What's the purpose of Regions?

[ceresward]

Currently they don’t have much meaning. I suspect the devs probably have plans for them, it’s just not high on the list of priorities.

I suggested an idea a while ago for the Cubit shop to have items you can use to unlock some quality-of-life benefits for a region:

Gathering, Hunting, Mining

The reward could be the ability to designate a region as part of your ‘hunting grounds’ (not exclusive; any number of players can designate the same region). This would give some quality-of-life benefits while gathering/hunting/mining in that region, like maybe it will tell you how many of a particular resource are left in the region, or maybe even mark the direction to the nearest resource on the compass.
