Maybe the game could have like MINIGAMES to EARN THE ENERGY because i dont REALLY want to wait a WHOLE DAY just for full energy and prob no one else does.
Energy Minigames?

My concern is that any
My concern is that any minigame that has the possibility of generating crowns or energy infinitely would break the game. Currently energy is required to generate crowns, heat and materials which means that the productivity of a player is limited strictly by how much energy they use (with CE being the only means to overcome this daily limit). A minigame that generates energy would allow infinite energy generation over the current daily limit.
A method of limiting this would be to allow the player to only play the minigame once per day, but conversely this means that optimal play will require you to play the minigame every day to generate some more energy. That would very quickly make SK obnoxious to play.
Minigames to sink crowns would not be a bad idea, kind of like how PvP cost crowns but not energy in Beta. It'd give players something to do with their time if they're out of energy but don't want to log out just yet.
Allowing players to gamble their energy and crowns against other players in games of skill would also be kind of awesome. That alone would double the playerbase.
I might be in for some kind of weekly game you can play to get a few more mist for that week or something, but if you had to play the minigame every day to be optimal it'd be pretty awful. The current 100+ mist energy per day is already more than enough to keep most players busy and leave them hungry enough to come back the next day.
