Is the portal spawn things automatically too powerful?

[hhhhddh]

I know the portal's spawning speed is not fast, but get something for nothing kinda make me upset in a survival game. Gaining something , good. Gaining something automatically after I collect resources and build something(like automatic farms in Oxygen Not Included), better. But a endless spawning portal is not that satisfying. 

What if the portal loses its spawning power after several times of it daily spitting? I like the idea of trading things with Moon Gleams, what if you need Moon Gleams to recharge it? Conservation of energy, huh ;)   And you can update it with rare materials like iridescent gem to increase the spawning speed and daily spitting times after every recharge?

you are wasting resources to reach the island, fight the possible monkey raids and dealing with the powder monkeys arround the portal

If it makes you upset you can tweak the frequency at which portal rewards you and what kind of rewards it spews in the wolrdgen option.

No need to nerf it for everyone epsecially since it's not that powerful as you claim it is.

For the endless spawning of things to occur, the island has to be loaded and it does the rapid fire spitting once a day for 2 grass/2rocks/2twigs, 2 palmcone saplings, a banana bush, a monkey tail and a powder monkey. It won't slowly spit out items after a certain density of items has been reached, though the daily spitting will occur, depending on when it did it's last spewing.

For the amount of resources that I want to farm from the portal, sitting there for 40-70 days is not something I'm going to do; I'm going to farm Moon Gleams to get what I want faster.

This is definitely a late-game thing since you've got moon storms going up, so it doesn't really matter much unless something else is done with the portal, which even then would still leave the farming of the resources from the portal to still be a late-game thing.

I admit maybe I overstate its power, cause I feel nothing to do after around 500 days and just standing somewhere, defending boss and hound attack, so it is like extra gifts if i stand on the monkey island. 

But the idea of updating the portal is still attractive. For this part I just want to do some discussion with imagination. I don't know if this portal is a in-progress thing, or it already has all functions designed. If it is in progress, it's good for me now. If not, the interactivity of the portal is kinda low isn't it. Hope more interesting functions could be added to the portal.
