Difficulty options

Threads are being created asking whether the devs will implement difficulty options.

The devs have already discussed such a feature, and also think it would be a nice addition. However, it still is just an idea which is considered for the future, but no final plans are made yet.

Therefore, please feel free to discuss about and suggest possible difficulty options in this thread. Also note, difficulty settings don't necessarily have to be the standard ones like "Easy", "Normal" and "Hard" (which are mainly adjusting Ai difficulty, and the player's vulnerability), but can also toggle specific features of the game, e.g. "No-Portal Mode", "Creative Mode", "Night Mode" or similar.

Option to disable portals
Game should have an option to disable portals completely imo. Travelling the world and making temporary bases is a big part of the fun.

I think that this sort of thing should be an option you can click off on world creation. "Portals available or not - Portals allow ore/metal travel or not"

I see this as a polarizing item in the community.

There is the option of not building portals if you don't like them

Ok guys, next time a chocolate is on the table, just pretend it's not there. It's obviously the same as if it wasn't.

Same idea....
''I can't restrain myself from eating chocolate that is around'' Solution? Don't buy chocolate, or hide the chocolate you have that is tempting you.

It actually is. If you are running a server anyways you may want rulesets to make sure others don't use portals either.

As a dude trying to drop a few of the covid pounds... and a wife who loves chocolate... I can confirm that this guys' analogy is accurate

This is why in another thread about portals: I F'ING GUARAN DAMN TEE YOU that 99% of the firm advocators for "no ore/no metals travel through portal" guys will be lining up with the rest of us cheesies the very millisecond that a mod comes out that allows ore/metal portal travel.

Because of your exact analogy. LOL

Are you implying you have an unrelenting and irresistible desire to pick up and eat all chocolate in your general vicinity? Because that's not normal behavior. Most people have self control.

I never said that, I said it's not the same thing as if its not there. And it isn't. Go read some articles about basic psychology.
