Palia
Ideas
Firstly, I only just got Palia a week or so ago after a friend recommended it to me. I love it, I think it's a nice RPG game, however, there are some things I personally am not too fond of with the game.

Build Time: I'm personally not too fond of the build time, and while I understand it's somewhat realistic, I just want to place a room I bought down so that I can start decorating it immediately, as I, as a crafter just wanna make a nice looking home for my character, and waiting 6+ IRL hours is taxing in my opinion. I don't mind waiting IRL time, but waiting such long periods can be annoying. Buying additional rooms are expensive by default - especially for new players, so finally getting enough money to buy it only to be slapped in the face with an IRL timer just irritates me a bit.

Money: Things in Palia can get very expensive, very quickly. I've tried multiple methods of making money either through guides or YouTube videos, but everything seems to draw out even more time no matter how fast said methods claim to be. I think it'd be nice if at least EARNING money was a bit easier. Perhaps add a 'job bulletin board' so players could have something to do to earn money that doesn't revolve around them fishing for hours, or watching crops grow for an eternity. The prices of many items seem outrageous to me. Zeki's final backpack upgrade is 25,000 Gold. I can barely ever get close to 4,000 gold if I'm lucky. I was surprised when I managed to get 5,000 for the second bag! I'd suggest either lowering prices a little bit, or at least make earning money in general easier for the players.

Furniture: I like decorating in Palia. It's a nice thing to make a space my own in game. However, I'd love to see more furniture or sets/in general. I fell in love with the Capital Chic Furniture set, was wanting to make my entire home with the set alone, but I unlocked all items for that set and was a bit sad I didn't see things like: a clock, rugs, counter tops, wall cabinates (I know there is a wall shelf and such, but I was hoping there's be a different type that I could put decor in), a new stove, oven, make/prep tables that fit the furniture set aesthetic so my home could match the home theme. I know I sound picky, but having a dark themed house with light brown/white kitchen stations takes away from the design aesthetic I had in mind.

Skills: Maybe it's just because I'm still a new player in Palia, but leveling skills takes ages. Even my friends who have been playing Palia for months say it's taxing when coming to level skills. I've only ever used my Renown to level my focus as a friend said it's make leveling easier, but I've noticed very little difference. Take my gardening as example: I HAVE to get it to level 10 so that I can unlock the ability to purchase fruit type seeds as I have been stuck with a quest a while now to make Petite Fives, and it requires Any type of fruit to make it. I can't request it from players as I've yet to unlock it. Now I love gardening, as it is my main way of earning a bit of money, but it is taking ages to level. My focus bar is full, but when I harvest my crops it looks like my skill bar isn't even moving! Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I honestly don't know, but leveling in general is taxing, and makes me not wanna do it as I know it's gonna take forever.

Palium: That ore is hard enough to find as is, and I think it's a bit irritating that the ore isn't available for everyone to mine. Let me elaborate: When we lets say mine copper, one player can mine it, and once they broke it, it's show a clear silhouette (Meaning that while we mined it already, it's still able to be mined by other players.) We can't do that with Palium, and it makes it seem like a race against other players who also need Palium. I simply wonder why it can't be the same as any other ore given it's difficult to find as is.

Flow-Infused Trees: These trees annoy me a bit. We can only mine it with an Fine Axe or higher. Any other Axe is from what I've seen: impossible. I hate how it has a regenerating health bar. Those trees are also pretty rare at least from what I've seen). I'd love if they took the health bar away on those as some trees can't even be mined unless you have a partner with you, which if you're like me (and have no friends) can be frustrating.

That's my little rant, sorry if I sound too picky and such, but they are just my honest opinions. If you have any ideas or comments about the game as well, please comment below, and hopefully the DEVS will see it and hopefully consider some of our ideas.

Money: Starting off go to Bahari bay and hunt Sernuk en masse, use some of the meat in the worm farm to make the quality up fertilizer, sell the rest of the meat. process the hides into leather and sell those.

Zeki and Naio's level 3 friendship quests give apple tree seeds as a reward.

grow those as soon as possible, making sure to use the quality up fertilizer on them so you start producing starred apples. use the starred apples in the seed collector to make starred apple tree seeds. Unlock the preserves work station and build at least two as soon as possible. Keep those constantly stocked with starred apples to make starred apple jam with, then sell it. That'll get you thousands of dollars every day easily on it's own.

Palium: it's on a timer after the first collect, like dari cloves and some other items. If you're not finding that much of it then mine the hell out of every other node you find, it'll increase the chances of more palium spawning.

Flow-infused trees: Every night at midnight in-game time there's a flow tree grove that spawns a group of trees. be on the Bahari map server by 11:45 and once people find where the grove randomly spawned they'll call out it's location in chat. Hit each tree once, then wait for the rest of the players to get there. once everyone coming is there everyone will shop the trees and all players that got at least that single hit in will get the same amount of flow wood. smaller flow trees can be chopped by a solo player but the larger ones require teamwork. If you find a larger on just call out it's location in chat and people will come to help you.

Its actually not bad. Had i known farming was basically it id have spent every dime on plots asap. This like most games now the start is way tougher than midgame and up. For the house build time, once you have cash start buying sections and build them off ahead of time then put them back into inventory so when you are ready to design and add on they just drop in place.
i also added 5 pickling barrels, no real work and the pickled veggies are worth about 30 percent more. star corn is 60, turns to 90.

As far as palium, after the grove is cut start looking at mostly the ledge areas in the morning. some runs ive come back with 30 or more. sometimes not much but rarely do i not find 15 or 20 heading around back to home.

You're kind of screaming into the void... the developers never read these forums to begin with, and now they also just laid off their entire community management team so there's quite literally no one to bridge that gap anymore.
