Man really gotta make a guide for boats. Yes boats do have an anchor. It's just not manually used it automatically anchors when you jump off the boat after using the rudder

You underestimate the power of complaining. You know what happened when No Man's Sky added difficulty options? People complained that other people were using them.

I think the loss comes from less community engagement. I have seen several swamp guides, you have the body rescue crew, youtubers giving really nice tips & tricks, relatable memes about plains deathsquito's in trollgear on reddit, etc. I think that all disappears with difficulty sliders.

The game just becomes much more individualistic. If you struggle in the swamp, you won't ask for advice or watch a youtube vid about the swamp. You just lower the difficulty. You won't relate to an otherwise funny meme about deathsquito's since you never experienced that nasty sting and subsequent deathrun in a too early stage.

That being said, it reduces the number of ragequitters and complainers, wich definately is a plus. There will be no tension within the community to either nerf a biome or criticize a nerf. In that sense it's a positive, polarisation among the community is reduced, but at the cost of relatability and a shared sense of comradery and struggle.

On a smaller scale this will probably lead to more discussion amongst your group of friends as to what configuration you can all agree on. Or you just make it hard and let friends new to the game and ignorant of settings suffer 😜

no mans trash isnt really a game i would use a good example of game design tbh^^

Couldn't you just adjust the slider to your liking? It's an OPTIONAL setting, after all.

it devalues the game experience if you can turn difficulty off at any point without consequences for me personally. not my type of game anymore simply. its why i never played ark for example. thankfully there is plenty of others.

Build a moat. Just wait until you defeat the Elder and you start getting nightly visits from tag-teams of trolls. They can tear thru stone walls like butter. The only thing that defeats them is an 6-8m high earthen wall, and even then they can reach over the top and smash stuff within 8m.

Boats have physics....... things in motion tend to stay in motion. Boats will not stop on a dime like a car with good tires.

I know but they would be nice additions to the base game.

I know you say "non modded" in your post, but if you ever feel like giving mods a shot, there are several that offer a nice array of extra building pieces.

OdinArchitect is great.
BuiltIt and CLutter both have nice pieces, but if someone loads onto your world without the mod, anything built with them disappear.

There are a few others, too.

Boats will stop and stay when there's no one in them, unless you or something else pushes them around. When you get it where you want it, jump out. But they are aggro magnets, so I usually destroy mine to get the materials back before something else does it.

A fine wood wall would be nice.

The mod "plant everything" will let you do as it says with the cultivator. The devs have no plans to let you plant bushes because they want you to go out of your base and forage.

you can turn off "invasions" with the new sliders as you wish. no more complain posts allowed now. these settings allow you to do what you want when you want at anytime. no more risk. no more death penalty. no more raids. metal teleport. so can stop makeing these threads for good now.

I agree; I'd love to see a lot more building options for each materials, been missing on drawbridges in vanilla for a long time now, even if there are some kind of "workarounds". And I'd be so happy if we ever got the ability to at least plant decorational plants. It's so disheartening I'm unable to places vines and bushes onto walls and in the gardens. Also the smaller trees. Just ask any of the content creators on youtube that have to rely on mods or the console.
I tried the console once but the placement scared me off :/
And since there's a lot of updates atm, I'm trying to stay off from PlantEverything (another reason for this is that mobs would even attack tree-saplings that I planted outside my base).

What are these sliders you talk about ? I'm running a previous beta version so that my graphics mods function properly. IS this something new or something planned ? I kinda like things just the way they are, tbh.

They're not finalized yet. That's just a teaser.

Please tell me that the "value" you speak of here isn't "I beat valheim" like its a sort of brag and because of difficulty sliders its no longer a brag...
