Hiya Folks

[Projeear]

So I thought I'd give this game a go after all these years with a friend.

Found a spot, settled in, started building and gathering. Good (PTSD) memories, talking of old 4-hour speedboat chases, permadeath griefers, depantsing.

After one gathering session I ported back, and there are wolves at the door - literally. I just about make it running back into my timber house. I'm thinking they'll despawn/wander off after a little while - fair enough.

I alt+Tab onto something else for a quick minute, only to realise a moment later the wolves have destroyed our brand new house and I'm lying there KO like a dork.

You guys want to explain this sh*t to me?

Brief summary of " 3 little pigs" story.

If you go inside a structure, the animals will attack it if the soak is low enough.

Newly built houses (and a few other things) have 0 soak when you first build them and gradually increase in soak over time until they reach the full soak value. It was implemented because of griefing or something.

I'm finding about 95% of the gameplay is layers on layers of anti-griefer and anti-bot countermeasures. It's fairly jarring.

Haven and Hearth 3 when?

[Kearn]

pretty similar to old haven in that anyone too close to a major settlement gets bulldozed and large areas of the world are consistently sparsely inhabited and more or less free of player interaction

cant say i feel too bad about the gradual implementation of more mechanics designed to prevent antisocial or uncounterable behavior

creatures generally now can break things so no more cheesing them with boulders or stick stockpiles

and hello if you remember me

[abt79]

just dont start during winter, spring, or full moons bro. It’s totally reasonable and intuitive

Spitroasting fish is the best FEPs during the first days, if not weeks.

bad take detected wee woo wee woo, doesnt really feel like (to me) any more than legacy in terms of them getting in the way. especially in regards to things starting at no soak and building from there, excuse me while i drop a strongbox outside your front door or wall around you giving you about 3 minutes to catch me in the act of blocking your gates

phaen you described it like they're actively heat seeking the hearthling, you can especially use a burrow/no soak house/whatever etc without having the animal bash it, its just very inadvisable due to how finnicky it is and how you'd better fuckin pray the thing doesnt clip on the structure

I like the fact that someone can't drop an entire safe palisade next to my base while I'm asleep, idk why you think soak isn't nice.

Oh ok so they one bash it because it's blocking their pathing? I guess I learned something
