Name A SINGLE survival game that has good base building mechanics THAT'S NOT Minecraft, Minecraft isn't even a survival game.
Valheim, Forest, Sons of the Forest, Subnautica, Terraria, etc. are all the same fricking shit, why? Why make a game designed around making your own base, you know, TO SURVIVE, if you're gonna ruin it by making base building near impossible?
Just spent the last 3 hours trying to build a house in Sons of the Forest, I STILL DIDN'T FINISH NOT EVEN 1/10th out of it. Gathering materials, specially logs, it's ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE, it's BORING, it takes YEARS, and then the mechanics to actually place the logs down IS GARBAGE and ridiculously buggy, I've had like 50 logs disappear.
Base building in a survival game should be a priority for the devs, but no, they never put ANY effort into it. FRICK THEM.

haha just wait until the REEEing monsters come in and destroy it in one hit
Please don't tell me that's a thing, i'm uninstalling if that's a thing.
You almost had an argument. Almost.
Then you decided to lump Valheim, which has very unique building design elements such as weight-stress and smoke management, in with the rest.
Please try to build a decent house, and I said decent, not whatever equivalent to the minecraft dirt house you guys make in Valheim, and tell me if you didn't have to spend 50 hours doing it.
You have to find the perfect place, level the soil, gather the mats, make a crafting station, make sure the crafting station has a ROOF for some reason, and then you can start building. And it takes HOURS.
Games should be fun, a survival game should focus on survival and a base is required to survive, it shouldn't be a miserable "bob the builder" simulator. No, I don't wanna spend 50 hours gathering wood in a game about killing weird animal nordic gods.
Not because you die if you have smoke inside your house it means the building system is good or fun.
>Games should be fun
building is very fun, sorry you suck
There's nothing fun about the Forest building system and you know it. Oh wait you don't, you don't even play videogames.
>Oh wait you don't, you don't even play videogames.
speak for yourself homosexual, also the new building mechanics in sons of the forest is way better than the first game
This just reminds me of how fricking moronic I was to build at the edge of the beach instead of ziplining logs to the water. I expected a beach base to not get attacked, but I built too close to the fricking woods and I constantly get raided.
>le r/valhiem purists
As a mod and server utility MATERIALS IN CHESTS COUNT WHILE BUILDING has literally several hundred thousand downloads. Never added into game, a basic base inventory, because valhiem is developed by autists who waffled about for a year on hearth and home (IE nothing) instead of implementing QoL fixes to broken systems. (Then overcorrected with the big and flashy mistlands that is widely hated by the few who've played it)
Hits go through solid objects because frick you that's be hard to code to have not happen.
Not a single material type is invulnerable to lower biome mobs. Line of sight agro is so broken it means the average mob won't attack the 10 times necessary to break a log wall if you don't stand there staring at them, so building in stone that can survive 20(while needing just 1 to break to break all around it) is pointless and stupid versus double wood walls.
>Or a trench
Breaking AI pathing was the one thing everyone's most hated update tried to nerf by making seekers spawn in the meadows after yaglith dies. GG your safety base getting broken down to the studs by random flying ghast redskins and Tyranids in a viking game.
Limited material and cosmetic sets, limited snapping, limited ground leveling, smoke mechanic but no fire=fire when fire is placed on wood, tension system never works when or how it should. Building sucks in valhiem, you just use dev commands or someone you know is lying about where all the wood and stone they server hopped with came from.
>Please try to build a decent house, and I said decent, not whatever equivalent to the minecraft dirt house you guys make in Valheim, and tell me if you didn't have to spend 50 hours doing it.
You are moronic if you think building a nice-looking house in Valheim takes anymore more than five to ten hours at maximum, and that's if you want to make a frickhuge mansion rather than a one-floor shithole.
> Bro just spend 10 hours gathering materials and building some viking house lmao
Do you just have... no life or something? How are you ok with spending 10 hours just chopping down trees and placing them down?
>Next step would be just spawning a built house straight away.
Good. More survival games need a pre set base for the player. I'm tired of having to do everything myself. Subnautica starts you off with a nice ship but still forces you to go underwater and build some giant superbase otherwise you're locked off a thousand crafting stations.
>I'm tired of having to do everything myself
You picking up wrong games then. Hello? I don't like fighting games because they have shit controls which making stuff too hard to execute so I just don't play them. Simple as.
It takes literally zero effort for the devs to give the protag a main camp. If they want players to spend 50 hours building their own then fine, but I shouldn't be forced to interact with their horrible boring mechanics.
>buy game that is centered around base building
>get mad when the game wants you to build a base
wooooooooooooooooooooow dude
It's supposed to be a survival game not a chopping wood simulator.
>WOOOOOOOOW DUUUUUUUUDE
The gathering and building mechanics suck, I agree, but this take is moronic. Go play something else, this game isn't for you.
then why are you playing survival game moron
To survive? Because I like the fact that the character has needs, that the character has to fight for his life against monsters, I like the exploration and the immersion.
What I don't fricking like is spending 3 hours waiting for an autistic husbando to gather logs and for the base building system to be atrocious and full of bugs to the point those logs you waited 3 hours to get disappear.
Stupid c**t it takes 100 times more effort and time to build a real hose. Ever thought about that? These survival games already made it as easy as it can be. Next step would be just spawning a built house straight away.
Here, homosexual. Took me 8 hours in total
looks like gross shit ew
Seethe, gay.
It looks like shit honestly.
When I replay Valheim I want something like this
Your shitty minecraft dirt house with stone balcony is crap.
Also why are you such a troony? Even in a game about vikings you roleplay you're a woman? Lmao. Do you also play as a woman in stardew valley?
>troony troony troony
>man i can't stop thinking about trannies
Why are you roleplaying you're a woman in a survival viking game?
I'm not even that poster, you're just a schizo grasping at straws because you didn't like some dude's fricking screenshot of a valheim house. Get a grip, moron.
Post your build then, moron.
Also
>RP as a woman
>Character is male
Take your meds
>You have to find the perfect place, level the soil, gather the mats, make a crafting station, make sure the crafting station has a ROOF for some reason, and then you can start building. And it takes HOURS.
>Games should be fun
that does sound like fun
None of that is fun, you must be an autistic moron that finds fun in watching paint dry.
this is the best advertisement for valheim ever. I'm checking the game out now because of this post. Webm unrelated
Any of that is ruined by the extreme stamina requirements on flattening ground
in any survival game that has building mechanics i just use console commands, trainer, or whatever to turn off build cost and just let my imagination run wild.
valheim had great building mechanics, you just suck
I tried The Forest during the Christmas sale. Seemed all right at first, then I killed a bird and had to chase the feathers as they got blown about on the wind instead of plucking them from the corpse. Also only got 2 feathers. Ok...
Cut down a shrub for leaves, got one leaf.
Uninstalled and refunded immediately. Absolute moronation to pad gameplay time.
Stopped reading when you listed a bunch of games, you're a moron.
Can't you get that AI moron to gather for you?
Kelvin takes HOURS to bring up logs, and he fricks up everything he does. He's a cinammon roll but he's useless, he cuts trees either super far away or the ones I didn't want him to cut, sometimes I would break something in the house i was building because it bugged or i didn't like how it turned out and he would IMMEDIATLY run towards the log that I just removed to pick it and carry it to the log bin.
He also carries just one log, while walking extremely slow, and he has a stamina system so if he gets tired he stops gathering for like 5 minutes.
And no, sleeping doesn't fast forward this shit, i tried sleeping like 20 times and he was still sitting on the fricking floor.
he's doing his best anon
Then play Rust you whiney c**t
how do i play as white only in this game? i hate that you are assigned with non whites sometimes.
fr they need to add character creation to this shit. i was gonna buy it until i saw some streamer spawn as a Black person
Huh? Singleplayer has one protagonist and he's the whitest chad there is. You only get randomized skin color if you play in multiplayer. But if you're single player you should always be Carl who's LITERALLY a clone of Channing Tatum, white as frick.
>Huh? Singleplayer has one protagonist and he's the whitest chad there is.
why the frick are you confused moron, he said he's playing multiplayer
>he said he's playing multiplayer
Where?.
Go on, point out when he said he was playing multiplayer.
>i hate that you are assigned with non whites sometimes.
he was assigned with other people. he was playing multiplayer. did you think he meant the player character?
let me hit you with something else because you pissed me off. why the frick would think he was playing single player in the first place? you specifically mentioned that the problem he's facing couldn't happen in single player, and yet you didn't stop to think that he was in multiplayer?
Because he's a race baiting incel so he probably watched an online video, saw that the protag had a black hand and assumed the protagonist is randomized.
You're very, very stupid if you think people here play games, most of you just watched some incel video
Minecraft was better before the survival features
I liked the building mechanics in Grounded. Seemed like a good balance between ease of use and complexity.
That said, I played the early access, I don't know if they made it harder or more tedious in the final game.
Grounded is one of the only fun survival games, and I used to play a shit ton of them.
>WHY EVERY SINGLE SURVIVAL GAME ALWAYS HAS SUCH SHIT BUILDING MECHANICS?
Subnautica has fricking amazing building mechanics
just the problem is that there's no reason to really build a base.
The Forest (first one, not the newbie one) has pretty decent building for its time, but the way the game's AI is designed means it actively punishes you for building a bigger and bigger base.
Play Valheim
That must be modded. Building that high in vanilla always had shit collapse on me.
thats possible if you combine the stone pillars and iron pillars
>iron pillars. Well shit. I don't think I ever played long enough to even bother trying to make furniture or houses out of iron.
It's Early Access, Dumbass. It's on you for paying to play an unfinished product.
I pirated it, and Early Access doesn't mean shit, name a single game that was different on release than it was on Early Access. Early access is basically "we're selling you the full game but with even MORE bugs".
If anything more games should be upfront about them selling an Early Access, like Cyberpunk and Hogwarts Legacy.
Then why the frick are you playing it if you're are fully aware of what Early Access means?
You're fooling yourself, buddy.
>Minecraft isn't even a survival game.
It started the trend for survival genre zoomer
I like conan exiles' since they redid it.
idk i find it dumb when you join a pve server and all the endgame players have just built big ass mansions and skyscrapers
just feels out of place
make a zipline and send the logs back from further away without having to run back and forth, also friends help we had two of us cut and send logs and 2 more build
I quite liked the building in rust. Booby trapping your shit with turrets is a ton of fun. I just wish you didn't benefit as much from making a shitty bee's nest of five doors all clipping into each other that you're constantly opening and closing into your teammates' faces.
Sons of the Forest is blatantly unfinished, even by EA standards. The Forest has good base building and the traps are incredibly fun.
Ark, but it took a LONG fricking time till it was good.
Basic gaming cycle does not support a holistic survival experience without shortcuts and we should stop allowing games companies to lie to us.
OP you're a homosexual with annoying opinions but play Card Survival, every action takes 10 seconds at most to perform and it has a pretty in depth base building and ranching/farming mechanics.
This looks like complete dogshit lmao
like i said, you're a homosexual with annoying opinions so i can't say i'm surprised you have shit taste as well.
>game literally looks like it was made in one of the Microsoft Office programs
>UHHH YOU JUST HAVE SHIT TASTE
I just think you have bad standards.
>muh graphix
like i said, shit taste. also why do you speak like such a homosexual?
>muh graphix
Yes. Games need graphics to have nice looking bases. Not mspaint cards wirh clipart.
Show me your build in that game then
The entire point of the thread was aesthetics
i thought the point of the thread was for you to whine like a b***h and have anons mock you, my mistake.
That's not me, you obsessed pathetic frick.
sorry, you just talk like such a homosexual i thought you were OP
i think you talk like a homosexual because you talk like a homosexual, homosexual.
>post word amount: 27
>amount of times word homosexual used: 4
Just discover a new word? Or are you taking a break from reddit where you can't say that no no word?
I think he's accusing others of being gay because he can't accept his own homosexuality.
not him but you really can't make a post like this if he jokingly overused the word homosexual 3 times in one sentence. try something else, you sound moronic.
>>muh graphix
yeah? the thread was about good looking base building
Games that have a cool and interesting artstyle are exempt from bad graphics. This game has neither good artstyle or graphical fidelity. Also you only think I talk like a homosexual because I'm shitting on your objectively bad taste in ""games""
That game screams GROOMER GROOMER GROOMER.
OP has a real point with building in survival games but he ruined it by being an insufferable homosexual.
Come home to the greatest survival building game ever, with it's infinitemodable possibilities
No. Minecraft is ridiculously boring and has no survival shit at all. Don't Starve is a million times better. What kind of survival game has like 2 types of food? Wooow I can eat bread or i can eat cow! WOOOW
Why bother making a huge house with a beautiful kitchen when all you can make is bread and beef? Frick Minecraft.
yeah wow maybe you should've learned from the fact the forest was awful
I just bought Grounded thanks to the two (gay) anons in this thread
Hopefully theres not too many bugs
>why game has
How do you say it then???
Rust
Peak comfy
Kino as frick
My dad plays it 24/7 and he has meltdowns every time they raid his house
that's why I don't play rust, things get way too intense when your base is getting raided
Rust is shit.
Building in The Forest is fun as frick, and it's satisfying watching it slowly come together as you gather more materials. You're a fricking homosexual anon.
Rust has the best building if you want speed and efficiency. Minecraft has never and never will have good building mechanics. It's tedious as frick.
I use to love building in 7 Days to Die but the dev is a turbo autist that turned it into a fricking wave defense game and keeps "fixing" the ways people zombie proofed their base, so I'll go with Conan Exiles.
I've been expanding my starting cave and haven't moved out in 3 in-game years despite having a house built right next to it
Minecraft
>can immediately start building your base as soon as you start a new world and have a serviceable starter shelter built in less than 10 minutes

"Survival Crafting" games
>10 hours of play to build even a basic shelter

>building controls often feel like they were designed by an alien
>why is surviving in a survival game time consuming and a lot of work
I would say Dragon Quest Builders but that’s more of a base building game with survival mechanics
