Players note that the grinding aspect of the game can be quite slow and demanding, particularly in leveling up farming skills, which requires significant tech points and repeated actions. However, many find that the experience becomes more enjoyable as they progress and start solving puzzles, making the initial grind feel worthwhile.
- “To fish again you'll need level 3 farming, which is, if I recall, 90k tech points, not including buying level 2 farming.”
- “Then after you get level 3 farming, you need to drop a master scientist/master farmer into the pond and they will pull out algae-eating fish. You need to do this with a handful of people or a handful of times before it actually works.”
- “It starts out kind of slow and requires a lot of grinding, but it becomes enjoyable after you start completing puzzles.”
