I'm unfamiliar with stardew valley, but in my eyes there's no point in including a combat system at all when it is as shallow as no man's skies.

Interesting combat and pvp in such an amazing world to explore would make for an absolutely fantastic game, don't get me wrong, the exploration is great, but why not flesh out the combat at this point? they've done so much, at this point it seems like a wasted opportunity.

The thread also mentions hostile fauna hitting through cave walls and the worst I remember is the dash attack of the dog sentinel damaging you even if it was nowhere close to you
