any survival games without crafting???
im looking for a survival game where you dont craft things but find things. and you dont have to worry about your thirst and hunger. i don't want any zombie games either please. if it does have to deal with zombies then keep contagion out of it. i already got that. but i am actually looking for open world. and possibly hunting. and maybe multiplayer. thank you.

Sorry mate but I don't think there are any. At least with the games currently out if you want to hunt and survive there will always be at least basic crafting. I'd be pretty interested in something like that myself as a casual game to play between games since I really like survival games too. Unfortunately, no game will give up adding crafting features to have clothes and food just be there in a box all the time or in the middle of a forest lying on the ground. It'd probably be boring. How about settling for games that have minimal and easy crafting?

If you want games that have crafting but don't actually need to use it (so it's an option that you can ignore, although you'll still miss out) you'll find yourself deviating from games that are focused on survival. If that is an option for you, games like The Division are great since it has no zombies (yet?) and you hunt baddies and don't have to worry about thirst and hunger at all and have fab multiplayer (atm). Everything you need is stored in crates, bags, cupboards and fridges so you don't absolutely have to craft anything (although crafting will get your better gear faster). But those don't really feel like survival games and instead have survival and RPG traits to hook players so it might not be up your alley.

I'm not trying to be mean or anything like that, but are you sure you want a survival game? I do get not wanting zombies, vs. other enemy types - z's are so cliche now.

What, exactly, do think of as "survival"?

Edit: there are probably some games that are open-world explore type games, but typically they seem more exploration/atmosphere based, not survival/combat/item based, if that makes sense.

No worries. Everyone has different styles of gaming and tastes so no biggie.

Fallout 4 has crafting and house building. It's basically minecraft.

Yeah, Bethesda games are what came to my mind, although they do have some crafting of some sort. They don't really feel terribly "survivalist" tho.

Miasmata also came to mind since outside of some botany-medicine-type stuff, iirc, there's not much crafting but it has the player-chr. being poisoned/infected and you have to keep it under control. And thirst/dehydration is a major factor, as well as a very unique cartography system.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands
Massive and detailed Map, shooter (against drug lords based on real world problems)
its not set in the future or past, is not futuristic or survival crafting. its finding clues and at the end finally beat the boss of the region. 10/10
its also as old as your post :)

gawd dawm
I actually don't know if it is still available on Steam. theHunter Primal was an open world survival hunting game on a future hunting reserve. No zombies. Dinos.

I always found it incredibly fun because you could be tracking and hunting something or looking for supplies, and suddenly find yourself as The hunted. It was a game that used scent trails, and pack of raptors can pick you up from a considerable distance.

But again I'm not sure if it's still on Steam.

Aside from that I can't really think of a lot of survival games that don't have crafting as the person at the very beginning said. Sorry.
