Vanilla, no. With ACE, yes. Shame the developers abandoned the game, leaving largely unfinished but thankfully it's garnered at active fanbase with knowledge and skills to keep adding new content and mods.

The game runs like dookie. Don’t let anyone convince you the devs abandoned it, they were forced to close via the parent company. Mods have saved it. It’s a good cozy slow paced game where you can design each and every building to your hearts content. Suggest if you have a decent computer, I don’t. If you don’t have a decent one, close all other tabs and limit the game to one hour gaming sessions, close it for 5 minutes then open it again. Work around but it works.

A review for Stonehearth has been long overdue. I have been playing this game on and off since 2018, for a total of over 400 hours. It’s safe to say that I love this game, I keep going back to this game and it is one of my favourite games. That’s why it pained me so much to see it discarded as it has been. Long story short: The game showed a lot of potential initially, promising an advanced engine and flexible building mechanics. But early alpha builds were unstable, and updates were minor, failing to address core problems, which wasn’t good. RIOT Games acquired the studio mainly for the developers' expertise in fighting games, not for Stonehearth, but it got acquired nonetheless. Post-acquisition, the original developers shifted focus away from this game onto their other projects, leaving the remaining team without clear direction. Despite promises, meaningful updates were rare, and key features were never implemented. Eventually, RIOT pushed, the devs caved and the game was declared finished in a disappointing state, far from its potential. An amazing group of modders volunteered to keep the game alive through the Authorized Community Expansion Project or ACE for short. What started as a mod to expand the game vastly, ended up being its sole saviour. All of this to say, yes, the game was abandoned rather unceremoniously and that sucks, because it really was promising, *but* it is still a good game regardless, especially if you add all the wonderful mods that are still being maintained and expanded upon. Stonehearth is a wonderful game in a cosy, voxel setting with the right amount of gathering, crafting, building and fighting to keep brain occupied for hours, even more so with mods. I have yet to find another game with those same parameters that pulls it off this well.

If im being completely honest, the game is no longer updated, it has issues, and these issues will never be fixed. But with that said it has a Basic concept with Fun characteristics, and most importantly There is a specific mod called "ACE" that is essentially keeping the game alive with updates of their own. im not entirely sure what all it does because im still being actively being surprised by features, however they are doing work of devs
