Ye there definitely needs to be some rebalancing of resource collection. One of my major gripes was the fact you can't see how much of each resource you're collecting unless you went back to the ship. There was a build of the game (not sure if it's the jam version) where jungle slimes would drop one or two leaves per kill. Which was brain-numbing, since the boss fight planet originally required 50 of these things. We definitely bit off more than we could chew, lol.
Thanks for playing!
