Peaceful Mode

[Medbie]

It was mentioned some time ago, but I wanted to ask again: could there please be a peaceful mode? I want to just explore on the back of my ostrich, and to do so without worrying about nightfall. I appreciate that there is a no-raiders mode, but if a peaceful could be added, it would be so wonderful!

The game sort of breaks in peaceful mode, because some enemy drops are required to progress. But you can change the difficulty at any time, and if you set it to casual it is significantly easier. Especially once you start to get some armor and weapons :)

I certainly understand and appreciate that, but I am actually requesting a feature with no mob attacks at all, and without the quests. A free-style mode, if you will. I assume that your intent is more toward settlement and battling dynamics, and I have and will certainly play that way as well, but you've made such a nice world to explore that some of us would like to do only that now and again. I know I'm not the only one, as I saw it mentioned in discussions from some time back. Please do consider it for the future. (Thank you so much for taking the time to reply!)

I am a big fan of peaceful mode games but the fact that you can set respawn to you not losing anything makes this ok to play like that, and you can just go inside and sleep at night until 7am when the monsters go.

Again, I truly understand and appreciate that, and I'm playing like I do in Valheim by making a quick home to stay in overnight while I am out exploring. I guess, as much as I'm enjoying Necesse, I'm looking for a peaceful Minecraft exploration experience (or even a Valheim survival without dying) instead of a quest line or even settlement/resource management. And that is, of course, my problem, not that of the game. My love for randomly generated worlds gets the best of me, and I just want to explore and explore and explore. =D (Especially since I can do it from the back of an ostrich.) I'm certainly not trying to downgrade Necesse at all -- and am having fun with the gameplay as advertised, but I just want to let the developer know that some of us would love a freeplay option. (Thank you, too, for your response!)

Since I also increasingly prefer playing in a peaceful manner, I can very well understand and support your wish.

I play Necesse comfortably and without "visitors" and with good equipment it works quite well.

Thanks for your feedback! Now that my armor is better, and that I'm building quick shelters for the night when exploring, I'm finding the exploration is going better. (Still love the game for what it is, though, and am truly not trying to make it fit my needs rather than play it as it was meant.)

There isn't much to explore other than different layers of dungeon progression basically.
You visit different biomes and it's all roughly similar island layouts on the surface.
Underground is basically a dungeon of its own biome, the whole point is to mine things and find treasures to gear up.

Only when you build a settlement you mostly spend your time in the surface.

Once you get Miner NPCs, you can actually send them out using money to bring back ores that you want from any biomes you've visited I think. So you technically can skip some content in some ways by merely visiting a swamp or desert biome from the start, then go back and find or recruit a miner which are usually underground in those biomes asking for ores and gold...

This game doesn't have a extensive overworld tileset so to speak, for things like caves, villages, cities, etc, it's not at that level (yet) I think.
