I don’t think the game is that grindy, if anything, due to constant feedback from players, I think it’s gotten almost too not grindy for this genre of game, like it hits you with too much new stuff too often, to the point I worry players will get overwhelmed or just forget about entire game systems or miss out completely on certain activities and events. Obviously I’m biased, since I made the game, so maybe I need to collect some feedback on this point.
Either way, I’m not saying you’re wrong. If you think it’s too grindy that’s unfortunate, and I’ll try to see what I can do in future versions.
As far as needing to urinate, I don’t know. That’s something I need to collect feedback on, too. I think this is the first complaint I’ve ever gotten about that.
The patron edition lets you shut off various “emergencies” like pissing yourself, so it’s possible some people agree with you but have it shut off in that version, so maybe I haven’t gotten as many complaints about it as I should have.
I can collect some feedback on the grindiness and the rate of urination.
