Game is "Vintage Story". It's similar to Minecraft, but slower paced.

In minecraft, if you wanna mine some iron, you punch a tree, use the wood to slap out a wooden pickaxe, grab some stone with it, then make a stone pickaxe, and you can mine it.
In vintage story you can't mine rock until you have a pickaxe, the lowest level of which is copper. You have to knap stone tools from rocks you find on the ground, and you can't make wood into planks until you have a saw (also needs metal). To get started with metalworking you have to explore and find copper bits sitting on the ground untill you have a lot, make crucibles and molds out of clay and fire them in a pit kiln, burn wood into charcoal in a pit (because wood doesn't burn hot enough to melt copper), and then you can melt and pour your copper into a mold. Do that with a pickaxe head mold, put it on a stick, and now you can mine stone. Then go find some more metals and do that some more because to mine iron you actually need a bronze pickaxe.
sounds like the old terrafirmacraft mod
It started life as a minecraft mod called vintagecraft. I believe you could say terrafirmacraft was one of it's inspirations. They made this a standalone game when they got frustrated with minecraft's limitations.
ah so slower paced in terms of progression rather than action

Hi! I don't know what this means.
They are probably referencing the harcdcore mod series gregrech which makes you do stuff like this too
Basically easier Rlcraft
Ehh, they have parts similar in their concepts but in practice I wouldn't say they are super similar. Pretty different vibes.
Edit: also Vintage Story is exactly as hard as you want it to be, the world gen and difficulty settings have a lot of options.
But still similar
So is it like terrafirmacraft then?
I think I read before that it's actually made by some/all of the people who worked on terrafirmacraft, but then again maybe I'm misremembering that detail. Too lazy to look it up again.
Nice
Would you recommend vintage craft?
I love Minecraft but I’ve been on a Factorio grind lately, but open to trying this if worth it.
