Before people could simply build their own little (or big) base, completely ignoring LP farming, and get enough LPs to evolve and learn new functions to keep using the sandbox. Now, people are forced to think about LP farming, curios, etc. They simply *can't* ignore the LP-grinding aspect of the game. But that's something you are completely missing, as tou're a hardcore grinder

That LP you get quickly goes away once you've discovered everything; which isn't much.Potjeh wrote:Well, for one thing I got diametrically opposite conclusions about the influence on playstyle.

This, I spent ages sailing around the boat, looking for a good place to set up shop, Stopping along the way for ant nests or people foolish enough to have an unclaimed settlement in sight from the river.Potjeh wrote:Well, for one thing I got diametrically opposite conclusions about the influence on playstyle.

If I did that on any other World, I would have got shit all LP.
I actually got to play the game and have fun, rather than it become a boring grind fest.
