I put a couple of hours into the Island today, just getting the basic granaries (2) building as well as two workshops, and a couple of landmarks. When it starts to open up a bit, it's not SO bad, and I can see once you put a good amount of time into it, it isn't quite as obnoxious to keep going. I'd love to replace the mammets with cat girls though, that'd be nice. Or leather daddies, that'd be okay too.

I can see them expanding it to be much better than it currently is, and that's why I'd like to put some effort into it now so I don't have to do this grind when the good stuff gets here.
