I'm not going to stupidly put "2025" on it this time since we only had 6 responses to the 2024 thread.
I HAVE A COMPLAINT!
Sengoku Dynasty, which is a 1st or 3rd person (your choice) colony sim set in medieval Japan, expects me to build multiple colonies, but the citizens are too stupid for you to leave them alone. How am I supposed to build a second colony, which is my current mission, when my first colony's citizens can't get water out of a well or cook raw meat?
You see, to get water out of a well, you need a bucket, but to make a bucket, you need to make a chisel first. I've gone through the copper, tin and bronze stages and still haven't unlocked making a chisel. When I unlock it, I can assign someone to make them and another person to make buckets and another person to take the buckets, fill them with water and put them in the colony's storage. But until then, I have to go to the nearest village and sell everything in my inventory to afford to buy each day's chisel (they wear out before the day is over). I can't run 1500 meters across the mountains and start another colony that's going to be equally inept.
And food. While I can cook all sorts of things over the campfire, my colonists can't cook anything until I unlock the kitchen, which is the 2nd to last building you unlock.
Doesn't it seem like if the game is going to want you running all over the map that colonists taking care of their own basic needs of food and water should be the first thing you unlock?
It was sort of like this in Medieval Dynasty, but I didn't care because you only have one colony to worry about.
