Progress Update - 15th Nov 23 - Storage Area usage restrictions by tribe
In case you missed it yesterday, I posted an announcement with more info about what is coming in 0.5, and here's another copy of the screenshot of the full new tribe relationship UI that I have been building over the past couple of weeks. The data you see in there is all "live", it's all tied into what the tribe actually wants/has, however for now the tribe always wants the same stuff, so I need to work on filling out the quests system and making the tradable lists change over time, depending on what they need. So I'll be working on that soon.

In other news, I've now finished the work on object permissions, it's great to have that ticked off the list. So now by default, your sapiens won't use things from the storage areas belonging to other tribes, and won't store things in them either. You can configure that behavior both at a per-tribe level with a new settings tab in the tribe relationship panel, or per storage area with the "Allow Use" checkbox or restriction options in the storage area settings as normal. I've also added a toggle button for using beds that belong to other tribes, and I expect there will be a few more options to come too, but I'll add them as we need them.

The next step is to make AI tribes notice and react when you steal or destroy their things, so today I'm starting on a grievance system, which should be pretty straightforward to get set up and working, before I then go on to completing the work on quests and trading.
