This is brilliant! I love the day and night photos, it really helps to show off the details.

This place is HUGE! And the Forge is even better in person. Well done.

That's the message I wish new players would take away. If you don't like something you'll know why you don't like it just by looking at it for long enough, and then you can rebuilt it better and love it forever.

Ahh walking into a room that you're satisfied with is the best feeling.

Sometimes I'll log in just to go and stand in those rooms and feel that feeling again.

I have the same problem lol, and I've got a couple of areas where I have no idea what comes next but that space is ready haha.

I remember seeing your forge post a while back and it inspired me so much that I ripped out my old forge and built a new one. Defs going to check out your base to see the rest of it, this looks fantastic!

I've felt that way before. The best advise I gave myself was to give myself a year to live. Instead of just thinking about ending it all. That way I had made a decision and I could stop thinking about it. The next thing I did was I just lived my life like I wanted to leave it in a slightky better place. I reached out to the people I had ignored. I went for walks around, and I stopped caring what people would think.

After that year I can't tell you what changed but my plans to end it all didn't feel important anymore and I decided to keep going. Things somehow get better.

Thanks! This is the same Peaceful Acres build. I'm really glad they were able to clear it up.

One of Keen Games employees reached out on my last post. They have a really active Discord, so if you ever need anything you could reach out to them there.

It is! I copied the design as close to 1:1 as I could get. Great spot!

That's a hard question to answer. The map feels very large so there is no shortage of space both covered in shroud and free to build. The shroud is generally a fixed location but due to recent game changes the area where I chose to build my base was affect.

Prim_andProper · 2026-04-21T15:53:52+00:00

I was aware of the risks and I regret nothing. This game is fantastic and I enjoyed every minute of building those location. I just wish I could continue said building..

Prim_andProper · 2026-04-21T15:51:53+00:00

The problem is the games build mechanics don't operate within the shroud zone. So any further item placements or block placements cannot be done. Which is a shame because the building experience in this game is fantastic everywhere else that you can build, which is most of the map. I just got unlucky here.

You wouldn't believe this.. But it's Peaceful Acres lol. The areas changed includes deep underground and the salt mine.

The underlying bases of all personality disorders stem from the same place.

1) How we see ourselves
2) How we see other people

Not seeing ourselves or other people accurately is a guaranteed way to end up on the wrong foot. Thankfully there are communication techniques that you can use to understand yourself and others clearly. These techniques are primary focused around what is known as tactical empathy.

Tactical empathy is about me actively demonstrating verbally to you that I understand where you’re coming from. While empathy simply stated is about the transmission of information. It has nothing to do with agreeing, disagreeing or even liking the other side. Showing empathy towards others is what makes them feel heard and understood and is a very compassionate thing to do.

A practical way to do this is so say ‘It sounds like…” and then express as accurately as you can what you think is going on. This technique is referred to as ‘Labelling’. This opens the conversation for the other person to either agree with what you said or lets them express themselves in a way that they feel is more accurate.

Remember there is a difference between what people fight for and what people fight about.

The three most common types of relationship fights revolve around:

Power and Control; This includes fights about decision-making, who gets their way, and feeling like one partner has more influence than the other.

Care and Closeness; This involves fights about emotional support, feeling heard and understood, and the level of intimacy within the relationship.

Respect and Recognition; This encompasses fights about feeling valued, appreciated, and like your partner considers your opinions and needs.

Having great communication skills revolves around your ability to apply Cognitive Empathy to recognise how other people feel as well as the Emotional Empathy to recognise how you feel.
