Help - Nonconsentual Updates
Help how do I play without updating please?
I don't want a dumb sleep timer again.
If I can't spend food to fast-forward time, food quickly becomes useless/pointless.
Can't I just play what I bought?

No, you cannot, because you do not have what you've bought yet, you're still getting what you bought, one update at a time.

I'm sure at some point people will mod out the things you don't like. Give it time.

Right click on the game in steam > Properties > update > set to what you want.
Turn off auto update and choose manual, or something else.

The two options there are:
Update always
Update when launch

I'm looking for the setting:
don't sneak into my house while I'm sleeping and update my stuff post-sale.

Why REPLACE the play button with the update button?
Do you pay by the button?
Come on.

Why do everyone keep suggesting that method? It does not work. Instead of play button, you have update button. Even if you have disabled auto updates.

if this sort of thing is an issue for you, you might want to reconsider buying games that are early access.

To add to this you do know almost any game you buy 100% complete from AAA publishers you do not buy the game you buy the right to play the game and at any time they can void,change, do WTF they want to do and you can't do anything about it.

Gamers will only stop getting screwed if they complain about it enough!

So you don't want all the building stuff, blueprints, added locations, added loot, added animals, expansions for Kelvin, binoculars, hangglider etc?

Just sleep when night falls? I don't understand the problem.

Anyway, the Hangglider ends all the long running to get to places. I love it. <3

And I'm looking forward to all the stuff they're going to add to make this even better than The Forest. :)

Yea you got it. :)
Losing the primary food sink in the game is worse than the minor novelties of indefensible building options, one-time consumable locations or events, and methods of travel probably inferior to the zipline gun. Now if I want to pay food to skip winter I have to AFK between sleeps? We shouldn't have to pay an RL time cost for it.
