Can we please not have water bottles as loot from so many places and mobs? Why should anything drop a water bottle past Springlands or maybe revelwood? For incase you ran out of all food and drink while exploring? That is not a good reason because a water bottle lasts HOURS.

The recipe is easy and cheap, etc. There is no good reason why I have to stop and delete water bottles this often, especially off mobs at mid to late game tiers. Who isn't going 100% prepared at that point? Same thing goes for torches, who past springlands or maybe revelwood needs basic torches dropping? And if you did, a few seconds hitting a tree makes a torch.

Can anyone honestly say they have ever actually needed a randomly looted torch or water bottle past revelwood biome?

I also did post this over on "Feature upvote" If you would like to vote for it so the developers see it.

Can't make those portable heaters because making them requires the extremely tedious farming of lizards in blackmire. Can't make the armour because it needs materials that seem to be deep in the summits. So my whole experience right now seems to be to head into the snow, make a bit of progress then fast travel back to base and lie in bed waiting for the frost metre to recharge. What am I missing?

Unless I am mistaken, I maxed out on int nodes at 23.

It costs 6 points to max out life essences giving 6x Int attribute.

1 cons node is like 50 hp, so it needs to match 300 hp from 6 points into cons.

Doing quick maths,

6 x [Int] = 300

Int = 300/6

Int = 50

So you'd need 50 Int to break even? And food buffs don't get flat attribute increases anymore so you can't even break even. Is this an oversight with update 8 that do not increase attributes anymore or am I mistaken?

Followed a bunch of older guides on how to catch silverbacks but no luck....... after the latest patch, does anyone have a good location and bait AFTER the patch as I've tried so many combinations

Thanks

Hey,
I'm currently on my first playthrough and I've already reached the Nomad Highlands. However, I feel like two-handed weapons (especially greatswords) are incredibly weak here.

I feel like I'm barely doing any damage, constantly getting interrupted during combos, and dying after just 3–4 hits.

And with greatswords, I get the feeling that despite their higher base damage, they somehow end up dealing less damage overall.

Has anyone else had a similar experience, or am I just playing/building wrong?

For the ‘Ignite The Coldest Elixir Well’ quest we need to get to the well, but it’s currently in pink shroud.

That’s because our altar is only at Level 6: it needs to be at least Level 7 to get to the well.

But to level it up to 7 requires a Fell Cyclops Head, and the only place in the game to get one of those is in the well, which we can’t get to without leveling up first!

Any help in resolving this conundrum will be very gratefully received.

I’m completely bottled necked on wool right now and the 8 yaks I have just constantly get themselves stuck in walls every single time I go to collect wool. And they are always starving because of it.

Do I have to put all the beds in the center or f the room or something?? But then they get caught on the food bowls itself and repeats.

I'm trying to make a megabase and would like to have my animals far away so I don't have to listen to them while I am in my base doing stuff.

I still want them to produce, but I'm worried they might end up in a different chunk or on the other side of a chunk border and not produce or multiply while I am in my base.

Base will have multiple overlapping max-sized flame alters. I'm at two so far.

The Ideal base would have a central storage/crafting area with inventory accessible to all surrounding alter zones, while still having my farm and animals produce/tick.

Potentially building it inside one chunk/zone would be preferable.

The big drsgon in the main quest. Please?? Not sure of this is a spoiler

I’ve been trying to grow/farm shroud adhesive but the component to make seeds for the tentacle plants (can’t remember the name) is shroud infused soil. To make this I need 3 critter carapace…. Farming these is incredibly annoying.

Then last night I was moving my farm patch and realized that I can place soil at any size for a cost of 1 soil and then dig it up and get like 20 soil back. In about 5 minutes I had over 200 shroud infused soil.

Hey fellow Flameborn,
I’ve been sinking a ton of hours into the game recently, and I absolutely love what Keen Games has built so far. The foundation is incredible. However, to truly unlock its potential as a legendary dark fantasy RPG and ensure a smooth experience, I feel there are several areas that need more depth, variety, and some serious technical polishing.
I’ve put together some feedback ranging from combat to performance, and I’d love to hear what you guys think!

1. Technical Performance & Servers (Urgent)
   Optimization for Mid-Range GPUs: The game desperately needs a massive performance overhaul. I am playing on an RTX 4060 on High settings, and depending on what is happening or placed in the world, my frame rate frequently drops down to 40 FPS, with massive stutters dragging it into the low 20s. For a card of this generation, the optimization should be much better.
   Server Stability: Multiplayers and dedicated servers need a lot of love. Connection stability and sync issues during heavy world manipulation still hold the multiplayer experience back.
2. Skills & Combat Variation
   True Class Hybridization: While the skill tree offers great freedom, combining classes currently feels a bit half-hearted. It would be amazing to see true hybrid skills that properly blend playstyles—like being able to infuse magical elemental damage directly onto melee weapons.
   More Arrow Variety: I know we get some eternal arrows later in the game (like Ice and Light), but we definitely need more elemental variations, such as Eternal Lightning Arrows or Eternal Fire Arrows to round out the magic archer build.
   The Grappling Hook: Using the grappling hook in combat feels a bit clunky right now. It’s rarely worth using strategically during a fight. Making it more fluid and intuitive during active encounters would add a cool layer of vertical gameplay.
3. World Design, Exploration & Biomes
   Verticality & Water: The world would feel so much more alive with natural rivers and lakes. Furthermore, adding entirely new layer biomes—like a massive underworld/cavern system or an empire above the clouds—would make exploration insane.
   Miasma Cleansing: It would be highly rewarding if we had an endgame mechanic to permanently remove the Miasma fog from certain regions once all roots in that area are destroyed. Let us heal the land! More elixir wells and shroud roots across the world would also be a great addition.
   Enemy & Companion Variety: We need a wider variety of enemy types to keep encounters fresh in the long run. Also, implementing combat companions—like hunting dogs that help fight or automatically pick up loot—would be an incredible QoL upgrade.
   Mounts: Depending on how massive the world grows in future updates, ridable animals would be a fantastic addition for traversal.
4. Base Building & Dark Fantasy Immersion
   Base Raids & Defense: I know raids are on the roadmap, but I really hope we get proper defense mechanics to go with them. I want to build massive defensive city walls, traps, or automated turrets to protect my home.
   Altar Size & Snapping: Please consider expanding the Flame Altar build zone slightly or adding an additional upgrade level for mega-builds. Also, the building snap-function still needs some fine-tuning, as it can feel a bit stubborn and clunky at times.
   Dark Fantasy Assets (Where is the dark wood?): Please give us more dark-colored building assets and furniture! Right now, there is a lot of red and light wood. Come on, guys! 😂 I really want to live out my Dark Fantasy dreams with dark wood, black stone, and gothic-style furniture.
   Loot: You can never have enough weapons and armor. Please keep adding more diverse gear sets of all types!
   What do you guys think? Are you also experiencing heavy FPS drops on newer cards like the RTX 4060 when things get chaotic? And are you satisfied with the current class hybridization?
   Kudos to Keen Games for being so close to the community—let's hope they can iron out the performance issues and bring some of these dark fantasy ideas to life!

I know not the main aspect of the game, but I’m approaching the endgame and wondered what everyone was wearing? I heard looking cool makes you do more damage 😉

Hey folks! My wife and I are having some issues playing on our LAN dedicated server. The host computer is an i7-9700 @ 3Ghz (8cores/8threads), 16Gb RAM, RTX 3060 (12GB), 3.5TB SSD (2.76 TB free space). We frequently rubberband and/or disconnect. It doesn't happen after any specified or predictable amount of time, it could be 5min-1hour or anything in-between, but rarely do we get more than an hour of un-interrupted play.

When the rubberbanding occurs, it's generally both of us at the same time. When the disconnects occur, it's generally only one of us. We really want to love this game, but these server issues are driving us mad. Thoughts/suggestions?

Edit: I built the frame of a second base and it’s just doesn’t have the charm on my main one, sure it’s “bigger” but I’m no architect and it shows lol, I guess I’ll just use it as a staging ground for the northern exploration and see if it grows on me

Just past the 50 hour mark, and finally reached the summits…and I’m still living in the border zone of Springlands and Revelwoods.

And on one hand I like my ugly little home, but on the other hand I really like the look of the snowy mountains.

Like I know I can just set down an altar and build a personal cabin instead of trying to make a whole base, but then I wouldn’t really go there at all, you know? Idk just kinda posting to vent? Or if anyone has any tips on how I could shake up my set up without making it feel like a chore to move.
