Players express frustration with the excessive grinding required to build bases and gather resources, often feeling that the effort does not yield sufficient rewards.

“The controls suck, it's difficult to do anything, you can't walk and look around, sometimes it lags with the buttons, you move forward as you collect things, I don't think there is a farming system (which would be a great improvement); it's fun all in all, but the controls are unnecessarily difficult to deal with, and it is difficult to get materials for anything.”
