Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly criticizing the lengthy crafting times for larger items and the repetitive nature of setting spawn points. Many suggest that reducing the time required for certain actions would enhance the overall experience.
“But the larger items take way too long to craft, and that 30 seconds I'm stuck hiding while building a bed to set my spawn point is kind of tedious. I feel that cutting that time to about 12 or 14 seconds would be better.”
“The worst part of it all is not the NPCs and farming for materials, but having to continually grind for resources.”
