I don't mind the grind. After all, it's what this type of game is and I go into it knowing that it is going to be a grind. I like to build, so again, I know it's going to be a grind to do this. I am currently grinding for materials because I'm getting ready to expand my base. I do explore (looking for my next build location), and I do fight in the areas that I have explored and I am preparing for the next Boss, but it's all a grind. If you come into a game like this (survival), and then complain about how much grinding you are doing, then a survival game is probably not your type of game.
