Well i think i did everything properly. Braziers, brick walls, In the middle of nowhere never seen a soul other than my closest neighbors. Been playing a couple months, enjoying the crafting, had a large settlement, carried every brick. Enjoyed satisfaction of the work well done for sure. Never stole, met my closest neighbors, all three were good people for sure. Was doing some gathering close to my village prepping for my weekend, was looking forward to playing this weekend, the wallpaper idea looked interesting, great idea BTW. Two kids run up and 2 hit me. I can understand looting, even raids, but to lose all your skills, character and hard work is just to much for this type of game play. Even if I were to start anew it would take a couple more months to even begin to be able to use my homestead again. Not to mention these kids are grievers for sure, and it would just be one death after another from this point on.
Great game on the crafting end. Just not my game. Till then, good luck.
