I think a poll to see where the majority of players are on the subject. My friends and I stopped playing because we only get 3 hours a week to play (game night), and we didn't want to spend each week just farming iron.

I don't know if Valheim has the same player base from a year ago or if it has dropped. If it has dropped, would adding that feature bring them back?

If the game had an automated system you had to work to unlock, then it's not taking away from you doing it your way if you choose not to use them.

The goal is to make the game that people will play and enjoy while staying true to the dev's idea of the game. I wonder if any automation fits into that.
