Hi there guys. Me and the wife just started playing this and we are very impressed! Couldn't find another thread probably due to the name of the game haha but I just thought I would share our first play-through of the game as its so cheap and full of things to do!

Well anyway if you are into survival/crafting/exploring games this is highly recommended!

Anyone here played it recently? What can me and the wife expect later on game play wise?

Played it a while ago. I made a little hut but nothing too extravagant lol.

I think there was a thread, but long gone now.

Played it for months after it first released, but just like every other early access alpha/beta, it got boring waiting for more content.

Cool has it changed much? Do they add content on a regular basis?

Weekly updates still I think. I need to redownload so many games from a win10 reset. There's a counter in the menu showing the next update countdown.

haven't played this in 2 years, probably should give it another go, see how much more they've added.

bought it, £10 early access is a punt I'm willing to take. Looks pretty good.

Haven't played it since March I believe. As mentioned above I stopped due to having reached a dead end so to speak.

My start was relatively quiet. After about 4-5 days iirc I spotted my first cannibal who ran off after a stare down contest. This was my sign to begin fencing off my mini base asap! I eventually realised that they take an extreme dislike to their forest being destroyed - i.e chopping down trees seemed to displease them. I expanded my base over time but kept facing ever increasing attacks from various cannibals...and then the really BIG mutants. I just couldn't cope with night after night of attacks even with the ton of traps I had. Fences were useless.

It is a great game, but combat and the UI wasn't the best during frantic moments. I just ran out of time to keep playing it and there was only so much exploring you could do. I never did get to the bottom of that massive hole though...

I got this a few months ago through humble monthly, but I've yet to play it since I didn't have anything that could play it which is going to change by the end of this year once the most recent addition to my computer collection (well, it isn't much of a collection at the moment but it will be soon) gets a graphics card.
