I've done much playthroughs. Always 100% fresh with no abusing or exploiting of any such (I run back to corpse and sail my haul home).

I've done self hardcore mode, not really that bad if you're upgrading gear (Still, i always skip bronze and silver armors tho). Root armor isn't worth the trouble and time. Fenris (fur) isn't worth the likely very large time consumption, because there is hardly any dungeons for it (or maybe it is really cheap to make, i don't think it was). Farming is hardly even worth the fraking time. By the time you got the veggies coming in at a rate equal or greater then consumption you can be already 2 tiers ahead.

I did see that Mistlands recipes take older foods tho. Sadly they STILL won't let you grown a good deal of things. Also, lets not forget how stupid it is that your max HP and stam is in decline as soon as you eat the damn food (they got it backwards, and nobody wants either way). With 1/3 the time left you're already fraking basically missing 1/2 your stats. Having to Eat with around 10mins still to freaking go!!.



Deer boss you just murder on day 1 with a torches. This is freaking sad. More sad considering it wield lightning. Probably just carry multiple bone-picks till you get iron (yep skip bronze cause you can repair a a quick-built-workbench-shack).

Tree Boss ... i guess burn. Probably can just rush this guy with nothing but torches too. Likely needs a boat tho. The opening between his attacks are just asking for a elbow to the chest, torches with sad-food buffs will work fine.

Bonemass seemed to be nerfed. He hardly summons anything to the point of why bother. He was easy enough before. I only heard of fools having trouble with him (using arrows, no blunt, no healing or poison resist). He summoned 3 skeletons after over a dozen throws, this time.

Moder is just gonna be trash forever. Even Bethesda does dragons better.

Yag, I had constant adds this time, it made for a much more interesting fight when even fraking Lox's are joining the fight. Yag might be the only good fight ... unless you're going to shoot 600 arrows into him... or he gets stuck.

Still doing Mistlands.



Players should need to step into a portal taking you to the boss stage. Probably best to require materials to open the portal, rather then some pedestal ppl abuse inside. Prevent pets to enter. Preventing building.

The only scary biomes is Mountain (cause the wolves are insane, more so 2-star). The Mistland is freaking good combat too, but the tight and rough terrain and the mist snuggles to close to your camera/vision. Sad, cause the mistlands look beautiful.

Another problem is only being able grow select plants only in certain biomes.

Also will say it is annoying to have to use certain weapon types. I've never been a fan of blunt weapons, but I feel stuck with them till mid-late game so not to waste materials/time.
