I don't mind complex. Cdda has way more micromanaging of your character's state. I also don't mind taking out the bug mention, though this better not turn into another eternal alpha. It seems nearly every game is a continuous WiP nowadays. Expect an issue about water vessals ammong other things.
I saw this game recomended on the forum for people that didn't want to just play a MC clone. This game succeeds, but not in a good way.
This game does not hold your hand at all. There's no documentation, the guide is just a rearanged recipe browser, and the main way to find out stuff to do is by happening upon a lore book. While I'm content with making up my own goal, an explaination to some core mechanics would be massively helpful as the workarounds are rather obtuse.
Prime example: Lighting and smoke. As others mentioned torches go out after a day or two and most sources of flames produce smoke. The first few nights involved a brisk strut (no sprinting) to place torches outside my windows, then in the morning I'd have to take them down again. Most permenant light sources require either extended mining trips or rare materials like beeswax (not parapham). After much trial and error I settled on digging 2 blocks into a wall, placing a torch, then placing glass to keep smoke contained. I still need to break the glass to replace the torches, so this isn't ideal.
Later I'd discover a village where a coal block was permanantly on fire. This inspired replacing torches in mineshafts with coal blocks, which works wonderfully until it's time to strip mine. The same village had all the torches burnt out and mising textures (unless its suppossed to look like 2 grey planes stuck to a stick), but they had a bucket of lava in a chest. Now my base has a glass floor with lava beneath as a permenant solution. Thankfully the radiant damage didn't seem to take effect, though thanks to magma converting adjecent blocks I had to abandon my cozy wood cabin asthetic. Of course I can't use this on explorations.
It's just so tedious. That's not mentioning the other painful mechanics like slab and panel placement. I hope the whole game isn't like this.
