Invasions and resources

[An_Irate_Gerbil]

These invasions need to be optional.
They almost wipe my base every time, there is not enough time between them to fix everything, replace lost NPCs, make all new gear. and once you have exhausted all the iron on the island. there is no way to replenish your gear.
I've tried building the ship builder, but it never gets finished in time, then destroyed. this feels like its intentionally hard.
Along with access to rope and fibres early game being a problem as the resources it takes to make anything in this game feels far too realistic, it is a game, that should be fun to play, now this feels like a chore, I'm hesitant to play it anymore
Anyone else getting this feeling too?

yes, it is too stressful for those that want a reasoably calm. or maybe even raidfree game. We need difficulty settings, as a lot like what it is now aswell, dont want to take away from them, just.. add for us:)

the game shouldn't stress you out every time you hear that damn horn blow.
Im about to start getting PTSD from the thing going off every 5 minutes it seems lol

I don't mind getting the horn, it does interfere with my game though, but I just pause until I get back to it 😊

Difficult scales with your population.
Just today successfully complete first year survival solo. No vilagers at all.
Fishing + mushroom gathering + cave crawlers meat hunting + flax gathering.
- Killed water stone boss on third day;
- build barracks on day 6;
- crafted linen cloth armor on day 12;
- created one handed iron axe on day 16
- killed bear on day 17

Basically adding villagers makes your game easier if you know how to organise their work time.
If you have more than 20 villagers you definitely need pay close attention to combat and defence options.
More vilagers = more enemies spawn on each blood moon and incursions.

Ironically playing solo most dangerous threat is Smolkres. This nasty small creatures eat basically EVERYTHING.
Food, sticks, coal, stones, even iron...

lol invasion is easy as hell. Just build hedge wall around, add barrrack with 3x two handed and one watchtower

ship builder gives you only one small boa. other islands doesnt have anything than flax wood and sticks

Yes they are a nuicance for sure :D

However, I want to build a nice village.. no point without villagers. U want to make ut pretty, and place buildings in a sensible manner. Not really possible when you have to hurry up gettung stuff buildt.

It is not that I cant fight, In my first game through winter, I survived everything and lost noone.. but the place was a mess, and I just felt stressed out.

I would like the mobs to remain around the spawners ( with a not too big aggrofield), and I can go get them when I feel like it. My village left in peace.
