Plus, the fact that you can be tracked down while out and about. Or someone can see where you walk a lot and try to wait in ambush. It very-well might be harder on casual players if they don't want to spend time on combat and defense preparations due to limited play times.
-why even bother with defenses now? torchpost hit for 0.5 dmg and cant crit - you can tank them with a fresh 5 bile alt
-you cant hide in houses
-even more hard progession blocks ( dry boards for stone hedge gate)
Well, it's hardly that dire. Firstly, you can't tank a torchpost with a 5 humor alt. They're easy to build and you're going to have a few. Plus, drain happens just from someone being on your claim. Baby braziers are also reasonably easy to get.
You cant hide in houses because people were building small houses to cheat at killing large animals like darkenbears. You can still enter a mine, which any player's claim is going to have.
Dry boards are very easy to get. It does take a few days, but you can be building the walls in the meantime. And you're not going to have anything worth stealing if you don't even have dry boards and a stone wall yet.
