Thanks for the kind words and I can definitely see (and share) your take on this.
However, most of it goes out of the window around the "They should be smart" point
The majority of people just tend to not read warnings/tutorials/etc. and then blame it on the game when something doesn't go the way they want.
(Or expect tons of content and a fully polished game, even though it's nowhere near finished yet).
Aside from that, there shouldn't be any bugs in the game to fix by the user, period.
Of course, right now it's still under development and the whole point of it is to fix all these, but for the finished version there shouldn't.
In this case it's just a sloppy mistake from the dev and I will make sure that he is thorougly punished and denied any food or sunlight until he fixes it.
