I'm wondering if making walls thicker would help. Like having both sides be regular walls and having a middle bit that's just crossbeams and an X shape. I am not redoing my house again for a while though lol

So I was done playing Apex for the night and hopped on to a discord where some buddies were playing on our server. I was just gonna pop in and see what they have done today. That was a mistake.
Kept playing for another 3 hours and now it's 2am and I have to get up in 5 hours.
This shit is addicting.
Everything about building in this game comes down to how far you are from a base tile. If you put something on the ground, this will be colored blue. You can then connect another 5 (I think) pieces in any direction before it can't support it anymore.
The way to have something high up be supported is to connect something else to it that requires less pieces to touch the ground. The 4 meter poles are the best option for this since you can reach quite far with very few pieces.

20 bucks is very low risk investment, unless you're worried about the time investment. In which case yeah gl with that.
New dump!
The key to big house building is getting Core Wood from the Dark Forest for logs - 2x as long, and stronger supports.
This is my dock-house. Boat-Dock, check, House for me, check. Really happy with it.
It does flood during storms (and the lights go out...)
I think I should turn grass on, kept it off for performance-sake! Game runs well enough for me tho.

4m poles? Is that the core wood one or am I not far along enough yet
Join me
Yeah, that one.
I hope they will add even longer pieces later on so you can build some really big stuff.

It was my mistake. I removed the bottom floors corewood beam cause it was going through my dinner table so they one on top had no ground level support and was causing that part of the ceiling to collapse.
Now that I have a somewhat functional base I decided to venture out looks for materials and adventure. Found a mountain, began freezing and got killed by a wolf. Now begins the adventure to get my shit back lol.
Ahhhh I thought that was only 2m so I ignored it. Guess I'll futz around with that later.
Ah yeah that'll do it. I got killed before I could drop my portal on another island and had to make a dinky little raft and wait forever to sail to the other place, heh
EDIT: On a side note, holy hell, make a
Fermenter/Cauldron before heading to the Swamp. Poison Resistance? Yes please. Can also do Frost Resistance for the mountain
AFAIK you can't. I tried and couldn't do it. Only carrots and turnips so far. Feels like you should be able to, though.
This game... Surprises on every corner.
Will use a spoiler so you guys experience it yourself:
And thats how I got my harpoon guys.
Really fun to use:

Built a raft to test it out and went on a short tour into the ocean biome. Saw an island with barnacles on it that I could harvest for chitin. Missed a few hits and noticed that the island/rock didnt get damaged. Thought it might a design thing so islands cant get destroyed.
Kept trying a few more hits and suddenly I heard a deep growl and the ground was shaking. I just thought "wtf" and everything went back to normal. 30 seconds later it does it again but this time it starts moving and dissaperaing in the sea.
It was a freakin gigantic sea turtle!

Played it a bit today and it´s quite fun. I set up an dedicated server, but I´m a bit unhappy with the beginning of the game, is there a way to regenerate a new world? I deleted the dedicated server and installed it new but even when changing server name and passwort it keeps throwing me in the same world it generated the first time.
Yes you can make a new world at any time. Just choose a new one when you are selecting your character.
OP

It worked :-) I did not look at the "Start Game" Tab where it listed the server as dedicated and just joined the server via "Join Game" and searched for the name and put in the password, but it makes sense that it will not spawn a new world. That would be a bit counterproductive if running an dedicated server for my friends and me.
We played a lot of Forest and Grounded, let´s see how the like it. Just installed it today to test it out to give em an opinion. Maybe it will be a good balance to valorant.

Fun fact, I recently figured out an "exploit" of sorts when it comes to having multiple games
Get your ore, get near a portal. Log out, drop the ore in a chest in a different game. Log into main game, portal. Log out and collect the ore in the other map. Log back in.
You can, but we had to do it from shore. I'm not sure if you can repair while on the boat or not.
Yep. Just make sure to select "Repair" when using your hammer (it's the hammer icon in the top left corner of the first tab), then left-click on it.
I think it's wild how often I forget this game is so pixelated. It blends form and function so well.
Very productive day! Got myself a bronze set, killed 2 trolls, then helped a friend kill The Elder and had a brief romp in the swamp (I died). Got to use the teleporters, too!
These are incredible! My house is basically a shack with a wonky roof that if the rain is coming in from the wrong direction will put the fire out!
I need to spend more time understanding how to build, especially roofing!
We've built a main base in the meadows, and then an outpost in the Black Forest, but there are no damn pigs anywhere near the outpost and I need leather for every damn thing. I guess it's time to start a pig farm at the meadows base, cos it's getting old going out to hunt pigs every time I wanna craft something.
Also considering pathening the route between the two and building a bridge over the river, but that is gonna take time.

How do you place trophies on the wall?
Lol yeah, I invited 7 friends and they basically have been building and mining for the last few days.
Quick question is there a quicker way to get wood, looking at some of these structures being built above I imagine they must take hundreds if not thousands of bits of wood.
I'm basically just chopping down trees with a flint axe and feel like it would take hours alone just to gather any meaningful amount of wood on my own, i'll do it but just wondered if i'm missing something.
I'm still in the first area and haven't challenged the boss yet.

My friend picked this up and it looks interesting but I just wanted to make sure of something before picking it up. Am I right in thinking that the servers in this aren't all shared? So it's not like Rust where you have to deal with knobs coming and breaking things, you can just play fully offline or privately with friends on a server?
Yeah. I haven't played a game in a long time where hours just disappear. It feels like it's been 30 minutes, but it's actually 6 hours later and you're wondering why you didn't cook dinner yet.
Man i love the character progression in this, feels so good to be running faster and jumping higher after playing many hours haha.
I just had my first real death though and it was ROUGH. Finally started making my way to the second boss on a slow ass raft, only to get curious after seeing a new biome about halfway, which upon getting closer resulted in a very quick death. Getting back to my body and making sure I don't die again took HOURS and was stressful, but it was a good learning experience
Need to get a teleport network started asap

So I ended up buying it after doing some research on it. I also stumbled upon this video and seeing as some people were having issues with building stability I thought I'd share it. I just launched the game for the first time so I don't know how accurate it is but I hope it's helpful.
It's already in, server controller can toggle it.
But it is IIRC very simple right now.
you can turn in pvp damage for yourself by clicking the two swords icon in the top right of the inventory
