He CAN do so, because he does all his chores for a fraction of energy I spend to make an exploratory shaft at lvl -3.

It's not even about efficiency. We work together in our areas. I need his trees and crops, he needs my metals and gems. He can do his part, refill energy and get a few stats up, while maintaining moderate hunger levels. I mine a few stockpiles of ore and I "lack energy for the hard labor" --> go eat --> overstuffed 24/7 If I want to keep the industrial part of our homestead running at pace with agricultural.

Yeah that part is also shit, but hey, when your hunger level is bloody dark red, satieties is not the primary concern. You basically just open a cupboard and eat until your energy gets green. Then back to the mine with ya.
