grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly due to the need to start with agriculture before progressing to industrialization, which can feel limiting. The user management system and interface are criticized for being cluttered and unintuitive, contributing to a frustrating experience. Overall, while the game has potential and appeals to fans of city builders and farming sims, it requires further refinement to enhance gameplay.
- “It is tedious to always have to begin with agriculture to get things going when I want to be a dirty industrialist, not a farmer.”
- “Refunded it, the region system feels weird; I can only build 2 farms in a farming region. The UI is cluttered and feels unintuitive.”
- “Yes, it has a weird factory to map size ratio, and yes, it has a tedious user management system. It's annoying that you don't get any indication when placing factories whether road and rail interfaces are going to work with the rest of your economy, and for sure, it's too expensive in its current form.”
