An Enshrouded player has learned the hard way after three long hours of using a pickaxe to build a basement that there's another tool intended to do the same thing in much less time.
Streamer Luxthos was initially having a good time, digging the hot new survival RPG on the block while speaking to their chat. The task of the moment was to build a basement, a task they had apparently spent three hours on as they were using a pickaxe. Unknown to them, though, that the Construction Hammer exists to make the task much quicker.
"So, you've been enjoying Enshrouded? I am too, I just spent the last three hours digging a basement underneath my base using a pickaxe," they say. "That's until someone mentioned to me that you can simply terraform the ground away using the construction hammer."

The pain is visible as they bury their head in their hands, three hours of labor up in smoke. On the bright side, the rest of us won't be making that mistake now, so I guess it's not a total loss?
That snafu aside, Enshrouded has recovered from a rocky Early Access launch to earn a much healthier one. We say that as an emergency server crash hotfix was needed to course correct a rough one, though more recent Steam reviews are now sitting at 'Very Positive,' so it appears to have done the trick nicely.
Part of the appeal is the blend of Valheim-like survival with Dark Souls combat. Don't be put off by the latter, though, as fans reckon Enshrouded is way easier than either of those games.
More? Fine. Here are the 10 best survival games to test your will to live.

Fromsoftwarian world-building sometimes has centuries explained away in item descriptions for random rusty spoons, which makes hunting down all the lore nuggets just as satisfying as surviving bosses. One YouTuber has done the heavy lifting on Elden Ring for us, thankfully, but it's also taken them over 35 hours to do so.
Honkai: Star Rail’s version 2.0 will arrive at the start of February, adding a new area, three playable characters and new missions to the gacha space game, HoYoverse have revealed.
Enshrouded is an early access survival-crafter RPG that has the unfortunate fate of debuting right next to Palworld, a similarly structured game enjoying massively viral success. However, while the appeal of Palworld is immediately obvious, it takes a little bit of digging to find what makes Enshrouded shine.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is fast approaching with everything that made the original game a cult classic, including swanky fantasy abilities, janky ragdoll physics, and small-person-climbs-big-monster combat. But to fit all those towering foes into one game, the sequel also introduces a hugely expanded map.
Officially, Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League comes out on February 2nd, the same day that another big title arrives from Atlus. But a few days before, on January 30th, a special “early access” period will start for certain gamers to get into the title beforehand. These dates would excite players if they were hyped for the title. But, currently, the hype for the next game by Rocksteady Studios is “mixed” at best. An easy counter to this “mixed hype” would be to see how the reviews turn out and if critics can sway some of them to the developers’ side. Yet, if reports are to be believed, there’s a problem on that end.
BT has apologised after it emerged that some broadband customers are being charged for Xbox Game Pass subscriptions without their knowledge.
Not even ten days after its release, a dedicated Palworld player has taken it upon themselves to create a Palpedia that could rival the Pokedex.
A couple weeks ago, I gushed about a new fantasy farming RPG that caught my attention amid so many other "cozy" games for its roots in Japanese mythology. Well, I decided to check up on its Kickstarter and, hot damn, I'm clearly far from the only one excited about Tales of Seikyu.
As incredible as Enshrouded’s building is, mining to get to building can take a lot of work. If you want to speed up the process of mining to get right into building your dream Hobbit hole in Enshrouded, here’s how.
