The red spot (like lava) is a joke

[PTKDWA]

It shouldnt kill you in a blink of an eye. I'm wasting my time in order to retrive my body (5th times now) because of the fricking downhill, just keep on sliding into the fire pit.

EDIT:
It's good guys, I retook the lost stuff, now I'm a king in the castle... king in the castle.

Skill issue.

Yep I gave up trying to retrieve my body from lava hillside after the third attempt. I'm playing the game for the crafting and building though. Other people might like this punishing mechanic. In the future they could maybe have a 'losing no items on death' option. Let people play the game they want.

Why not mine to it if its on the side of a hill?

The dig spot remains though. Dig until you are about to die from shroud then continue digging. Alternatively, there is no reason to not just dig till you die. Your corpse doesn't disappear. I spent like 45 minutes getting my body back when I first started the game, because at night I wandered into a fort with a lot of level 3's that 1 shot me if I didn't have wolf meat in my system haha. I know the pain, but there are ways around eveyrthing, get creative, it's a voxel world!

So give yourself 30 seconds to escape the shroud, then go back for another 5 minutes...
Or, depending how far into the game you are, increase your flame rank or drink a shroud potion for an extra 2 minutes.

Critical thinking is excellent for problem solving.
I agree that it is frustrating, but if you haven't used your head in an attempt to work around the thing killing you... that is on you.

Okay but if you can mine to it then it shouldn't take 5 minutes to get to it also you can extend the mist time.

Or you could just use bombs

I'm only taking 5 points of damage a second in the lava pits
All I do is jump to minimize damage instead of standing in it

I haven't gotten to this point in the game yet... but I have learned something when exploring into risky places. Put all your important items in the HOTBAR. Those items will not drop when you die. I only leave mats and crap I've collected in my actual inventory. Any weapons I pick up along the way, if I have no use for them, I immediately salvage them.

I understand the frustration (and when I get to that point in the game, I may get frustrated too lol)... but to me, lava in any game should be basically instant death unless there is some kind of fire damage reduction gear/potion. Plus I look at it this way... if other players have managed to do it, so can I -- I may just need to change HOW or when I'm attempting to do "the impossible".

The OP is not talking about lava. You do not onyl take 5 dmg/tic in the red stuff lol.

[Omence072]

Flame filled pits and that red stuff are different. Lava should one shot, though.

I'm not sure if it's a graphics setting issue, but I'm running the lowest settings, and there are some spots where even moving forward carefully through the shroud, it's not visible at all through the fog, and only starts glowing when I'm on top of it (and thus dead).

Other areas, it glows or is visible from a fair distance.

An aura around where it is located that drains your shroud quickly (but not instantly) and with an accompanying visual effect would be great.

I have no issue with it mechanically, it's obviously meant to gate you from areas you shouldn't be going to at that point, it's just too easy to stumble into it in some places, and I can't imagine that was the intention. It should be a visible threat. I suspect the areas where you can just walk into it unknown aren't intended.

[Diavolossos]

die in another more accessible place and the items are then there

[VonFIDDE]

I like the red stuff, it's a very solid indicator that you need to level up the base.
