Completing all of these quests on the normal difficulty, assuming that you aren’t forced to replay sections due to dying or any other reasons, will take around 7-9 hours.

This hurts to read

I’m not even a parent and I don’t want this. It’s just an unnecessary mechanic to punish casual players for no reason at all. It doesn’t add anything to the game.

What is the best practice currently?

Yes, I don’t like mechanics that happen while the game is turned off. It’s unnecessary. I keep reading from players who are defending this mechanic that it’s so easy to get several days or almost a month of water supply in just a few hours of gameplay. But if it’s so easy to get the water why not just remove the mechanic? They wouldn’t even notice and everyone else wouldn’t have to play with this FOMO mechanic.
