Creative Mode

[Syberius Rex]

Please make a creative mode! Enshrouded has a really good building system, so it's kind of a bummer that this mode isn't available yet.

[DeLindsay]

We NEED this really bad!

[Lailantie]

I second this. I don't like (and I'm truly bad at) fighting or jump and run, and I only got this game because of the awesome building mechanics. I would also love to see difficulty settings, so that those who complain that fighting is too easy would have a challenge in hard mode, and those who constantly die could choose an easy mode. Thank you.

People build this kind of things without creative mode - yes it took more time. But isn't it more satisfactory, when you also had gathered all the stone and wood by yourself like a builder in former times? And most ressources like wood, stone, clay and other things you can gather without extensive fighting?

I so agree with getting creative mode and Lailantie I get you. I feel the same

^^^ King of his own Castle ! And you can do this without a fancy bloated creative mode ? Im buying in now.

The game needs to streamline building somehow. The creative part can be overshadowed by the absurd amount of time some things are achieved. Wasting time for the sake of wasting time, isn't gameplay... It's grinding...

There is a Nexus mod that basically makes the game creative mode. It gives you everything in the game. It's called Nines Sandbox Save Files. It works but it is difficult to install properly. I had to install the files in 2 separate locations to get it to work.

There are people who enjoy the grind though, so there needs to be a compromise, not an outright change.

Probably the same people who also like to play mobile gatcha games. Grinding is a means to an end, the crave for power and progress.

Personally, I don't play creative mode in any game. To me, it feels like cheating if you didn't have to work to gather mats or unlock tiers and tech trees. Doesn't matter if it's this game or any other. You don't value something that you didn't work for.......

[Liralen]

As long as creative mode is optional, I don't see why anyone should care. In fact, I think it's good for the game, by show casing what is possible, such as:

It also helps the devs improve their Steam concurrency rating, which leads to more visibility of the game. If you think that forcing them to collect all the mats would do that too, you're wrong. They'll go to another game that does have a creative mode like Rising World, which is also voxel based as well as has a mode that enables them to modify the terrain before playing it.

Edited Note: and they can build anywhere, no flame altar required. And for builders, although I used Ark as an example, I don't recommend playing it now. It's gotten really weird there and it's not voxel based, the terrain is hard coded and can't be modified, the official structures are ugly, and are designed to be unstable, unless you place structures in the right order, etc.

[Storm Reaver]

And creative mode should be tied to your flame alter specifically.

[BecketsGD]

I would like a creative mode also. I plan to run the game fully, but after doing that. I just want to build. Its the sole reason I am playing the game, for the building

Keep in mind there are also supposedly some servers that stock almost unlimited blocks that I read on another thread/post a while back with also some may be using too.

Yes. Sort of.

Unlike Ark, your character in Enshrouded exists independent of the server. For example, I made an archer. Then decided to make a mage. My mage could join the same game that my archer created and has access to all the chests my archer has.

When we made a dedicated server, I could join it with my existing single player character, along with my character inventory. I could then join the dedicated server, put my inventory into chests there, then return to my single player game, where those items no longer existed (i.e., properly accounted for), then fill my inventory again and take it to the dedicated server.

Multiply that by 16 players, and it adds up, no cheats required.

Edited Note: Think about what a Youtuber builder with a few followers could do with that.

Of course they wouldn't build their uber build on the dedicated server, but rather in their single player game.
