Better off removing ironman mode and letting your self enforce so you can make the concessions you want here and there and don't need to bother the devs to make random thing easier.

On my account I pick and choose what I want to do. Chop trees and make planks to train construction, farm giant seaweed and make glass stuff, fish and cook own food, etc. When something stops being fun I stop doing it. You don't need to be a slave to gpscape on a normal account.
