I keep my markers to remember my occasional need to yolo, my forgetfulness when building even after several thousand hours.
Markers are excellent reminders but maybe a bit embarrassing for a newcomer to the game.

Very possibly as I said

I like Valheim for this reason you stop being observant; or fail to prepare = you prepare to fail.

Irongate as a company on the other hand rather less impressed with but they are trying so I have some more slack yet I can cut them ;)
