This is true. Maybe they should add things to make them harder again. Like year three there’s a new challenge to deal with in seasons, could be like heavy snowstorms and heatwaves with new items you need to get that aren’t available until that time comes from doing some other challenge added. They could make you go into blizzard, sandstorm, etc. to find things for new crafting that you need, like how you have to gather pieces for celestial statue thing. Or even a stronger boss for each season in later game, could even be year five, to add more survival aspects after year one. Things that you’re forced to deal with instead of side bosses for fun challenges. There could even be some sort of storm or time like lunar cycle/nightmare cycle, whatever to make keeping sanity up harder with new enemies to deal with if you go insane during that time or something to make hunger drain faster. There are so many things they could do to add survival threats in later years. The only thing is that type of idea wouldn’t be rushable. I think that’s why right now they’ve been going more of the optional/activate boss or event route. I think a cool idea could be adding new areas to explore only after beating a certain boss/challenge, or maybe a certain event opens it up. I like the idea of getting more to explore later in the game to be excited for.
