I want to give feedback about the resource gathering mechanic.
Currently, when collecting resources, you can press the button again at the exact timing to make the gathering faster and obtain more materials. While this is interesting at first, it becomes problematic over time because gathering is something players must do very frequently.
After a while, this mechanic stops being engaging and becomes repetitive, tedious, and exhausting, especially when farming large amounts of resources. Instead of feeling rewarding, it feels like unnecessary friction added to a basic system that should be smooth.
I would strongly suggest reconsidering this mechanic for regular resource gathering.
Possible alternatives could be:
-
Removing the timing input entirely for standard gathering.
-
Keeping it only for rare resources or special nodes.
-
Making it an optional bonus instead of something expected every time.
I really enjoy the game, but this system currently hurts the long-term experience.
