If the farming system becomes more advanced and plant health was more of a thing, this seems like it could be ok, but in the end this game is designed around the need to go out and hunt. That's part of what makes it a much better game than ARK or Don't Starve that become more and more base centric. Some "clicker" grinding is ok, but it shouldn't be the main grinding necessary. Going out into the forests and coming back with a haul of berries still being valuable so any players can still adventure and contribute to everything else is part of the greater appeal as well. Also, if anything is a pain it's always needing more Thistle :P
