I don't get why people play games like palworld just focusing on working on their base without considering game objectives and goals, they all sound so dead inside and not like they're having fun, it's like watching someone overwork themselves for that extra bonus their entire life and when you ask them "what are you gonna do with all that money?" they respond with "? I don't know". If it was me I'd only upgrade things to a comfortable minimum level, and then when I hit an obstacle in the game's main objective I'd do the upgrades needed to overcome them, then rinse and repeat.
I kinda see why people hate watching ARK streams and others like it.
