There needs to be a way to claim limited amounts of land outside of your settlement for things like farms and mines. This is true in real life and should be possible in the game. Nobody wants to make a farm outside of town now because anyone can just come and pick or destroy all their crops!

So. If you set up a production line and have dedicated storages for it, you want those tables to link to those corrrectly like you have set them up initaly. If I now place just one more stockpile near those tables, they all link to it automatically and I have to go through all those tables again and set up the storages again. Thats really annoying. There should be something like "lock configuation" slider on tables, that tells a table to ignore newly placed storages or something.

The new repair bounties tab does not work well. By default I would like to filter out a bunch of junk from it like 0 gold offers or only list bounties that I can actually do with my profession. Everytime I open it up I need to do massive scrolling and sort by price. There could be better defaults and save my choices not having to do the multi step process every time.

Currently in Eco, mining remains largely unchanged until skid steers, which is unrealistic from a historical perspective and also makes the midgame a slog. I'm proposing adding dynamite to the game. Early form could be a black powder explosive, derived from compost (nitrogen) and coal. Dynamite could be a more powerful/advanced version made with paper liner + clay filler, possibly with support for shaped charges (for blasting rectangular regions). Explosives would be particular advantageous for mining harder rock variants. Open questions: Balancing the reduction in calories since using dynamite is considerably less labor-intensive than pickaxes. In real life, some work is required to drill into the rock and place dynamite, but to make dynamite useful it should still be faster and more convenient than using pickaxes. The effects of reduced pickaxe usage on the smithing economy. Interaction with Lucky Strike perk. Should there be other accessories like blasting caps, plungers? Skid steer should also probably be modified (e.g. not break hard rock) or changed to a different mining vehicle for realism and balance, but some people find this idea unpopular so leaving that for a separate suggestion.

Players should be able to leave the citizenship of a town or country freely, without needing to access the Foundation. Being part of a town or country can sometimes hinder a player’s progress. For example, if a player replaces their homestead with a town stake and wants to create a new deed outside the town or country’s influence, they cannot do so while holding citizenship. Currently, players need to return to the Foundation to renounce their citizenship. However, access to the Foundation can sometimes be locked, restricted, or placed behind a locked door, preventing players from progressing until the mayor unlocks access.

Imagine opening a shop, posting some items to sell and buy, but something distracted you... you come back and finish up. Next time you log in you realize you forgot to set one of the item's price! By default you've paid $1 for each item and in a lot of cases that's bad for you (at least on server I play on). I'm suggesting that the shops default to a null-ish price that disables trading till the shop owner(s) set it. Maybe that item can be set to "Coming soon" in red text like it is when it's sold out.

So we already have the ability to rent out workbenches to players, but what if you could rent out a vehicle to a player! It could be billed based on perhaps fuel usage + time?

There should be an item for repairing tools, and clothing if it will degrade in the future. It is quite bothersome to travel to another island to get tools repaired when in high specialization.
