The whole economy is incredibly whack. Right near my village there's a spawn of vicents which drop like 70 meat each and you can sell haul for a 1000 coins or so. Mostly we've been selling excess cabbage. But now we need oats and rye for the animal feed and flax for clothing .. which we can't make because we don't have enough technology. So instead just go and kill some animals, sell meat and buy the clothing instead. Feels like, what's the point, you know??

Me and my friend have been plowing on and have a couple of villagers and some basic buildings now, but still it feels very.. micro-managery and arduous. We made a choice to ease our troubles by taking off the inventory weight limit and stamina, and toned some of the XP gains up and taxes & NPC consumption rates down. Because if not, we're gonna be playing the game until 2025 to get enough technology to unlock some of the better buildings! (it'll still take ages)
