Chinese here,think your idea interesting but still have something to improve.
First I have a question...I can not find any clue about how to obtain seeds,expect wheat.I think the abundant crop should be the highlight of the mod,but I can't find them,that's a bit annoying.maybe add some clues about the crops?(or just post it,lol)
Then my friend have an advice for the mod.thoriummod has the cook NPC and a lot of different kind of food to place and we love it soooo much.It add so much to house-building!It would be fantastic if your mod can have some placeable food.Though we know it would be a heave load to the drawing things...so just an advice
And another suggestion is to add hunger to NPCs.Players need to put the food into specific chest,and the amount of food will decrease according to the time and the number of NPCs.Lack of food will make them leave the town.The better food you give to them,the faster tax collecting speed will be.Treating NPCs well also decrease their price of goods.I think the setting will make the food collecting more important,giving players more reasons to farm.I only had 3 wheat seeds at first,but after about a week(in game) I got 106 of them,and that's way too much than I need.Having a chest filled with bread makes me stop farming.And that's bad because that's one key element of the mod, right?
Your ideas are turlly creative,and really worthy to be imporved .We appreciate your works and expect the mod to be better!Thank you for sharing it with us,加油咯
BTW a statue can create food for few days in two minutes,will that be balanced in the next update?
