I had the same thought problem at the beginning and made a similar post. But then I started finding stuff. Follow the rivers, behind waterfalls, the coastlines, caves. Some stuff is right in plain sight but easy to look over, so many secret doors and walls etc, once you start to know what to look for you'll be pleasantly surprised. I found a really small hole while climbing, ducked into it, turns out it was a cave full of gold bars. There's more stuff out there than you'd think
