I understand there is a new method of interacting with containers.

I wonder why this was changed?

I can think of a few reasons, but not that were not able to be worked around. I recall having some issues mining an upgraded mine with pickaxes where right clicking on the mine can cause you to drop your pickax instead of perform a mining action. I'm not even sure this behavior is modified by the code update.

Downsides to this change are I find myself fumbling much more often than a priori. I guess that means I pickup much more often than when I intended to swap the item in my hand.
The only real concrete thing I care about being impossible is swapping pottery items in baskets around a kiln for firing the clay. You now must specifically reposition to above the kiln when swapping from the baskets in the NorthWest and NorthEast positions. The repositiioning was not required when you could swap with a container behind your head more easily.

I share your enjoyment of Eve camps. Eve camps are more difficult which I enjoy. Another way the game could work is weekly wipes. I think an important part of the game is progression.

But, I also spend most of my time now starting up my client, seeing if I log into Donkeytown, and if so, shutting down my client and trying again later. It seems to correspond to peak times in North America. I've considered a client mod to alert me if I get a non-donkeytown spawn.

This is change I look forward to. I think endgame gets very stale after a while. Tuning this could force an end condition, where people are starving. It will encourage clothing and valid building making to survive. Skillful yumming will be rewarded. Basically it could make endgame food management be as difficult as an Eve town. For some reason fun for me is higher when there is a threat of death. Even death by murder in previous modes of this game was fun.

And tuning it could determine what kind of end game we get to. Whether radios and other frivolous pursuits occur, or for how long.

On what basis? That I enjoyed this game previously? That I described gameplay I found interesting in multiple forum posts? Are we on topic here?

You may have stressed some rules of forum etiquette. I don't have the time or interest to see which posts you pulled to figure out what a common theme among them is... Oh, looks like murder, nosaj stories, etc. It's in the game.

People curse when you tell them they're screwing up. People can't seem to take criticism and I think it's a stupid person problem. Basically in the culture I know, the leftist progressive movement has been training people to become instantly offended 'and that's not ok'. Any view contrary to your own is wrong and cannot be tolerated. The problem is leftist views appeal to your quick instinct or emotions, rather than deliberate contemplation and thought.  A lazy mind is swayed more easily by the left. A conversation with a leftist is like this: "The amendment says purple trees are allowed." "Yea but who really needs purple trees anyway and their leaves are slippery so we should eliminate the right to have purple trees them for public safety."

At worst my behavior is antagonistic but people are using the curse when they're insulted. People with more playtime are more likely to become affected by the curse system.  Seems like my Chinaman social score is too low and I'm being ostracized to the sub-culture town.

Yesterday, there were at least five people alive in donkeytown. We used to have children there, but not anymore. I may to quit playing over this. I had one good Eve-ish start today and then I'm in donkeytown.

Appears to be a buff for murdering and non-murdering griefers. Trying to convince two people a griefer exists and training them to aid you, then expecting to be able to catch a griefer on horseback in twelve seconds seems optimistic. Finding two people to murder grief with is logically easier because if they say yes, then they likely already know the mechanics of murder.

And less murder overall means less griefers are stopped. Murder is the only means to stop a griefer.

I don't think lighting a straight shaft on a kiln should learn the firing kiln skill.

The current design of the game is not nearly as conducive to learning as it once was. Two things are a major problem, one compounding the other. First, the tool update limits anyone in their experimentation. For example, learning newcomen technology is much more difficult than before. After you have used the basic smith tools you don't have many slots left. Especially if you end up trying to use hot coals, bake something, make kindling, use a smith hammer, etc. When I'm trying to make an engine, I may be able to use one or at most two newcomen attachments. In a new town prior to the tool update, I'd normally use five attachments the first time we're making newcomen: hammer, roller, bore, lathe, and drill. That's a lot of tool slots alone. It's now possible to do only part of an engine unless you have able help. Where it used to be asking others to make valves to save on buckets of water, it's now asking others for their tool slot while you are hands off.

Finally, the new class-based biome restrictions limit learning. Before I could hunt down all the components for rubber, cook them up, and install a seal. If I wanted to make french fries or chips I'd go to the jungle to obtain palm kernels, plant the potato, shovel up the potato, use a knife, use hot coals, etc etc. Now if you're lucky you're in a town with kernels sitting around and you can use all of your tool slots making french fries. If you're not lucky, you probably can't learn to make french fries.

It works the same way with radio components. Unless you're the desert class, it's very difficult to gather parts for a radio. And making something you need four of like zinc rods requires many of your tools, leaving you unable to do much else.

In many cases you may start a project with plenty of say, kindling. Then you work and use up all your tool slots. You find that you now need more kindling but it's all used and you have no slots for an axe or hatchet. If you can't find anyone to convince to help, it can be frustrating.

I'm not expressing an opinion of overall positive or negative about these mechanics. But without any doubt it makes learning and teaching by example hard.

Had a terrible murder griefer kill two people who happened to be everyone in the town. I did survive and had a family of girls.

Go down to a courthouse and watch family, divorce, or protection order courts. We execute innocent people in what country I assume most of you are from. We hand out protection orders like candy. It's rife with abuse. If you believe an innocent man has a chance in any of those courts you are completely wrong. As a result bad women are ruining the reputations of good men for their own gains.

Sir, you have not committed a crime so we won't prosecute you. We can't afford that sort of due process. But, here, you have a summons for the same offense to a courtroom where the prosecutor is your accuser and the judge wants to keep his job. Also, the courtroom doesn't have jurisdiction, the judge thinks due process was at an ex parte hearing, and they will apply the law incorrectly.

Government is taking inches of our freedom forever.

I think the idea would be good for hard mode playing and promoting yumming. If I have fifteen yum and can only eat while starving, jason's change doesn't make much difference: I can't stack high plus food numbers.

But what if Jason's idea is changed a bit that makes sense. You can only eat while starving unless it's a yum food. Nobody likes to eat the same food, but you can sometimes stuff yourself if you're eating a bit of different things. People will be forced to yum. They can't force feed the same food to people to waste it very easily, unless they're starving which will make full use of the food anyway.

I think Jason's change would solve the overeaters problems but could make eve life very difficult.

Like real life you are limited in the skills you obtain. In fact, you are limited to those skills society deems useful. Some people can be happy in this environment and other's can't.
