Is there a way to turn off that annoying autosave when you die?

[Ragosta tin Dei]

I'm only playing this single and apparently if you die you lose everything, you can't run back to your corpse and retake back your loot.

This is my 10th restart and my internet isnt stable enough for multiplayer.

[galadon3]

pretty sure you can turn off loosing your stuff on death

If you play on Peaceful or Easy Mode, you keep all your stuff on death. There's also mod that can do the same and mod that makes you drop your items instead of losing them upon death so you may be able to recover them if you're fast enough before they despawn. Don't see any mods that disable autosave upon death though.

If you play on hard mode you lose all your items on inventory . There is no reason to restart everytime though !. Even with a bad internet you can join discord channel so people there Will revive you within 5 mins. A lot of players take advantage of this help

Man you havta mod the normal features in that's pretty funny. Thanks I'll give it a try.

Having a discord just for unscrewing up your game's pretty hilarious tho. You'd think dev would've fixed that. I don't even play on hard I'm just playing on the default difficulty.

There is a rescue discord because on hard you don't respawn at all. You have to be picked up by someone else or you're finished. Maybe easy is more for you, you won't lose your gear on respawn.

[Ragosta tin Dei]

Just to ge this straight: The default mode (Normal) is respawn with your inventory wiped, at 1 health so you can just die again.

I'm not trolling here, this isnt my first one of these, It just that I've never seen it done this way and its a bit of a culture shock.

See what happened was, I'd die, lose all my tools while the raft is clipped to an island and I'd have no way to leave unless the raft unclips itself on the island. At one point, rhe raft was actually inside the island, and I just kept dying, trying to make a paddle to unstuck my raft.

One other time it was a seagull that kept killing me. I'd respawn but the gull would follow you and smack you. Now normally what you'd do is build your way out of this.

I wasn't expecting to need to use a discord just to get normal features you usually get on other survival craft games.

It works as designed though. You lose your inventory on death on Normal Mode and game autosaves upon death so you can't avoid death penalty by save scumming.

On Hard Mode you can't even revive without someone carrying you to bed so hard mode is basically the ironman mode when playing solo.

On Peaceful and Easy Mode you keep your inventory upon death.

If you play multiplayer, people you play with can rescue you when you die by carrying you to bed.

I think you mean the rock dropping Screecher on Large Islands. Seagulls don't attack players, only their crops.

Large Islands used to spawn only after you installed Receiver and 3 Antennae but after Renovation Update they can apparently spawn from the start.

It is odd game design.

Normally if you're starting from 0 during death, you can either produce some sort of materials without tools or be able to scavenge without them. When you respawn you are at 1 health basically anything can 1 shot you. Like in grounded even if you lose your guy, you can pick up the backpack you left behind upon death. Even if you started from 0 its fairly easy to collect materials to make the basic tools so you aren't completely helpless.

You cant swim out to collect plastic for a hook, make rope, and if your raft is clipped through an island and you're waiting for it to unclip itself then this can take a while.

It's actually more efficient to just delete the world and start again.

I mean, there's a discord dedicated to just unscrewing up your game ffs.

Its janky af.

This design decision makes friends valuable. That should not be nerfed.

You can learn fast that you have to keep spare equipment on your raft. Don't go exploring with things on you, you do not afford to loose. That is what I learned when I was playing Eve.

And finally, not sure if it is your case but I noticed a general trend. Players like to choose hard difficulties because they have a great self esteem. Succeeding is also more rewarding. And when they die it is the game's fault. And they blame the developers.

[Ragosta tin Dei]

It's really not. If the people who play the game already made a discord just to unscrew yourself from a point in the game, that's the community working around the fact that you have bad game design.

This isn't hard difficulty mind you. This is NORMAL difficulty. The 'default' mode is the one where you die and respawn at 1 hp with no tools and no way to win back any progress you just lost. I didn't play on hard because I don't like playing multiplayer especially not on an early access game and I usually play these things solo. Playing on multi, people just get in the way.

Also, if you're noticing that a lotta guys are complaining that this set up where you get boned if you die once, just once, then maybe it's not them who's being weird. Maybe its you.

Just my 2 cents.

Well it's made for people looking others to play with primarily but it's used by people looking to be rescued as it's also looking other people to play with, even if only until rescued. 95%+ of posts are for people looking other players to play with though.

Same with Looking For Group sub forum. Any looking for rescue threads are moved there as that's where they belong.

Ah yes, the "bad game design" argument :D

I've never heard of a rescue thread until now, it's quite refreshing. ;)
