I usually get bored with city builders once you get to the point where you found out you need x of these and y of those to support z of some other resource generation, and just repeat building those patterns. I also highly dislike having too much to just memorize, eg. unintuitive synergies or effects of buildings (reus comes to mind, which I adored until the point where biome combinations became just random and I had no idea how to know how to proceed without a wiki open on the other screen).
Both of these things happen here too, but it's at a level that I can stomach, because almost everything is straight up intuitive, well supported with tooltips or at the very least links into the ingame encyclopedia.

Usability is slick in most spots making it a breeze to play, and the combination of city building with roguelite aspects makes for head scratchers every map, when I finally realize I forgot there's some resource I can't access and have to work around or hope to trade like a madman.

I can't remember when I last sunk that many hours into a game in such short time, I actually was annoyed I had to cook with family over the holidays instead of being able to push 16h of gameplay a day ;)
