Hey all, just completed the tower and I'm quite happy with the game. I'm not too fond of having my idle foxes and rabbits simply following me around everywhere, though. I'd like a function where I could set a worker to simply wander about the island. It would add to the adorability IMO.

Another cute thing would be to have the island look different during different times and seasons, ie. adding night, autumn leaves, snow, etc. Not for any mechanical difference, mind you, just to add to the atmosphere.

Combining the two, you could have the idle workers interacting with the environment, ie. building snowmen, jumping into leaf piles, etc.

Thanks for the consideration, whether you use it or not!

This is great. Added together, this is more or less wonderful. That is all I have to say, really. Haha.

That is a great idea! It won't be just like having your workers having a coma! 900 points for this idea.

Kudos to you for this suggestion, it is one of the better ones.

I like the idea of the seasons, I agree it would add to the atmosphere a lot and perhaps a couple more things could be implemented because of it as well.

I also like the idea for idle villagers. Especially when you have a balance of workers to resources then suddenly a few more workers fall out of the trees and you have no where to put them so you sell them on the black market as slaves (lol pirate pete) for meagre monies.
I think they should also get a break off work, and perhaps with idle ones they can have shifts, after a certain amount of time a worker switches with an idle worker for a 'break', because at the moment I think the populace are more like slaves to the bunni king than civilians XD
