Improvement Suggestions

The tutorial is very buggy and too particular. I had to skip several because they just didn't work. It also needs to explain a lot more. I just started and didn't even know how to do the tutorial until other people told me. By that I mean, I didn't even know the tutorial was there as it never really announced itself and hid in the top left corner. it needs to make the player aware of it's presence. The tutorial also points to things but doesn't tell you how to select those things. Such as, it took me an entire day to figure out that you have to open a UI such as the backpack or the chat to use the icons that the tutorial points to in the bottom right. Also, in the farming tutorial it says to use the hoe on dirt, and it wouldn't take it. Turned out that I had to actually dig out the grass, place the dirt, and then use the hoe on the dirt. The tutorial then told me to plant at least 9 seeds. I did this several times, and it just didn't work at all. I had to skip the farming tutorial. The tutorial really just feels like it was rushed and makes it extremely unpleasant to learn how to play. I really hope that the tutorial can be redone and fixed, because a tutorial can really make or break a game, and it really did almost break it for me.

Option to match user's specialization instead of just being "craftable" Example: if a carpenter without logging skill selects "specialization" option in carpenter's table, carpenter will see only carpenter related receipts and general ones, no logger's.

Currently mining rewards XP (0.1) when you mine a block. This leads to a decent advantage in XP early on for people who settle in the desert because being capable to one hit break sandstone with a stone pickaxe. Every other rock multiplies the calories needed for that XP by the amount required to hit the rock. I'm suggesting making mining reward XP per swing like woodcutting does, this includes breaking the half slabs. This should make it feel much less bad to settle outside the desert.

It would be usefull for the Blacksmith as also the shop to see duability AND integrity in the icon Please add them //Jose

Street lights are on all the time, they should shut off at dawn and on at dusk or at least have an option for this. In another game I play, they allow you to place a "controller" that lets you set color of lights and if they are always on or dusk to dawn. Color is less important, but dusk to dawn would be nice.

Instead of working radius in my opinion power and electricity should be connected to machines by wire from some pole or something. It should suppress energy theft by neighbours :)

Make settlement culture based on several inputs instead of just based on player rep and painting culture. for example: towns 50 points total -- 10 points towards culture for the top x number of properties in the settlement and how much housing bonus they have combined. -- 10 points towards culture for average food bonus for active citizens -- 10 points towards culture for settlement foundation deed culture -- 10 points toward culture for highest or top 3 or what have you rep of citizens. -- 10 points toward culture based on the number of active stores in the settlement -- 10 points toward culture based on number of trees planted and living in the settlement influence -- 10 points toward culture based on the number of asphalt / stone roads in the settlement influence -- 10 points toward culture based on the number of streetsigns / stopsigns / streetlights etc just a few ideas to make culture not so linear.

When voting to ratify a constitution, non of my friends can vote unless I port forward our server. Even though they are playing on a game that is being hosted from my computer already. I feel like the game should not need to re-direct you to a website to engage in core mechanics of the game, it should be self contained.

The maintenance requirement on Wooden Elevators is currently too aggressive. Example: I have traveled a total distance of ~200 meters, and the "parts" have already degraded by 37%. At this rate, traveling from bedrock to max height twice would probably break a brand new elevator... Players are avoiding use of this vehicle because of the massive imbalance. This is the opposite of "fun".

The elevator is nice! When you only want from highest to lowest point. A wall mounted item, that stops the elevator would be nice. So yes, when you have 5 diff floors, you need to press the button a bit more often, but Im pretty sure, people would be totally fine with that, because the other option is to use the stop button and hope its not too high or too low A small and a large modern elevator would be the other option! Small one not for vehicles, just for players. And when you click the button (the only button), you get a small display and you can see for example: -1, 0 and up to 5. (The names of the wall mounted elevator level/stopper) and the elevator is going there without any more stops
