Update: Rivers + Auto fill up up in progress?

Yeah, the primary issue is that currently, everything the engineer does can be accomplished by a footman for much cheaper. Herbalists and engineers are struggling from the same problem, which is that both their jobs are better accomplished by other classes.

Good point with the trapper. Maybe the engineer, rather than using his own traps, can make traps for the trapper to use? Otherwise the trapper will be useless and the shepherd will be far superior.

The way I see it, an advanced class should always be more valuable than its predecessor. However, the advanced class should not get rid of the need for the previous class, just do something similar but not identical, and be more useful in the process. If this is done right, players will have at least one hearthlings of each class. If instead players are promoting all their hearthlings to a higher class as soon as they get them (trapper-shepherd, herbalist-cleric, farmer-cook) then the game still needs to be balanced a bit more. Each class must bring something special to the table.
