What features in survival games do you really love, and which do you really hate?

Is there a meta you really get annoyed by that every game seems to copy? What is something unique or cool in a game that really added something great?

I'll start. For me, the most annoying thing is the grindyness at times. First it's mine 2, then 10, then 30, then 50. It seems the only way survival games can make things harder at times is to increase resource cost.
