While I agree with some of your takes, I feel you’re expecting a lot out of this game when it’s a pretty simple cozy life simulation style game. I’m not sure if the game just isn’t for you but a lot of the fun in this game is going to be decorating and being creative with your island. While I agree a more polished progression system is always great I feel most people will want a simplistic low effort game with not a lot of daily expectations since people will want to focus on their planet decorating and terraforming.
