One thing I heartily dislike is that the "find stuff" parts are not logical. Like, finding a "wrench grip". There's no garage, workshop, what have you in this game. So where is it? I don't know, but I'll have to go through location after location systematically until I may or may not find it. Just bad design. When you need something or other, it should be possible to have some kind of clue.
Edit: Oh, how logical, it was
That was the first place I thought of looking, it was so obvious. Next I guess I'll need some ice cream. I'm sure that will be found growing in someone's flower bed in the sun.
