Disclaimer: have not played in a few years. So this answer is only true for a state of game from before the mistlands update (November/December 2022)
You will have a lot of chests with a lot of stuff. Inventory management is part of the game. You can not carry metal (heavy and important) through portals and are forced to transport them yourself. You will have limited inventory space. You will basically move through tiers of materials (woods, metals etc), but low tier materials will never be obsolete, so you need to store a lot.
That being said: it is all worth it. Your stuff can be destroyed you drop your stuff on death and it makes moving through dangerous parts of the map a lot more exciting and challenging.





probably not, unless you add certain services back onto your phone. currently, gemini needs the google workspace to do anything, even something like setting a timer or reminder. i obviously dont know what change they make with that announcement, but i dont think they would offer such a feature without sucking the user deep into the google service world.
