'ello forums ^.^ I've pursued since long ago, a game that has at least these traits:

  • Sandbox environment, or a very large map.
  • Survival aspects.
  • RPG-ish elements.
  • Decent, three dimensional graphics.
  • Ability to build, create, edit or place structures.

Minecraft won't do. It's just too... blocky. Sheesh. Having played it for long enough I grew bored. So, I've searched for a game where you have to survive in a random environment, where you can have your own sort of... house/base (being able to fully build or create one would be above the expected), where there's at least a few RPG elements, and, that has DECENT graphics (Three dimensional space can be traversed. XYZ?)

If any of you knew anything similar available for Steam... it'd be... amazing >:D

You can "edit" your house.

Comparing the ability to edit your house with his requirement is like having an options menu be equal to modding your game.

His requirement:

Hm. I relied on the bullet point. The paragraph was so much tl;dr after an all-nighter.

Point to you sir, point against me, and a yellow flag against OP.

Another SG forum post made me think of Soccer/Football.

I remember having a mod on New Vegas that allowed you to construct bases. It also included resource management. I can't find it though. Maybe someone knows it.

That's the one. Appears it's available for Fallout 3 as well. There are some other similar mods like that as well though. To OP - don't forget mods, some games that don't have the things you want in vanilla, have them as mods.

+1 Stranded 2 is a fun game. And it's free! It's really quirky though and it has a very limited building aspect.

StarForge might do it for you. It's in Early Access, so it's still being developed.

It tops everything, but I'm afraid it's far too resource intensive. :c

It's not out yet, but is on Steam Greenlight. Planet Explorers. A open world RPG with some action, with building of structures and so forth in a sci-fi setting.

The other is Kenshi, which just recently got approved from Greenlight. Closer to a RTS in style, but still all the things you are looking for.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/233860

I can't really think off too much beyond that with at least a large size world on top of it.

Recently? Wat?

It was among the first early access titles back when early access was introduced, I remember because I bought 80 € worth of early access games when early access came out, including Kenshi.

I can think of a few different games that might fit the bill for your OP, but I think mostly they are in early access/alpha/beta phases etc.
StarForge for sure is, and is very slow in the updating.
There's another game called Planet Explorers that I tried out and find fairly enjoyable, but is also in Alpha.
And then I only briefly checked out the game Windborne, which I think is much closer to release state.

All three of those games are full 3D with a strong emphasis placed on building. Planet Explorers actually has some survival elements to it as well, needing food and drink etc, nasty enemies, etc. Also has quests for the other survivors, and some pseudo RPG mechanics to it...
So I think that would be the best choice for you to check out.

Oh wait I did forget one. State of Decay has base building. I'm just not sure how advance the base building is and how much control you have over it.

ArcheAge is a Korean(?) MMO where you build anything and everything. It fits the description of the OP, but the system requirements might be a bit high.

I am cautiously optimistic about EQLandmark and EQN. While I would love for them to do what they are promising, SOE has a habit of making wild claims and then sorta forgetting to finish them.

Dark Cloud 1 & 2? Not sandbox though.
EDIT: Oh Steam, didnt actually spot that last sentence! Mount & Blade then I guess.

Windborne, but it's still in pre-alpha. I have tried and it's not too stable (for me anyway) yet but it looks really promising!

They had a big giveaway on Gamepedia not too long ago those keys are gone, but if you click the link, and read the 3rd sticky, they are still handing them out occasionally.
