Is it grinding heavy ?

[Anonymous]

Supposing I don't want to build a megastructure but simply a decently sized place, does the loop rely heavily on repeating the same boring actions or is it mostly exploration ?

Building is pretty easy. Wanna make it out of wood? Make a felling axe, gather materials, profit. Wanna make it out of stone? Grab a pickaxe, go hit a mountain for a few minutes, profit.

Do what I do, just find a random house that's already pre-built and move in.

Yeah thanks guys, about the question though...

I'm not that far in, but seems my ugly box home is fine. The quests are sending me all over the place.

And does it feel like a running simulator or do you feel on an adventure ?

:) at one point I was emulating Bilbo Baggins and thinking ,"I'm going on an adventure!" lol. It's a lot of fun especially once you have your glider and grappling hook.

I've never associated grinding with building but rather with obtaining exp, so I'm really not sure what you're asking.

Here's a good video on how to build a beginner house. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCDSaNFOWds

I stopped at building a ceiling over the first floor. The roof is only for cosmetics. I was level 2 when I started it, and I was level 2 when I got the ceiling over the first floor.

I'm not the best at combat, but ranged kiting works well. You will be fighting a lot.

Depends on your standards. If you want the nicer-looking wooden floor, for example, you'll have to spend some time on choppiing down trees in the shroud, which kinda sucks cos there's just not as many trees in the shroud as there are outside. If you're happy with the "starter" wooden floor and walls - there's LOTS of trees in the area where you'll be directed to build your first base, probably takes you all of ten minutes or so to get enough trees to build your first little house. Ditto with stone walls and floors. Ditto with the roof options.

If you want the nicer-looking stuff, you'll have ton invest more time since, e.g., for a simple straw roof, you'll only need fiber, but for the nice shingle roof, you'll need wood and tar (iirc) to craft the building blocks. For the plain, gravel-looking stone floor, you'll need just rocks. For the kinda nicer-looking "mushroom" floor, you'll need rocks and mycel (iirc). Basically, it'll be as grindy as you make it. :)

I was merely pointing out if building was important. This wasn't about how to build lol.

Thank you for the video. Yeah what I call grind is whatever is too much looping to get an end result.

Alright good input thanks

[nach0man]

you can build as big as you want to but ive had no issues so far, stuff you can harvest around your base respawns after a couple hours and theres no shortage of materials.

so no, its not grindy in the early stages at least
