After playing @Pixels (https://www.binance.com/zh-CN/square/profile/pixels) for a while, I noticed a lot of players do the same thing: they create Excel sheets to compare the stamina/profit ratios of crops like berries and pumpkins, even quantifying the steps to the workshop to the max.
At first, I was calculating too, thinking about how to use the least stamina to earn the most coins. But as I played more, I realized that when you put all your energy into chasing 'unit efficiency', it feels like you've forgotten this is a game.
To maximize profits, you've got to log in at specific times, click repetitively, and farm like a bot, losing all the interaction and fun of the game. Slowly, you become less of a gamer and more like a factory worker following the task board's rhythm.
Actually, the stamina system and production chain of Pixels were designed to maintain economic balance. But many players, in pursuit of profits, unconsciously trap themselves in an 'efficiency cage,' getting more worn out while drifting further away from the original spirit of the game.
I've seen quite a few friends who originally entered the chain game with a chill mindset, but ended up becoming 'workers' setting alarms every day to log in. They started to earn tokens, but instead, the tokens ended up hijacking their time and energy.
Have you ever felt like the more you calculate the value for money, the more exhausted you get?
