firstly
since walls don't have any use for any workplace other than to add some weird aesthetics (who has time for that while you're starving cause you have only your butt covered with a loin cloth)
so atm, a perfect bakery is without walls
secondly
the wooden floor is necessary to indicate where the bakery is, same as wooden floor indicates where a berry farm ends & that it shouldn't just grow infinitely

if kept to a minimum then the perfect extent is probably about 7x7

in the schematics below
X indicates wooden floor
the oven is placed not in the middle & not at the upper line but 2 tiles down ( O )
B are boxes for the stuff one might use & eventually already baked pies, 2 + 2 boxes at the upper line & same at the lower line
k indicates a place for one pile of kindling, kindling can be placed also in the 3 free spaces near the boxes
under the oven enough space for several wanna be bakers to spread out & do their uncoordinated stuff
usually there is no real need for an own bakery fire since often there is nursery nearby or a forge or a main fire

if you want to have an own bakery fire ( F ) included then the schematics could be extended to 9x8
giving more space for potential boxes as well
F is a good place to set up an own bakery fire

i am making suggestions along how this game is actually being played, what the actual, real interactions are in game, by how players interact in game & which is not really changeable
wishing for more disciplined & orderly players, who behave reasonably is delusional

the pie town i was born to yesterday was horrible
don't care what they have, i just care what they don't have & that's a well designed town along functionality
cause form follows function

i ended up bordering the farms with wood, to add at least some structure

so ok, i posted now my related suggestion on reddit & expanded it with an option related to family extinction
titled : LACK OF CARE has to be punished

you can't have it both ways,
not have things you made being your property & not have it stolen by anybody ruthless

what we have now is the result of the first, things get stolen, no matter who made it,
it was always that way but with the fences, it becomes paralyzing to the work needed to be done

- - -

i think, we'd need to have property per object as well
& not claimed but made if it comes to crafted objects

every person picking up a nature object for the first time becomes its owner
every person making a tool becomes its owner
it means the game knows who is crafting an object & as long that person is not declining the ownership, it stays until death

every such property can be generally declined, making it available to everybody else
with the death of the owner his property becomes available to everybody else
but the owner can hand down an object to someone else (as its happening already with knives, backpacks, clothing)
fenced property would compliment that by giving access to the things only to handful of people

if we don't have that in game, theft will continue & discourage players to craft things
theft is always demoralising

why do you think i insist on making main roads, center of town, main crossroads ?

so that everybody can have some main orientation in game

cause so far stuff is being built anywhere
most placements are dysfunctional
still the same : berry bush cancer growing out of hand, fast roads between buildings, fast roads leading straight to doors, kiln & oven with no space above,
forge with not enough space to ... forge, newcomen engines built somewhere, same as with the new loom, both not moveable afaik
what is the result of the dysfuncitonality ? people wander aimlessly between areas, which are not clear what their function is

yeah, it will be quite a chaos, that's for sure
it will have growing pains
just take it easy & try to make the best out of it, cause we have to have a property option, the gameplay is stuck without it

can the Shaky Property Gate be set back only with a hatchet & not with an axe ?

@st2019
fence has no owners, only gate has
you & anybody else have 20 minutes to get out of the shaky property enclosure or set it back to twigs

@pein
we have to have property in game, there is no way around it, trading & wars won't be possible without it

it will be painful & full of new griefing options, so the functionality will have to be improved over time
but atm nobody can predict how the things will work out in gameplay or which problems will be bearable & which not,
we have to test it in game, over time

that's neat !
so you can transport two at once with bare hands already

is this the gateway to baskets balanced on head ? <3

HEMP is the answer

i am not sure i should suggest one main change
i think the gameplay is atm pretty balanced

even if i would wish for the game to be more historically correct, like stone age tools
or awbz mod replaced by regular features like craftable map & craftable zoom
i think, that forced exclusive one feature, one change only is not really my thing

Jason improves the game constantly, that's the best thing that can happen to a game
OHOL will grow & it will become a better & better game, i am pretty sure of it, only Jason has to stay on track, as he does so far

make a tool shed, this reduces clutter already
make a center
make main roads leading out of town in a straight line
make organized workplaces
educate players about benefits of returning broken steel tools to forge

- - -

yeah,
noobs, idiots, egoists, mindless & griefers
they all exist in this game
meantime i see it all as a special flavour of OHOL
i just move on & hope for a better next life
