New players aren't people with "half a brain"

This is exactly my point, new payers learn

Production efficiency doesnt concern new players in the slightest cause they arent producers, it just makes sharing harder

again, you're talking nice guy, im talking game balance. Even removing actual infinite wild foods make stew, pies and milk still pile.

After the first corn you can make 140 food per water when milking a cow. You wanna tell me that 4 bushes out of one water isnt too easy?

Easy isn't the issue. The issue is there are not enough ways to store the resources you create in each stage of production so you can't so a single job well for a life and build up that resource in many cases without making the town a mess. Not enough items stack.

So just another survival game?

I always count the pies and check the food supply and almost always it isn't stable at all. It's low enough that newer players will die and you need to keep them alive if you don't want a population crash. Yes, with enough experience food isn't a problem, you can forage, make a pie or two put it in your pack and be set for life and work on something else, but have you noticed that when you do that you look up from whatever you are working on to find everyone else is dead?

6.  Most importantly:  Booklat, what do you mean by infinite food?  I'm not saying that there are no food leaks in the game.... but you guys need to tell me about them so that I can fix them.

cause we have to have a property option, the gameplay is stuck without it

We don't.  Players do not live long enough to make this of any use, and there is nothing worth owning individually anyway.   The idea is full of imbalance and griefing potential.  The fact that Jason is using a game like Rust (which is nothing like ohol) as precedent for this tells you how this is going to fit in ohol.

From what I've seen, we can't trust our ancestors to build properly shaped berry patches.   I can't imagine property fences or property gates will be any better.     Enclosed spaces are already highly griefable death traps.   I don't see the upside.   How are we suppose to use these to improve the village?

The only thing fences will be good for are griefing and cheap Eve pens you remake later when you get the chance. Ever since he suggested the idea I could see the type of issues coming up a mile away. He's going to spend three days putting this in game and spend three weeks trying to perfect it but the idea basically can only exist as dead content or griefer material.

It is happening. I will quote myself

Well, hoping to avoid magic wherever possible.

Also, looking to design an imperfect system to increase the chances of interesting interactions around that system.  Fences and gates seem simple enough (mostly just ordinary objects) and messy enough that some interesting things will emerge from them.

Should we not build sheep pens because people have the ability to release sheep maliciously? It's just as easy to do, and can be just as annoying to fix depending on what they end up doing to the sheep pen.

Getting multiple rope in a town is just as easy finding the proper tool/set of tools to let the sheep out?  Also, with a large pen, it's not like they all the sheep will run out at once, especially if every tile in the pen has an adult sheep or has dung on it.  Also, if you have a full stable bell tower base pen with only bottom entrances (or just one bottom entrance) hidden by trees or maybe sugar cane, assuming that all crops can work as corner entrances, which I'm not entirely sure about, I'm sure the griefers would like to know the correct tool to destroy it.  Yeah... people will joke and tell me it's the shovel, because I'm Spoon and potatoes consist of a food source.  But I got something wrong in a previous sentence.  It might end up as a set of correct tools to destroy such a corner entrance, and the griefers have know way of knowing which tool it is in advance or how long they have to wait.

And of course, just getting the board doesn't fix the problem.  It has to get turned into flooring.

I disagree though, it is definitely griefing to turn a functional building into a burning mess because you're too lazy to make your own set of boards.

The thing with boards Spoon is that when you have big farms without spaces you make it harder on people picking berries for compost.

That's only for people picking bushes which aren't on the edges.  And I'm not sure that if a bush is just one bush in, that such ends up slower.  I mean if you stand on the edge bush and pick one in, I'm not sure if it's slower, or just a visual effect of you bobbing back and forth.
