Players find the grinding aspect of the game excessive, particularly due to the high resource demands for crafting, such as needing 150 bricks which can take around 20 minutes to gather. This grindy experience seems designed to prolong gameplay time without offering significant challenges, leading to frustration among users.
“It was very grindy, asking for a lot of coal to fuel a furnace to churn out brick from stone.”
“The improved crafting station needed 150 brick, which will take maybe 20 or so minutes of grinding.”
“I couldn't help but think they were stretching the time people spent in the game by grinding their first home, unaware that there were no threats at all in the game.”
