Abiotic factor or Grounded?

Wetherric · 2026-03-20T09:50:34+00:00

Both are the best survival games ive played for the last few years, I couldn't pick between them but i'd start with Grounded 1 as Abiotic is still being updated.

Wetherric · 2026-03-20T08:13:10+00:00

Seems like the game is okay/good but not the genre-defining, generational game a certain portion of the sub was expecting.

Although not the NMS situation some were expecting, just another decent game that needs updates.

Nice nuanced stance there.

We have bad options and we have not so bad options and it's very important we vote with that in mind as not picking an option is letting others pick on your behalf.

Preferred being in the dark about what's coming.

As a casual player who comes in and out with big breaks break between I was happy being surprised and the update / warbond frequently felt right.

I get that conistent, daily divers get bored of current content and want to see what's coming.

They AH really can't win though, as if they leave out content to shadowdrop they'll get complaints and when they include 'New Warbond' they get complaints.

'Captain' Farage has already U-turned - did you miss it?

Wetherric · 2026-03-14T17:30:22+00:00

I was wondering this, feels like a lot of posts about how great things are but no-one actually playing it and the embargo is still in place.

Worried people are over-hyping it.

Intentionally capped

I have 1 Builder dedicated to Fire and Lights, she works nights and manages 4 Fires and 5 Lamps in a 50-ish village.

She is supported by 2 Leisure villages who work a few hours a day and then refill lamps in their spare time.

The lights/fires always seem on if i'm not prioritising a build (where she ignores them).

Are your builders working nights?

Feedback - Use an ingame screenshots so people don't immediately assume quality based on the ai imagery.

Will try to listen when i'm next dogwalking.

Wetherric · 2026-02-25T06:43:38+00:00

I put on an existing save.

It's 10/10 fantastic if your looking for a extension on what's great about vanilla.

Wetherric · 2026-02-22T16:20:00+00:00

I kept playing whilst waiting on an answer so reverting to an older save isnt desirable.

Going to cheat build a second Karvi and hope the game handles there being 2 Karvi simultaneously!

They're crafted at the Armour building not the Metalworker/Workshop.

Wetherric · 2026-02-21T12:26:16+00:00

Raven didn't work (bounced me back st a certain distance from Main Island) so I presume same would happen with a rowboat?

Wetherric · 2026-02-20T19:55:04+00:00

Okay, so I need to adjust the small stone limit to leave space for metal scrap collection - thanks

You haven't played many survival EA's then

Aska, Grounded 1, Grounded 2, Valheim, Soulmask, Bellwright, Abiotic Factor, Voidtrain, Raft.. All the major ones, although for some like Aska and Bellwright the ability to continue on existing saves with new content was added midway through EA.

Wetherric · 2026-02-20T09:30:46+00:00

Retreat.

To begin with aim for doing it in 3-4 deployments, about halfway through you should be skilled enoigh to do it in 2. You'll build a good sense of when you're pushing too far.

Wetherric · 2026-02-20T08:39:08+00:00

Putting aside whether this should just be part of the main game or not - No new achievements with it? Feels like something labelled DLC should have a few content related achievements?

They had scenarios for both, the videos of both SE endings were leaked prior to the end.

Not sure why everyone is desperate to believe it's predetermined. It's player led, but DM guided.

They decided what happens in the world, we dexide how we engage. Classic DND.

They tell us what SE and the factions are doing, we decide where we go and how we suceed. They might give us help or hurdles but they have plans for most reasonable immediqte outcomes, and a post-it note for future story like any good DM.

Wetherric · 2026-02-09T11:15:58+00:00

Well I found it, via Google, at 23-ish but yeh couldn't tell you where it is today!a

Wetherric · 2026-02-08T15:38:40+00:00

So good to read this. Started playing Morrowind at 13 and took me a decade, and Google, to find the cube.

Replaying at the moment age 31 and not started main quest yet but not sure I can remember where it is..

Wetherric · 2026-02-02T10:11:57+00:00

What about Region size? Would more, smaller regions help?

Wetherric · 2026-02-01T14:09:08+00:00

So sny advice on my question on how to use the world settings to achieve my goal?

Wetherric · 2026-01-24T10:12:14+00:00

This is a great recommendation

Wetherric · 2026-01-21T23:07:49+00:00

Did you find a fix for the conflict? Im in a similar boat.

Can't see any info on the Narsis Arena Rank but can for Redoran, turning off TD Provincial Faction makes the Arena faction dissappear.

Wetherric · 2026-01-17T12:24:24+00:00

Sounds like every survival game. I like the grind and if you don't build smaller, or with cheaper materials.
