Island Sanctuary: Rest Cycles? Why?

[Saraide]

I don't understand it either but it is what it is...

It's slight of hand. The amount of work days for the mammets and the amount of cowries you can get per week are not actually related, they just appear to be. The devs can adjust each of those seperately. Island sanctuary could have easily been designed in a way that features no rest days but the same cowries potential per week.

It does lead to the funny implication that the workshop mammets are unionized however. The granary mammets on the other hand are not.

Why do we need this needless time gating? Is there a benefit to blocking people earning cowries? It's not like they come fast as it is.

Game Mechanic reason: insert stupid reason tied to wanting to make boring tasks stretched out so they don't have to make as much content

In-game reason: The official island governments of Placethatdefinetlyexists have decreed that you are not allowed to turn your island into a communist/socialist state where the working class is forced to work without pay/leave.
