Isn't activating recharge cards too OP

Thoughts on activating recharge cards.
We all know wayfinder is the most OP card in the game, literally game changing and player dont need to do anything and just sits there and active recharge everyturn after we have near full resources.
Should we have a mode that the activate recharge with a web (extra land during game) be banned (special mode)?
Like tzolkin, there is a mode where players are limited to 20 resource max.

So I'm not the only one that feel that wayfinder turn 1 is instant win...

but I'm not sure what would be the best fix,

Removing the recharge land may be a solution but would cut a nice tool though.

Could a tweak on the card be made? For exemple limiting the VP gain?
Most cards have VP gain limit (max 5 or max 10)
Wayfinder could be limited to max 2/3 for exemple...

Yeah, or we could have a setting where we could ban cards like it is done in wingspan

Wayfinder feels like the only OP card. Banning it seems like the best solution.
I'm surprised it survived playtesting.

IMO, with "recharge lands", Wayfinder is not the only OP card. Mentimidae and Doground can be OP as well.
The core problem is that nets + recharge lands create a loop that lets a player reach a score of 50 easily. And that destroys the diversity of strategies in the game.

Played a few games where the recharge land didn't appear and those games felt more balanced and fun.
I'd play with them off if it was an option.

After more than 50 games of WC played online and off, I think that the recharge habitat tile is the one unbalanced part of the game, and the most unfun. It’s not Wayfinder, or Doground, or Mentimidae — all of these are powerful but tolerable in a game where you can’t just park on the recharge space and hit it with a net three or four turns in a row. I would prefer to play with these tiles replaced with a mushroom and a flower tile whose special was “gain 1 of any resource” — a real power downgrade, but more in line with what I think the Discover mechanic is supposed to be: a way of expanding the map to be more favorable to you, rather than hoping to hit the jackpot.
