whotookkarlI’m not big on inventory management or resource management systems in general but I’ll put up with them if the game is otherwise really engaging like RPGs mostly, and I really get into the music and exploration and unlocking new skills and abilities in progress systems. And if there’s no challenge I’ll lose interest pretty quickly.
CrozekielJumping in on this, if it is a survival crafty type of game, like minecraft or something, I REALLY want some way to sort my inventory. I don’t want to spend 10 minutes every time I get back to my base sorting stuff into chests, I want to dump it all into the “dump chest” and have something else sort it for me. I will happily spend the hour to do the initial setup telling whatever system what items go where, and the extra 30 seconds every time I add a new chest or item.
IMO an example of this done well is The Planet Crafter with drones. I wish they got unlocked a little sooner, but once they do it’s fantastic.
Valheim’s chest organization has been a long battle. I know there are mods but I’m lazy. The only other similar crafting/survival game I’ve played is the pirate-themed Windrose (demo, had some other name earlier). I thought it was neat that crafting could utilize anything from chests within the camp(fire) area.
