We've rounded up the best crafting and building survival games that combine great storytelling and addictive gameplay. Craft is a familiar word for all fans of computer games. It means creating items, weapons or equipment needed for the game. Crafting is closely related to construction, because in order to erect any building, you must first create equipment and extract resources. Building a fortified base, having water, food and weapons is a necessary condition for survival. This is why so many games in the survival genre (or with elements) are based on crafting and construction.
Peculiarities
The game allows you to create a car of any shape and size. Hundreds of parts, types of weapons, armor, mechanisms and auxiliary systems are used for construction. Using various combinations of parts, you can create a machine like no other: from heavy all-terrain vehicles to anti-gravity combat platforms.
If you shoot off any part of a vehicle, it immediately affects the speed of movement and attack power. To do this, the game offers a huge selection of weapons: you can fight with a chainsaw or a drill, or even use a rocket launcher, an invisibility generator, or a flying drone.
You will have your own workshop, here you will be given the opportunity to craft parts and sell them to other players on the domestic market.
Crossout
Release date: 2020 Genre: racing MMO action with elements of car construction in the post-apocalypse Developer: Targem Games Publisher: Gaijin Entertainment
More details
Crossout is an MMO action game. The player must assemble his own armored vehicle, with which he will go to battle. This can be done in the workshop. There are dozens of parts to choose from to increase armor, speed, and combat tools.
Before starting the game, you need to choose a faction: mechanics, wanderers, rabid, steppe wolves, children of the dawn, scavengers and fire worshipers. During battles, the player gains experience and reputation. Each faction has its own player rating.
Battles leave you free to choose your strategy. With the necessary knowledge, victory can be won by depriving the enemy of just one important detail. By receiving rewards in battle, you can sell them to improve your armored vehicle.
DayZ
DayZ is a modification for Arma 2, which has grown into a separate project. A game in the survival horror genre, it takes the user into a zombie apocalypse, unfolding on the territory of “Chernorussia” (not “Chernorus!”) - a fictional post-Soviet state.
Peculiarities
DayZ features an open world without barriers - a large area with many forests, fields, villages and cities. The playing area is over 225 km².
From the beginning of the game, the character has only the most ordinary clothes, a torch-candle and a piece of cloth. To survive, the player must search the buildings in the area and get supplies, medicine, clothing and weapons.
During the game you need to fight both zombies and other players. The weapons in the game are very different: from kitchen knives to machine guns. The number of the latter, however, decreased noticeably with the release of version 1.0.
The game is based on crafting and construction: you can build your own fortified base. To do this, you need to stock up on food, tools and building recipes. By the way, food can be crafted, fishing and hunting.
Rust
At the time of the game's release, Harry Newman, its creator, already had a successful project - Garry's Mod, a first-person shooter. Rust is an attempt to make a computer game in the genre of survival simulator. It received mixed reviews from critics and fans due to its similarities to DayZ.
As in DayZ, the user is going through difficult post-apocalyptic times and must not only engage in crafting and construction, but also fight with other gamers to stay alive.
Peculiarities
To survive, you need to monitor three parameters: health, dose of radiation received and satiety.
Health is an indicator of life - it decreases from any injury, including falling from a small height. Satiety is an unstable parameter; it decreases over time. The speed at which the characteristic drops depends on the surrounding conditions - for example, satiety will decrease much less near a fire than in the cold. There are areas in the game that are contaminated with radiation; staying in them for a long time is dangerous.
Everything can be crafted in the game: weapons, medicine, food, building materials, equipment. To create some items, you will first have to learn recipes.
In addition to crafting, the game also includes construction. In Rust, it starts with the “Build Plan”. It is created from a sheet of paper, which in turn is made from 5 trees. The second required tool, the mallet, is crafted from 100 trees and allows you to repair and modify buildings.
The most striking feature of Rust is interaction with other players. Simply surviving in this game is considered a low priority. Most prefer to get hold of weapons, form teams and terrorize newcomers. Fortunately, the game has enough tools to make fun of the characters.
So, the player is locked in his own house, forced to undress and run around naked, put on a special diet of raw meat, etc. According to these criteria, Rust is ahead of all known “aggressive” survival games with crafting and construction, such as DayZ or Dota 2.
ASTRONER
Release date: 2020 Genre: open world survival with space base construction Developer: System Era Softworks Publisher: System Era Softworks
ASTRONEER is a survival adventure game from System Era Softworks. The game immerses you in the world of the 25th century, when the universe was captured by a gold rush, and each planet keeps its secrets. The player must explore randomly generated planets for resources.
There is no specific task or plot in the game. Mining resources opens up new opportunities for creating vehicles, tools and building space bases.
Planets can be improved for your own needs - change the terrain, improve the planet’s satellites, extract minerals. The player encounters many alien structures, mysterious black holes, etc. Players can also join forces for construction and development.
The Long Dark
Another first-person survival game. The action takes place on the coast of Canada in the context of a global catastrophe. The main character is the only pilot who survived the plane crash. The goal is to survive as long as possible.
The game was received positively by critics and received good reviews during its alpha testing stage.
Peculiarities
The game is a survival simulator, where such parameters as environmental temperature, degree of saturation, fatigue and health play a vital role. The simulation is very detailed, for example, the wind temperature is of particular importance (in cold weather the character freezes faster), hunger is satisfied exactly by the number of calories in food, and accumulates during sleep. Everything is like in life.
The creation of some items is only available in certain locations. Others are created without such problems if the necessary materials are available. The list of items that can be made is called up using the buttons on the left on the crafting tab.
Location is important in the game not only for crafting, but also when building your own base. To build it, you need to acquire two skills: map navigation and weather prediction. It is better not to leave the base early in the morning - it is very cold at this time of day. If it is clear that it is snowing and blizzarding outside, it is also better to stay “at home” so as not to die.
Frostpunk: 10 Simple Survival Tips
There are several tricks and nuances that can be used to successfully survive in the extreme cold of the Frostpunk game.
The first thing I want to pay attention to is: after the first start of the plot, immediately go to the main menu, then click on the “Select scenario” item. Select "New World" and on the next screen you will see the "Scenario Settings" option. It will reduce the overall difficulty of the game or specific aspects. By default, the game starts on medium difficulty, which for the first playthrough, in my opinion, is akin to hardcore. Warmth is life
As soon as you appear in a new city in the middle of an icy wasteland, you will immediately understand: heat is a limited and desirable resource. At the beginning of the game, heat comes exclusively from the generator located in the center of the crater. If you want people to stay alive, then provide them with warmth. The longer citizens live or work in the cold, the faster discontent will increase, the sick and, ultimately, the dead will appear.
Advice. Don't create a health station outside of the heat zone early in the game. This is a common mistake for beginners, because a sanitary post located in a colder zone will not allow workers to cure people. They will die. Moreover, the workers at the sanitary station will get sick.
Not every building needs heating. For example, it is not required for a resource warehouse that can be built outside the thermal zone. Sometimes you will have to build steam centers, creating additional thermal zones. Due to them, you can significantly expand the heat area, but there is a prerequisite - the steam center is located on the road connected to the generator. At the same time, each steam center increases coal consumption, so be careful with this
On the other hand, the thermal zone will never be enough and you will always feel some kind of limitation. Some types of buildings provide heat on their own - for example, houses, collection points, but in the early stages they are not available (houses).
Explore or Die
Research is too important, so don't limit yourself to just one workshop. It's best to build and fill four workshops with workers to double or triple the amount of research you can do at a time. Of course, every research requires resources. Do not be afraid of difficulties (and when maintaining four workshops, they will be), since such a risk is justified. In general, there should be at least two workshops in the city!
But workshops sitting idle will be of no use, you need to do research. The survival of the entire civilization depends on obtaining new technologies, such as automata, thermal insulation of houses and improving scouts (increasing the number of groups at the lighthouse and the speed of their movement). Remember, if you need additional workers, the workshop can be disabled.
Provide yourself with a constant supply of coal
Coal is the lifeblood of your city, and there are three ways you can accumulate it. We are talking about coal miners, coal kilns and coal mines. All buildings involve completely different coal mining technologies, but I would recommend focusing on one specific one! It's better to put all your effort into one method than to split into two or three. For beginners, I recommend using coal miners - this is the most low-tech method of coal mining.
Coal miner.
After creating a coal miner, you will also need to assign workers to collect the pile of coal that forms next to the building. But it is best to build a collection point next to the coal miner to collect coal automatically. The collection point will require its own workers. A coal miner generates a resource from a void, unlike a coal mine, which must be located next to coal deposits. Coal stoves generate coal by burning your wood reserves.
Build coal miners next to each other to collect coal from several buildings at once with one collection point. In addition, collection points are heated, so people will be protected from the cold. Steam centers can also be placed nearby. Don't forget to build storage facilities that expand the maximum possible supply of resources. And remember – warehouses don’t require heat!
Send scouts to search for steam cores
Explore the “beacon” and additional scout teams for it as early as possible. Research that increases the speed of movement of your groups will be useful. Sending several reconnaissance teams will speed up the receipt of dividends. And reconnaissance is the only way to find new survivors and advance through the plot. Even better, scouts can locate steam cores, automata, and even technology. True, the latter will be possible after you decide the fate of three groups of refugees and you are asked to examine stereoscopic lenses.
Without new people, you will not be able to expand your capabilities, and steam cores are needed not only for creating automata, but also for the construction of more technologically advanced buildings.
Issue the right laws to strengthen the colony
This is the point where you can be cunning by combining different laws that increase each other's effectiveness. But the game is designed in such a way that you can only view the laws available to unlock. All laws that are in an as yet unexplored tree can be considered only after the discovery of the first one. Not all of the adopted laws are beneficial; strict decrees will often have to be approved. If you choose unpopular laws, people's dissatisfaction will gradually increase. You may even face a worse situation - the population will refuse to work.
To keep people happy and healthy, try to unlock the following laws, which provide benefits against a slight increase in discontent:
- Maintaining life. A very important law at an early stage. You will spend money on sick people, but you will be able to save more workers (who will be cured in the future) and avoid amputation. Your priority should be to improve your work efficiency.
— Quick collection. Since I recommended focusing on coal miners, this particular law needs to be approved. Workers will be able to collect coal faster, which will be useful throughout the game.
Law "Fight Arena".
- Double rations. The problem with products will be relevant throughout the game. If you want people to be happy (satisfied), you will have to choose double rations. This will increase the speed of recovery of patients and allow them to return to work faster. Just remember to provide a constant and good supply of raw food.
— Fighting arena. An inexpensive way to reduce dissatisfaction every day.
All these laws can be called safe, but not the only useful ones. So, I find the “Soup” and “Moonshine” laws to be a very good combination.
Moonshine Law.
On the one hand, “Soup” allows you to cook more dishes from raw ingredients, but such a meal does not significantly increase dissatisfaction. On the other hand, eating soup with strong drinks neutralizes the discontent caused. This way, you can save on raw food without harming other indicators.
The construction of children's shelters and further training of children in medicine or engineering will have a good effect.
Make people work, but don't overdo it
Your workers will have a standard 10-hour work schedule, but you can extend the working hours using two laws - the Emergency Scheme and the Extended Scheme. You can also send children to work - “Safe work for children” and “Any work...”. In the first case, children will help in the kitchen and in medical institutions, in the second - everywhere. However, the latter will lead to injury and death. Building children's shelters and teaching children medicine or engineering will provide benefits later in the game.
Law “Child Labor – Safe Work”.
At the beginning of the game, I would recommend unlocking safe child labor so that 15 children out of the 80 available citizens can help with the work. This is cruel, but it will allow you to get things moving much faster.
While a 24-hour workday would cause dissatisfaction, increasing the shift to 14 hours would result in minimal dissatisfaction. At the same time, you will be able to independently control which objects will work with a normal schedule and which ones with an increased schedule. For example, it will be possible to extend the work of workshops used for numerous research, and then return to normal hours when they are idle.
Shutdown, dismantling and dictatorship
You must remember that literally every building in the game can be disabled. If you are conducting one research and have no resources for others, then disable the remaining workshops. If you have an excessive amount of raw food, you can turn off the hunters' huts or greenhouses. You can also dismiss workers from non-functional buildings. For example, you have produced a sufficient number of automata at the factory and there are simply not enough steam cores to produce other machines. Shut down the building and dismiss the workers!
Buttons to turn off and dismantle the building.
If too many tents or barracks have been built around the generator and there is not enough space in the first thermal ring for a medical station, you can dismantle several buildings. You will also need to dismantle certain resource buildings if they have cleared the entire area around them. For example, this happens with sawmills when there are no trees lying around.
Automatons are not afraid of the cold
For buildings located outside the thermal ring with insufficient heating levels, automata can be used. These are resource-intensive robots that work continuously (they only stop to refuel - the nearest steam center is used for this). They do not get sick or fail due to extreme cold.
Try to have the automata work in one area, next to which build a steam center, which will reduce the pause required for refueling.
Build houses and research improved thermal insulation
This is a simple but very effective tip that will be very useful in the late game. When you start building houses, try to research their thermal insulation as soon as possible. This will reduce the power required for heating, since the houses themselves will produce some heat. And when the extreme cold comes, you will need all the tools available to survive!
Thermal insulation of houses.
Learn to Operate Your Generator in Difficult Situations
Knowing how to manipulate and switch between generator settings will be critical to survival. You can increase the generator power level from “1” to “4”, which is useful during a cold storm, but this will increase coal consumption. Some research will expand the range of the generator, but will again increase coal consumption. Use the boost mode to instantly increase the amount of heat by several levels (depending on your research).
Afterburner will be needed during dangerous cold weather, but do not forget that if the generator overheats, it may explode. You will be given a choice - send a child who will die, sacrifice one steam core, or leave everything as it is and see a bad ending.
The trick is this: when activating the afterburner mode, lower the power level by two points. Thus, you will maintain the same power, but reduce coal consumption. This method can be used throughout the game. Here's another great way to save on coal consumption!

Minecraft
Minecraft is the best-selling game in history. It is made in the “sandbox” genre, the user is given a three-dimensional world at his disposal, which is changed by the movement of cubes.
There are no specific goals; the user is free in his actions. The game has three main modes - “creativity” (the player has an endless number of resources), “survival” (you need to get them) and “hardcore” mode.
Peculiarities
Before starting, you need to generate a world - for this you need to enter parameters. The character starts the game by appearing in a random location. The process is that you need to mine blocks (they can be stone, wood, water, earth, lava and much more), engage in crafting and construction.
The main character parameters are health, satiety and experience points. Satiety must be maintained constantly (does not apply to playing in peaceful mode). The hero needs sleep, otherwise the character will be attacked by phantoms.
In the world you can interact with NPCs - hunt, trade, fight with opponents. Food is grown by cultivating garden beds.
In Minecraft, many items can be crafted; to do this, you need to arrange the resources in a strict order in a special window. A window with a 2x2 grid is located in the inventory, it is intended for creating simple items. To create complex ones, such as armor, weapons or tools, you need to use the crafting window with a 3x3 grid in the workbench.
In the game, you can mine the resource “Redstone” underground. With its help, buildings in the game are made interactive. The redstone mechanics are ideal for engineers and programmers, as they can serve as a virtual constructor.
Create invisible blocks
They should not be confused with transparent blocks of glass or ice. You can create completely invisible blocks . They are only available in creative mode and only through the command line interface. To get these blocks, called "barriers", simply enter the command / give minecraft: barrier .
They will appear in the player's inventory in the form of a crossed out red square and, with the exception of a number of points, work like all other blocks. They cannot be moved by pistons, nor can they be broken when switching to survival mode.
However, their invisibility makes them perfect for traps. Hostile mobs are held back no worse than regular solid blocks.
How to survive 2
The player finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world and must fight for life with a crowd of the dead, while simultaneously obtaining resources for survival.
The plot is simple: a virus epidemic that began in the small town of Los Ricos gradually spread throughout the world.
Peculiarities
Unlike the first part, in How to survive 2 you can save more characters (4 slots) and camps (5 slots). A new construction and crafting system was introduced: many more items appeared.
For crafting, the player has two windows - one on C (for the camp), the other on X (for the character), it is important not to confuse them. As elsewhere, to create items, the player needs resources and recipes.
To create buildings, use the “Camp Workshop”. To call it, you need to press C and select the “Workshop” section. Its interface shows how many resources are needed to create each building.
Putting collars on tamed dogs
Perhaps the cutest feature in this collection. Most players know that some animals in the game world can be tamed. Tamed ocelots become cats, wolves become dogs, horses... also become horses, but they can be ridden.
If you have a dog, you can change the color of its collar. All you need to do is take one of the 16 colors and apply it to your pet.
A completely useless, but very pleasant opportunity. So invisible that most players didn’t even know about it either.
Terraria
Terraria (an indie PC game released in 2011 by Re-Logic from the USA) is a sandbox game that allows the player to create and modify two-dimensional worlds.
Like Minecraft, the game does not pose specific tasks for the user, but this does not make it boring. In the summer of 2020, it became known that update 1.4, called “Journey's End,” would be the real end of the survival game with crafting and construction - after it there would be no major updates, only minor fixes.
Peculiarities
The player must first generate a world, then the character appears in a random biome with a short sword, a pickaxe and an ax. The number of mana and health points is limited, but these parameters increase if you get “mana crystals” from “crystal hearts” found in the game. Loot is found in chests and also drops from killed creatures.
There are minerals underground, and occasionally they are found on the surface. There are renewable resources: for example, when deforestation occurs, acorns appear, with the help of which new trees can be grown.
Resources are used for crafting and construction in the game. In order to create items, you need to learn the recipe. Complex items are crafted in several steps: first you need to craft simple ones, and then create what you need using a workbench. Simple items, such as a torch, can be crafted without a workbench.
At the beginning of the game, you need to build your own home, where the player will be protected from enemy attacks. Friendly non-player characters may appear in buildings - a merchant, a wizard or a nurse. This happens after defeating bosses or completing quests. You can trade with NPCs or buy services from them.
Create air pockets underwater
There is probably nothing worse in Minecraft than being stuck in the water, being carried away by the current and your oxygen levels slowly dropping, leading to suffocation. Fortunately, this can be avoided.
Many players don't know this, but torches, doors, ladders and signs can be placed underwater in such a way that life-saving air pockets to replenish oxygen supplies.
Moreover, such pockets are connected to each other like fences. entire passages underwater . This is not just cool, but also useful - a convenient and practical way to create tunnels between bases or houses, hidden from the untrained eye.
Tom Clancy's The Division
The Division is a game published by Ubisoft in 2013. The game first takes place in New York City in Manhattan, but the area will grow over time. The Division plunges you into the midst of an epidemic, and the player's main task is to eliminate the consequences.
A gloomy atmosphere, an interesting plot, missions, the possibility of crafting and construction - this is what awaits the user. A sequel to the game, Tom Clancy's The Division 2, was released in 2020.
Peculiarities
The game about survival with crafting and construction is played in multiplayer mode; a partner is selected for the player as suitable in style as possible. Group size - up to 4 people.
The game has a special “Black Zone” - an area where they play in both PvP and PvE modes. Players can fight against each other or be together. The zone is divided into 9 sectors of different difficulty levels, where loot of different values can fall. It must be transported to the base.
“Operational Headquarters” is the player’s base, over which the user gains control after completing the introductory quest. There is also a crafting machine there - in the first room opposite the entrance. You can create everything except clothes: armor, weapons, modifications and materials.
In addition to crafting, the game also includes construction. The base is pumped up - after completing quests, the player receives resources to create new buildings. Leveling up the “Headquarters” brings new skills to the character.
Make graphics black and white or flip the screen
Many classic video games have fun Easter eggs that allow players to fool around with the graphics. Minecraft is no exception either. Super Secret Settings button in the options menu , you can access one of 25 shaders.
The shader is selected randomly. Some of them change graphics almost imperceptibly. But there are also ones that are absolutely beautiful in their madness.
For example, one turns the graphics into black and white , resembling a pencil drawing. And another one flips the screen , and the whole action takes place upside down.
Unfortunately, this feature was removed in version 1.9, but if you are using earlier versions, you will still have access to the graphical madness.
Fallout 4
Legendary PC game from Bethesda. Its action begins in peacetime, which is interrupted by messages about the threat of a nuclear attack. After this, the heroes are forced to relocate from home to a shelter.
Peculiarities
The character is selected at the start of the game in one of the everyday scenes: the appearance is customized and the gender is selected. During the game the user meets other companion characters. You can interact with them: give commands or transfer objects.
VATS mode is available - the game slows down and allows you to aim at a specific part of the enemy’s body, showing the hit percentage.
The user can equip the territory, erect buildings, for example, fortifications or trading shops (in-game money is earned from them).
In addition to construction, the game allows you to craft weapons and armor, and modify them. They also craft food, medicine, explosives, and more in the game.
The Forest
The Forest is dedicated to survival on an island; the character finds himself in a location after a plane crash. The player must provide himself with housing and food, defend himself from the local population, build and craft.
Peculiarities
The character’s task is to find Timmy’s son, who was kidnapped by one of the employees of the Sahara complex. You have to fight with cannibals - an intelligent, organized tribe that is fighting for the same resources as the player himself. The character can sneak into the caves during the day where the tribe lives and kill the cannibals. Moreover, the deeper the hero climbs into the caves, the more dangerous and scary the mobs are.
The world of the forest is huge, it has many opportunities, including for construction and crafting. You can build fires, shelters, fences, traps and much more. To start building buildings or creating items, you need to use the “Survival Guide” (key B). Location matters: if a building cannot be erected in a certain location, then the building design will be displayed in red.
Project Zomboid
This game takes us to the difficult times of the zombie apocalypse and forces us to fight for life, extract resources, engage in crafting and construction. The main difference from all games on a similar topic is that it is at the intersection of the role-playing and survival horror genres.
“This is the story of your death,” the game optimistically declares, and so it is - there is no escape. The only question is where you will die and how. Moreover, this will not necessarily happen at the hands of zombies.
Peculiarities
Zomboid allows you to create a character in great detail, choosing various characteristics: from race and gender to hair color. The game gives you the opportunity to decide who your character worked before the collapse of the world (it will affect skills), to give the hero good and bad traits. For negative ones (laziness, obesity, fatigue, etc.) points are awarded that can be spent on positive ones.
After selecting characteristics, the character finds himself in a random abandoned building. The game is a survival simulator, so the character must monitor the parameters of satiety and fatigue, he should not avoid communication - due to loneliness, there is a high risk of becoming depressed and dying.
The process gradually becomes more complicated - the hero loses electricity, the activity and aggressiveness of the zombies increases. But at the same time, new skills are acquired: the character learns to cook over a fire, engage in construction and crafting items and food.
Project Zomboid makes it possible to build structures - you can build a base, it will protect the player. To open the construction menu, you need to right-click on the site.
Don't Starve
This game is created in the action-adventure genre, with survival and roguelike elements. The game is distinguished by seemingly pencil-drawn graphics. Don't Starve provides the user with good crafting and construction opportunities.
The main goal of the game is to survive as long as possible. Moreover, the game has only two endings: the death of the character or the salvation of Maxwell. The character dies when the number of points reaches 0.
Peculiarities
The game gives the user 6 characters, but to unlock them, you need to stay in the game and gain experience. Points are awarded for the number of days lived. Each of them is divided into three parts: day, evening and night.
During the day, the character leads a normal life: collecting items, interacting with NPCs, eating, exploring, and much more. Evening is the last stage before night, during which the player must build and craft everything he can to survive the night. During this period of time, the character sees nothing and gradually goes crazy while he is attacked by an evil monster. To survive, you need to acquire a light source, such as fire, and make sure that it does not go out.
The main characteristics of the character: sanity, satiety and health (this is an indicator of the character’s life). If satiety is at zero, the character does not die, but gradually health begins to decline. As sanity decreases, the hero will suffer from hallucinations, which does not lead to loss of health. To avoid going crazy, the character must sleep or cook and eat foods that increase sanity.
The user must actively engage in survival: make friends and kill enemies, explore everything new with the help of science, and not least engage in crafting and construction.
To create objects and buildings you need resources, and for complex ones you also need to study a recipe or drawing. After the item is ready, it will move to the inventory, and if there is no space, it will be stuck to the cursor and fall to the ground.
Milk the mushroom cow
Almost every player knows that cows in Minecraft can be milked using a glass bottle. And if you kill them, you get meat and skin.
But these animals also have rare brothers - mushroom cows . These are red and white animals with mushrooms on the wall, looking like the victim of an experiment gone wrong.
Mushroom cows live only on rare “mushroom islands” - special biomes that are usually located in the sea and covered with mycelium. The mushrooms on them grow the size of a tree. Some may have never even seen such islands and the mushroom cows that inhabit them.
Each of them can be milked like a regular cow, but they have a special feature. If you use a wooden bowl instead of a glass bottle, you will get mushroom soup . A virtually unlimited source of food.
Hurtworld
Hurtworld is a multiplayer shooter with survival elements. After you provide yourself with basic needs through construction and crafting, you will have to leave this comfort zone and mine resources and technologies.
A survival game with crafting and construction provides the opportunity to face dangerous opponents, difficulties and harsh environments. The game is played in both PvP and PvE modes
Peculiarities
To obtain resources and loot, you can use the crafting and construction system and create a fortified base.
To build a house, you will definitely need the “Totem” element; it will protect your building from attacks and looting. It is best to build a base in the starting biome.
Hurtworld provides the opportunity to craft a large number of items. Some of them can be created directly in the inventory by opening it and clicking on “Handicrafts”. To create others, you need to be near the workbench (it is created in a simple way through the inventory).
Create an explosion using a bed
Many features in Minecraft are based on the use of oddities in game physics. Sometimes they are used in completely incredible ways. This technique is generally like a glitch in the code. It can hardly be called the best way to blow something up. But he's definitely funny.
As shown in the video above (0:47), the player can place a block of material on the ground and immediately place a bed next to it. All that remains after this is to stand so that the block is located between the character and the leg of the bed, move close to the block and try to lie down in bed.
The resulting explosion is an easy way to mine materials and clear obstacles if you're low on gunpowder.
Dawn of Man
The strategy takes us ten thousand years ago: the player must take control of a primitive settlement and ensure the survival of humanity.
Peculiarities
Depending on the initial conditions, the difficulty is set. You can play in the harsh north or soft south, in a deserted or, conversely, conflict region.
First you need to build a settlement, and then hunt, collect food, extract water, ore and other resources for survival.
Tools are created from resources. Each technology studied expands the possibilities of crafting and construction, which makes life easier for the settlement.
Congenital reflex
There is no need to describe the entire mechanism of reflex activity of biological organisms. This was done superbly by I.P. Pavlov. Let us consider only some aspects of reflex activity.
All vital activity of higher animals is carried out through reflex activity, that is, through the somatic mind of the biological basis of life. A bioorganism—the biological basis of life—is not capable of producing anything more than a reflex. Moreover: the reflex is the only mechanism of the biological basis of higher animals in relationships with the surrounding reality. There are no other mechanisms. Everything we do: we walk, eat, love, hate, think, talk, create - everything, absolutely everything, is carried out and reflected in the central nervous system in the form of reflex arcs.
A reflex is a single response of a biological basis to an external or internal influence, aimed at the survival of the individual, acting independently of human consciousness.
A reflex is always the performance by some muscle, or group of muscles, of a single, highly specific task. The only processes carried out without the participation of muscles - the processes of thinking - are still carried out according to the principle of a reflex mechanism.
A reflex is a structural unit of the somatic mind, which is a cycle of actions:
- Reception by sensory organ receptors of influence from the stimulus,
- the occurrence of excitation in receptors,
- transmission of excitation in the form of an electrical impulse (signal) to the nerve pathways and the passage of the signal along the nerve pathways,
- signal analysis and synthesis of response information in the central nervous system,
- the passage of the response signal along the nerve pathways to the muscles that perform the reflexes,
- muscular response of one of the biologically based organs.
The morphological basis of reflex activity is the central nervous system, led by the brain.
The human brain works with 100% reliability. This corresponds to the dynamic principle of existence. Even if we assume that the brain works, say, with 99% reliability, then, according to the dynamic principle of existence, through natural selection, a person must die, because after 99 correct decisions in life-threatening situations, the brain will definitely give one wrong, fatal decision , which means a death sentence for the individual and then the species. Or it will turn 99% into 100%, and the species will continue to exist.
It would not be a mistake to compare the human brain with a computer (cybernetics arose from the study of how the brain works). Both the brain and the computer work based on the same patterns. The human brain, from this position, is a perfect biological computer.
The “program” for loading the human brain with information is the system of innate reflexes. In response to the input information, the human innate reflex system always produces an adequate response to the input information.
And this program also cannot contain errors according to the same dynamic principle of existence with its mechanism of natural selection.
What is the somatic mind - only a system of innate reflexes?
- Not really:
A person comes into this world with a program of innate actions embedded in it in certain standard situations - a system of innate reflexes.
INNATE (unconditioned) REFLEX is a response of an innate reaction of a biological basis to an influence from the outside (from the surrounding world) or from within the body on the innate reflexogenic zone of a given reflex, aimed at the survival of the individual and acting independently of human consciousness.
Congenital reflexes have in the central nervous system ready-made, genetically determined, laid down even before the birth of the organism, nerve pathways along which the signals that excite the reflex go.
Eco
Eco is a simulation game where players need to create a civilization on the planet and find a balance between all the inhabitants, including other players.
Eco will be of great interest to those who want to study in practice the functioning of ecosystems, their fragility and interconnectedness. There's a lot of social in the game - interacting with and thriving in society is at the heart of Eco.
Peculiarities
The user needs to support the ecosystem of the entire planet through crafting and construction. At the same time, the simulator is quite harsh: if you cut down trees and do not plant them, they will no longer grow. And if you constantly cut down trees, they can disappear from the game forever. And so with all types.
Construction in Eco occurs through assigning tasks to others through the virtual economy. Barter works - you complete other people's tasks while they do yours.
To craft resources you must trade. Your character can choose a specialization and then sell skills to obtain what they need.
