[Suggestion] Homestead Buff

87 votes

There needs to be a clear choice in building a structure or living in caves without directly nerfing caves. There should be a tiered buff gained when you've spent time in or slept in a constructed shelter. It should be based on materials used and surrounding benches/ technology nearby. So a thatch structure with a crafting table might just give tier 1, but a concrete with tier 4 benches may give tier 3 or 4.

For example:
Tier 1: 5% movespeed 10min
Tier 2: 50 life and 25 stamina 15mins
Tier 3: 10% less damage taken 20 mins
Tier 4: Double all bonuses and duration

Players need a trade off from living in caves vs structure that's very impactful. This also gives a reason to go home and refresh the buff. Also a cave with humidifier can then be used as a structure like this with appropriate benches to justify the cost of the humidifier.

Cant upvote this enough!! Along with wood and thatch being mostly useless, the early grind until level 15 and stone houses its pointless to made a wooden house, lest you take a trip to a cave and come back to a pile of ash
