OK, I just need to rant this out. WHY THE FLYING FUCK IS IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND DAMNED SMALL STONES.
I just downloaded the game, seems like standard survival fare. I need 2 small stones and a branch to make a stone ax, great that should be right at the start of the game, since lacking those VERY BASIC THINGS makes a survival crafting game stupidly difficult. Imagine my surprise, I've found literally 0 small stones. Oh sure, there's plenty of breakable stones, and plenty of texture objects that look like stones, but none of the VERY SPECIFIC STONES needed to actually start getting resources going.
Edit: OK, on the third attempt after 1 crash and a wandering into a parasite camp and dying, I managed to get a lucky spawn and get a second small stone right outside the starting cave. Of course, as I was starting to craft I had to ask myself, why is crafting early things so odd to me. Like, a simple lean-to (the hunters camp thing) made to last really shouldn't take like 8 full logs, splitting them would make sense for the roof at least. Then, why does a fire require long branches? The length of pieces in the fire are more the size of the regular branches, and all the trees I cut down only dropped (from what I can see) small branches and logs, but no long branches. Long branches seem to exclusively drop from the more brush like things than trees, when I'd expect to get small branches from brush and long branches from trees. There's also the odd thing that the player character can carry a whole damn log, but seemingly started struggling when I picked up 4 long branches.
