Holy hell guys, it's so gloomy and dark. I see so much pain in your perception on this project stagnation.
It had to be funny, some early world markers showing you're not in rat race anymore, let me give some more

It is already dead world when you see fallow crop on someone's base for longer than few hours of spring.
It is already dead world when you have stockpile of leather on your base untouched.
It is already dead world when you have finally set your pepper production.

And some AI takes:
It’s already a dead world when you walk past a clay pit and no one’s fighting over it.
It’s already a dead world when you finally built your brick wall — and realized there’s no one left to raid you.
It’s already a dead world when the only thing moving in your settlement is the wind.
It’s already a dead world when your cupboard of sausages is full and untouched.
