Something I didn't see anyone mention about nerfing/getting rid of hearth fire spawn etc is that it might lead to clusters of villages/cities not too late into the game, which might help with the trade issues everyone is talking about. Hermits aside, people will probably keep playing with small groups of friends, even if that means a long walk on the first day playing the game. If that group finds another (and it will, eventually) it is beneficial for both parties not to stay too far away from each other, since now the further away you are from someone else the harder to get trade going. Assuming that's true for a reasonable amount of players, you'd see more densely populated areas arising as we run later into the game. That might even attract players that usually go solo, I for one would probably join a city. On the other hand that might leave the rest of the map even more sparse than it currently is. Another "issue" (depending on your point of view) that might occur is constant fighting between neighboring villages/towns, which I don't think is bad at all. Anyhow it'll be an interesting experiment, I for one support it.

Searched topic for: crops (none found)

Having certain animals (wild and/or domesticated) eat certain crops(farming).
(Bananas and monkeys seems a nice match. :) )

Here's a list of ideas I previously made for curiosities:
(thought I might put it here for Hafen)

A lucky coin - chance when getting water out of a well
Ivy - foragable found on cliffs
Mosquito - like dragonflies but in thicket
Diamond - very rare to come out of any ore (maybe also for jewelry)
Fossil - when digging or plowing
Mould - foragable in thicket
Bat - flying around in caves (with short paths to make movement like a real bat)
Slug - grabbing onto you in a swamp in stead of a leech
Spin (toy) - made with wood and a silk filament (or thread)
Woodlouse - randomly obtained while farming any crops
Gingerbread - randomly obtained while making bread (can also be eaten for other FEP)
Squirrel nuts - When taking bark from a tree
Bird's nest - When chopping down trees
Lucid dream - Randomly obtained when harvesting beautiful dreams
Rat king (entangled rats, actualy exists) - Small chance when picking up a rat (awesome cuz we never do this)
Hope you have a great day

Taking soil samples inland to process with water in your base or nearest river to find lodes etc...
It would feel more real, and add a bit more depth to the game on that side.
It would also allow hermits to be able to gather a bit of precious metals without having to invest massive amounts of resources for a mine shaft...
It works for nearly every precious/semi precious mineral (they're all heavy)

Probably too late to implement this but I'd thought I'd share this idea with you :ugeek:
