Waddles

I cannot seem to eat some of the new foods like the berry bread and the cured sausages.

I think the people who complain about the weather pushing people, do not live in very windy areas like Fargo.. as a hefty person, I can sometimes be pushed around rather easily, we worry sometimes about my husband's mother who is a stick on very windy days. I personally enjoy the weather pushing my character, I was actually rather impressed by it and thought it was neat mechanic, however, I do think the direction needs to change too. Yes, I know someone says wind always comes from the west, but there are other factors that change its direction and so it is not unreasonable for the wind to shift. I was building my house during a windy day, and I had to get creative on how to go about it until the wind calmed down, maybe the wind can have various strengths behind it. On a more rare occasion have it able to push you and other times just blows the grass around. Another person is stopping the game because its very grindy, this is 100% the reason I picked up this game. I am tired of hand holding sandbox games where really its slam bam thank you ma'am and you are done with what you are doing. I love the grind. I am new to this game, 10 hours into it and I am finally figuring things out. If I wanted to play another minecraft, I would jump on that. My only complaint right now, is the lack of carry space. I like how small it is at start, and yeah getting baskets add to it, but I am finding it very hard to upgrade very early. I like the idea of a weight based system. As for crops, I don't know if there is one, but a greenhouse would be great for those. There could be different sizes, like you could build a full building or a small lid one. I have not tried multi player, but by playing single, I can agree that things like crops would be an issue and demand more play time. I suppose it encourages more people to team up and base with each other so there are more people to keep an eye on things versus playing alone in a multi player world. I think the best way to handle it are NPCs you can find/hire that can help manage some things for you. I am about to go on my first big explore, while carrying a bit of meat, find berries on the way and hunt when I can. Hunker down in dirt hut with a grass mat, mark it on my map and continue next day. Should be fun!
