I cant get into all the crafting base building

[Shade30Seven]

I know it sounds lazy. But i just wanna fight things, pvp, and big boss fights! looks like it all here and im sure its a good game once you grind all this! but the survival aspect idk i just cant get over it!
I don't want to go all over the map and look for things that i have know clue were it is and pull up a wiki to find it!
I dont want to spend 30 hours building a castle.
like i said lazy AF, casual! is there a way to bye pass this or do I have no choice but to go chop down trees and pick at stones?

You don’t have to go overboard with the castle building but yes you will have to go chop some trees and mine some stone no way to get around that unless you spin up your own server and give yourself the materials.

You'll have to build a castle, but you won't need to spend 30 hours doing it if you don't want. Build a big box and throw everything into it. Subdivide it with empty doorways when you get the floors because you get a 25% cost reduction if a crafting station is in a room with matching floors (so a forge goes in a room with forge flooring). Empty doorways count as walls for dividing rooms up, but don't really restrict movement so you still have a big open box to run around.

The biggest crafting sink is the first hour or two when you have to go through the tutorial steps of setting up your stations and using wooden palisades until the game unlocks the real castle pieces for you. After that it's mostly killing bosses and tinkering with your castle when you're bored.

It's also worth noting that unlike most survival crafting games, you can dismantle any of your buildings for a 100% cost return and many of them can be moved around freely. So you can make a jumble and if it bothers you later, just move it around.

So in short, you want to play a survival game, but cut out the meat of the game to just do the fighting? You could always just join an active server, ask to join a clan and mooch. Some people don't mind that.

If you're playing solo, increase the drop rates of everything.

If you start you own server, aka, playing alone, you can set that everything is free and you can build the ♥♥♥♥ to give you the gear you want but the entire thing is about unlocking and farming the stuff you need to defeat a boss, remove that and I don't see where the challenge is.
