This is a sorry excuse for an idler game. Too much of my play through, I had to do something about every 4-12 minutes. The 12m being on a market that shows up to upgrade plants. And the 4m was mostly times when the bot whose job it is to auto plant for me, never planted anything. Took me 50 hours to realize they only auto plant if the entire field is empty. At that point, I had to redo my entire farm to only have small fields.
Which brings me to building the farm. It's so frustrating that I can't rotate buildings and even more so that some of them can't be deleted, or removed in any way. Have too many objects built? Good luck trying to optimize it later in the game. Probably would have to delete objects because there isn't space to move anything. So plan ahead for your entire run, or spend hours trying to fix it in any way. That's if the game allows you too anyways. Because having a chair at all will cause those that can move and build things, sit on the job. One of the houses that you can't delete comes with this said chair.
If you somehow overcame all of the micromanages that's required, you might have fun for about 10-15 hours before you "beat the game." It doesn't take long to unlock a new map to play on. So your opinions are to play on the new map to unlock more maps, or continue on your current one for another 10 hours, if that. You will eventually have to pick the other option anyways. Regardless on what you choose, this "idler" is has barely any content to see. That also probably why there is no meta progression. Playing on new maps will not go any faster, or easier than your previous.
The only reason for my hours spent are the achievements. As getting 1 million plants watered and 250,000 crops harvested took way too long. For my play through, I almost had 2 million before getting the harvests done.
Lessened learned I guess. Never trust a game is good, just because it has a collaboration with another game you like a lot.
