Is Joint Projects on Yugong working?

[FerdindNand]

Hi,
I've tried playing Yugong, because the Joint Projects trait seemed so interesting. Nevertheless, when ever I start a game with him, the only task that takes multiple pips is the Move Mountains task. Other tasks still take 2 or 3 turns and require only one pip. I was expecting this to work not only for Move Mountains, but all tasks, as written in the description.
Can someone tell me if it is intended that way and if its the same for them?

All the best, great game!

You might be confused by the terminology? "Tasks" doesn't include working in buildings; it only includes terrain-modifying commands like adding pavement, clearing a forest, or building a wooden platform. It seemed to work as advertised for me, though I think the only task I actually performed other than Move Mountains was planting a forest (which required 5 druids but completed in 1 turn).

I think all of the multi-day tasks (other than Move Mountains) require either memory unlocks or specific boons, so it's possible that you don't have any currently.

Thank you, that makes sense although I was hoping for a drastically different play style.
Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I was disappointed by this too. Maybe the balance would be off, but being able to build a 5-turn building in 1 turn using 5 pips would be a neat change to play-style.

Maybe make it cost 1 more pip? Build a X turn building in 1 day but using X+1 pips?
