Early game random Dragon Attacks needs nerfing!

[Cubez]

While I absolutely LOVE the game so far, and don't mind seeing Dragons flying overhead, they really need to Nerf the random attacks. Especially early game. Is there any way to avoid it or repel it? I hid under a bridge and the poison still got me xD

I'm assuming there's nothing I can do early on to defeat it besides just dying to get the aggro off. Any ideas or suggestions? Also yes I understand it's Early Access and Dragons are the main part of the lore. There's gotta be a better way.

Any help will be appreciated!

So I've played co-op where it was constantly attacking and have a solo world, the dragon doesn't actually ever attack if you don't go to the castle (too late for your current run but interesting)

Yeah the AOE spam is aggravating as hell. It causes my entire base to be unusable for two minutes as I wait for the poison barrage to subside and the puddles to go away.

I sort of agree, but more because I sometimes sit afk a little bit while I have a mass amount of stuff crafting and the game doesn't have sound when it's in the background, I look back and I'm being slapped around by something randomly or a dragon is bombarding me lol.
It's not a big deal but they do need to be cut back a bit. They tend to only happen at my bases, so I just teleport to a different one when it happens.

i have not been to the castle yet and i'm playing solo in single player game and i get dragon poison rain every 15-30 mins or something.

I think the Dragon Attack itself isn't the issue, but the frequency of it, as is true for many of the other random events. Your base getting attacked by orcs, dragons attacking you, or even just randomly getting attacked in the wild by orcs/goblins out of nowhere. It just happens way too often and quickly feels a little intrusive.

There should be a world option to regulate how often these attacks happen or something along those lines. I still haven't died yet cause thankfully I'm pretty experienced with games like these, but I already had a few close calls, so I imagine for a player that's new to the genre this would probably be extremely discouraging.

make your house near the starting area not far from the church, dragon never attacks there.
