Summary0008775: World Structure Effects Buffed by Region
DescriptionIt seems to me that there are some natural choices on where to place certain world structures; for instance, a covered farm seems ideally placed in a grassland, a lumbermancy placed in a forest, and a aquaurgist's well placed over water. I've personally been doing this already just for the esthetic, but thought it might be incorporated into an interesting gameplay tweek: increase the skill provided by structures when placed in preferred landscapes (or decrease the return when placed on ill-favored regions).

I'm not entirely clear on how skill points will be used with NCPs, so balance might be an issue. Still, a x2 or x1.5 return for a good area choice for your buildings (or a x0.75 or x0.5 for a bad one) would give incentive to clear more of the continent, instead of just piling structures wherever there is space.

...I'm not sure that I'd want to tie the structures to regions by themselves (since it seems a little odd to my way of thinking), but I would like to see some regional importance. Instead, what if the region determined how much the points it granted were "worth" to each NPC survivor (assuming they each will get the same boost normally); I'd like to see some importance in survivor time periods anyway, and this would fit. I'm thinking you'd get a x1.2 multiplier if the survivor is of the same time period as the structure (since they're used to working in the area), and possibly there'd be a x0.8 multiplier for some period-to-region relationships since the survivor would really dislike it there. (Ice Age characters, for instance, would likely not want to work in the Lava Flats because it's too hot, while Draconites won't like the Ice Age because it's too cold, and so on.)
