Bit meh tbh. A lot of progression is dependent on whether or not you can upgrade your tools, and that’s heavily RNG. We’ve had plenty of games where we just could not roll the ores to upgrade our tools.
Mining is the one part of the game I don’t like. I’m ok with the RNG of fishing, animals, foraging, and cards. You’re still usually making progress even if you didn’t roll what you wanted.
But a lot of things rely on ores, and there isn’t a good way to mitigate bad rolls like other tools. Even the pickaxe barely helps, and that’s because you need one exact roll in most cases. Descending levels is at least possible outside of mining with a couple stones, but only barely.
