About professions, they are already here Blue wool hat, wolf hat, aprons, red cross aprons, straw hats... The only problem is crafting them

I didn't want to talk about all consequences, as I wanted to keep first post clear. If daytime had warmer biome, it would be easier to stand still and stare at others work at day. During cold night in building there would be talking, like

Staying together at cold night in building has purpose. Communication and preparation logisitcs for the day.

How do you want to teach by showing, when as shephard you have to run all around and farm wheat, compost, make buckets, ropes, steel blades for shears and so on. Efficient players are a microcosmos for they own. They do not cooperate and do not schedule work for others to keep others organized. Not only because they refuse to communicate, but because they have to do everything on their own, as nobody listens to their requests and they are not in the city middle when others requests tham for something.

In my last life I've received a job: collect iron. There was already a cart horse ready, but no stanchion kit for mine I eventually find like 8 biomes from home. Every bucket was constantly full of water. I was communicating to others to leave one of 3 to empty it, but I got ignored. So it ended with me sheparding for dung, making compost for milkweed farm, making rope and finally getting this stupid rope. This simple task took me a lifetime, but I finally made 4 stockpiles of iron and even converted half of them to wrought iron. The city ended with 4 crucibles before my old age death. How easier would this game be, if somebody new how important for me is to acquire this stupid bucket and to make milkweed farm...Which eventually showed up in greater numbers, after I had to start them on my own...

This is great idea! I still believe Jason would introduce waterworld in future, with lakes, rivers and sees. However, such big sources of sweet water would make newcommen pump neglected. However, if such a newcomen would automatically irrigate a big amount of tilled rows without need to run with bowls and bucket, it would still be viable option

I've got a deja vu. There are historical eras on forum:
1. Many threads with people complaining about nothing to do in camps. Jason introduced stew and sauerkraut.
2. Many threads about monodiet. Jason introduced potatoes and corn, tacos and burritos.
3. Many threads about griefers destroying villages trough multiple spawns. Jason introduced many strange thing experimenting between his concepts and needs of society. This resulted with donkey town.
4. Many threads complaining about lack of antigrief mechanics, Jason introduced decay and medicine.
5. Many threads about lack of technological advancement, Jason introduced industrial era.

Now it seems, we are at era of complaining about lack of communication between noobs and veterans, as keeping village alive is too time-eating activity to leave time for teaching. This is currently not a game about parenthood! My most enjoyable experiences are when I was teaching others smithing and shepharding. I expect more threads to be posted about it and I've got a solution, which would also make buildings more usable.

Day/night cycle! Biomes at days would be warmer as they are currently, making it a time window for work. Nights, with much colder biomes, would enforce players to build shelters in which they may cook, eat and communicate. Simply, time for practising parenthood.

I will make a comprehensive suggestion about it. Please, consider it.

The main issue: Jason wants to keep jungle balanced, as this is a biome which should provide high profit (bananas) for high risk (mosquitoes). If we are applying counters to mosquitoes, we would also need few bananas or more threats. I would add jungle snakes and jaguars

Also, bug repellent is a solution for jungle town, but not for people exploring jungle alone. Alongside bug repeller there could be also a hat with mosquito net.

Fun fact: Malaria was a big problem all over the world, including North America and Europe. During American Civil War 1 316 000 people got sick and 10 000 died. In I World War it strikes 80% of soldiers from both sides in Macedonia fight zone. With invention of DDT, malaria was eradicated in USA and in Europe.

Communication, communication, communication!

So, there are two types of players: efficient and RPG. Efficient are sparing their time for settlement development and neglect teaching, as early settlement is constantly on the edge of survival. They finish game when face high tech city with plenty of resources and nothing to do. They continue playing only for game mastering (pein) or to check new updates (me). Other players cannot learn from them, as they are only working.

RPG players are griefers, newbies, religious members and so on. The most memorable example is Aurora.  They contribute a little or nothing to the settlement, why they contribute a much to the relations and drama. They are the masters of communication, but in terms of learning the game, they have few to say. Sadly, many of them believe the fairytale this is a game about civilization building and parenthood. At this point this is not true, because of lack of communication from efficients.

They get angry at each other, as efficient do not tolerate playing and tech experiments, as this is using out necessary resources. RPGs are getting lost and confused and often leave the game for others with better story tell.

The solution is communication, but how to enforce it? Introduce day/night cycle! Jason may make a night much colder, which will force players to build shelters, in which they need to stay to keep warm. Maybe even beds and tents, to make chit-chats during night with perfect temperature. To counter this shorter time window for work, days may be much warmer, so people are easier at keeping temp balance and working. This would put more time for communication, drama and teaching.

I will make a comprehensive suggestion about it. Please consider supporting it!

I love the car crash idea. It would make roads necessary, or you gonna get hurt on tree, rock and so on

I've just posted in on Reddit as suggestion

Buckets and cisterns are not containers. They have uses, just like shovel. People were dying in this game, because they were unable to water plants with bucket. It is grotesque and drama, but should not be possible. Using a bucket would just trigger a transition. But Jason would need to add transition to every object using bowl of water and pouch with water to make it work the same way.

A completely different thing is using cistern with bowl and bucket. Jason would need to apply below formulas, most possible changing the engine:
partial bucket with x uses + water cistern with y uses    ->    partial bucket with x+min(y, 10-x) uses    +    water cistern with y-min(y, 10-x) uses
empty bucket    +    water cistern with y uses    ->    partiall bucket with min(y, 10) uses    +    water cistern with y-min(y, 10) uses
full bucket    +    cistern with y uses    ->    empty bucket    +    cistern with x+min(y+10, 100) uses
full bucket    +    empty cistern    ->    empty bucket    +    cistern with 10 uses
bowl with water    +    cistern with y    ->    mepty bowl    +    cistern with y+1 uses
bowl with water    +    empty cistern    ->    empty bowl    +    cistern with 1 uses

And also immediate transitions below
partial bucket with 10 uses    ->    Full bucket of water
bucket with 0 of uses    ->    empty bucket of water
cistern with 100 uses    ->    full cistern
cistern with 0 uses    ->    empty cistern

This engine change would make cisterns much more valuable, are they would be possible to use even without buckets.

Reddit suggestion

I would spread this idea for fun purpose Basing input information
1. It is possible to catch wild canadian goose alive bare handed IRL.
2. There is now a probability mechanism we can apply to hunt goose and other animals.
3. We could put use for catching net.

So, possible actions would be:
1. click on Canada Goose Pond
    -> 10% of catched and hold canada goose, just like with domestic goose
    -> 90% of Canada Goose Pond - swimming
No feather obtainable this way
2. Releasing a goose, both wild and domestic, would make a feather left in hand.
3. Both wild and domestic goose should be possible to be killed on stomp.
4. Released canada goose would change to flying canada goose, eventually disappearing from the server.
5. The same flying animation would make possible to arrive a new wild goose from nowhere to pond with ideal water level with a rare chance.
6. Both types of killed gooses should give you a feather during preparing their dead bodies

7. Shooting a canada goose pond with with arrow gives below outputs with chances
    -> 30% of killed goose with arrow, obtainable with no issue
    -> 30% of killed goose with arrow, floating on water. Obtaining it would make you wet and decrease temperature level for some time like minus isolation. Removable at any campfire
    -> 30% of Canada Goose - swimming with no arrow, because it sank
    -> 10% of Canada Goose - swimming with arrow outside the pond, to pick it up
8. Using a catching net on Canada Goose Pond
    -> 90% chance to catch it alive
    -> 10% of Canada Goose Pond - swimming and empty catching net in hand

This catching net may also have more uses inf future:
1. Remove possibility of loosing worm during fishing. Other outputs, escpecially catched fish, should receive more chances
2. Use on other person to make him immobilized (also the catcher). Then lasso with third person and you got tied player, ready for interrogation

The problem with all the cities being big berry farm is the issue of usability of Bowl of Mashed Berries and Carrot and Bowl of Mashed Goosbeerries and Carrot. We are giving it to compost, to sheep and it is the best baby food, as it produce large amount of small hunger-filling berries, so babies are not wasting pies and tacos on their small bellies. I think, this is not a good thread to discuss it.
