Due to various reasons, several changes have been done to the setting, and have been gathered here. These changes are applied from the 3rd volume onwards.

- More specifically, Level 1 now has Facility Construction skill, and Level 4 has been changed from Intruder Detection to Facility Upgrade
- Facility Upgrade: Makes it possible to increase the performance of a Facility. For more details, look below at “Regarding the facilities that could be built”.
- Intruder Detection has been incorporated into the Map ability which can be used at the default level of the Gift. It’s an ability that lets the user know of the location of its villagers as well as its intruders. The Map ability also helps in using Reposition.

Each facility comes with an explanation, like the ones below. Luke can check for these explanations at any time.
Field: A cultivated land with good quality soil. Speeds up the growth of crops as well as improves their quality.
Animal barn: A shed for the use of livestock. It speeds up their growth, preserves their health, and strengthens their reproductive abilities.
Rehabilitation facility: A place to rehabilitate criminals and wrongdoers. The likelihood of reforming is increased for the targets.
Training ground: A facility for the practicing of magic and martial arts. Increases one’s growth rate. It also has a feature that prevents injuries.
As for the village skill Facility Upgrade, using it on a facility will improve that facility’s effects. For example, by using it on a field, it’s possible that that field will [make the crops planted on it grow faster], [make the crops have better quality], or [improve the workers’ labor efficiency]. Each of the options required a certain number of points before it could take effect.
For some facilities, the outcome of using Facility Upgrade would be changing the said facility into its higher-ranked versions. For example, earthen walls could be turned into stone walls.
Regarding Village Points
Before:
Level up bonus=level*100
Revised:
Level up bonus=number of required villagers for level up X 10
Example: To reach level 2, one must have 50 villagers, hence a level up bonus of 500 points. For level 5, 300 villagers are required, hence a level up bonus of 3000 points.
Regarding Facility Customization
Before
- When altering the shape of a facility, no village point is required.
- When removing something from a facility, no village point is required.
- When changing the colors of a facility, no village point is required.
- When adding something into a facility, some village points are required.
Revised
- Consumes a good amount of village points: Adding new components to the facility/Increasing the size (there is a change in mass) of the facility as a whole or specific components.
- Consumes a little less amount of village points: Altering the shape of a facility or its components (no changes in mass).
- Consumes a smaller amount of village points: Removing something from a facility/Changing the colors.
As seen above, changing the shape of the facility or removing something from it now costs some points. It’s not a lot though.
Regarding the village area
Before: The village is square-shaped, and doubles its area each time the village levels up.
Revised: The village is circular in shape, doubles its radius each time the village levels up. This means the area quadruples each level up. The radius at level 1 is 100 meters.
Regarding the guide feature
Before: Kindly instructs Luke with voice. It can reply.
Revised: Information is given only in text form. It cannot reply.
Regarding Luke
Luke has a previous life, but his memories of that life is mostly limited to the knowledge he had gained. His base personality is not changed. Also, all the characters in the information windows, such as the Status windows, are Japanese characters.
Regarding the likelihood of possessing a Gift
Before: A little over 10%
Revised: 10%
Making the chance exactly (or very, very close to it) 10% is so that calculations are easier.

I find some of these changes are in direct opposition to the story. Best example being facility upgrade, it would have been more intuitive to have made it act like the revised version for higher level structures but have the guide explain it as being a beginner mode element until now. Also personally liked that the guide responds.

At the beginning I was wondering why is it 10% if the first groups with detailed structure description consisted from gift holder for around 16 – 18 %% ? Another thing, village level 7 covered covered all wilderness part of forest And mountain. Yep, and all of this in direct vicinity, little more than twelve kilometres. If they are not ant sized, they must be playing in sandbox.

I really preferred when Luke wasn’t a secret isekai ptotag.
I liked the dynamic of “I was born in this world with blessings from the gods, but my special gift is a reborn person from another world!”

Luke can now build and own multiple palace if he wanted to~

That explains how Luke sometimes has comebacks and knowledge from modern times. I like it better when he’s not a reincarnator since it gives a feeling similar to manzai comedy like how his Gift is otherworldly while Luke is a straightshooter

I’m personally not a fan of Luke having some knowledge about our world. I don’t know, it kind of lessens his innocence for me, which I feel is needed for much of the humor. We’ll see, of course, how it’s implemented.

I was just about to ask if we were reading the Before or After version, but this answers that question. I liked that talking gift as well, kinda Siri like, but without him knowing what that is. Although by now I had already forgotten his gift could do that.
Anyway, thanks for the info.
