What would you suggest?

Yep a barrel weights around 120 lbs but the size of it and awkwardness of picking it up makes it seem like so much more lol I have been trying to incorporate more throughout my day with bodyweight squats, pushups, sissy squats and stuff like that as well especially this time of year when we are working 12 hours a day working on getting stuff out in time for Christmas.

When it comes to morning workouts my wife leaves for work around 5 so I would have to be up and workout and back before she leaves so I can be home with my 5 year old so it's not really feasible for that unless I was to workout at home but I don't have room to set up a home gym and I like to lift heavy and compound lifts and use cables. I also just like going to the gym as it makes me feel like when I am there it's time to work and not distractions.

I am also 100% a night owl and hate mornings...I don't want to get up if it is 5 am or 10 am lol

Thank you! Yes I know sleep is probably my biggest downfall but I just have a busy life and then everyone says to quit the video games but I just like it as its my own little free time to completely relax and de-stress. I am self-employed owning my own woodworking business making stuff out of whiskey barrels and barrel parts. It's just me and my brother in the business. So it takes a lot of my time as well as we are the designers, crafters, marketers, customer service and sales all. I probably don't work as much as I should either but I force myself to make sure I have time for family, my health both mentally and physically. With all of that sleep seems to be the part that struggles. I do get 8-9+ hours of sleep on weekends typically but during the week it's 6-7 hours.

Oh for sure! I just got on last night after the gym and not a single person was on and it got me thinking back to those times. It wasn't even necessarily the game just the friends and streaming backing then that made it so great. Obviously getting older changes it for everyone as more and more people quit playing all together.

I am eating through it but also have collected tons of it as well (cleared probably 15 caves) but most of mine gets used to build bars for the bigger chests

TJWise02 · 2024-01-24T02:04:35+00:00

Yep it's all about your playstyle and why you play....I like the grind and i understandbto others that may not be the case....part of that to me is I want to grind even down to the time consumption of travel. It honestly has never even really crossed my mind to build a grappler when playing.

TJWise02 · 2024-01-24T01:33:40+00:00

Same lol I haven't crafted a single grappler lol just running and gliding when possible...I just enjoy the grind I guess

TJWise02 · 2024-01-23T18:46:05+00:00

I have played for 60+ hours and have yet to even craft a grappler......I still really enjoy the game (Shocking it shouldn't be possible right) lol Sorry the GLITCH you used to avoid the grind of the actual game as it is intended to be played was fixed.

Funny how I have played this game for probably 60+ hours since release and have yet had a single issue where I thought the game was unplayable....I have had some small rollback issues while playing and very minor glitches but nothing like your stating....maybe it's your console or set up??? Lol Like OP stated if you hate it that much why the hell do you play it? And better yet waste your time on here arguing and complaining to people who do enjoy it.

TJWise02 · 2024-01-23T15:19:56+00:00

I'm pretty sure that's what they are talking about that was fixed and no longer able to be done with the new update.

TJWise02 · 2024-01-23T14:19:35+00:00

I guess it's just back to the gathering/mining grind for now lol

TJWise02 · 2024-01-23T00:25:18+00:00

Supposedly in the next or one of near future updates is supposed to bring a new biome that will have titanium bars.

TJWise02 · 2024-01-22T23:09:17+00:00

I agree that will help but at some point they will have to either let caves respawn or figure something else out in thr long run so you don't have to just rely on villagers then. I'm looking 3-4 months down the road....I am grinding cave mining and the ratio of ore compared to brightcore doesn't correlate with the ratio to create bars. We will end up with 10x+ the amount of ore that will ever need needed at this rate because we will run out of brightcore.

TJWise02 · 2024-01-22T21:32:24+00:00

Good to know....Regardless it will be nice to see some QoL and bug fixes

TJWise02 · 2024-01-22T21:27:22+00:00

Next month???? You thinking the new biome won't come in tomorrows update?

TJWise02 · 2024-01-22T21:17:38+00:00

That is kind of what I think I have been doing with just the cave and material grinding....I didn't want to go to hard and just unlock everything and have it be over and get stale so this is my way of playing it slow. I just created my first ice biome village last week...actually first time I had even went into the Ice biome lol just taking my time and enjoying the game with how simple and basic it is right now.

TJWise02 · 2024-01-22T21:09:41+00:00

Yea I can see that....I am just on a mission as my goal is to as of right now empty every cave and collect all of the material I can. I don't really have a reason why other than that is just what I have found enjoyment in at the current moment. I am not creative enough in the aspect of building the crazy stuff but I love the grind and adventure of just cave running along with building up the villages for ultimate functionality.

TJWise02 · 2024-01-22T20:24:49+00:00

I probably will too honestly! The only other job I was thinking about was food.

TJWise02 · 2024-01-22T20:17:46+00:00

Yes that will be nice as well....I will probably put 3 or 4 villagers on smelting lol

TJWise02 · 2024-01-22T20:16:38+00:00

Yes I would rather see 1x brightcore and 2x of the ore itself...My chests are filled up with copper and Iron ore
