There is an exploit where I can just insert a negative amount when giving jobs, so I can get a lot of unemployed people and negative amounts in certain jobs. This allows me to get a lot of resources. However,  this broke the game and the villagers stopped producing anything at all and just consumed resources only.  

edit: playing this game normally is quite fun, though it is weird that a single builder can build so many houses and that you can get to negative resources without dying immediately.

Cool game!! I did run into a few bugs which I'll list below, but I did enjoy the game. The visuals are nice and the colour coding is helpful. Even if it does need some ironing out, I still like it a lot!

Aforementioned bugs:

- My farmers got me 20 wood, and my gatherers got me 5. -25 wood in the summery? (Didn't build anything)
- Hunters recruited 25 people, 21 people in summary (nobody died)
- Assigned like 30 farmers but nothing farmer related shows up in the log (did previous days, but stopped now for some reason?)
- Initial village failed (was saved to slot 1), started new one also in slot 1 which was still empty, started on day 5 lol (but with normal resource numbers, so essentially no issue, just thought I'd mention it anyway)

And then this little saga:

Hit day 7, only says 23 people died cuz of nowhere to live (hehe), and food eaten/water drunk. Nothing else at all :0 (assigned everyone jobs o.o) Started next day by entering 1 even though it didn't say to continue- says population 60 but if I try to assign anyone it says 0 unemployed adults. Fast forward a few days and I'm at a nice steady -50 population (talk about a ghost town :P) and it seems like I can keep going indefinitely

But please don't take this to mean it was bad, I still enjoyed it and I look forward to seeing where you take it! :D

Editing to add: It is a little hard to get enough wood to reach any upgrades, that could be balanced maybe? Orrr maybe I haven't found the right distribution yet, who knows :P

Appreciate the feedback. These will be looked into but currently I have no guesses as to why these are happening 😅. I'll have to crack into the code and do some tests

this has been investigated and hopefully fixed. Just some positive numbers where there should have been negative :)
