Backgrounds are similar to "racials" in other games.
Instead of the race you choose giving certain benefits, players will select a "background." We want players to have the freedom to choose the race they want to play because they're excited about it, and avoid situations where players feel forced to play a specific race because of gameplay benefits.
We spoke about this during the February 2023 Development Update. Timestamp to where that conversation begins.
Aaaaand backgrounds 💪
Welcome to Reddit! Where opinions clash, memes thrive and trolls roam. Be careful out there! ❤️
What's the point of showcasing a primarily PvP-oriented system without heavily focusing on and explaining the PvP part in detail? No one really cares about this fluff in a forced PvP game, the fluff is just there to provide a venue for PKing (and people who care about it definitely aren't your target audience since they don't want forced PvP).
What people need to see is what they will experience in the actual game (so either being able to run caravans 24/7 because they're in the freefarm guild and no one dares to attack them, or not being able to run them because they're not in the freefarm guild so they're being ganked 24/7). If you have a third option that somehow solves this issue that existed in every single sandbox PvP game so far, why didn't you just explain it?
This just looks like gameplay on an opt-in PvP server, which you already said you won't have, so who are you trying to attract with this misrepresentation of the system and why?
One of our goals of these Development Updates is getting feedback on specific systems. This month we want feedback on Caravans, and connected systems like Glint and Commodities.
We felt that bringing PvP into today's stream would have dominated the conversation, and taken away from what we're looking to discuss with players. There will definitely be a time to talk PvP in the future, but that wasn't what our focus was for this update. ⚔
You can gather materials and carry them back to a Node, where you can do things like sell them or put them in other storage you have.
Caravans are a different way to transport materials. You can learn more about Caravans in the October 2023 Development Update livestream, and in the wiki here.

Regarding the current state of the project I'd think that the reason we haven't heard much of the Tulnar is because development on them is currently not progressing much, the reason being that Intrepid is aiming at making the Alpha 2 version ready. This could mean that their won't be any Tulnar to play when A2 launches, that the Tulnar are not yet in a presentable state for a reveal (I'd expect to get news on them during the update on the character editor) or that the other topics on the list to cover take priority over presenting the Tulnar due to Alpha 2 drawing near.
But as of now, I'd say the risk of the Tulnar being deleted from the storyline is below 5% - Steven has been very protective of the lore elements in his world and the ...
Nicely said friend!

wait what. where did u see that? its not showing up for me. its not pinned!
edit: oh nvm its in announcements -_-
As with many aspects of the game, there is a lot of optimization and polish work that is outstanding since we are still actively in Alpha Two development. Movement replication is something that will be worked on in the coming sprints 💪🙏

It's not clear from either of the external links how the helping or hindering will happen, nor if this is just 'materials provided, enjoy building'. Might even be Creative mode..
