I'm honestly in the same boat. I come back to this game every major update but I find the survival mechanics are a bit too in-depth for me. Creative mode and chisels are a lot of fun, though.

Also if you didn't know there are all sorts of difficulty settings you can tune when creating a new world, I think there's one for slowing the hunger meter.

As cool as I think the knapping and clay working mechanics are, I also quickly decided that they were tedious. I do mean to get back to it though since I didn't get much further than that, and I definitely missed a lot of what is there. Maybe playing solo did it no favors.

I play with a few friends, and I can confirm that multiplayer adds a lot to the game. It also helps with things like starving, because you can have people focusing on cooking/hunting/farming etc.
