I see your point. I wasn’t really looking for a farming game when I got ACNH either. There are some crops, like sugar, that thematically would fit my island, and I don’t see myself making every dish available and then storing it away in storage indefinitely.I don't know that I'll build one, beyond the pumpkins I already grow. TBH, cooking is not the most exciting feature to me due to the fact that food items aren't really my cup of tea in decorating. Pumpkins have value to me because they are used to make decor that isn't food.
We'll see.
