I’ve been playing Valheim since it first hit Steam, and one of my favorite parts of the game has always been the building.

I love seeing the ridiculous, beautiful, cozy, and occasionally cursed builds people share here and in the community, so I wanted to make something fun around that.

So I decided to make Longhouse Listings, which is basically a parody real-estate site for Valheim bases. Just for fun site to showoff builds. I know there is a subreddit mainly for it but hope you enjoy.

It’s still in alpha, but it’s live if anyone wants to check it out at longhouselistings.com

Feedback is very welcome. I’d love to hear what people think, what feels funny, what’s missing, or what kinds of listings/features would make it better.

Built out a mortgage calculator and market insights that will become better as more listings are added. I am also planning on having real listings for the next release from my own builds.

I added the first 11 real listings using my own Valheim builds. Google sign-in is now live, so you can create an account without making another password and submit a build for review.

My favorite thing to do in a survival game is to explore new areas and master them over time.

It's the classic loop in Minecraft of - leave all your stuff, wander off in a random direction, and slowly build up a base. I love getting to know a new area, developing routes to travel, maybe paving roads or paths to make my travel easier. Building up resource farms, starting to automate processes.

Are there any games that do this particularly well?

What I usually run into with games is that they often don't incentivize you to actually build bases in new areas. Or the grinding for resources gets too repetitive. Or later game, you don't get the tools to build things sufficiently fast for the scale you want to work at (transportation networks seem to be the worst offenders here).

Any recommendations as to games I should try out?

Games I've liked the most that come close - Minecraft, Subnautica, Satisfactory.

Hello everyone, we are Submersion, a small two-person studio made up of myself and my husband, Morgan. We’re currently developing a third-person survival game set in the 19th-century Arctic, with elements of Lovecraftian horror.

If that sounds like your cup of tea, we’d love to hear your feedback, especially on whether the game’s direction and tone come across clearly.

Also happy to answer questions about the game or the development process.

They created such a cosmic horror scifi setting and littered it with dumb crude humor and a stupid AI voice over with a bunch of fourth wall breaks. That entirely takes away from the story setting and it constantly takes you out of the immersion.

2/10 game.

Hi, I've got a PC for my birthday last Summer, and started playing ARK Suevival Ascended on it. Before that I've been grinding in Survival Evolved on the Switch so altogether I've got about 3000 hours in the game. I love it. I also loved playing Minecraft for years now, firstly on the switch then on PC too. Have u got any Recommendations of Survival Games I should play and are kind of similar to these two?

I really enjoyed dysmantle and forager, especially the metroidvania-esque elements of them both. I'm playing on a controller all the time since I'm using a steam deck so controller support is also a must. I don't mind a more streamlined/casual survival games but I won't dismiss harder ones either.

Hello, people!

I would like you all's opinions on survival craft games to play with my best friends which when we buy on epic games/steam comes around maximum 1k in INR/ $ 10 USD (lesser would be great!) for one person.

No FPP though. Thank you!

Ps. If you would like to ask questions to understand better, please do and I'll answer them genuinely as much as possible.

Also, I am not a gamer geek- just want to spend time with my bestfriends by playing something fun so use less gaming jargon, thenk :))

Yo!

I’m looking for more Open World Survival Craft games,

I’m a little picky so here’s what I like to see in them:

- Good character customization (this option can be let go of if it’s super heavy hitting in other areas)

- extensive base building, I LOVE building bases.

- class options of Melee / Ranged / Magic (specially Magic for me lol)

- engaging exploration. I love roaming around open worlds and finding lil secrets and places whenever I go out to gather resources.

Here is what I’ve played so far:

- Enshrouded

- V Rising

- Abiotic Factor

- Valheim

I know I’m basically just re-describing Enshrouded but can you blame me? That game is awesome.

V-Rising, I just finished and I think it’s one of my top 5 games ever.

Today i got raided by some aimbotter clan . I didn't even had a chance. The game is so undermonitored there is cheats everywhere my 20 hour work just went to waste. Good job developers.

I enjoy survival games but i’ve been looking for one specifically that I can play with a friend cross platform (pc and xbox), takes place before technology, has hunting, gathering, and agriculture, but no special gimmicks like dinosaurs or zombies, what would be the closest game to something like this
