For everything else, I recommend mods.

That's BS though. I have to worry about rain rotting an uncovered dock, and manually put every single thing into chests when I get back and click the "craft" button 400 times when I want to build more than one of something and still have to wait on the craft timer and manually plant every single carrot and manually pick every single carrot, and build actual scaffolding to be able to build high because the snap-placement system is designed to be as tedious as possible, and literally had to build two pickaxes just to have enough durability to be able to mine out like half the copper in a vein because the devs are obsessed with durability... I have to be constantly living in this "a real viking life would be tedious af, so this one is too!"

But they can't program the game to not let trolls literally just clip through walls?

The troll broke a lighting sconce. I have been upgrading my gear, so I literally don't have the copper to build a forge out here at this gate so that I can RE-build the sconce the troll broke. HEAVEN FORBID I be able to build the sconce at the forge I already have and just place it, like literally any other game or even real life. Nope. Gonna have to either break my forge, rebuild it out here, replace the sconce that broke, then rebuild my forge again back at my base, or I'm going to have to drag a cart out, mine copper, smelt it, and then build a temp forge again JUST to be able to put back a f*ing wall light that got broken by a weapon that clipped through a damn wall.

Look at that insane list of BS I'm going to have to go through to rehang a simple light because trolls just get to clip through walls and the game won't even let me just plant some gd carrots in peace.

And if a game NEEDS mods to not be trash, the devs need to rethink what they're doing.
