Can you post a screnshot as to what parts of the UI are too small

There is a UI scaling option as well you shoudl look at.

Sure. Also, I have the UI scaling option at 100% already - I had already mentioned that in my original post. It doesn't go any further.

Also notice that the options themselves are actually hard to read. The text "Interface size" is very hard to read for me. It's contrasts poorly and it needs to be bolder and much bigger.

Notice that this white, thin text below is very difficult to read. Not only is it tiny, it contrasts against the background very poorly:

This is an example where the contrast between text and background is better, but the font is still way too small, and there was a lot of room on the display to make it bigger:

Numbers in the main UI are very small and have poor contrast as well:

Why are these pop-ups so small as well? They can be 3-4x this size. Please look at all the space around the popup that you're not using. What's left over is way too tiny. Why does the player need to focus on everything else on the screen at the same time? Just make the pop-up the main focus here...

All the text on the empire screen is poorly contrasted, and is way too small. I can't read any of this comfortably:

These notices after I moved my unit onto a resource are also way too small... they could be much bigger, and centered on the screen. Again, if I'm trying to rid this notification, why do I need to see anyone else on the screen for? I can't read everything at once anyway. Lastly, the grey text color I outlined is also poorly contrasted against the background again as well:

Even the game menu is not taking advantage of the screen real estate well. There's so much wasted space here. You can use this space to make the buttons and text bigger:

The "exit to desktop" text is also too small. In fact, for this one you can even just remove all the paragraph text and keep the title. Don't make the player read obvious stuff like this - it's not good UI:

I really could go on and on with examples, but it's challenging to go further while squinting and not having the UI memorized or without knowing how to play the game yet.

Now, let's take a look at Genshin Impact - all the fonts are much more readable. Here are some examples at the same resolution:

Numbers are always nice and big. This is at 2560x1440

Dialog boxes are huge too:

I think Genshin is a great example of a game that has great fonts for people with poor vision. Notice the that they are not using sans-serif, which is actually more readable. The text is bolder as well, and it's just a lot bigger across the board. They implement a lot of scrollers for text if there's a lot there.

It's a shame these pasted images are not doing Genshin justice - the forum is not showing them all at their actual resolution :/ - you should download the game and you will see what I mean within minutes of playing it what I am talking about. I do not squint playing Genshin, and there are a lot of text and math-heavy screens. It should be a goal to add options to increase text size for all video games in 2021. Not everyone has 20/20 vision :/

Sadly, I put in for a refund request on steam, mostly because I don't think I will be able to play this game for dozens of hours squinting the entire time. If it turns out that this issue is fixed in the future, then I will repurchase it. It's really disappointing this game was not designed for someone like me who has 20/400 vision in one eye and I only have about 3% vision in the other - it's basically blind. If the font sizes were as big as genshin, I would have been able to play with my glasses, but as is it's just not comfortable to look at and play. My vision has just gotten worse and worse over the years and it's just really disappointing I can't increase the font size further to compensate.
