This game has a big problem that could be easy fixed

[RicWalker]

In my opinion Muck is promising. The chests, the day and night cycle, all in all nice potential.

the big but is the time management and the balancing.

Both make the game increadibly stressful and no fun for a solo player even on easy. And since Gronk is the first boss to encounter, just unplayable if you dont have incredible luck on chest opening AND playing on a seed where you know how to run to get every resource as fast as possible to get at least full mithril gear on first boss night. even than without the right combination of skills, gronk demolishes. Big Chunky was easier.

I played with the 3 difficulties and after thinking about them i think on top of the dmg and HP buff/debuff we need longer days and nights on easy and normal. and i mean significant. i would say the current length for gamer mode. +50% on normal and 100% of current on easy.
Longer days means more time to prepare for the night with less stress, longer nights means more gold for unlocks.

easy fix in my honest opinion.

The game is incredibly easy and boring on easy mode if you can't even manage to get anywhere there you are just a complete gaming failure please do not make everyone else drop to your own level by requesting nerfs/difficulty changes and put some time into improving or go away - thank you.

just get good, learn to play and stop whining about things that are fine

It could use some balance changes and yeah, actually making days longer wouldnt make things any easier but it would help to get ready for the night

before the last two patches i managed to get to day 100 and not gonna lie, it started to get boring after day 50 or so and i could have gone longer. But that run was on the same seed i played for a dozen runs and i was really lucky on the chests. And until that point it was super stressful.
Heck, i am a dark souls player. i know how to deal with frustation and stress. but THIS game gets me to sweat and high pressure as after an entire soccer/football game in RL!
I am good, But Gronk as night 5 boss is just stupidly hard, and the daylength is just way too short in my opinion to prepare for him unless you get incredible lucky spawns and chests.
This game is simple too much stress to be fun.

Gronk is easy. His only difficult attack is the two thrown blades, and if you have even a single speed upgrade it's trivial to dodge. Just back up as far as you can, then run to the side. Make sure you're going diagonally. Holding W and D while being slightly angled to the side is faster than just holding D while facing gronk.

yeah no at this point you have to be trolling muck stressfull?? on easy????????????????????

https://youtu.be/S0cvR0XHqlY video of me getting 3/4ths of the way through the gronk fight on gamer mode, the only reason I didn't kill him was the plethora of enemies that spawned during the night. If I were on day 4 and had an iron sword with a few more upgrades, AND it was on normal mode? would've been cake.

[Razorhunter]

Great to see this game's community is open to new ideas.

RicWalker, your idea makes sense, but imo only for easy difficulty. Easy should be relaxing while normal should be kept as-is, so maybe a 33%-50% increase in daytime for easy mode while the other difficulties stay untouched.

For Gronk, it sounds like you just got unlucky for how frequently he spawned. Fight him some more and he should become manageable. Pretty much what Godlyvexx said.
