Lack of fast travel is seriously killing the fun for me. About to drop playing the game.

I have been loving the game, playing non stop till level 40. Even transferred my base from the cave to the outside world using a buffalo with a cart.

I really wanted to make a nice base with stone frames and everything, but the amount of manual grinding this requires is just insane for a level 40 player.

I'd expect that as I grow and gain more machines I would be able to cut down on the travel time, but it's quite the opposite. As I progress in the game, all the tedious walking chors increase. I wanted to set up mining drills in different bases but no way in hell i am gonna be travelling all that distance back and forth. I legit don't know how you guys are doing this. Even getting a buffalo with you, it's just extremely annoying to me that I have to constantly kill the same animals i've killed a million times. Like it was fun for a while, I want to see more things in the game, not do the same stuff over and over just to grab ores.

I think I am gonna stop playing for now, I can't handle this kind of grind, seriously hope that the game introduces fast travel/teleportation cause i'd love to see the world and do the missions in the open world. As it is right now, even reaching the place where the mission STARTS will take me like 40 minutes. No way in hell I am doing that.

Was fine while it lasted though I have to say. The game is absolutely amazing and if not for this horrible decision not to have fast travel already, I think it would have many more players and less people dropping.
