2 quick fixes to increase playability

[martinuzz]

I just posted this in a thread in CuaH, but since it might escape the eye of the devs, and maybe other people, I'll post it here too.
I think the following 2 quickfixes would really increase playability, and get more people to play and stay:

- extend village authority management. Separate labour tasks from destruction. In other words, make vandalism authority only influence true acts of vandalism, and make a separate allowance option for things like lighting coal clamps.

- make rescources range from 10-20% in the wild, instead of 0-10%. This will allow new players to reach 'mid stage' or whatever you'd like to call it easier, without having to stare at 0.01 increases in compost purity per tree generation for 2 months. Better pots, better trees, better worms. It will shorten the grind to mid stage.

Doesn't do much and really doesn't need its own thread.

Foragables should be like they are in hnh along with animals. Your idea is just you wanting to do less work.

First fix isn't quick and second seems kinda... redundant. You can easily reach mid stage without any purity. Simply by cooking right types of food from right ingredients. Food from foraged ingredients is enough to easily reach 30-40 humours. Add to it some food from hunting and farming and reaching 100 shouldn't be a problem with some work, and 0 purity

It's not so much that reaching 100 biles isn't easy. That's not really what I meant by midgame.

I'm talking more about actually seeing meaningful progress in tree and crop purity. Right now, for new players who have no legacy humus whatsoever, there's too little feeling of progress. They're staring at 0% pure for too long.
At least, that's what I hear from (both old and new) players on my server, who are actually trying out how long it takes to raise purities without the use of legacy stuff.

I think that's more of a purity calculation issue than quality of stuff you find in the wild. The fact that gains are so small in the beginning and big change in numbers is needed to reach this first 1%.

And if we got 20% purity zones then we would be back to quality nodes like in HnH. 20% purity in Salem is almost like quality 80 in HnH. That's a HUGE difference and huge advantage to whoever manages to control such zone. Leave zoning to HnH.

Besides, noone forces new players to grind purity. All game aspects are available to them without the purity.
