Keep getting tempted to play TLD again, but it sounds like the beginning of story mode is just around the corner, so I keep telling myself to wait.

Walking is so slow in TLD and everything is really far away.

Has anyone tried Empyrion: Galactic Survival for any significant chunk of time? Looks really interesting, great reviews on Steam, but even at 50% off it's riiight at that point where I'm wary about plunking down for it. Comparisons to Space Engineers / StarMade would be especially useful. (Also holy geeze, why are survival games sprouting up like weeds? Like obviously Minecraft was the grandaddy, but did I miss a generation 2-3 years ago where there were some really hugely successful ones to inspire all these wannabes?)

A ton of goons have been playing it lately. We are on a server of about ~80 and have been dominating as the pirate faction. It's basically eve meets space engineers. Check it out: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3793800&perpage=40&pagenumber=6

I haven't read the whole thing but the popularity of the thread bodes well for it. quote:(Also holy geeze, why are survival games sprouting up like weeds?

I downloaded Minecraft again and had forgotten how much I love games like that. What's the new hotness for survival/building? I played Ark but, like Rust, it was ruined by other people.

It's not blocky but it does have base building and a pretty awesome pre-designed world to explore. Don't Starve, especially the multiplayer Version (sold as a seperate game) are pretty great Wilderness Survival games. It's not much of a builder though.

I don't know if anyone's taken a look at this, but Orcish Inn looks like it has potential. It's not so much "survival" as base-building from what I've seen, but still might be of interest to folks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKxMEHotaI8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58Ot6diwBXc

Bought The Long Dark in the last sale, it seems alright but it feels like I'm spending ~75% of the time going through menus and waiting for progress bars to fill up... am I playing it right?

Looks neat, but looking at the Greenlight page, there hasn't been an update in over a year and the dev is pimping out a new game instead. Pretty much vaporware.

It'll get quicker as you learn the patterns of the game and learn how to establish places to store your stuff. But yeah, there's definitely a curve and a lot of the menus take some getting used to.

Anyone played Eden Star? It seems like a pretty fun mix of base bulding, tower defense, Halo style combat and survival game. Ha, thats a lot of content stuffed into one game.

Man for moment I thought you guys were talking about Shelter, a game where you play as a mother badger, which is also technically a survival simulations game. I've only played it's sequel though.

I'm sure I'm just really bad at it but this game is hard. Gotta balance lots of things and I can't seem to get the resources I need, quick enough, to survive. I've only gotten up to 26 days before everyone succumbed to radiation poisoning. If everyone who is loyal enough to be sent on missions dies, you lose, even if you have a bunch of other people left over.

Yeah I have no idea how to get enough supplies to make the recycler because that seems to be the big thing. Half the poo poo I find scavenging has to be recycled first. That said the dog is stupid overpowered. I just mug everyone I come across and the dog will take 50-70% of the enemy's health off before combat even begins.

The horse is real nice for scavenging. Reduces the water you need and lets you carry more. Need to build that stable or it'll get poisoned when you're out of meds; takes three food a day as well, unless you just send it on missions constantly.

My strategy with Sheltered was to send everybody bar one person out scavenging all the time. Stay-at-home person does repairs and building and goes out when the first scavenger comes back. The more people you have outside gathering stuff, the better off you are. Oh, and the first thing I built is two water holders, since water is the limiting resource in the game. I think I got to 60 days before I felt comfortable, and that's unfortunately when the game takes a steep nosedive into boring.

My strategy for sheltered is to build a roomful of water holders and sell the surplus to trader boardcast. Literally raining money when you have enough holders. It does get boring after 60 days.

I tried this out yesterday and couldn't play for more than a couple minutes due to the tiny draw distance. Like, I climbed a mountain and could still only see like 25 blocks in front of me. Probably just my old crappy computer, but it was really disappointing. I really want to like the game, I even know someone who works for Robot and they're a great artist

I've made it to day 60 with only the mom dying so far. I only have a single upgraded door and a shotgun trap though. I've been giving ten food to the guy who comes by to threaten me. Recycling takes a long time.

There are times when I forget it's there in my steam library, but whenever I load it up & get over the early hump it is all I play and/or think about until I die and get depressed that I let down survivor lady once again  It's easily one of my most favorite games that I get loads of replay value from for being an early access sandbox game that came out over 2 years ago. I've been riding the razors edge on Interloper the last couple days, dropping my condition as low as 2% while praying for a fish to hook my line as I'm stuck outside with cabin fever, no energy, no calories, and a dwindling fire in my hut. I've reached the point (around 60 days I think) I need to start hunting for wolves and bears and jesus it is nerve wracking every time I leave the coastal highway garage. For as long as I've enjoyed playing it I've never figured out how to be a good shot with the bow & arrow so I'll probably just need to cheese it with one of the fishing huts, unless bears have figured out how to get inside them

Yeah it can be incredibly intense, something I haven't really experienced in other survival / crafting games. They're more for just loving around and trying to break the game, while the tighter gameplay and scope of TLD makes it into an intense survival experience. I just read the roadmap & can't wait for them to add the content they're planning. I personally don't care for VR support or different seasons that much, surviving in the nuclear winter is enough for me. http://hinterlandgames.com/the-long-dark/roadmap/ quote:NEAR TERM (1-6 Month Window) Dyna Soar fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Dec 14, 2016 |

The full season survival sandbox, while awesome, almost sounds like a different game - or maybe something more realistically set for TLD 2. I can't imagine how intensive those changes would be.

Simulating the spring, summer and fall would be so complex that I don't think there'll ever be a sandbox for those games, just a continuation of the storyline into different seasons. That's my guess.

The forest of FULL of food in the spring, summer and fall and honestly if they'd give a survival sandbox of different season they'd have to implement a lot of that food, not to mention ways to preserve it for the winter. And that's just the food. Like, I'd be really dissapointed if they didn't implement at least a dozen different eatable mushrooms, where they grow as well as a bunch of poisonous ones.

Then make a seperate one for spring and autumn individually. At the end where all four game are stable enough, merge them.
