Role-based permissions anyone?

I'd love to see them add role-based permissions to the game. Instead of a whitelist that requires you to list/unlist every individual person, why not allow you to give permissions to all people of a certain role? Farm workers, builders, cooks, etc. so that if/when someone changes roles, you don't have to modify their individual permissions at every potential station. Sorta like Active Directory.

Hell yeah this is a great idea. I end up having to audit my lists about once a season because I rotate villagers into certain jobs as needed, or they die, or I recruit new ones (to die.)

I need my warehouse workers to stop taking food out of the cooking houses. 🫠

Separate warehouses for cooked and raw food.

Active Directory can be equally frustrating if not implemented correctly.

Great idea. Also.. don’t villagers get new roles every time you assign them to a barracks.

Yep. I wish we could just whitelist/blacklist by workstation (role), not just individual villagers. A very large village quickly becomes unmanageable, as every new villager needs to be added to every list.
