Most of the time players will want the majority of the towns people to be working: be it collecting materials or building something. However for the sake of the towns happiness to attract new villagers it may be an idea to have activities idle villagers can do.
Be it the carpenter makes boomerangs or a cricket/baseball bat for the villagers to play with
This could give them time off from work and increase the towns happiness rating
Also some villagers may prefer reading or Other activities.
What do u guys think and what other things could villagers do instead of idling all the time
that would be fun, having the possibility to make books/scrolls and them making a library for them all to be stored in it would also be cool if they added a librarian.
I like the idea of the villagers with high spirit attending a church, monastery, evil death temple of some sort in their spare time. They can go sit at a little pew or read from the pulpit… etc.
A weaver could craft string which could be combined with a carpenters YoYo shell to create a Yoyo :D… come to think of it might be an easy first mod experiment for me to try out. (not promising anything hehe)
