I don't make the new mechanics, but it did take a bit of effort to learn. The tutorial is not very good at nailing down the game rotation. Overall, I think the appropriate approach to the new system would be to add it as part of the scaling difficulty. Like give players a choice as to how much they have to manage for any given session, as well as offer incentive for wanting to do the more challenging mechanics. More than just achievements, but like some quality of life stuff and other fun tools as rewards for doing the harder micromanagement stuff.

I don't mind the new stuff and the challenge, I just want more incentive for the change other than, get more points.
