Reviews highlight a mix of frustration and innovation in the grinding aspect of the game. While players appreciate improved farming mechanics and crafting options, the lengthy time required for farming results—such as eight years for turnip seeds—can be discouraging. Additionally, the introduction of dangerous elements like slash and burn farming adds a unique twist to the grinding experience.
“It took my goblins 8 years to get any farming results with 25 turnip seeds... why 8 years?”
“Better farming mechanics and more tool crafting options would improve the grinding experience.”
“Slash and burn farming, because farming should be dangerous too.”
