This game fucking sucks to play now. Any of the nice changes like walls finally having shelves, slot boxes, and rubber horsecarts are overshadowed by terrible changes like tool slots and race restrictions. It's a shame because some of the new tech was actually pretty fun to craft like glassware and wine, but unless you're black you basically can't make glass
Tool slots are hot trash. Between that and the race restrictions, I haven't touched big server in over a month and don't intend to unless something drastically changes

Just go around asking that. You'll eventually get an answer from someone.
The reason this is so effective is that it doesn't demand a long response, and is less demanding than "teach me, please." It also doesn't necessarily imply that you're new. Even expert players want to find a job that's not already being done.
Anyone with half a brain would jump at the chance for free labor from you. I know I would.
I dunno. To me the "JOB?" question always pretty much screams "newbie." Expert players are good at just looking around and deciding what needs to be done and generally don't need to ask (or don't think they do, at least). And it seems like almost every time a kid says it, if I reply with "OK, do you know how to do X?" the answer is "no." And then we have to have a long frustrating conversation in which I try to assess their skill levels and try not to express my internal snarky thoughts about why you'd even ask what needs doing if you can't do any of it anyway. Personally, I'd just rather they ask to be taught something if they want to learn.
(Unless it's an Eve camp, in which case, congrats, newbie, you are now the settlement's official collector of wild food and/or branches for kindling, and bless you forever if you manage to haul a bunch of that stuff back without starving to death.)
But that may just be me.
I automatically assume anyone saying, "JOB?" is a noob. Anytime I've ever told them something that's needed, I get an "IDK HOW" back. Like you said, actual veteran players already know what needs to be done and anyone asking "JOB?" will not be the one who will be able to do it
I've kept my mouth shut through the shitshow that was the rift and again for the pain in the ass skills update, but man what in the fuck is this shit? Why does Jason like making this game more and more of a chore to play with each update? I just don't get it.
