the game is amazing but a struggle at early game. id halve the cost for fuel and other neccesery stuff

and decorations. theyre kinda overpriced for doing nothing but being an deco but still an amazing underrated game

The prices for fuel and stuff like that used to be a bit lower, but they recently heavily upped the prices on some of that stuff. I assume it is to make newer players pursue the other options and alternatives to them, rather than just spending an extra 40 or so points every few days when they run out without ever using anything else.

I do kinda agree on the decorations. I get that the intent is probably to have some points sink for later in the game, but it does suffer a bit from making you choose early on between useful stuff like upgrades and tools/machines and purely decorative items. And since especially upgrades can help gain more points, it's easy to choose function over form

The points are there to incentivize your character (and therefore you) to work.
