getting killed and belongings being stuck

I really like the game as it has a great feel to it. I am only in the beginning having fought and concurred my first big enemy. I have built a great comfortable home and explored the surrounds.

I have died in a burial chamber once being surprised by the strength of multiple skeletons. I must have died another 10 times trying to recovering my items.
I finally started crafting everything again and and upgraded it and got my dead body back out.

Having found copper and tin and produced enough bronze to make some good weapons and a shield . Now encountering a troll or "the forest is moving " is not inevitable death.

So far I find the fighting controls and feedback not very good.

My workbench has maxed out at level 4 and I need the key for the swamp, so I need to face the elder. I have set up camp further north and set up a new base. I have made fire arrows and upgraded most of my weapons and armour.

My current problem A

To get to the elder I need to cross the freezing mountains. I can not make the portion to resist the freezing without bloodbags, from the leeches out of the swamp, which I am trying to get the key to .

Current problem B

Other option was killing a wolf and crafting warm clothing. Now that got me instantly killed by wolves and now all my good gear is surrounded by a pack of wolves with no chance to it back.....

Sometimes the abilities and weapons are completely inconsistent with the dangers. Both ways . Now, round the camp; the neck, skeletons and the gremlin creatures including more dangerous ones are only a hassle. It uses to be a fight for life and death. The next enemies seem to be swinging the other way again. this has made the game very frustrating and its hard to keep playing.

I wasnt suggesting retrieving your gear, you should let it go and make a new set. It's not going to help in that biome. Like I said going there at all that early was a mistake and trying to get your stuff back just isn't worth dying over and over.

Bosses don't just have one place you can summon them FYI. Might be worth looking for a different one if you got one totally surrounded by higher tier biomes.

mobs usually dont stick around especially if you died at night, night spawned enemies despawn.

Your mistake was venturing to the mountains at this point, you should've gone around. Mountains is considered "biome 4" intended to be visited after the Swamp.

The game has a lot of jank it is true and i myself complain a bout it a lot but you also need to understand the idea of how things are tiered and intended to be taken on. I dunno if you just stuck with leather armor or what but I recommend using troll leather armor, its faster to make than bronze which is not at all worth it for the amount of materials needed to make it, and is immediately obsoleted by iron armor. You should get a finewood bow to do a good amount of your work at this point. If you're really struggling, make the bronze atgier and use the alt (middle click) attack, this will stun enemies.
