One thing I notice can help out with everything is the grass or plants not as tall. I took a break from playing and played some Skyrim. I notice that they use short grass and with it easier to see items or kills. I lost a few animal and bandit kills from the tall grass in Rising World. That should even help with the graphics, less to load. I was thinking 1/4 to 1/2 the current size to be smaller. Or have kills lay on top of grass until looted or hide body. Just like saplings laying on top of grass. Snow biome and grassland grass can stay the same, just around forest and mountains. Also for future biomes to help cut the graphic demand on tall grass.

I finally got done exploring, building, and growing crops in a snow biome underground. Try to do it dead center of the snow area. I dug a cave like hole but first cleaned the area of bears. Single player, survival mode.

The layers I went through were snow (cannot be harvested), mud (look at everything crafting, useless), the stone. I was surprise to find the deeper I went in the ground, the colder it got vs the surface. Same effect at snow at night for temperature. Was wearing warmth cloth set but hat that gave 50 insulation, still got cold.

Once I had enough mats for building workbench and block bench, outside until I had large underground area. I built the ceiling under the mud layer. So I will not poke holes above to the surface. 5 blocks inside with floor and ceiling was total of 7 blocks. Instead of mining too wide of a place, I went down and made a large underground floor. I had a rock path so I can make blocks or dump stuff in a chest. With the main area done with walls, ceiling, floors, and ramp. The ramp connected up to a door that was ground level. Angle tunnel with ramps. Ramps where the floor and ceiling. Threw some windows with glass for light. To finish off the lower floor was very deep, no walls on the side, just bare rock. 3 pillars for the ladder (3 ladder parts to get out). Standard with crafting stations and water thrown in the corner. For the drinking water without using a canteen. Lightning torches/lights.

Underground farming/garden. I ran back to my main house and grab lots of dirt and other mats/items. I put the dirt down on the top the stone. This was the tricky part If you use the rake or hoe too much, you hit the stone and have to start over. Little hilly but mostly flat. I planted crops that keep growing and harvesting them. I did corn, strawberries, and tomatoes. Then hunted down a cherry tree and apple tree. The area was big enough to plant fruit trees, meaning height wise. When I planted everything I notice everything is a brownish yellow color. Still waiting on the fruit trees but the vegetables are that color even when ripe. Seem like a lot slower to grow. Torches for lighting.

I made a above ground tower which had issues dragging blocks to build many. 90% of the time was one block build unless filling in walls. Ceiling was glass windows with window frames. Base of the tower, put 2 statues and Christmas tree.

Temperature. With no heaters or campfires, underground was colder than surface expect at night, the same. The main room had a campfire and radiator heater which gave enough heat to wear starter clothes without get cold. Once you walked outside, you froze. For the garden area, about the same size as above floor but deeper. Found cold areas which needs more heaters.

Takes away do build/make but snow biome underground house ready to live in and watch the snow come down. Also give you that Christmas feel during the winter time.

I made a underground house with a tower above ground. Every time I log in the game (single player survival) the tag is gone and the building on the map is gone too. It has lights/campfires and so on. Other areas on the map for mark locations stay there.

For the size, I was bit sad. I find very large forest, good size mountains. The grasslands seem almost same size of the snow areas which is small. At least the North and South directions. I was around the starting area for the game, was in the snow area. I usually travel one full day for exploring. The snow area walked straight north into another forest biome. I thought it would be bigger.

Yesterday and today I notice my inventory has 2 slots that mouse cursor changes to normal mouse. The area is the second row, right side under slot 4 and 5. Single player survival game. I can leave to menu then re enter the game and the back to normal.

Forgive me if there is another post about water. I just got the game and in survival. I was trying to make a well so I do not have to run to a lake or pond to drink. No matter how much water I poured into a well type area, the water moved up. Same goes for down, you can drown if too deep. Placing water is 1 per tile. Water have some strange things in the game. You can place water from a bucket in a hole, on a side of block, or open ground which look like jello. Just cannot stack the water. Also if sinks could give water to drink or use.

Have not found lava or sand to see if the stays on top or disappear.
