I've actually run a test village for 16 days now, fixing lots of small bugs and making both server and client code ready for a first gameplay test.

One thing that I want to rework is how action selection goes. Actually playing the game a little bit showed me that I can improve the user interface a lot here. I had it so that you would select your action, and then a plot where to do it. But actually, when you select a plot first, in many cases the action follows automatically, or there is only a small selection of what you can do.

For example, if you select a plot with a ready field, harvesting is the only action available anyways. If you select a plot belonging to someone else, but bordering your land, taking it is the only option. If you select an empty plot of yourself or the common grounds, you can plant a field, build a fence or build a hut.

So I will re-work the interface so that you select a plot first. For gather actions, you will select the forest.
