At least rock/wood gets much quicker with mid-to-lategame gear, Ill agree with that.

But I feel you didnt do much with the woods, 10 stacks are very quickly used up when building, running fires, crafting/coal.

And even then its like 20 minutes of idle gameplay though. You do talk like its a boring chore you just wanna get quickly over with, so you can enjoy the actual game. And I think thats the problem, it doesnt have to be that way.

Other games are worse, but some online games are so insane you basically have to be addicted to play them. I think thats a pretty horrible standard to say "at least were better than that".

Oh and hitting rocks? Lol, c;mon, as soona s you start mining for silver....you'll generate 1000's of rock, just gotta make sure you transport em....

Shoulda been more precise, with "hitting rocks", I ment ores more than I mean rock; wood/rocks are more a tedious early game thing. Silver mining is pretty bad and takes forever; thats actually what made me start modding my game (just increased rock/vein damage for now).
