so, it seems like out town hall has been upgraded several times, but the house limit is still at 10. anyone know if that's a hard cap for the beta, or if it just takes a lot of upgrades. ...I really want my house back. 
edit: oh, I see. it's at 15. I'm just too slow for this town.
also, a suggestion: maybe notifying the player when their home gets destroyed?

I did one and it seemed easy, then I tried another one and was nigh impossible.
Shit, I got disconnected!
Is it just broken? Is there a different vendor? Okay, this vendor is broke. Where do I get more Axe.
I've been doing the easy ones without problems (the 3x3 one). I'm building a bunch of saplings now, hopefully nobody destroys the trees.
lol that's what I do too....

I'm off, need to get some sleep lol. Fun game, but confusing as hell.
known bug unfortunately... fixed for launch. you will need to force-close the game and then restart it.
Couple of impressions now that the beta is over:
- I think players should be rewarded with XP for whatever resources they harvest that then go on to be stockpiled. Give something to the stockpiler for sure, but the most efficient way to play is definitely having one person mining, another running the materials to the loading area and so on. The problem right now is if you want to be rewarded for your work, you have to walk everything back to town yourself.
- The building puzzles are just meh. I always pay to skip them. It almost defeats the purpose. If Q has time to do so, I would be revisiting those. Right now they're just boring and hold up the poor schmuck who is waiting in line for the workbench while the person at the bench fumbles around trying to solve the puzzle. Just tedious.
- I understand why darkness hurts the player, but do I really have to lose health just for mining in an area with the smallest shadow imaginable being cast over me? I think the darkness health degeneration stuff should be tweaked so that you only get hurt when you're in pitch darkness.
Otherwise, day one purchase.

If you get kicked, you should be able to get back in (after giving it a minute-ish) as the Gaf town seems to be stable.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, you may need 5. Can you check your Requests in the pause menu?
It's says 2. I placed two and they turned into humans but it still says 0/2. The quest is called surprise inspection.
Edit: it's for a seperate town. Figured it out.

Oh for sure
Totally agree with the first point and it is something that will tune moving forwards after we launch... we want to work with the players to expand the ideas we've presented!
The darkness detection is tuned down a lot depending on the size of the shadow and is something we are constantly tweaking, in the meantime if you have a flashlight, just put it down beside you (switched on). Also, increase your fortitude level in your stats... or eat a glowing mushroom...
The puzzle is intended to take a little time and hold people up a bit. You can bribe it if you are impatient but freeman dollars are quite valuable.
Ask the policeman... be persistent.
