Bigger maps?
Hello everyone!
I would like to know if it were possible to have bigger maps than just the 1x1 km we have nowadays. Is it going to happen by the devs or by modders?
I would love maps that are 10 times bigger so that you could expand your city and make it enormous. It's also that the more land you have the more agriculture you can have, but the more people you have, the more space you need... I'm feeling frustrated to keep going if it is to reach the limits pretty fast...
Any ideas?

No Immigration Round 2
So, the last No Immigration ground down to one family left. The change to make the gender of newborns more evenly spread will probably make round 2 work.
Year 32, population 57.
Again, making really strategic use of seasonal hiring. Producing shoes, clothes, and warm clothes. Not yet producing my own iron. I need about 5 more working age people to make it fit in well. But we do have dried fish!
Updates to come as we progress. Really interested to see if I have village growth.

Can you rate pls
Here's what I got going after a very long break from this game. Every now and then a house needs some financial help and I am currently burning -200 still haven't figured out how to stabilise that. Food is pretty good and getting more production chains started like heavy clothes, horse tack, bricks etc. Feels like I always need so many houses lol

Liberty vs. Authority
If there is one thing I love about games like Ostriv, other than not being some mindless shooter (and I like to shoot intelligently, don't get me wrong), is that they casually convey philosophy, for lack of a better term. Let me give you an example; playing games like Ostriv has taught me (at least) that having to organize things makes you way more willing to make "reactionary" decisions compared to you just wanting to live your life in peace as a regular "peasant" (this being a freely applied term). What are your thoughts.
Also: I love this game. Kudos to the devs. Especially considering they're not going through an easy time.
EDIT: Spelling.

p.s… Muscovite was a term for Russians back then.

New hay dryer update killed my megacity!
My 5000+ population city was being supported by its booming shoe, leather, & warm clothes export industry. I had hay dryers placed all around the city for easy access to the numerous cow sheds & sheep farms, but ever since the latest update my hay production has dropped in half and continues to drop. Now my economy is crashing and I can't afford to feed my population and they are moving out in droves.
With this update, as well as the last fishing location update, it seems like the game is making it impossible to sustain a high population anymore.

Perceived Imbalance
How do you even get enough population to perform all necessary tasks if it takes THAT long to build 1 (one) residential building? Something feels out of balance here.

Has anyone heard from Yevheniy?
It has been quite some time since I have gotten any response from him. Usually we get little bits about game progress here and there but it has to have been more than 6 months since I have heard anything from him. Has anyone else spoken to him?

Garden houses crop rotation
How often do the garden houses rotate their crops. 15 garden houses and all of a sudden, nobody is growing onions.

Hey friends, could someone explain to me what "Maximize bulls/rams livestock" means?
That's all, basically. I don't know what the checkbox on the cowshed or sheep farm that say "maximize bulls livestock" or "maximize rams livestock" are for. What happens when you have it checked? Thanks in advance for an answer.

I have 5000 chicken eggs but none are available to sell....
The chicken eggs do not show as available for export, but if I unclick "available only" I can add them... yet, no one will take the eggs to the trade dock etc.
