Maybe it's just nostalgia for me, but personally I keep coming back to role-play a drunken lout in 80's England.

People saying there is no more than 4 hours of content either don't like that whole setting, or don't actually like the free form building where, yes, there's a small chance something will glitch a bit and smash some portion of what you were busy building, which can indeed be frustrating.

However, I don't know of any other game where you can let off steam in-game by going for an 8 pint pub lunch, get kicked out for vomiting on the barmaid, then go back to the worksite and use your boozy piss to make the mortar to repair your dream home (or whatever decrepit rental coffin you have decided to construct).
