Gets very slow very fast. But also one of the most addictive. Especially earlier on though. If there was some mini game people could play to have a chance (skill based chance might be best) to speed up the expedition timer or merger timers, that could help a lot. It's ok for a game to be this slow after an hour but it needs to let people come back in a few hours. Expeditions do not keep happening, animals are not crafted. Too slow to focus on. But requires too much focus to leave. It's like a 5 minute clicker. Click once every five minutes. Some automation could fix it. Hire some helpers to keep crafting or expeditioning. Or give us a way to speed those things up. Should we stay or should we go? This game, though more addicting than most idle games due to its enchanting-ness, leaves the player in an awkward place between going and staying.
