This game has the worst building mechanics i ever played in any survival game.

[Impi]

I have tried to love this game, ive put 100 hours plus hours and built many projects.
I have this now bug where this one part of my roof is always red and does not hold even after many pillars supporting it and still falls of.
The weather repair system in this game makes it unbearable and makes u spend 30 mins straight of real life time repairing a wooden dock.
I can not stand the pillar support system in this game, its not needed and its not even a realistic game, like why do they add this kind of mechanic.
also i hate the portal system where you cant even take resources and the game makes you sail for 40 real life mins to another biome.
Last but not least Minecraft will always have the best building mechanics in survival games, even sons of the forest is better than this garbage building mechanic system.
I hope they re work in the future but atm i cant enjoy it anymore.

The beta build has an option right now to decide for yourself what portals can transport, among other QoL sliders. You're not expected to repair outdoor wood, it just sits at 50%. Post your failing support pillar, there's probably a simple fix.

Go play Minecraft then. This is not an airport, no need to announce when you're leaving.

Support isn't a bad thing; perhaps you just don't understand the intricacies of the mechanic? Here's a video; it's only 16 minutes long, and gives a hefty chunk of building-related information that may show you how to fix the issues you're experiencing.

The same YouTuber has a very in-depth video on Valheim's smoke mechanics that you should also have a look at, if you want to play with fire.

It's called a opinion I can say whatever I want and this game is not perfect...

I think the mechanics work pretty well in this game, but they are by no means perfect.
It does take a little bit of effort to understand the stability mechanics but once you do it's usually pretty straight forward.

I do agree that it is highly annoying that you can't really build a wooden dock because of the rain damaging it. There are mods to disable that but it's obnoxious that there isn't a way to build something with core wood or some other materials that still gives the wood look but doesn't receive rain dmg.

Yeah, and others can say whatever THEY want, too. Goes both ways, you know?

You not understanding the game mechanics is not a bug.

Stability is based on height/pieces from the ground, with some pieces having more or less stability. There is some horizontal stability as well, mostly that stone is bad at it. That's it. It could be more nuanced, but it isn't.

Or you could just mod the build limits out. And the teleport limits for that matter - until we get difficulty settings and that no longer needs a mod.
It's not like you're getting a refund after 100 hours, might as well play it how you like. Or not at all.

Floating blocks is a mechanic 👀

I'm also gonna question the idea that Minecraft is a survival game.

Ok so we've gone from "worst building mechanics" to "not perfect". No middle ground there huh?

Say whatever you want, but when you decide to share your opinion don't be surprised when others comment on it, especially when it's that ridiculous.

But it isn't entirely ridiculous.
Being forced to repair your dock periodically or it'll fall apart is ridiculously annoying.
That's a 100% fair criticism of the game.

If you think it's a ridiculous opinion then demonstrate it --- effectively saying "who asked bye" (your previous post) is just going to incite, I don't see the point in even typing it.

Damage caused by rain is limited to 50%, it will not fall apart if you dont repair it. There, demonstrated.

Right so the solution is to just accept that your dock will look gross and tattered because you have to passively accept everything is at 50% hp?
Sorry if my language wasn't clear before, I didn't mean to imply it would literally break itself but it definitely adopts a color change and "broken" look.

That certainly doesn't eliminate that complaint x. x....

If one part of the roof is red but the rest of it works check to see if your pillar is touching the ground and not anchored to the floor instead. Delete that bit of floor and put the pillar down to make sure it's touching ground before putting the floor back. That's the most common cause of asymmetrical roof support.
