I was such an idiot once, forgot to eat up after a boat ride upon reaching some swamp, got swarmed and killed. Rushed a return pretty much the same way, minimal gear, enough to build a portal, and managed to get myself killed again. That was an adventure to recover from...

But, recover I did, and I deserved both deaths, for being careless and impatient. Definitely more cautious and attentive these days. I like this aspect of the game. It manages to punish overconfidence and impatience without being inaccessible to those who are maybe not the most skilled, but who are smart and cautious and diligent. That combination of conditions really makes it feel rewarding.
