How is Everyone Doing a Month Into Palworld?

Now that we're a month into Palworld, I was curious about where everyone is at and if you're still playing the game?

The lack of time has been rough for myself so I haven't been able to come anywhere near beating the game yet, but it has been an enjoyable experience when I do get a minute to play. I really feel the grind though. I've caught so many Pals and I've caught them each 10 times and I feel like I'm in a spot where the new Pals I need to catch are a bit out of reach with my current army since leveling them is taking a while.

I've got some solid automation setup though so I'm happy I no longer have to worry about creating Pal Spheres and I've got  what feels like infinite food and metal too. Some of the more later-stage resources I haven't setup dedicated stuff for yet, but I haven't needed ridiculous amounts of them which is good.

So, are you still playing? What are you hoping Palworld adds in their first big update?
