>>737725830
it's worse than valheim though.
also for a pirate game, the ships are way too arcade-like.

>Windrose
Well you better catch it lol

>>737725830
Yeah except atmosphere

>>737725830

nothing will beat valheim any time soon simply because most developers are too cucked to make things difficult and survival games are only kino when it's dangerous:

-stiff death penalty
-dangerous unpredictable world
-peak building mechanics to make a base feel extra comfy behind tall walls

I once had a 2star troll mage and 2star troll bezerker mob group spawn outside my castle and it was the most epic moment in a survival game i've ever had - playing with a buddy with him as mage and me as warrior in ashlands raiding a fortress and using friendly troll spawns created an epic battle outside the fortress walls - also epic

mistlands is harsh though - i understand why it filters everyone

Valheim is fucking terrible so that's not something to brag about.

>>737725830
Except it has guns and guns are for faggots and so it is worse in every way. Bows are already faggot tier, but guns are ultra faggot tier.

>>737725830

game is mid as fuck - it just filled the void for a pirate game that everyone was wanting because multiple different AAA studios all bombed their pirate games

yeah except where it counts
the SOVL department.

>>737727775

> oh no a game where i actually have to plan ahead and be careful with resources

filtered - valheim has a minimum IQ and foresight requirement

enshrouded is still the best of these games.
and the newest update is kino

It's definitely similar to valheim in that it it's about as much of a pirate game as valheim is a viking game. Which is basically zero.

>>737725830
>The only survival game that /v/ has ever actually played is Valheim
>So the only game they can compare other survival games to is one of the most dogshit in the genre
Literally any survival game is an improvement over Valheim. About 90% of the QoL features in Windrose like hot deposit and crafting direct from inventory are ripped straight from Grounded, for example.
Windrose might be good in a few years, but as it stands it barely has the features to considered worth interest. I play a lot of Survival games and this one is just a little barebones, but has potential.

>>737728117
I'm reminded of how I got duped by Salt 2 into buying it and thinking I was gonna play a sailor/pirate game, except I started playing and turns out there isn't even naval combat. It's all islands.

>>737728206
Got any survival games that don't feel like just another rustlike where you collect 50 bits of wood and make a wooden cuckshed? None of them feel like survival, they feel like HD Minecraft except without the whimsy that early Minecraft had.

>>737728342
Abiotic Factor might be what you're after. Its basically Survival Half Life. Less base building and more exploration. Has a complete story and a definitive ending.
The Long Dark if what you want is something more akin to an endless survival sandbox. Don't touch the story mode, its pretty cringe. But the Endless mode is kino if just surviving against the elements is what you want.
Green Hell is also more of a survival against the elements. Has a unique "nutrients" system so you have to eat a varied diet. I haven't played it in ages though, and its pretty primitive now since its pretty old. But it has a kind of satisfying loop where you slowly learn the threats in the jungle and learn what to watch out for, what to gather whenever you see it.
I'll also never stop recommending Grounded. It has the most QoL features of any current survival game. Its unfortunately close to your complaints about building, but bases have an actual purpose because of a comfort system like Valheim's but better. It also has a bunch of optional hidden bosses and secrets. Just generally a great game. Combat can be a bit parry focused if you're playing solo and the story dungeons can be a bit lengthy for the size of your inventory. But its easily one of my favourite games of all time.

>>737728748
I dropped Grounded after triggering a wasp raid.

>>737728260
Windrose at least has naval combat. You get a ship with canons and you can make your crew sing shanties, and you can board enemy ships with your crew of NPCs and have a fight. It all feels pretty good.

>>737728748
>Abiotic Factor
Unreal Engine 5 slop, I've never seen a game so low poly take up so many resources and make my CPU/GPU run so hot. To be fair, Windrose is also Unreal Engine 5 slop and has the same issue.

>>737728825
I played the whole game solo.
I think one of the best tips is to take advantage of the loadout feature for mutations and build a good bow and get the mutations for it. Even if you're primarily melee. Wasps and bees are kind of a joke if you've got a good ranged setup and can hit their weakpoints consistently.

>>737725830
can you fight cool monsters? checkmate

nah game is a 5/10 at best;
boring gameplay, janky, lacking features, graphically unimpressive.

>>737728978
That doesn't help against raids when you have a 2+ story building.

>>737728748
>I'll also never stop recommending Grounded. It has the most QoL features of any current survival game.

Food grind is fucking insane. Everything else about it is good, but the constant grind for consumable resources is a joke.

>>737727894
You know what Valheim also has? Absolutely terrible dogshit gameplay.

>>737729359
nta but combat mechanics were just fine, but the resource grind expected of you was laughably insane and shows a complete disrespect of its players free time

>>737728748
Abiotic Factor might be the only good open world surival crafting game ever made. An actually good, handcrafted world with thought put into it, well designed, tons of nice exploration, a definitive endpoint instead of being endless treadmill slop, great atmosphere. The gameplay is still garbage but it's garbage in all open world survival crafting games. Not a single one has ever had good combat.

I wish I had friends to play these survival/crafting games with.
I bet they can be fun.

it's a shitty game with the dev adding random gameplay shit based on player feedback, without considering how it integrates

>>737729569
And then it shits itself 60% of the way through.

Alright, smartass, what are YOUR favorite survival crafting games?

>>737729792
Yeah, all the way through the end of Labs it's absolute peak, and then it's brief plateau into slow descent into off a cliff. Still probably worth a playthrough but man they need to look at Hydro and everything after.

>>737727894
Valheim is streamer tier garbage and is borderline unplayable without mods.

Abiotic Factor perfected the survival crafting genre and it's not even close.

>>737725830
I never knew this or Valheim existed until a coworker of mine told me she plays them. Seems she's just into survival crafting as a video game genre. I did recommend Abiotic Factor to her though I haven't played it myself yet. Any other suggestions on similar games?

be careful with your SSDs

>>737731051
Literally the only reason I haven't bought it yet.

>>737731051
QRD?

>>737731350
The game generated 60GBs of save data per hour, which degrades SSDs at ridiculous speeds.

>>737728925
UE5 isn't inherently bad. The problem is that devs are forcing the users to enable Lumen because it means they don't have to spend time setting up and baking lightmaps.

Abiotic Factor actually manages to run pretty well despite Lumen, due to it's low-poly style.

>>737731051
I've seen posts about it writing to SSD constantly but I've watched mine while playing and it's not doing anything.

>>737731020
>I never knew Valheim existed
fucking how

>>737731907
I'm not risking it

>>737729137
If you're killing stuff when it bothers you instead running away from everything, you have a basically infinite source of food when you get the oven.
Build like 2 of the farms and its even more secure.
You shouldn't have to grind for almost anything except building materials. And that only if you want an extravagant base.

>>737725830
Enshrouded is better than both, especially after latest update

>>737732840
did you play on whoa difficulty? i was chugging through buffs fairly quickly, and particularly when bossing. i completely ran dry trying to take down the infected broodmother and whilst it's a fun fight, i was burnt out on food grinding that i stopped playing rather than build another stockpile

the food grind was nasty

>>737729951
These>>737728748
Plus Subnautica for being the single best game at guiding exploration without a map or markers. It leads you around the world with breadcrumbs and convinces you to explore more all without explicitly ever telling you to do so. Its brilliant. inb4 "la creatura"
And an honorable mention to Enshrouded for having an amazing building system. Its kinda bad at nearly everything else, but not so bad its awful to play. I dislike the NPCs being basically glorified crafting stations and the combat is so simple it might as well not be there. But the ability to build with such fine details is really neat.

>>737730201
abiotic factor is more just a half life narrative game w/ very light survivor elements, than a proper survival game

Enshrouded is the goat

>>737732990
Not on Whoa, just Hard.
That would probably do it though. On hard, while I didn't grind, I did run through healing pretty quick and had to consider pulling back from some of the labs instead of finishing them because I was out/almost out of healing and buffs.

>>737732801
It's definitely happening for some, people have posted videos and it's very obvious in their task manager that the game is writing to disk like crazy.
For whatever reason it doesn't happen at all on my system. My disk activity is pretty much 0-1% the entire time I play.

For what it's worth, though, the devs have already responded and said they aim to have a fix for it in the next patch.

>>737729913
>bunch of wood
>a single fucking tree

Anon I respect that a lot of these survival games have retarded busywork requirements when it comes to upkeep, but windrose is most definitely not one of them. For gods sake you repair your ship with medkits you get from killing other ships, and wood just FLOATS in the fucking ocean. None of your gear has durability or breaks and everything has a 100% refund rate.

It does have retard numbers later on in the 2nd and 3rd biomes because early access devs never know how to make resource gathering/inventory management not ass but at least we have mods to unfuck that stupid mistake just like valheim.

>>737733317
>the devs have already responded and said they aim to have a fix for it in the next patch.
based

>>737728825
I loved grounded, bit the base raids were retarded. Especially since they usually triggered after I had been out for a few days, and was returning with broken gear.
I cheesed them away with the waft emitter and didn't give a fuck if it's basically cheating.

>>737727745
Valheim was bullshit. It pisses me off that people think it was even an okay game.

Fuck even enshrouded was better than that bullshit.

>>737734604
You can just turn them off, same with repairing equipment. I don't know why people complain about mechanics they can freely disable.

>>737734681
it has an almost unmatched atmosphere in survival games, and atmosphere goes a long way, but yeah the scaling is absolute fucking whack after the second biome and it only gets much worse

valheim is a game which needs to be fixed by mods in order to enjoy it

Genuinely don't understand why so many of these survival games fall into the exact same progression trap. Why do I constantly need better metals to make the same items but with more numbers? Why am I resolving the same problems over and over again instead of being presented with NEW problems with DIFFERENT solutions when you progress to a new biome?

enemies/resources just scale linearly in both strength and requirements so you never really pull ahead of anything, and the constant need for later resources means any benefit you gain from better tools being superior at previous tiers is completely negated because you don't make anything with those materials anymore OR have to refine them endlessly.

>>737735240
Works for Terraria and /v/ thinks that's the pinnacle of survival crafting.

>>737735001
I didn't actually know that. And to be fair, I liked the idea of raids, because it gave me a reason to build a defensible base. The problem was that structure health is just too low for some of the later game enemies. Plus there was the invisible raid bugs glitch, which didn't help.

>>737735407
You can adjust the damage they do to structures specifically. You can also make repairing structures free. You can also disable the periodic raids but still summon raids at will. Basically any feature you dislike can be tweaked or disabled entirely.

>>737735301
Terraria isn't survival crafting.

>>737735301
Terraria has 0 survival elements. I don't think I've ever heard anyone refer to it as "survival crafting" either past mislabeling of tags on the steam store.

>>737735510
Oh damn, I'll have to look at those options more if I ever decide to do ng+

>>737735728
I prefer to do all of the raids via the MixR's where they're in different locations and whatnot so you have to adapt and build different structures to defend them specifically. Actually defending your base sounds giga AIDS since the base is for aesthetics not function.

>>737727745
The building and atmosphere in Valheim are amazing. The combat and sense of danger going into new biomes is fun as well. It does have some flaws though. Solo drop rates for bronze/iron only feel balanced when turned up to 3x, and the mistlands could really use some kind of upgrade to dispel more of the mist for exploration once you've progressed into it.

>2star troll mage
Is that modded in or are you talking about fulings?

>>737729913
I uninstalled and refunded when this appeared on my screen knowing i'd have to either drink the base building kool-aid and build my 2nd base on the shipwreck or spend 10 minutes traveling back to my starter base to fetch these things.

>>737735301
Nearly every item in terraria has a unique behavior

>>737725830
I hope the development isnt as slow.

>>737725906
I think this is the reason I actually like it though, I dont want a simulation I just want the fun parts of the concept of sailing around shooting shit and exploring new lands. Shit like make the map 10 times bigger, add more things to discover and let me customize a crew and ship more. I like that you can place people in your base, so let my ships crew hang around there too when at shore and I can build them a bar where they sing and get drunk and puke everywhere, so I have more of a reason to build a nice settlement and keep stocks of alcohol and food which gives them buffs. See those merchants you can buy? Make it so that is a tangible thing in the world and there are trade vessels sailing around you can intercept, have hard dynamic encounters like the Spanish/British navy showing up and taking over areas, have more faction presence across the world.

I want more stuff like this that leans into the fantasy.

>>737736190
Considering you can teleport around, the thip itself has 0 resource management, and there are no wind mechanics or even any real differences between the ships besides from generic damage/life/speed values I think there is a lot to be iterated on. What's the point of a pirate/sailing game with absolutely ZERO sailing and piracy mechanics? You aren't even looting merchants or shit, you're just killing other pirates that are manned by ghost people.

Even sea of thieves is less casual than this. People aren't asking for it to the be the isim racing of boat games but something better than a fucking mobile game would be a step in the right direction.

>>737725830
I don't have friends so these games suck and are lonely since I just end up building houses and villages for no one. The only one that was decent was Conan since you can have NPCs in your town and follow you around killing stuff. Does Windrose have that?

>>737736190
damn I really like all your suggestions anon, that sounds hard as fuck
can we get that to the dev please

>>737735957
You're supposed to carry a fast travel bell on you and plop it down when you need to go back and forth between your base. You can also just fast travel from (but not to) your boat.
Gathering the materials for the first ship takes hardly any time at all.

>>737736326
Yea thats the stuff I want them to work on more than physics. You play as a privateer and not a pirate in this, but that should also mean you work FOR someone, so again, they should make factions more present like you pick sides in territory wars for money from the British or the Spanish and can get involved in quests for them like "escort ship" and "fuck with their trade ships" where they have their own faction territories.

Add more substantial differences between ships behaviours, even stuff as simple as turn speed and lack/inclusion of certain ammos can make different playstyles, there should be more customization on the ships beyond average, shooting and cargo. Like let me assign what weapons and outfits the crew have too and have different options for the enemies as well.

>>737736518
Yes. Needs more though, I think there is only 5 NPCs and 4 merchants you can place in a settlement who wander around and interact with things. They could easily do more, let the ships whole crew be a thing you manage and they go to shore when at your "main base". Its early days still, hopefully they dont fall into that problem so many of these games do where your building for a dead world, its got stuff already but it could do more.

When I sailed into the "blackbeard waters" and then the "smugglers waters" I could see the gang territory thing from GTA:SA in my head. I was really hoping you could take over routes or swathes of area and were going to do shit for factions outside of fetch quests. I know it's early access but these games almost NEVER develop new systems in early access. Just more numbers and tougher stuff. I'm happy to be proved wrong and hope they make some cool shit.

>>737737264
>When I sailed into the "blackbeard waters" and then the "smugglers waters" I could see the gang territory thing from GTA:SA in my head.
exactly what I was thinking

>>737736974
The combat certainly needs work but it's not terrible once you get the hang of it.

Players can man your cannons, there's just no real benefit to it since having multiple ships is way more effective, and fun in it's own way.

Wind may get added. All the visual effects for it are in the game already, but there's debate as to how much it should affect the ships.
The game obviously borrows a lot from Valheim, but Valheim style wind mechanics don't mesh well with large ships and naval combat. Sea of Thieves wind mechanics (minus the manual sail adjustment) would be welcome I think.

>>737737264
>>737737370
People are already making mods for it, so something like that might be possible in the future, even if the devs don't do it themselves.

>>737737495
Unreal is pretty approachable when it comes ot modding but game mechanics aren't really something that should come from modders. More content should come from modders in the form of new ships, enemies, islands, etc. It's easy to add a shitload of new zombies or boats or sails or buildables. It's really hard to make a new mechanic that then meshes with the world, and is likely very infeasible for 99% of modders given the limited modding tools available currently.

>>737737495
>le modders will add this complex mechanic!
Would be nice living in whatever universe you live in

>>737737594
>>737737658
Obviously the devs adding it would be better.

I know the mods are pretty limited right now, but the devs seem pretty open to modding, so maybe more mod support will get added. Even without official mod support people have managed to do quite a lot in other games.

>>737725830

Valheim made by a bunch of autistic faggots who clearly understands the game design (too spreggy tho to admit their UI is not a good part of experience). Windrose on paper is a game from my dreams, but in practice it has horrible identity crisis and their game design is obviously flawed by some early tests feedback otlr something.

The only thing that's better about it than Valheim is the ease of fast travel. Everything else about it is far more barebones and grindy. We've had games in 2003 more involved than this, like Sea Dogs.
In Windrose you have:
>no actual trade between outposts
>no colonies
>no Dutch, Spanish or Portugese fleets
>no ship capture
>no wind affecting sailing at all for you or for npc's, so shooting chain is pointless

The worst part is that none of this will change or improve. The only thing this game will add would be more stupid shit to grind, like more tokens to turn in for reputation so you can spend 2000 coins on another useless fucking blueprint or 15 more gold coins on some stupid fucking vanity item for your base.

There's not nearly enough actual pirate content in this pirate game. You spend way more time hitting trees and ore instead of looting ships. Vendors help but even they don't carry all the resources.
There needs to be merchant vessels that you can convince to give up by destroying sails or having a bigger ship than they do. Have them protected by tough escorts so the reward isn't free.

I kinda hate the progression. You fight the same copy pasted enemies on every single ship but they end up with double the HP every 5 levels or whatever. The combat literally doesn't change at all and your tactics stay exactly the same but the enemies now hit harder and have more HP meaning you need to upgrade like 8 different items to be allowed to challenge the next 'tier' of enemies. That's assuming you don't cheese every encounter by shooting them all in the face from your own ship since they can't board you back.

Your reward for building a Brig is getting to fight other Brigs. That's a huge letdown and you barely feel the power spike at all since now all the enemy ships have more HP just like you.
I wish enemies could attack your base like in Palworld. I want to set up a Pirate Cove with men mounting cannon towers and shit.

Grim.
I'm waiting for Abiotic Factor to stop huffing its own farts and go on sale for less than 20 dollars (with content DLCs included). I will never pay more than twenty dollars for a videogame. It does look interesting, so it'll stay on my wishlist. You mentioned a definitive ending. Can I play it as a sandbox, or is it not made for that?

I played TLD for a pretty long time before, until I burned out somewhere around the Timberwolf Mountain from overplaying it. Also couldn't stop seething over a bug giving me permanent frostbite. But if the gay retard game director still hasn't managed to kill survival mode with his gay retardation like Cabin Fever, then I might actually come back to it. Wish he'd remove the stupid McKenzie and his roastie wife models and voices from survival mode, though, ruins my roleplay.

For Green Hell I kinda don't like playing a predefined character, plus I'm not a huge fan of lush jungles and just normal IRL settings. At least TLD has the abandoned towns to give me a sense of post-apocalypse.

Overall grateful for the recs though. You delivered on the request. If you're interested, maybe check Wayward. It's a peculiar survivalcraft that's not like the usual stuff.

What manner of sorcery is this?

What are some actually good naval/pirate games where I can adventure around in an open world and carve a name out for myself? Only one I can think of is Horizon's Gate, which is like a mercenary sim / Starsector-like.

the best pirate game is sid meiers pirates if you can get it to run
everything else is just trash and slop like windrose

>>737725830
janky survival crafting garbage
shocked anyone is still trying to make games like this

>>737752425
Do I get to make my own character in it, or is it some Captain Jack Turner bullshit?

>>737725830
except it's soulless valheim with no weight

>As the player character ages, fighting becomes more difficult, and deteriorating health will eventually force the character into retirement. The game ends when the player retires
Nevermind, I don't want to play it anymore.

>Unoptomized UE5 slop runs 3x worse
>inventories and crafting menus block your screen and pull you out of the game
>pitiful control binding options;no dedicated destroy build piece button, no toggle sprint, no hold to attack, closing build menu stuck on right click/esc
>forced AI upscaling
>no custom fps

Keep coping. Valheim is still the goat and until developers realize what makes it so immersive and seamless it will never be toppled.

Anyone sharing screenshots of the updated grils?

>>737740157
Is there a server /v/ plays on? Would like to get back into this game with some bros.

I like it

>>737725830
It's just extremely boring. After a couple ship battles and a lot of gathering and crafting it just completely ran out of steam.

what about soulmask

about 14 hours in, co-op. we killed the first boss. i just spent about 3 hours setting up the base to look nice. too early to give a rating on the game overall but i'm having fun. we are dying a lot though especially when boarding

>>737740157
May 5th for what, anon?

conan exiles enhanced release

>>737756506
Ah, I see. That game always stuttered like shit for me cause I meet the minimum GPU, and dips aside it also felt crazy scuffed for a game of its time. Hope that improves too.

>>737725830
As much as Valheim drags its balls and takes a decade to get anywhere in update development, I still prefer it. Mostly cause them taking an ungodly amount of time means that mods have an enormous shelf life.

i could see Windrose having potential in a few years, though.

>>737756614
it's switching to unreal 5 engine

>>737756756
fuck, there goes that idea.

>>737736190
>I think this is the reason I actually like it though, I dont want a simulation I just want the fun parts of the concept of sailing around shooting shit and exploring new lands
this is literally every pirate game that ever came out though
people want something different because this already exists, literally every game in the genre that "scratches the itch" is this

>>737725830
>Pirate game

Pffffffffffft HAHAHAHA

>>737752296
Sea Dogs 2 with the New Horizons mod is the best pirate experience currently available.

>>737725830
I think it's great as an early access game with around 2 years until it hits full release. Hopefully they'll be adding a lot more to the game.

>>737729913
Imagine being this bad at video games and having the nerve to say its the game thats bad. It took 10mins of running around the island to gather the materials needed to salvage the ship. You're literally a fucking retard who requires 24 hour in home care

>>737758337
He's bad, but he's not wrong. Frigate and Brig both come with absurd resource requirements. You spend more time sitting in a cave hitting rocks than fighting and pirating in this game.

>>737758850
He is wrong, because he is talking about the tutorial. Not the Brig or Frigate.
100 wood is nothing, 20 nails is the most time consuming thing and most of that time is just waiting for a few copper ingots to melt. Coarse fabric and rope takes literal seconds to acquire.

>>737760704
Yes, he's wrong because he leveled the complaint at the tutorial ships. But his complaint would have been correct if he had spoken about ships that are not tutorial ships.
