I am a sucker for creature collector games, but not too interested in base building/management; if it’s integral to the core game play loop and unavoidable I might just wait for Persona 3:Reload to scratch that collector itch.",

{
"body": "It's pretty required. You build gathering areas that certain pals can interact with, so building will automate some gathering for you as you keep expanding.\n\nThe building is nice so far though. Pretty easy to use and since it's not pvp you don't need to worry about losing your base or anything.",

Make it so you gain a level for killing a lvl 1 creature.\n\nNight time sucks? Make it last 1 real life minute. \n\nSo forth and so on. You can really cater it to your play style and I hate how everyone glosses over this option. These kind of options is what all crafting survivals should have.

We’ve gotten 1 new biome since it came out 3 years ago!\n\nYes 3! years for one big update. Mistlands and ashlands were supposed to be released within one year of early access and we still dont have ashlands.\n\n\nVacations, time away, failed roadmaps galore. Such a joke.",

But I guess when they are stupid they don´t know the difference between chines and Japanese. \n\n\nJust ignore stupid people who think they are experts at making games but yet never made a game their entire life because why should they they are already \"pros\" at it."

But I guess when your a whiny twat it´s simpler to just talk out your ass than do anything. \n\n\nBut im sorry I did not know 48 people hate good fun games and the only fun they have in life is bitch and cry instead of playing games."

"body": "No. They are still actively developing Craftopia. They took the money from Craftopia and expanded their team. Both games have been in development at the same time.\n\nThe reason Craftopia has been in EA for so long was when they put out the initial release and kept working on it, they realized the concept wasn’t as good as it could be. The game wasn’t bad per se, the concept just wasn’t working well as they tried to add to it. So they spent 2 years doing a complete rework of it, but were transparent about the process. They released a major update in December along with a roadmap to get out of EA.\n\nThey’ve been pretty clear that they won’t be shrinking the Craftopia team and they will continue on with the development to get it across the finish line. They’re going to take the money from the sales of Palworld to expand their team even more to keep up with both games."

Maybe you should keep away from Pokemon witch has allot of grind when you need to level Pokemon in fact all JRPG games are very grind heavy to a degree but often of makes up for that with story. \nBut even so stay away from survival games hell stay away from older call of duty games sense you need to grind as fuck for prestige. \nIf you think Palworld is grind heavy I suggest playing Puzzle games or connect 3 games or maybe some simpler strategy games or any kind of games that has no leveling or rpg elements what so ever. \n\n\nAlso if your Pals are not doing anything then you don´t gave the right pals for right things. For example if you build a farm lot you need a water Pal to water and you need a earth/grass pal that will seed the farm for you. \n\n\nInstead of pissing on the game research if you have issue for follow the fucking tutorial you even have the Survival guide you can read for help."
