Everything is on a timer ????

It's really bad about this, you get a very limited amount of inventory without paying or doing a lot of work for only a small increase
Grinding reported on Sep 22, 2022
One must buy machines in order to make items, and then make the items. Increasing storage particularly requires you to grind.

Does not force advertisements on you but withholds "energy" if you don't watch adverts.

Inventory is shortcapped based on level. You can earn or purchase "gold bars" for inventory expansion, earning them requires competition and is often not worth time spent.

Start of every weekly event involves the primary characters having an enticing conversation about the event, to get the player excited and wanting to spend energy.
