howdy, y'all!! i'm very new to this game, but i've seen a few youtube videos on the game, and god DAMN does the front page of this website make some amazing promises and claims. super excited to try this game out, will be updating this thread periodically with my gameplay experiences, whether that be clips or screenshots!!

oh, for short, if you think cr1mson is too much somehow, just call me V

three hours in and this game has absolutely SHOCKED me with how in depth and beautiful it seems. currently struggling through the pottery age right now, but i absolutely love the challenge it gives me!!

here's my little base so far, made out of a bunch of packed dirt LOL

also for anyone curious, i had a run-in with a grizzly in the forest just west of me (between the two hills near the right side of the horizon.) scared the actual shit out of me  that's why my health is at like half LOL

i have no idea who's fuckin idea it was to create the temporal mechanic but dear god it is TERRIFYING

and i LOVE IT

taking a break for tonight, but i think i've made some decent progress for my first ten hours!! at the twilight of pottery and hopefully about to enter the copper age, wish me luck :3

BACK TO IT AFTER A WEEK OF LIFE GETTIN IN THE WAY LETS GO

[cr1msonriver]

might go ahead and actually try some very minor quality of life mods along with some additions to the base game to enhance early gameplay

[cr1msonriver]

how 

how do all of these look? :3

Looking good!
Personally I would add Chisel Tools to the modlist, it's such a huge quality of life addition if you love building.

Simple HUD is a wildly popular one.  I'm kinda surprised it isn't in your list already.
Step Up not included?  That's a huge QoL one that removes jumping for climbing over one block elevation changes
Fancy Sky is another one that simply beautifies the sky in dazzling ways.

I am amazed none of those throw warnings, at the very least. Had no idea so many of those had been updated already.

great selection of mods! I'll make a note and try this set too
