The other thread about favorite mechanics is great, so let’s also do the opposite: what are some of your most hated mechanics?

  • I like crafting in general, but the “trek across the map to collect large quantities of ingredients only available in a specific place” part of it, when there is no way to automate that process, and especially if you also have very limited and manually managed inventory space, is maddening (looking at you, subnautica, gosh darnit.)
