Steel dungeon

, you really only get shit if you really exploit it

thats the name of the whole game, and usually the response to that , is changing the mechanics in a way that make exploits neccesary to get anywhere.

if you didnt exploit hunting, you wouldnt have eaten a bear yet.
all thanks to armour, and mach 5 fleeing animals wich are in the game specifically to reduce the exploits of boat hunting.

I've always though their should be a whale dungeon.

Inside the whales should be locked by land so they cannot move for easy farming. The boss of the Whale dungeon should drop meteorite

just get randomly swallowed by whale. while on deep ocean no other entrances.

if you finish, you get pooped out with your boat,
if you KO, you respawn on the nearest shore. boat becomes floatsam.
you can heart out, sacking the boat.

no way to farm unless you have alts that can solo dungeons just patroll deepwater 24/7
