While the scope may be not quite what everyone envisioned with "lazy island getaway", it's overall engageable at whatever level you wish: If you never set any plans but just grow crops, feed animals, and sell the surplus you will get the same rewards someone who spreadsheet micromanage crazygathergrinded did. Just much much slower. Considering we have no idea when it will be updated, chances are you have months to get it all as well before anything new rears it's head.

I like to review exactly what their problems are.
