to find the last.

fire auras work through floors

wow thats a cool feature

It’s OdinYou can’t interact or anything he just turns up to see how you’re doing occasionally

course not. you want to play what the devs intended. that's how i want to play games like dark souls. i don't want an easy mode because the game loses a lot of its appeal then. i also understand why s..

@Dave@ has the right idea for the very beginning of the game. A tiny base near the sacrificial stones.All the considerations mentioned in the other responses are important but a suitable location for ..

Tunneling would be bad. People already exploit terrain changes to easily negate most raids.

I know it'd take a huge arse code overhaul and won't happen. But I'd still love it if it ever did :) As for circumventing the dangers -- people sadly do that with moats and dirtwalls already sometimes..

As much as I would absolutely be thrilled by this, the game isn't built that way, and I have come to terms with the fact that I will not be able to dig my home.

Always have a backup set of weapons and armor, never throw the last tier away. Draugrs have rare villiages in the Meadows, you need to find and destroy the corpse piles that respawn them.Trying to run..

Good advice, hazelrah.The build system does somewhat work like a real building would, you have to make sure things are stable otherwise it won't work.You can frame the floor, roof, and walls with supp..

blue means that the piece is 'grounded', it has the best structural support. from there how well the piece is supported goes from shades of green to to yellow to orange to red. beams can be uses to in..

Left shift lets you place pieces without snapping to the frame, it disables the snap-to function.Yes, red isn't good. There's a support system in the game. Blue is best, contact with the ground or a t..

Its during the opening, but i will ask.

Mine is 5 floor tiles.

Probably. Later when you have access to the bonfire definitely.Remember to put a roof over the fire so it doesn't go out in the rain.

Near enough you see the buff icon from it.

Geography: I tend to go for islands or peninsulas that are close to a bigger island so I can build an easily defensible base and a bridge to the big island so I can transfer ores easily. Always on the..

Still fairly new, but my 2 cents.Would never consider a starting camp except in the meadows and near the water.I started my camp by resurrecting a couple of abandoned farm buildings. Works out really ..
