Long time player from when the game first launched here. Decided to play again after the Mistlands update and what the heck?

Back at launch finding resources was a huge challenge. I mean when you found some tin nodes or a skeleton cave you felt good about yourself. Took me weeks to get enough cores to make a smelter.

Heck, I remember it took weeks and several boat trips for me to find a village that housed flax. But when I did it was a good feeling.

Now I can’t go 10 feet without bumping into resources galore. My map looks like a pin cushion with so many things marked.

Please, if you are going to make this game Candyland, at least make an option to go hardcore or something.

I’m 99% sure you’re just remembering things wrong. My main world is the same one I’ve made since about a month after the game first released 2 years ago, and I haven’t noticed any difference between the areas I generated back then and the new areas I generated while exploring mistlands.

Flax was always a 20% spawn chance at a village, and it still is. My first village I raided all the way back in March 2021 had flax, and another one that I raided before I had 5 totems did as well.

As for surtling cores, I didn’t even need to leave the starting island for the 10 I needed to continue, there were always about 2-5 per dungeon and there were plenty of dungeons around to get that amount.

The only stuff that really changed was that they added more minor POI, but most are irrelevant resource wise (or house entirely new resources) except for a rare fuling stone building that holds 1 totem.

You’re just remembering your experiences with bad rng, as the major progression structures haven’t really been touched
