How would you compare Ark Nova and Robinson Crusoe for solo play?

I have Ark Nova and love it. I’m not that good but still really enjoy it. I don’t enjoy the footprint it takes up and that it takes a couple of hours when all is said and done.

I’ve been thinking about getting Robinson Crusoe. I know it’s punishing, I’m ok with that. I like Agricola a lot which many refer to as “Misery Farm.” I’m more concerned about length of play, set up and how complex are the rules and difficulty to learn compared to Ark Nova.

Thanks for your insights!

I’m playing on BGA, I’m the green token. I have an upgraded animal action card, the matching partner zoo, plenty of money and an empty 2 space enclosure. My animal action card is in the 5th slot. I have 5 reputation. It won’t let me snap to play the capuchin monkey. What am I missing?
