Island sanctuary doesn't feel right.

Comparing it to CIV or any actual resource management game is a disservice to the developers who actually put effort into CIV/Tycoons/whatever else.

Crafting is also a resource management mini-game. The point was in reference to my original point "I think a lot of the people who are disappointed thought that Island Sanctuary could be housing, rather than another Resource Management mini-game. I've played most versions of the Sid Meier's Civilization games over the years (starting with 1.0), as well as the Microsoft "Age of ..." RTS games. That sort of thing is greatly familiar."

Its really not lmao.

I get that, I just think the comparison is incredibly, incredibly dumb lmao. RTS games=/=Island Sanctuary. Like at all.

Being aware that it was going to be a resource-collection game isn't some grand epiphany that divides the enjoyers from the haters. I was expecting it to be that sort of game at a broad scope, and my disappointment is in the details and the presentation and the story that is woven around our arbitrary clicking on sparkly lights.

Yes, this exactly. Moreover, I don't think many people were expecting housing, rather they were expecting a farming-sim lite.
