The thing is that everything you are complaining about is part of the progression system. Food upgrades and armor upgrades are absolutely needed if you want to explore the next biome in relative safety,

It isn't some pointless grind that you see in a lot of games where you grind for hours for tiny rewards to finally unlock something "better" but it is just another piece of garbage.

In this game I feel rewarded for the work I do.
If there wasn't some form of progression system you could just run through the bosses in a few hours.

Except it is, The bronze equipment tier is just the most obnoxious tier of it, complete jank made to waste time, And at no point did you explain just HOW it is reasonable to smash three ingots of the same size and volume together and lose two halves of it.

On my first playthrough i didn't even bother getting full bronze equipment because of the absurd amount of time it would take, i went into the swamp with troll hide armor, a bronze pickaxe and a bronze mace and after 3 hours i brought something like 400 iron on my swamp outpost and had full iron gear by the end of that day, Even for the "normal" tedium of the game bronze is just ridiculous.

Well if you played the game more you would realize you don't need to make bronze armor. In my latest playthrough, bronze was by far my shortest tier, just made some tools and moved on.
