Anyone got a recomendation for a "walk around and craft stuff so that you can eat and not die" game?

Preferably one where I can build a comfy base?

So far I am looking at

> Stranded Deep
> The Forest
> Subsitance
> Subnautica
> The Long Dark

Any opinions on which are better than which?

Rust.

Minecraft.

I've played all those and they all suffer from early access syndrome. Just play Minecraft.

UnReal World

I guess what I am looking for is the base buildong of Fallout 4 without it being Fallout 4.

I might check out Wasteland Defence + Settler Mods for NV.

No, just no.

The game progresses backwards instead of forward.
In the past 2 years they REMOVED content instead of adding it.

Don't Starve for something with actual aesthetic.

And UnReal if you're alright with Dwarf Fortress tie shit.


Long Dark is worth a mention. I'm not sure about Subnautica

What would be great is if subnautica spanned multiple worlds and we could see even more variety.

But they're having a bitch of a time with what they've got now.

>I'm a pvp fagtron in wurm
Bet you play on freedom you little shit. But yeah for comfy homesteading with crafting and basic survival wurm is pretty good. The main game has plenty of servers of untouched land to build a brand new homestead on you'll be fucking lucky to ever see a human at, with thr ability to global chat other players and trade if you live near a road or find your way to a highway or just build your own.

There's also wurm unlimited by those servers are community maintained, but it's a one time fee. Basically WURM

I am averse to multiplayer. But Life is Feudal looks comfy as hell.

How feasible would it be to start a private server and play it solo on my own?
>>
>>377294724
Rust,
Minecraft,
Terraria (Starbound too if into spess).

Subnautica and The Long Dark are incredible but don't match your brief very well. Stranded Deep and The Forest are pretty bad and Subsistance looks and sounds like a Rust ripoff.
>>
>>377295167
Came here to post this.
>>
>>377296535

That's all I do in Life is Feudal, so yeah it's extremely viable and maximum comfy, and because it's your own server you have the added benefit of being able to tweak all the settings, alter things like the mining speeds etc so it doesn't take you a life time to actually dig a mine.

I just want a less shitty(optimization wise) game than Wurm Unlimited, is that too much to ask? I haven't played anything that competes with it's depth.

>>377296798
>UnReal World

I wish survival had a bigger role in roguelikes.
>>
>>377294724
The Long Dark is probably the most comfy. You can sort of make a base, by dropping stuff off at a certain location. But its not like you have control over building anything.
>>
>>377296798
>>377295342
>>377295225
Ill def check out UnReal World when I get home.

>>377296636
I absolutely love The Long Dark. I just wish I was better at it. I could live for a while as a straight scavenger, but I always seem to run out of resources.

I know the overall point of the sandbox is to die eventually, but would be cool to live in a cabin, build stuff and go out and kill without running out of ammo.
>>
The Forest and Subnautica are both fairly comfy.

There is actually a mode in The Forest that allows you to disable the cannibals so you can just focus on living out a Gilligan's Island fantasy
>>
>>377297968
I wish it was more present in general. People always scoff at it because they see the need to eat, sleep, etc as annoying but it's another layer that can contribute to a well designed game.

>NEO Scavanger
>Dead State
I think both of these RPGs were overlooked because of the inclusion of survival elements. Most players don't like their wish fulfillment encroached upon.
>>
>>377295237
Can confirm solid choice of mods.

I like your tastes OP, I would have recommended all of those games you posted had you not already posted them.
>>
>>377296636
>Subsistance looks and sounds like a Rust ripof
Eh. No.
In what aspect does it look and sound like a RUST ripoff? It does have its own unique thing going.
>>
>>377298602
>Subsistence is a sandbox, first person, open-world survival game. Struggle to build a base and gear-up in the hostile environment. Defend yourself from wildlife and AI hunters (who also build bases in the world). Progress your base technology for advanced item crafting and upgrades. Farm crops, raise small animals and harvest and refine resources to rise in dominance in the world. If you enjoy open-world sandbox survival games, resource gathering and grinding to build a base, you may enjoy playing the early access version of the game.

Sounds like Rust to me, only singleplayer (and they're making it multiplayer). The video on the Steam page looks just like Rust but jankier too. Same building, same item placement, same resource gathering, etc. Perhaps it plays differently but you couldn't tell from the material they've made available.

Rust isn't at all like what OP wants. It's really more an FPS with basebuilding. The "survival" part really falls flat, especially with the more recent updates.
>>
>>377299230
Fair enough. By that logic there are a lot of RUST ripoffs. Mostly everything. Not saying it is a bad thing, but it is kind of like back in the day everything was DOOM clone.
Anyways, correct me if I am wrong, but in RUST there weren't any NPCs other than wildlife, right? There are in Subsistence. They build bases and hunt and gather and can fuck your day up if you come at them.
Subsistence also got a pretty okay nutrition system, in which you need protein and plant fiber to function properly.
Those are the things come from the top of my head.
>>
>>377294724
Subnautica and The Long Dark are pretty great as far as survival games go.
>>
Has The Forest ever gone on sale? Not willing to pay more than 10 bucks for the early access survival meme.

Ark is the only decent game like that.

And its full of jew shit
>>
>>377299832
You can probably get it from kinguin or g2a or even a steam trade thread. It was in a monthly some time ago, so if someone (like me) don't want it - they might give it away or trade you one.
>>
>>377299928
Ark is the polar opposite of decent. It's fucked mechanically and technically, and the extreme power disparity between small and large clans is fucking ludicrous. Griefers killed the game indirectly because every server I've played on's alpha tribe inevitably razes your shit to the ground offline because someone didn't recognise your name so you could be a griefer and because of the power disparity it takes a total of five minutes to dismantle a hundred hours work.

The wait-to-tame system is fucking awful, too.

Post-apocalyptic survival? CDDA is the best?

isn't unfinished as well?

Nope, full game as far as I know.
Got a demo as well, if you want to try it out. Pretty rare nowadays.

Lol they can barely populate one with enough creatures to make it not feel completely empty.

I love the attention to detail in NEO Scavenger.
You can't put small things like rocks and pebbles into a shopping cart, because it'll obviously fall through.

>>377302831
Pretty sure it's been out for a while.

There's Stationeers coming later this year.
Who knows if it will deliver, but it looks promising.

Game is trash, don't bother with this. Combat is utter shit, survival is boring and grindy.
