Mods/fixes for difficulty?

[greatgodom]

I loved the previous game and have been considering getting this one, I was certainly counting down to release, but the biggest thing holding me back has been a ubiquitous feeling from those i have heard from that the game is really really easy and constantly spawns items/food at you. This has put me off it.

Are there any mods out yet, or plans to fix this soon? I really don't care about a lack of caves/dungeons, I just cant play a survival game without survival elements.

I'll be honest, the first game wasn't really a pillar of difficulty either so I was expecting that when I bought this one. No mods from what I've seen for this game that limit or adjust item spawns. It was a thing that persisted throughout the first game and it may be the same for this game. It's still pretty early into EA so maybe they will eventually add more difficulty settings or custom settings to allow people to make this game harder if they want.

Also define what kind of survival aspects you are looking for. Because there is very basic things there for both games; starvation and dehydration. But these 2 things are disabled by default for the current difficulties so you have to toggle them in custom settings. Besides that, there isn't really any item management either. It's probably not what you are looking for in terms of survival. If you are looking for games where you have to nurse a sprained limb or an infection for a week and things of this nature, this is the wrong game. While I do want harder settings for this game, it's more of lax survival game.
