Yeah it's definitely more punishing as a hermit/small group. I'm trying for UA, but we're only three (so I'm covering 2 other skills as well). So at the moment I have to check the mines every 30 minutes hoping for a clear run to my mining locations. But lacking metal also deprives me of increased development speed meaning I can't use it to get to the point where I can handle bats more easily either.
