Farming may be optional, but you get punished for it when you decide to do it after activating the Lunar Rifts, due to Brightshade Gestalts having a higher priority for Farm Plants and Weeds.

Less that farming is optional, more that farming is interactive and fun, yet punished by the BS mechanic while lazy plant-and-forget crops like banana are immune.

This creates a situation were players simply avoid content rather than engage with it.  Even @lakhnish's video about how to deter the BS vines is just an elaborate way to bypass the patch so you don't actually have to deal with it (as much.)

Same thing with Wildfires - there were complaints for a long time about how flingo range was too minimal, and upkeep too much, and wildfires can start off screen making them unfair and difficult to stop.  Solution?  Avoid them completely by basing in caves, oasis, or eventually some players just turn them off.  imo if the "smart" thing to do is to just avoid content, it is evidence that content is bad.

The current BS system just isn't that engaging, and is far too active and punishing.
