I play from the time we all ate only carrots and...I find communicating information unpractical, timely, too limited

character limit progression is too slow.
(at least give me a bonus if I have Good Genes)

Communication is useful in crisis but that's when you don't have the time to do it!

Teaching others requires you to be Old enough to have big character limit but also requires the city to be prosperous cause you will both not work and just eat from food reserves.

To share map info you first have to explore Map, then write it on paper that needs 72 steps and can't contain much! ( why can't craft a map? or an editable paper cause all I find are used for chit-chat.)

Lack of city blueprints! Building roads, walls, the whole city design needs coordination. One man cant build it right away but could craft the blueprint for others.

Finally... why no Numbers, and only words?

Cooperation not only needs time to communicate but also requires time to search for a Willing and Able person.
Vision range is limited but via sound, you could call for someone to come to you from further away while you keep doing your job without to have to risk your production time roaming for help.
Having a scream with a long cooldown to call when lost in the wild or need help doing a task (smithing) or anything that you don't know or can't do it alone.
Bonus if wounded: scream help manually and auto appear the name of the perpetrator.

I don't know If I am the only one but whenever I play including myself I rarely see people exchange useful information that will end in cooperation, coordination or anything useful for the village. Most of the times players go to autopilot doing what they think they need to do. There is chat don't get me wrong but only to say TY, ILY, bye, GL and other chit-chat staff.  Meaningful Communication needs more words and time than a simple chit-chat talk and with the current system is hard to be done.

You said from the start you need stories, but stories need communication, cooperation, and quests. Give us the tools to achieve those and you will have your stories.
