I dont think “uncompromising” means that they want to force brutal realism onto players.
Vintage Story offers multiple playstyles and a huge amount of customization options when you create a new game world. You have the power to choose a creative experience, a peaceful world, balanced survival, hardcore wilderness survival or quite literally anything inbetween.
Sounds like the devs want to give players the ability to play the game however they want to play. So i think its perfectly fine to give my criticism. Im not saying what they have created is bad, i am just sharing what i think could make the game better for me and others. Honestly, vintage story provides a lot of what I wanted minecraft to become. But it just needs something to reduce the tediousness of gathering resources. Perhaps even something as simple as an airship that travels faster than you on the ground so distances aren’t big of an issue.
For propulsion, a small steam engine can work. And it doesnt need much power, so even an earlier crude engine would suffice. And if you have a boiler for the steam engine, you can use it’s heat to heat air for a balloon. Now in reality a steam airship would require a very large boiler and balloon, and certainly would not be able to carry much fuel to go far. But it’s atleast within plausiblity to allow bending to allow for gameplay. Just like you can ride elk… sure you could but in reality they’d make for a terrible mount. But its a cool thing for gameplay.
