Enshrouded has too much potential to be a "build your house game"

To be clear, we agree :) We have so much more planned than just more ways to build, and given how much success the game has already had, we plan to keep making updates to it for a very long time.

There will always be a balance, we have a pretty wide range of players. Some players almost exclusively build and nothing else, whereas others basically never touch the building systems unless they have to, and obviously everything in-between. So we intend for both systems to grow and interact with each other more with time, we aren't going to focus on just one.
