So theres not much new content ?

I set myself "rules" every playthrough. !00 Days before/between killing each boss so that I spend time exploring my maps, building a very suitable locations and stockpiling resources at a leisurely pace. During these play-throughs I give myself a 3 Life limit. 3 Deaths and I start over. I've had tonnes of fun, discovered some gorgeous seeds with great quality of life; ie can walk to the Merchant from starting area with little difficulty, and some where the second boss was a grueling trip.

It seems like the next biome is coming pretty soon, so you'll have a new boss in a month or two.

Short answer depending how much you already did. No it's not. Wait for the first real big update.

No

If you remember what normal progression was like then I would say figure out your answer based on whether you want more of that. Progression still stops at the same point but a bunch of things have been added largely from swamp progression onwards.

So if you played from scratch it would take a fairly lengthy stretch of very familiar early-game stuff to get there. I do not think the current content added since the start of early access is a substantial enough reason on its own to start another playthrough. It is a reason, but if doing all of the stuff to get there does not interest you then you have a good chance of burning out before you see it.

If you can't wait until whenever Mistlands is coming then bringing friends or using mods could spice things up. Or maybe tailor the game to move through early progression faster.

If all you care about is bosses, then no.

If you care about the world, the exploration, the moments of the sheer beauty of a sunrise at the coast, or dusk in the mountains, building a nice home, all of that together...

...then definitely yes. You shouldn't have stopped. ;)

Have not played the game since it first came out after completing everything. Game concept has a lot of good in it. Unfortunately it feels like there is just not enough new content that has been released since then for reasons.

Also, am either over looking or it's not implemented yet but the settings to stop or greatly reduce how often your home gets invasion event because you decided to put more time home is not available.

I can see both sides of the coin with regard to not enough content with all the millions of copies sold vs. new content coming when it's done argument. Will prob continue to wait another several months or a year and then see if true mod support is out as well as the direction the devs decide to go with actual content.

If you start a new world and character it might be. There is some new building materials and some monsters added aso. And if you take it slow, Mistland might be finish before you beat the fifth boss.

Over 1000hrs and still having a great time. The answer is yes, just don’t rush thru, die and get frustrated. Cheers.

Just start a new character and world from scratch... make some rules how you wanna play.

For me, this time, I'm not hopping between worlds to cheese ore through portals, and am more mobile rather than trying to stick to one base.

Or download some mods. There's a pretty cool class based mod out there.

Good luck! I think this is a great way to play. I cheesed my second toon as well the same way. Sure, he geared up fast and took down bosses in fairly short order. But there was not much of a feeling of accomplishment in doing so. So, I rerolled with a new personal ruleset as well. I am enjoying it much more.

i guess knowing when you last played and what the bosses you fought might help us answer .. or when you last played?

No new bosses but new items to make, misc stuff like armor stands and a lot of stuff from the caves update from the mountains. Im not sure if its super worth making a new char yet if you're still craving a ton of new content, in which case wait for mistlands. Frost Caves is a fun side thing but not much to chase except an OK armor set.
