Comment on RPGs focused on crafting items/equipment
LallyLuckFarm@beehaw.org 5 days agoI don’t know why I didn’t think of it earlier, but what about Astroneer? It’s closer to an adventure sim with rpg elements to it, but it’s entirely about exploration and crafting all of your adventuring gear and your home base(s).

I’m not really into survival (or otherwise “sandboxy”) games, although I was looking a bit into Astroneer recently because of the coop, but I was worried about there being too much procgen. Is there enough handcrafted stuff?

I’ve been playing the coop online with a buddy and having a blast; from what I can tell the procgen is pretty much for raw material placement and the layout of some of the ‘naturally’ occurring tunnels and caverns.
Everything else feels stylized and I happen to like the art style, so it all feels handcrafted to me. If you’re referring to the pool of craftable items, there’s a slew of things to make but they’re all very similarly themed which makes sense given that they’re all 3d printed planetary exploration tools.

Ah good, when I saw the voxel terrain I was worried it was procedurally generated like NMS and similar games.
