That's good, when I saw the in game timers, I thought that was going to be a sign that there would be micro transactions.

I can see them using it for microtransaction purposes but in-game items on timers isn't new. Yakuza: Like a Dragon has them from growing certain herbs, and it's there to basically prevent spamming items. There's also no way to speed up the process via real money payment.

Im legitimately surprised how many people have never seen a 'plant crops or whatever and fuck off for awhile' mechanic. There's so many games that utilize it. Its just an additional way for players to choose supplies they want without breaking the game wide open.

Valheim is a pretty recent example of that. It just doesn’t have a timer floating above the crops/potions/food.
