Island Sanctuary supply dramatically shifting in the background

So there's something called the Lazy Man Presets which we can set for a week.
LMP does not care about supply and demand,uses no crops/leavings/granary mats and makes about ~10k/week from the workshop.

We also get 2k a week from Challenge Logs.

Combining the 12k from workshop and passive income:

12k + 6744 = 18,744

500k/18744 = ~27 weeks

If players approached this without even minimal workshop optimization that's nearly 7 months.

Doable?

Yes.

Questionable game design decision by SE devs?

Also, yes.



Hopefully, it won't take as many iterations as Diadem/Eureka for SE to get IS right.

I might just be in the minority because long grinds don't really phase me anymore lol. I just do the thing and eventually get the thing and do other things in the meantime (other content, other games, real life) to fill up my day. It's still casual content though, all you need is patience to complete it.

You've not provided any substantial reasoning as to why SE could not have designed IS systems to be casual and relaxing as they previously stated.

I don't have to provide substantial reasoning because they did design it to be casual. I'm playing it that way right now. You're the one coming in here with all these added numbers. It doesn't matter how they do any of it, you're gonna go straight back to the numbers and the forecasting to make it a miserable experience for yourself.

That it takes 7 monts now can still be fine, usualy in future patches, things get devalued, for IS this is very likely also going to happen (especialy when we have 11 and 12 materia), this enables the devs to add more thigns in IS, causing higher cowrie generation, without instantly breaking everything. Sure, the rewards will become significantly easier, but they can add new ones to that (which again can have similar times for collecting).

Its much better that it takes 7 months since its mostly afking content anyway. Even if it takes 12 months, and you barely spent time on the island, its still fine. Its content that you can set up in less than an hour every week and still have a steady income (sure, its not the best income, but still functional). Otherwise this would be dead content in just 2 months.
