As in a game with needs, tool/tech progression/crafting, and base building, but where you're not farming carrots by the dozen, walking around with endgame gear, and building entire villages yourself within the first few hours.

Something that still has those kinds of elements, but where things are maybe a bit more grounded or w.e. and the survival/building mechanics are more difficult/meaningful instead of just a minor annoyance or an afterthought

The only thing coming to mind is The Long Dark.

Know what would also be nice? A survival game where punching rocks and trees with your bare hands doesn't give you stone and wood, but instead you break your hand for being dumb enough to punch a rock or tree with your bare hands.

Ark. It's also incredibly tedious unless you crank the multipliers up like crazy.

I feel like the only people who like these games are casual gamers who play nintendo titles, open world games, games on the easy difficulty setting, achivement hunters etc.
People who like shallow game mechanics, and want experiences, rather than trying to beat a game

just buy an open world survival game on steam. they're all the same. valheim is the new big one, right? and NMS?

There is a lot of survival games nowadays by indie devs because they take about 1 month to develop and require very little game design.

No. Did I say there was? It's just usually a very juvenile interest.

Stuff like minecraft, roblox, etc.

I got Ark for free on Epic some time ago. Didn't the devs get in shit for the game being in EA an absurdly long time or w.e.?

Hey just because something is juvenile doesnt mean it is bad. I like fantasy books and they can come off as pretty young-adult.

There is no way you have endgame gear in "a few hours" with Minecraft.

Check out Punch Club.

i'm relatively new to minecraft and i have to say its genuinely one if the most tense games i've played. you either go off without a map and have to remember the way home, or make damn sure you don't come up out of a cave disoriented in some random spot far from home and get killed and lose your map and diamonds. it's very deflating if that happens

Lost in Blue on the DS is kinda dated now but still pretty good

It was my first true survival game, and the only one I played that didn't have any wacky pvp or monsters to fight until the long dark came out. The Long Dark really is in a league of it's own when it comes to survival games, it's just so good.

Try Rimworld. It's got a lot of survival aspects to it
