im on a console browser eventually i deleted the save and it fixed. As for my 3 points.
1. Its hard to imagine a true sense of scale. If you put a bunch of buildings near each other thats a village. A bunch of blocks with trees is a forest. If you made a village who talked about a spooky building in the woods five trees away from the village is just steve how many trees asay from any other building do you feel it takes before steve turns into a hermit.
2. Put down a block and a fishing cabim then put 20 blocks of water on any side. How does the owner socialize? I figure there could be a dock or somethinto imply he rows into town.
3. The Butcher , the faker, the candle stick maker. The innkeeper, the hunter. You could make dozens of new buildings or literally just add a double of the lumberjack/fishing/farming building rename it home give it no boosts and let players make actual villages. Some might want you to design a whole new building but given the notes imply youre done i'd take the easiest option for you that still adds non desert houses. If you did design something new any structure on water, dock, bridge, boat, etc
