This Ever Happen to You too?

Hello, everyone! While we are waiting for Hearth and Home to be released, I'm going through house and after house, planning and dreaming. Today I started in a new area and made my Dock, a few houses and looked at my mini map and saw a tiny blip. Woohoo! A Perfect place for a Lighthouse!! As I got closer I saw how tiny it truly was, but a few stone will fix that, I'm up for the challenge! But then I got closer and saw on something no bigger than "Thistle Island" from a post on Reddit, and a Boar. One, lonely Boar and nowhere to go! The water was even taking over what land there was and it I couldn't bear seeing that.

I immediately got to making the island bigger and thought, it's going to be to out in the open water on this lump of nothing, I spawned a few trees, planted some grass and gave it some Mushrooms. But then I thought, I can't make my Lighthouse, it won't have anywhere to run from the Fire!!. So the Island got bigger. I added even more land and raised up the land so the water wouldn't take it over. Then I thought...Okay! I'm happy. Hmm, it will be lonely all by itself. I spawn it a friend and more Mushrooms. All in all it took 3 hrs and I was almost giddy. As for my Lighthouse? I'll find another place. No worries.

I returned to land and continued to build my little town. Not even 3 minutes later...."Eikthyr Rallies the Forest!" Dude, no!! You've GOT to be kidding me? Didn't you see what i just did? lol I just made an island and stopped a boar from dying of drowning on a tiny patch of dirt, and gave it a friend so not to be alone. I even Spawned things and I promised myself I wouldn't do that on this Seed! Funny, ironic...whatever. I got a giggle out of it. That was my evening hehe. Anyone else have that happen?

what a nice thing to do LOL even pixel critters need some love.
id likely do similar if i found one in the same situation.
timing seems, from the 2 characters ive made and played fairly consistent. raids happen after certain amount of game time giving you time to have at least built a camp.
i dont know about most but i waste a lot of time exploring first before deciding on home.
my next start with hearth and home ill try to cut that short some and at least make a solid base camp for the first boss.

I too have built little bridges to save "trapped" deer & boar :) I love the idea of a lighthouse, I will have to build one!

It's weird how the deer don't attack you.. considering he is a giant deer god.. which is what I said when I first saw him.

Not exactly like you describe. What came of the event? The island bases I have made have been fairly immune to events, even if they do trigger.

Don't get dramatic Eruelest--your post was fine, The other guy was just being pissy about clickbait titles. It's not difficult to be a little more clear in your titles when you make a post. Don't be discouraged, just take it as constructive criticism, despite the delivery. You're fine, keep posting if you want to. At the end of the day, anyone can choose to click on a post or not no matter what the title says. Don't take it personally--in fact, there's my life advice when navigating trollish forums/comment threads like here on Steam or on Youtube. It's not personal, it's just people acting out because they're "anonymous". A dude talks about proper writing--maybe that same dude should also temper the attitude with courtesy, to have a greater impact instead of coming off as a whiner. That's my opinion, anyway.

Eruelest - your tale of adventure is the kind of stuff that makes open world games interesting. Negative responses seem to come from people that are tired of the game and just like to pick, pick, pick.

Aww, thank you Chino,Latcady and us271934 for the encouragement. This is my first "Survival Game'' and I'm still getting used to things. I thought perhaps I'll go down the coast a bit and maybe build up the ground or maybe try to build on one of those huge rocks for the light house. Wanted to post some screenshots and a story after I finish my Village, but not sure where to post it. I know it will be after H&H. Still looking for Haldor because lately I've seen a lot of beached Fish and would love to get a Fishing Pole. Gawd I love this game. SO beautiful. Just sneaking around and looking at things makes me happy lol.

Sorry it was late when I wrote this last night. The Event was a few Boar and Neck attempting to hit the buildings. The Deer were grazing until I lit a campfire. The Event happened after I returned to my base building on land. ( I had left the Boar Island) I didn't realize I was making "click bait", I was just trying to relay a weird thing that happened after I thought I did something "good". (Building an Island for a lone Boar stuck in the middle of nowhere). And I felt it was like bad Karma because i was attacked when i got to my base. I guess we aren't supposed to be here at all. It's their land and anything we do is a disturbance in the balance here. It was my first time being attacked and it was the timing of it. I thought it was a giggle because I spent the night making an Island for a Boar. I'm obviously not an English major and I write like I am speaking. I'll just read other's posts and keep things to myself. Sorry I posted and upset you all.

I think what Kestar is saying is that you made a click bait thread.

But seriously what happened when the event triggered?

you are more or less free willed, you dont have to click on sth just because you cant figure out the topic from the title

You're arguing for the sake of arguing.

My advice is reasonable and it is applicable in life in general, not just steam forums. Learn to write and give a meaningful title/topic ffs. Too many people on this forum have no idea how to write, it's just annoying.

:} Perhaps not the same, but I have named my ever-returning Greyling and now talk to him when he pops around while I am working on my base. I think I'm going a bit 'funny' because of the isolation of my island paradise. :steamhappy:
