Put these NPC's to work!

These NPC's are just standing around. They need to get to work! Especially the farmer. She could be planting fields and harvesting. The hunter could be crafting linen and fabrics, or out...hunting. The carpenter could be chopping trees for the never ending supply of logs/twigs. Although with only one eye, he might chop his other hand off. The blacksmith could be mining, filling the kiln for charcoal, etc. Just a few ideas off the top of my head. Would be a nice addition for this "endgame" to have some assistance with the grindy tasks.

This is a good idea!

the only one i will agree with is the farmer because its obnoxious planting individual plants one at a time.

but nah let this game be this game, and keep palworld way over there.

maybe im in a minority but the npcs were actually a negative for me in general.. if they wana exist thats fine, but let them give me the crafting patterns once i get their tools, im not interesting in running between blank npcs making assorted exclamations constantly because i forgot to craft 1 extra set of nails. leme just craft from my workbench or something.

So, hey - why not simply a chest in which magically resources spawn over time, so that there is nothing left to do for you? Is the same effect; get everything and don't have to do anything for it, exactly what you described.
