House blew up.

[Mike]

Was playing this game, about 20 hours. Autumn day 3. I was in the house i built and out off nowhere it completely blew up with me inside it, I mean full on fiery explosion blew up. This killed my character, destroyed 95% of my house(all that was left was a small outer wall portion), my garage, both my vehicles and all the crops in my 9×9 plantation. Automatically advanced to the next day sending my to the hospital and saving. When I went back there weren't even materials on the ground... everything was just gone and my chickens were running loose, even though my coop and fence around it were intact. This has completely ruined my experience with this game and I will no longer be playing or recommending it.

Hello,

We are sorry to hear this but it can happen that if you have anything electrical in or on your house there is a small chance that electrical items can have a fault occur just as in real life and cause a fire.
Solar panels are usually the biggest culprit but refrigerators and other household appliances can also do the same.

It may be that we need to tweak how fast the damage escalates but without a video of your experience I can't tell whether you had time to use your fire extinguisher or not.

The developer will take a look at this and have it under consideration.

noted: no electric stuff in and around the house - so most of the things seem now obsolete
why would you implement such catastrophic events? that only frustrates people and will keep them from playing.

A repeat of what I wrote in another thread:

I know Ethan has a vision for his game. Some GTA-style elements can be surprising and fun, but what the developer finds entertaining might not be as enjoyable for the players.
I think most players dislike being punished by losing everything they’ve built, farmed, or grinded for.
On top of that, the game saves in that compromised state.
Are we supposed to have to back up the game files every morning just in case something goes wrong that day? Give us manual saves so those of us who don't want our hard work blown to bits can undo bad outcomes without losing a whole day's progress.
