Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be overly tedious, particularly due to the need to replant every part of a fixed pattern individually, which feels like a memorization chore with minimal rewards. Many express a desire for quality-of-life improvements, such as the ability to select and place entire patterns at once, to alleviate the repetitive nature of the gameplay. Overall, the current grinding mechanics detract from the enjoyment of the game.
