Howdy, I'm on day 11 and hitting the copper stage. I've been looking for copper for a long ass time now, however, my issue is more or less the enemy spawns. Originally, I did not start the game with a grace period. So, I got 2 tapped by a bow guy; rage quit the save, started a new game with a 5 day grace period. Great, Now I can actually build equipment before I get 2 tapped by an enemy that I couldn't even spot in the time it took me to die.
Except now that the grace period is over. The enemy spawns are . . . everywhere. If I could kill them all in one batch, that'd be fine. But it's constant. And by constant, I mean, it's never ending. I had 6 spears at one point and broke all 6 killing a horde in a small ass cave. I ran out of flint just making spears to handle this BS. I had 45 arrows ready for one expedition, couldn't even get into the cave because I ended up blowing that and another 6 spears just trying to find out whether or not that specific cave has copper in it.
Is this suppose to be the difficulty cap for the game? Look, I'm experienced in survival games. Block games too. But wow, throwing endless hordes at you is just . . . numbing. Combined with the fact that my character needs to eat 10 meals a day or else I'll die; it's a really big vibe killer to have to sift through.
