+1. I've seen people say "5 not enough, make it 6", and "6 not enough, make it 7". Please, let's just make it 8 and stop there. Everything in the game is in powers of 2, 8 is just perfect. (btw, I don't get at all why /kit starter gives 18 sticks, it really annoys my OCD - why the hell not 16? or 32, for what matters)
+1 A new small voting site that gives food sounds great to me. Nothing but beneficial, and would help builders for sure.
Might have stated this before but eh, we have to show people how to get food themselves, why is after 5 pork chops better than after 4?
It's a small addition, but it helps. I'm mainly leaning towards the idea of it having seeds in it, though.
More than seeds, which can be easily obtained, maybe also carrots and potatoes. Like 10 pieces of each. Their economical value is negligible and wouldn't affect the economy, but it would give the player a good bootstrap. And it would also be kind of a suggestion, like "hey, why don't you start yourself a small farm?"
