At least getting the chemoreceptor is optional.

Almost all of our negative feedback (on Steam and elsewhere) is how slow the game is and how hard it is to find compounds to stay alive and progress. So that’s why the chemoreceptor organelle was added. And the feedback regarding it has been almost all positive that it makes the game a lot more playable. Hardcore players can choose to ignore the chemoreceptor organelle by just not adding it.
