I get what they're going for at the base level, that your resources are using up and exhausting people to advance the state as a whole. But they added way too much stuff and put in all these complex hooks between features. It turns everything into way more of a slog where you're just waiting and waiting to get past this threshold to wait for the next one rather than something where you can DO SOMETHING whenever you pop in. Unless you're going to actually sit there clicking endlessly. (Or run an equivalent script.)
Like a lot of the AdVenture Capitalist events actually.
