About the walk in the park mode

[Jerry Fletcher]

It´s really, really nice to have that "free from aggressive natives mode", it feels better if you know that jungle´s Justin Bieber doesn´t start to sing after 20 minutes in the game, and won´t stop anymore till killed, killed again and again.

But why are the wildcats and crocs or gators not in there? It should stay a survival game with a harsh environment, just without that war thing. Now the mode feels like something is missing, would like to meet some crocs or gators too, or a jaguar from time to time, without having to fight natives all the time. Put at least the animals back in there, free from agressive warriors is walk in the park enough. Best would be options to turn stuff on and/or off before starting a new game.

And options which would let us adjust the length of an ingame day. Because now it´s like you turn around three times and it´s night again.

yep, I think that it woul be best if it was just the tribes that were turned off in the walk in the park. Playing without the predators is weird

[briansaxton]

I agree. I liked the predators, just not the tribals. Maybe there should be a fourth difficulty setting like, "a walk in the zoo" or "a stalk in the park" or "a walk the jungle" or something. Without natives, but with all animals.

Better still, make each feature selectable as part of the options menu. Allow people to customize their experience however they choose. A checkbox for each creature, nutrition and sanity sliders, and that kind of thing. THAT would be ideal.

Agree. Only remove active hostile natives and leave rest as-was.

Also, anyone noticed that the shrubbery seems a lot less dense in this latest update? Looks like the ground is much more exposed now than it was before the update.

Agree. Maybe a fourth mode with everything in the world except for natives. Option would be better though. An option gives flexibility. You can pick the hard/medium mode with or without natives. There is no easy mode anymore, with predators and native for the people who want that.

Put Predators back in. They weren't a problem.

i'd love to be able to simply set the game settings in each mode.

I noticed the ground cover also. I think it is much better as you can see more now than before

I agree and asked devs to leave everything bar tribes.
But!! now that I have had to let go of my 107 days survived, 17 camps built, and 170 hours of play and start a new game to use the water update. All is zeroed and no blue prints but the basic.
It was a breeze using the A Walk in the Park level.
6 days to explore the map and get all the blueprints back then discover the prawn catcher and fishing rod and not one tribe or predator.
Personally I wished they had made it so that when we start game after water update " new Game" the blue prints rebuild like after we start survival from the tutorial.
This one thing may be the downfall for many long standing players who just don't want to start it again.
It is after all an update not a new game.
I made a backup of my saves anyway.
cheers

Yeah, I was going to start "A Walk in the Park" until I noticed Sanity & Predators were also turned off. I was hoping for a mode where just the Natives were turned off. So for now I guess I'll just start another game on Normal difficulty.

I know it would take some work from the Dev's, but what I think would be neat is some kind of "friendship system" based on your actions toward tribes. Something where tribes would either be friendly, neutral or hostile towards the player.

Maybe you could give a gift of food or something to build relations & possibly become friends with a tribe & set up some kind of trade with them. Just something where you could alter the demeanor of tribes toward the player.

A beautiful game with ALOT of potential.

After bad experience with the forest game I really would like to turn those tribes off. Just enjoy wild jungle and survive. I hope they wil change this in the next updates.

We get 3 choices now it should please everyone???

A Walk In The Park
Peaceful mode with no hostile attacks.
Tribes turned off
Sanety turned off.
Predators 4 leggard types turned off.
You can still walk into danger by yourself. Still on> rattle snakes, spiders, stingray, piranah scorpians in caves. All that sort of stuff natural survivial.
Recommended for players who want to focus on building and exploring.

Welcome To The Jungle - Same as before on easy mode.
Tribes on but infrequent will leave you alone if not disturbed.. Predators on but you will come across them. Sanety on.
Balanced survival experience. Recommended for all players.

Green Hell
Enemies are more hostile, sanity penalties are increased. Recommended for survival experts.
Very difficult odds stacked against.

It doesn´t, because people only asked for a way to play without the natives, not without everything. It´s a bit boring if there are no dangerous animals except leeches, spiders, ants, snakes and worms. People have no problems with predators, because predators don´t start to spawn nearby you and always attack you and disturb you from everything else you do. And predators don´t sing all the time. It get´s boring fast having to kill the natives all the time to have a bit silence in the jungle. That natives thing reminds too much to The Forest and it´s silly canibals, atm.

Killing the natives isn´t even fun, fighting is a bit clunky and it´s just tedious after some ingame days. Something you have to do all the time without having any profits from doing it(except a break from their singing). That might change with the combat update and maybe fighting starts to feel like fighting, not like a grindy kind of work.

All we need is the option 99% of the people in this thread asked for, an option to switch the natives in survival mode off, no matter which level of difficulty. Would hurt nobody but everybody would be satisfied.

Yes, please. I don't mind the predators, the quick nutrition drain, the sanity system, or the scarcity of resouces. I just HATE the natives. It's mainly the unrealistic spawning; but it's also the silly combat and the unrealistic durability.
Plus, "surviving," to many, means pitting yourself against the environment (including dangerous predatory animals) -- It doesn't mean going to war with the local humans. I like survival games because they are a nice break from the constant killing of humans in other games. There needs to be a lot more "simulator" and a lot less "game" in a survival game. Without the ridiculously ever-present, iron-skinned natives (which must have a local population of thousands hidden in some nearby city based on the numbers I've killed without seeming to diminish them at all), the game is feels like survival. With the tribal insane clown posse, it feels like a kiddie action game.
