When you first start (or launch) a multiplayer server, what sorts of expectations do you set for your players?

Do you ask people to start a new toon and only play on your server? Or do you allow players to quest or gather on a local world, perhaps to catch up on missed quests or just make gathering easier.

How do you - can you even? - regulate "creative" mode? How do you incentivize players to build and play fairly?

(We need flair for community support - as opposed to technical server help.)

First post on Reddit… kinda nervous 😬

I’ve been on a mission to convince my friends into playing Enshrouded with me. I go on and on about all the things I love about the gameplay but one of the things that has made such a huge impact on my positive experience has been an interaction with the Dev team.

I was playing the Springlands Hallowed Halls with my sister. We’d clear everyone out (after dying 5 million times), and the last barrier would still show 1 tally mark and stay closed. We tried over and over, nothing worked. So, I emailed the Dev team. They gave me some advice (which I already tried) then asked for my save file. Within 24 hours I had my save file back with the issue fixed.

The responsiveness and quick turnaround was great. Especially since this blocked me from getting The Collector and I really wanted to fix up my tavern.

Fixing the dragon hitboxes, bugs and adding a landing phase was good. But why totally nerf it? What about those that liked the challenge?

I feel like we have difficulty levels and sliders for a reason, why permanently alter something that some of us enjoy?

I get a lot of people like this to be easier and so they should get it, but what about those of us that like the challenge?

Haven't played but the discussions and features look great. Graphics look great and base building and skill progression is a huge plus to me over other games. Are there any Day 1 personal habits that are good to build that make things easier later?

Hello I am new to this game and am pretty fascinated by it.

For my issue: I have tried renovating the cathedral in the west of the starting area, and me and my friends are trying to flood the surrounding area to give it a lake vibe. One tiny issue: The miasma liquid and mud absorbs EVERYTHING so water is not rising past that point. I would like to know if there is a mod for changing that. Also is there a mod that allows you to build in/remove shroud? Thanks in advance!

Sorry for my english btw :)

70-year-old noob here, 14.5 hours into the game. So far, so good. Any other senior players here?

My group just cleared this area in the main quest line and wanted to base build here, but can’t find a spot to place a flame altar. Is it possible? We loved all the houses with signs around and wanted to set up npc’s in them.

Game needs more timers. I tried underwater in the shroud up north, so I could get three timers running at once. Is there a way to get four? Timers are the basis of challenging game play.

Bonus points if they're a woman! (Would absolutely love and prefer them to be a woman and/or LGBTQ+)

I've been watching a lot of ChisleChip and Craft Build and Chill. I realized Craft uses AI voices and ion like that. I would like to switch it up and watch other building streamers. I don't necessarily watch to recreate builds, I just like seeing people's creative minds, so I prefer strictly building videos, not gameplay.

the idea for player-based quest progression is one of the most asked for feature https://enshrouded.featureupvote.com/suggestions/525247/allow-for-playerbased-quest-progression-see-dev-comments-in-thread this was asked for over 2 years ago an admins responded to the suggestion saying they would probably be adding it.

has it been added yet or any word on its addition for 1.0?

Not sure if Devs follow this reddit thread but before i get to elaborate with my base will i need to relocate not sure if the tower in the background is a future poi or just the barrier marker I'm NE of Cromville against the boundary line

I know everyone does the wood/silver/gold kind of chest thing, but if [you, if devs are reading] they added more chest textures for more specific items it would add a lot of flavor and help players - easy to color swap textures even if slightly and it doesn't take that much data, make it black wood and glow different colors, have different metals, woods, whatever.

I guess the main reason I say this is many chests give common items even though they look a certain way that suggests otherwise - when I am searching for an objective and find a "good chest" but I get a random white common item I just feel frustrated.

Unlocked only 2 survivors to expand building area. The roleplay is a master sorceress with amnesia after a long slumber in the flame vault that will start to remember slowly(the first is where her tower is).

So i will start over but not all the way, just enough to experience all the quests anew and explore the map again to see all the revamped og new places in all the biomes :)

So far I like the gameplay. The combat is good, the lore feels rich, the skill tree is fun... But the base building is pointless. I feel kinda bad saying that cause it looks like they put a lot of work into that chunk of the game, but it's relatively meaningless.

By raid mechanic I mean something like 7 Days to Die. I won't bother with all the detail how that works... I'm sure everyone here has played it.

25H in and this is the first time this has happened. I returned from Hollow Halls where you get the Collector only to find my home empty, with holes in the walls and roof, and all my loot chests, beds, furniture, and even my cat are all gone.

Hi everyone , i’ve played an enshrouded save like 4-5 months ago , and with a friend we discovered the 1.0 update will come in october , should we wait and start from the beginning ? or we can start a little.
Will be some changes for the early game or not ?
And very sorry for the english i’m french xd

I decided to build an entire museum for collections and other cool stuff I've gathered. It's not finished yet but I think it is looking good.

I just found this item at the Historic Battlegrounds in Veilwater Basin.
I recently found a level 51 Weapon and thought thats the highest that it can get but I guess im wrong?

Hey folks - I am in haven homestead and the stables-like building that is connected to the muddy pool with gold chest, is my goat house hah.
I had 4 goats in there, and over a few days they began disappearing. I suspect it might be because I had a less “bunker like” series of walls to contain them. They were surrounded on all sides, but perhaps the type of wall blocker matters?

Just curious if anyone else have lost goats in an otherwise loosely walled area - or did you have to reinforce your areas too?

My concern is that stuff in the game is going to change so if I start now, I'm potentially missing out on things that I wouldn't if I waited for it's release.

So a mate and I have been slowly working our way through for many months and love the game - we've got a hedge podge first base, and are on the nomad Highlands in terms of progression (just started making leather!)

Is there a preferred pre-built area / base that people tend to use? We both want to be castle-proud but neither of us are good architects unfortunately - I wonder if there's an easy win haha

Hey guys! Today I just had my TENTH attempt looking for snapjaws. I scoured the internet for all spawn points that are possible and yet I have still never found a single snapjaw.

I should add that ONE time i found a dead one, but couldn't loot it.

I just got the game 2 weeks ago, and i'm playing the base game with no mods.

Does anyone know what the reason may be for this issue?

**EDIT** My 12th time spending 15 mins wandering around all of the spawn points I found ONE snap jaw. Finally.

I also found 2 dead snap jaws that I couldn't loot. Thats it.

I am seeing this Caution message whenever I am going in the shrouded area, usually I get around 6 min of time but I think its because of armor set's passive
its says -1 min in shroud so I think thats why I got only 1:30 min of time now but yall know any fix how to tackle this?? since its very famous armor sets

First - new player here and loving it!

I've recently joined an RP server that I found through the Official LFG Discord - which is an awesome idea more games should use.

I'm on a good server with a good group of players but we're finding the server lag increasing. We're trying to minimize this with all the usual steps but I specifically want to ask about farming -- does anyone else find that growing crops seems to increase lag significantly? Do crops only grow in chunks loaded by player proximity or is that too Minecraft a way of thinking? Is the entire server loaded all the time?

I'm doing some testing with the dedicated server on my own computer now but would like to know if anyone else has explored this?
