Language Barrier is Broken

I want to stress this first that it makes sense that families have different languages. HOWever it shouldn’t be impossible to learn like it is now. I haven’t seen one family learn another language since the last change to language by only increasing ten percent each generation. First this isn’t logical because adults can learn new languages and finding a kid from a different village and talking to them for six  minutes For EVery generation (10 times ) is impossible. Families usually die before this happens which kills all progress un different families interacting. Language should make sense and it shouldn’t be IMPOSSIBLE for one family to talk to another with the absence of notes. Global communication needs to be achieved without the help of notes.

You can also use a radio transmitter and receiver to communicate in the same way you can a written note. While this makes as much sense as all families being literate in all other languages but fluent in none, it is at least a functional workaround.

Re: Language Barrier is Broken

Radios take hours to make... I shouldn’t be needing hours to communicate with a SELECT few people. This proves how unviable language is. Why is their a work around for a game mechanic? Because it’s not functioning correctly. Your telling me I can spend generations and climbing to the top of the tech tree to make a radio but I can’t learn another families language? Bs

Easy, rubber ball, paper, pencil. Go back and forth writing notes.

I like notes, but rubber is biome-locked.   Most people will not have access to it when encountering new people.

Or make a small sign "sulfur pls" and walk with it to blacks.
