I went through precisely this thought process when I first started playing Creativerse although I made it down to the corruption 4 times with 4 different characters in total . The Survivial mode of Creativerse is severely lacking . I used to get bashed a bit on the Creativerse Steam forum for saying so . Some people answered my critique with comments along the lines of ' duh . the clue is in the name n 00 b . L 2 P ' My answer to that was that everything that I need to get through the Survival mode has to be created by the player , resources have to be collected to unlock recipes so that items can be crafted . Pretty much everything that you use in Survival mode degrades with use and has to be replaced by harvesting resources and creating things over again . Creativerse is a wonderful game , but the Survival mode needs fleshing out . If you play all parts of the game farming , taming , exploring , building the game is actually capable of lasting several hundred hours I have over 800 hours of play time now . I have the Pro version because I bought the game long before it went F 2 P . I don ' t play it incessantly like I used to , but I do still play a few hours a week , usually at weekends . I have hope that the Survival mode will get some TLC in the future .
