As a survival craft veteran with thousands of hours, it's up there as one of my favourites. I wanted to showcase my journey in a fresh solo world where I set some restrictions to ensure I don't efficiently speed through the game and miss out on content and early game shenanigans. The Rules: • Technology Locked behind Towers finish a tower to unlock next region/tier/level bracket • Era-Based Architecture explore the World and build a base per episode • No Shortcuts play slowly, avoid skipping through content I think games are often overly optimised and I want to showcase how fun they can be even if you just play inside sandboxes sub-optimally.
