@williams_482 ...woah, the way you speak of this kinda reminds me of my therapist and how he would discuss confronting issues with my anxiety... this is really useful advice and you are also now instantly a cool person in my book ::D basically what you are saying is i should waddle back into World One, get out of my house and go chop down a tree, make myself a new door, make myself some armor, push that one shiver in my forge over the pit kiln and go ham. i actually have keepinventory on, so the only thing i have to worry about losing is location... also, your comment about which monsters to target made me realize that aggroing one monster, as far as i know, will not instantly cause all the others to also gang up on me xˣ_ˣx. for some reason that was what i had set up in my hindbrain, which is also a total anxiety disaster scenario WHOOPSIES. if i can find the constitution to rejoin that world, i will certainly go do that... maybe i should set up some kind of one-way fence system at the mouth of my forge`s cave-proper to herd bowtorn into also, sounds kinda fun... anyway; this did not answer my question at all so i will not be marking it as solution, but i think it is actually better than what i was looking for... you are REALLY REALLY cool!! imma go pick a fight with some demons >::D

yeah, i am pretty sure by now that that was fully Not a storm, just my dumbass waltzing straight into a rift... TO BE FAIR, those things come out of goddamn nowhere and i SWEAR i have not had a single one spawn in a normal spot since, THEY ARE ALL ALWAYS ON TOP OF ME. like gee no wonder i got so scared XXp. either way, that was certainly a memorable experience...

okay but consider: that was funny as hell

i... i can confirm that that is Exactly what i did because i nearly just did it again. i

completely gone now by the way. massive fuckass rift right outside of my hidey-hole, but other than that... did i somehow waltz straight into a rift without noticing...?

(all in some sort of jest... i actually think this is really funny how this happened, even if i am immediately Fucked) minding my own business exploring and eating bushes and then BOOM, goddamn full terrible majesty of a temporal storm rolls in, tanks my stability in five seconds, and leaves me curled up in a hole slowly dying of what the hell. this is my FIRST EVER STORM. i was given no warning. what the fuck it is day FIVE

hi haiiii!!!!! on world one (tried with the grace timer as ten days, ran out, got scared and only then tried using a command to bump the grace period up) there was still a bowtorn running around behind my house, which makes sense with what the wiki said about not being able to set it after world creation... on world two i ran the command to set it while in the character editor, and then after day one passed and i got the message again, i went into... serverconfig.json and, finding world two with its file path in there, also tried to set it from 10 to 200 in there. (no idea how that works though...) thing is, i really really dont want to have to play world two for another six hours just to see whether any of my measures worked... i think my big issue here is just that i see a lot of... implications floating around about the nature of all this stuff, but being very new i have no idea what to make of any of it, let alone how any of it actually works xˣ_ˣx i think i would really like to know what in the world serverconfig.json even actually is...

i want to at least try to acclimate to the full environment of this game; i think having to see the monsters in my day to day without them trying to harm me would help reduce my irrational anxiety about them. that and i think the creature designs are neat. i play passive but not no-hostility because being attacked out of nowhere out of any time is not my cup of tea, but it feels kinda silly when my prey, no matter how capable, does not even try to defend itself when i injure it... but i have heard horror stories about monsters aggroing onto players after tripping over their open pit kilns and i REALLY do not want a shiver to come in and gank me out of nowhere, without me picking a fight with it, because i was firing a watering can... ooh, maybe it is just bugging out... i dont feel particularly like waiting another ten days to see, though XXp

i always get into fights like this with new apps... because i am a scaredy cat (ha), i wanted to set a very long grace timer before creating my world. i wanted to try for 200 days, but the menus only let you set up to ten... tried that, but it turns out i could barely get on my feet and now i am too terrified to leave my own house because i worry something will trip over one of my pit kilns and aggro on me xˣ_ˣx. the wiki states that you can set the grace timer using commands, but also that this can only be done during world creation; and as far as i can tell the earliest time i can enter commands is not "during world creation", judging by that setting it to 200 in the character creation screen decidedly Did Not set it to 200 in-game (chat still says i have "over 9 days" after day one). i really hope it is possible to bump the grace timer like this... i am sick of playing games completely neutered, but also WAY too anxious to just jump right in xˣ_ˣx
