Currently, a ceiling and a foundation cost the same amount of mats. A massive gateway is almost the same cost as a small one. Its early access, it will be balanced. I'm sure they'll keep the 2x but the costs of items is going to skyrocket. It will even out, relax. I got 3k hours in Ark and Im sure 80% of that was smashing trees and rocks. 2x is a good thing unless you truly want to play this game and this game only during all your free time.
