think fast: redesign the game so that this isn't the optimal mode of play, and whatever philosophy you espouse becomes optimal instead (presumably sort of imagined, mythical "harmony with nature" native american vision? as if they didn't optimize their shit to the best of their abilities at the time?)
even the coziest games like animal crossing can be optimized this way, grind more get more, visit others so you can grow at least one of every tree so you can harvest every kind of fruit...shake them daily to earn money to pay off your loan faster...
genuinely, what would be the alternative? a game where you get more for doing less? so optimal play is to interact with nothing so earth's bounty falls in your lap every day?
