The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding the farming mechanics tedious and poorly balanced against the resource demands for defense. While some appreciate the blend of farming and FPS survival, the short daytime limits resource gathering, leading to frustration with the slow-paced farming system. Overall, players feel that the farming component needs significant improvement to enhance the gameplay experience.
- “The farming part is bare-bones at best.”
- “I really cannot stress enough that in a game that advertises itself as a farming game, farming is completely pointless.”
- “It is way too long and tedious to water and ferment every plant one by one, to an extent where it is much easier to completely ignore this aspect of the game to get wood, rock, and buy stuff from the merchant.”
