Enshrouded: Best Difficulty Settings For Builders

Enshrouded has one of the best building systems in survival games so far, but unfortunately, the game lacks a creative mode to truly allow players to go wild with their construction ideas. Manually gathering resources is going to take a long time, and even longer for anyone who wants to build grand castles or bustling villages.

Thankfully, the game lets players customize their experience by offering customizable difficulty settings. These range from enemy density and damage value sliders to options that change resource yields, production speeds, and other settings that can make your Enshrouded base building experience hassle-free.

In summary, the settings above will double your progress when it comes to gathering important building resources like Wood and Stone in Enshrouded, all while making the building process itself more convenient.

Doubled XP gains from quests, exploration, and mining will come in handy for players who want to avoid combat altogether. They’ll still need to unlock craftspeople to get crafting stations up and running, so increasing the XP yields from the craftspeople quests is going to be a great way to get those extra levels. Granted, leveling isn’t that important, but skills under the Survivor tree can greatly increase your quality of life. Take note that you can change your difficulty settings at enemy time via the main menu, provided that you’re hosting your own server.

Lastly, if you really don’t want to gather materials on your own, there are downloadable save files in Nexusmods featuring millions of building materials. You can take materials from the worlds in these save files and bring them somewhere else, so if you want unlimited resources on a private multiplayer server, consider getting one of these save files.
