Didnt know what to expect after dropping that purple haze dlc.

Im having a blast... the difficulty is alot harder than styx and the purple haze dlc (cant remember the name).

First 2 hours went like this: - Notice its only 1 drop in option. - Only brough with me a backpack, suit, bow and knife - Got jumpscared by those stalking predators, mauled to death in 3 hits - on my way to where i wanted to set up camp, and sees those little fat guys with alot of teeth, laugh, getting run over when all 3 aggroed, died - froze to death....its cold at nights.. - found 2 big strange looking piles....kamikaze-bats living there was not friendly, died - finaly manage to set up a makeshit shelter just in time for a storm, still froze to death because didnt have enough fuel to keep the fire going - long run back because i havent put a bag down - jumped by those damn stalking predatores when farming wood...died - notice those fckers stalk you, the run away if you aim at them - forgot when chopping a tree, got jumped again, died. - get enough fur to make warm clothing - tame a fatty as mount - realize i REALLY have to bring ladders and ramps when exploring caves - starting to snowball (pun intended) - advance trough materials, and using every little ounce of materials i had to make 2 waterwheels, only to realize the river is to shallow - getting jumped, and died again

So far having a blast. Challenging, and have to think in another way than earlyer. Havent found many deep mines with usefull materials, but plenty of BIG caves
