Random observation

Island sanctuary is precisely what was advertised. Your expectations don't factor into the equation at all.

Not even true.

I mean sure, it's not alternative housing like many people expected but... it's anything but casual like it was advertised.

You start off grinding island resources and end off having to spreadsheet out profits for your workshop.

Except you don't have to do grind resources hardcore. You can just gather a little here and a little there as you want then build when you get enough.

You don't have to resort to spreadsheets to earn cowries from the workshop. You can make what you want and you'll still earn cowries.

You might have chosen to do those things but it's not a requirement that the content be played that way.

The content is very casual if you play it casually.
