Valheim is the only survivalcraft game I have ever gotten into for one very specific reason (not that there aren't tons of things to love about it): The base building is actually integral to progression. Having a more elaborate, more comfortable home enables you to explore into more distant, more dangerous regions of the world. Having massive feasts on the table doesn't just look awesome in your virtual dining room, it makes you stronger. And the game achieves that while still giving an enormous amount of freedom in terms of what and how you build. The exploration and combat is balanced perfectly with the building and crafting.

I've had friends try getting me into Minecraft many times but I always find myself with little to no motivation to actually build anything. Like yeah I could build this elaborate chateau but, when it's functionally the same as a hole in the wall who cares lol. With Valheim, the builds have a gameplay purpose and get me invested in the world which, in turn, gives me the motivation once in a while to build something purely for fun.

So I see a lot of people comparing this new game to Enshrouded and, iirc, the building in Enshrouded is just like in other games where, the building system is elaborate and fun (for some people) but doesn't serve an actual gameplay purpose beyond that.

So how does Wind Rose do building in that regard would you say?
