   I agree that one of the things that is probably holding the game back is the   
   difficulty.  I'm not sure how one would go about it, but there does seem to   
   need to be a better balance.  I have also messed with the settings a bit and   
   found it challenging to find the balance I'm looking for.   
      
   I haven't worked with the sandbox mode at all.  What is out there on those   
   maps?  Is it just endless woods?  Are there any kind of "goals" that you have   
   to work towards?  Locations you need to visit, etc.?
