Its not even the gardening that makes the game too easy, its just everything. I have 2 cabinets full (thats 50/50 x2) of water in my safehouse, two cabinets full of food, and one half full. And I havent even touched gardening yet. This was all from just scavenging. And I didnt even scavenge hard. I setup my house kinda sorta near the lumber yard, so there was a couple restaurants around me but thats it commercially. Everything else was just houses. And even if a horde spawned, they couldnt touch me. I have extended my house into a fortress. A courtyard right outside my house, a hallway surrounding it (2 walls all the way around with 3 spaces between them) several "rooms" off of that hallway, and another wall around all of that. Carpentry is too fast and too easy. Scavenging is too easy. Im not even going to say its because of the spawn problem because this fortress took me maybe 1 week of gametime to make. Maybe its because carpentry dosent seem to make noise anymore, I don't know. All I know is I don't fear for my life at all past day 2. Dont get me started on how much ammo or how many axes I have. I think NPCs will be the determining factor, because those bastards would see my place and probably try to rob me. NPCs will be what makes this game or breaks it for me when they're finally implemented. Also this was in westpoint, the one thats "supposed" to be more balanced.
