The game has turned into fish hunting for 2-3 hours a day so I can advance the tech tree or the story. I guess it's time to move on. There is nothing fun about playing the game the last couple weeks if that's all I am doing each time I play.
The specific, sole items needed to advance should not be near impossible to find, or there should be another work-around. It doesn't have to be spawning them in, but that's why I'm here, because there is no other way.
