Depending how quickly you move through the story I'd say within the first year of the game you won't be worrying to much about stamina anymore.
In both My Time games it got to the point where I was running around trying to figure out what to use my extra stamina on to collect more resources before ending the day. But I generally enjoy playing efficiently like that.

Companies use PIPs as a way to "fire for performance" to lay people off without actually laying them off and having to pay out extra in severance or benefits and stuff.
No matter how much you improve, you're most likely going to be let go no matter what.

A final candid conversation may be necessary to say "hey this is how we want to play, we don't want you to spoil stuff or tell us we are doing things wrong, or anything else they've done etc. If you can't get on board with that then maybe we can do a playthrough later on with you after we've finished the game" or something to that affect.
The fact that you have two other friends who want to play the same way you do and are on board is practically a miracle in itself. Don't sacrifice that for one selfish person who can't appreciate what YOU want to do with YOUR game. Appreciate the group you have because that's a hard and rare thing to find

That's good they dropped it. I'd like to believe they wouldn't have a chance in hell of winning anyway, but who knows with how things are these days

You have a bunch of these which make up the "pixels" of the image via reflection (and then colored mirrors or filters you can mechanically swap before the light heads to the moon.
So you're just using natural sunlight and redirecting it. The only power needed would be for positioning the satellites correctly to shine at the right spot. No lunar dust issues either.

You would probably build satellites to do it, and even at that you could build a complex array of mirrors (maybe colored mirrors? Is that a thing)which could each act as a pixel and redirect and concentrate sunlight at the moon to achieve the effect.
Then the only power needed would be to calculate and adjust the station according to the orbits to keep everything aligned

Early game it's good to have the slow traversal so you can explore, discover areas. and collect resources including killing tons of bugs for their parts which are also resources.
Planet Crafter was amazing, I can't wait for the next DLC! Also the QoL stuff you mention comes with the drones and auto crafters. Once you have those you can automate crafting most resources. I had a pink crystal/fusion core auto crafting farm setup with auto selling rockets to farm terra tokens. Once it was setup I never had to touch it again.

There's a couple differences, but if you love the game, it's more of the game.
And with the Moons update from earlier this year you can connect both planets as well as the two new moons together with rockets.
I would definitely say the DLC is worth it if you enjoy the game. It supports the devs and it's only $8 for essentially double the content of the base game (not counting the moons as those came after)
No it's definitely a bad story. I also haven't finished the game yet, but it's such a weak and cliche setup that the whole story is then built upon.
It definitely leads to some humorously dark moments like the elephant. But other than that the premise sucks. I feel like it wouldn't be that hard to have had a slightly better setup to build the story on.
It's really weird that the game is supposed to be about working together and being a team but youre never rooting for the characters to do so despite thats what your playing it as. it's a weird disconnect where what you do doesn't match what the characters say and do.
