Only 100 rooms in total?

[At@At]

I'm only on the 2nd island where u're trying to rebuild Furrowfeed but it says I have 3 rooms. The only rooms I made there are a small barn and a large sleeping area... The only other room I know of is the one u make at awakening island... Did I somehow accidentally make a 3rd room or does the game only give 100 rooms across all islands?

[Ryan Fenton]

Only 100 rooms in a single loaded zone. Meaning, 100 in furrowfield, 100 in the hub island, whatever.

Global limits would be 60 population managed. That is, people, animals, etc, 60 total, not including you.

What the heck? The game has the same limits as it’s console counterparts???

I hope modders can fix that. What a terrible moves by the devs to keep that limitation on PC.

[Ryan Fenton]

Yes - do you know why?

It's the builder's board.

That board where you see screenshots and can visit islands and such.

Those islands are from the other console versions.

In order for everything to remain compatible and not crash the console users, the data you create can't break their limits.

Mods MAY be able to fix this - but not both that and being fully online for everything.

Eh... simple solution would be to give PC its own builder board community. Ah well, I guess they didn’t want to put too much effort into this or else console users would feel they have the inferior version (which they do).

they dont... its the same version... grow up

I finally figured it out... Fields count as rooms too. So do I get to choose what counts as a room in the future? Or is it always first come first serve, anything with a door and a height of 2 is a room, plus other stuff like fields?

[Ryan Fenton]

Fields work as rooms with fences as 1-height walls, yeah.

Don't know if there's a limit to the amount of "sets" like scarecrow/crops, pools, dining tables, etc within all your rooms.

So, once you're reaching that limit, start planning out what you want, plus a bit of slack to match your overall design with some room leftover to play.

Oh, and if you want more islands to play with - make a copy of your save, then keep a save for each thing you want to build. Then copy back and reload the game to swap.

100 isn't that harsh a practical limit with the 60 population cap sharing them all.

You just can't keep working ghost towns to try on the same map.

Well, until modders possibly up the limits on stuff - then you might make a China historical simulation or something.

ive finished this game on the switch... you wont make it to 100 tbh its overkill

[Ryan Fenton]

Well, folks like to fill out their builderpedia, make all the rooms. There's like 200+ room variants that you can unlock. It's not hard to find that you'd want to keep several of those variants as interesting things to try stuff with.

One other trick is just taking the door off stuff you're not using.

I found that this video was extremely helpful in explaining how to make “rooms” that aren’t actually counted as rooms. I used it to add closets and other cool features to what would have just been a boring, normal-looking room.

Or because it's nice for the PC users to be able to use the islands from PS4/Switch users given that they're probably going to be the vast majority of the userbase?

In addition to the video that was already linked (which I recommend as well, it has some clever tricks and tips), BenXC on youtube has a video which goes into detail on all the other limits the game has, including things like how many storage chests, lockers, etc you can have before they stop working. Almost everything that has a function has a limit.

But I think it's not as bad as it sounds for most players.

I also enjoyed watching Ben’s videos, which got me extremely hyped to discover DQB2 was coming to Steam.

I had already assumed the console limitations on rooms, storage, etc. would be carried over with the port, but what really disappointed and prevented me from buying this game again was their ridiculous decision to include Denuvo - a mod and performance killer (among other things).

I mean, what the hell is the point of introducing your game to PC if you’re going to make modding it a complete nightmare? It goes against the entirety of what most people get into PC gaming for: customization and modding to create an experience you can’t get via console gaming.

The only Island I was getting close to the room limit was the isle of awakening, but yeah on the story islands 100 rooms is pure overkill especialy on the small spot you got to build stuff.

With extreme micromanagement skills, it can be done. Don’t ask me how I know, lmao
