I agree, I don't mind the fishing and the garbage cleanup (garbage bag rolls are coming), but the food spoilage system is really annoying, and the food boredom mechanic are downright unfun.
On the topic of the garbage, my only complaint is the sheer amount of it, and the dirt problem. I spent the first 4 days of the game obsessively cleaning it because I couldn't stand seeing it EVERYWHERE.
There's a good chunk in this latest update that killed large amount of the excitement I had for it. I appreciate things to do when I'm not doing my tasks, but I think some of it is bordering on vibe-killing.
Especially having to plug in electronics. I now have to have my base layout with appliances focused entirely around those plugs, and you can't plug 2 in at once.
It's annoying, and unnecessary.
