I dunno, it feels to me like you just don't much like how the devs have constructed Valheim. You see the view and think about the game you would make, how you would change this one. But the devs have their vision, and that is what is important to them. Not your vision, the vision they have for the game. We sometimes think that we have a say in the game, but generally, not so much because for everything any of us or many of us want changed a certain way, there are many more that don't want to see that change. So who do they listen to? It's like a bunch of paparazzi standing outside the gates screaming at them - all the time.
There are things I really dislike, looking at you boats, but I know it's tough beans for me. I use a second world to portal metals. My choice just as it is everyone's choice. They have said they are not going to change that, period, yet world hopping is allowed so that's cool.
In fact you do not have to quickly make a base, you can spend a lot of time looking around but you have to wait a bit then to kill Eikthyr. Till then a picket fence works fine.
You can choose a seed you like, look it up if the randomness of it is annoying. Again, it's your game, no one is effected by it and it'll probably make your gaming more fun. Here is a hot tip, the seed FiddlyBits (written exactly as shown) is amazing. I don't know who discovered it but I just typed it in the generator and decided I had won the lotto.
Most my characters are swimming in cores, thistles, most stuff because I like to explore. Early toons just stand around at a spawner and smack GD's for a time while I drink tea. This game is quite fun as a process, probably less if one is in a hurry. It's a game, it's not important in my life, I can just meander around aimlessly as much as I want.
Yes the game is grindy but that IS the game. If you have ever thought about spending time living out in the wild, there's a lot to do to keep yourself fed, clothed, sheltered and prepare for battles. I personally think the devs did a great job on it, but again, that's just me. Granted, with close to 2400 hrs since launch, I may be a bit of an oddity. For me it's a world that I inhabit and journey through, at my own pace. That's a lovely thing.
Travel safe.
