Yeah, that's true. My idea was to make the player not be able to immediatly start cutting trees at the very spawn moment.
Actually, Underground cabins ARE made of wood and you can not only take their platforms but also the wood blocks witch they are made of. I could make it difficult making all of the "wood-like" cabins be made of another different material for avoiding such thing. Like making them be made of some brick.
About the other part of mushrooms and bamboo, yeah, you can really do this, but think that the enemies are really hard to beat and that going to the underground at the start of the game without any resources and no better weapons or armor is actually a suicide. You wouldn't do it, would you?
Yeah, but you will need to have a certain amount of money, plus an unoccupied house, witch I don't know what material you will use to make it if you don't have wood. (dirt and stone are not considered good for a house)
And again, bamboo and mushrooms ARE HARD to obtain in Doctor mode (remembering that enemies have the same stats as in Master mode).
Witch I don't know how you would obtain.
First you will need to obtain wood and iron/lead bars. I also don't know how you will obtain that if not following my suggested way of doing it.
And you would need to have a good bait, plus a lot of patience and luck. (not a good option)
How would you get that bucket if not using iron/lead bars at an anvil??
Another thing: wouldn't the lava swallow and melt the wood dropped?
Um, yes, of course. Yes, you will get the ores. WHAT? Furnace at a cabin? Impossible! There aren't any furnaces that can be found at Underground cabins! but you could get the Hellforge if you are really hard to kill and have some luck.
Go ahead and explore whatever you want! But there will be no axe at the start of the game at this mode!
Just remembering that we're all on the same side, I don't want this discussion to become a fight, okay? Everything in peace and tranquility.
