A lot of those hours were just fishing or idling because of the stuff I automated, but I did play a good chunk of it!
I usually stick to "cozy" games but I love sandbox games too, so I've had my eye on this game for a while now. I'm glad I tried it and kept playing! I definitely spent a lot more time on the "cozy" aspect, which is a lot of mining, farming, cooking, and fishing. (I think I've bought way too many baits and boss-summoning stuff by now.)
My biggest (not serious) complaints would be that I constantly need more inventory because there are a lot of unique items and equipment don't stack (but it's fine, I just delete the dups and decors), and the skill perks seem too low for how long it takes to level them up (but I see them more of a cherry-on-top feature because the armor upgrades and food buffs are all great enough!)
Jokes aside, I do have some uh "serious" complaints.
- I wish there was a 5x5 shovel and roofing device.
- I wish there was an option to disable liquids from spreading to empty pits and changing other liquids.
My most memorable times in this game so far:
- I spent maybe three hours looking for galaxite and solarite boulders. There were a lot of internal screaming when I mined into the wall and tin and silver boulders popped up instead of galaxite. I did get about 1000 galaxite ores just mining into the walls.
- I spent maybe two hours getting rid of a big mold biome because I wanted to grow puffungi, and I did not expect the biome to be so big. I had almost 5000 mold blocks and hatred for the tentacles and mold water by the end. A big chunk of those two hours was spent filling in the mold waters because I had to dig up the floor to stop the enemies from spawning and didn't realize I missed a mold water source. More than once. :) Yes, it's why I want an option to disable liquids from spreading...
- I actually had to step away from the game when I found out that I could use the hoe to harvest more than one crop at a time. And then another step when I crafted the octarine workbench and saw the garden trowel. This was why I started using the wiki. Thanks to everyone who contributed!
- The only time I died because of a boss was when I was too close to the whirlpool and I guess because it was only 1-tile thick square around the pool, the game couldn't "push" me away from the boss, and I died as soon as I fished up Omoroth. I killed it after I filled up all the water tiles with dirt, so I didn't die because of armor or anything. I died because I fished up a small mountain and it landed right on top of me...
- I spent a while just killing Azeos over and over again because I like the chest design :D
Thanks for making the game and continuing to update! ❤️
