Theres still so many more details that I would like to see as far as interactions and activities that you and your people in the village can do.

This is really awesome though! I'm excited you guys are continuously listening to feedback. This is what keeps me coming back to your game! Thank you developers!!!! :-D

Nice! Im loving the game and would like to see more things added like a great hall for the steel age for example and an atomatic work area to tame some animals (its boring to go after young animals). Keep the good work guys, your game is awesome!

Mine and a number of other people seem to have issues where we can't tab out of the game, is this fixed?

You can work around this by pausing the game and stopping anyone from running.

im playing on hardcore. thx for the quick response though.

while i am it, theres a few QoL fixes u need to make esp for hardcore mode.. managing blizzards, managing animal needs like milk, adjusting resource limits to seasons and other stuff is quite tedious. considerably more so on hardcore i would say, since u tend to lose a few villagers to raiders eventually and u grow less fast, so the workload is tight.

i would humbly suggest:
- a button to shelter all for natural disasters
- a button to stop performing tasks related to a specific animal species (milking goats e.g. is just annoyingly tedious to stop when u need everyone on harvesting during fall)
- a "grouped" resource limit button (e.g. stop all metal production) to make season transition less of a clickfest
- some work on the sledge use AI (perhaps related to distance and weight, villagers keep shouldering logs and using transport for 2 grain instead)

anyways, thanks for this great game!

Great game and the first updates seem to be quite on point. A few more changes could be made however and I see the community being quite in right when it comes to the tedious parts of certain aspects. Which will increase the fluidity of this game. Sledge and cart AI is a little wonky and season transition is quite tough, considering the high workloads of some seasons it isn't all that beneficial to let your villagers do too much during the season the workload is lower. Because you really don't want too many villagers to get stuck in tasks that take too long for just 1 season to complete.


However this is already much appreciated making the animals feel more dangerous is a pretty important aspects. And handling your animal limit is quite tough. Extremely tedious before I knew about the animal limit since yesterday. And even then, it is still not really flawless. Even when I set a limit and the workload is low, villagers still don't slaughter the old animals to reach the limit.
