Based on what PRECISELY? The floppy disk system has several aspects that require monitoring over the long term and can cause odd issues, but in general the type of tediousness is better. The effects on gameplay are basically null and if anything it's better. If you're waiting on the request taking a step outside to look for berries or grab a nearby transformer is fairly reasonable and if you make the fairly cheap upgrades the time cost is negligible. Something like a third of the upgrade slots are already done so that's 24*2 =~ 50 --> 50*25=1250 for a total system upgrade which is nothing when you build your frames early and or do basic farming to supplement food. You've also got a basically guaranteed 60pts per day as long as you remember to turn the tapes back on before you even bother with anything else.
The server minigames are more broken and the coordinates triangulation is more tedious and both are fine.
What is the issue here?
