Coralium really is the 'fun-cutter' (a grind that kills motivation), player says

The poster recounts farming Coralium, which can't be mined — they tried fishing, catching Pals, and gathering salvage materials, then got frustrated and butchered Pals for it, only to find that way far too easy. After crafting a legendary gun with plenty of ammo, exploring afterward felt trivial since everything died in one hit, even on the long-dreamed-of sky island, leading them to say the game was most fun before getting Coralium.
