while you will implement the carrying limit, what about changing the max number of hunters a player can have? now it's 20, maybe 5 would be better to leverage the problem someone reported?
I could do it - but please note the part that said that I would like to get snailbrain's and the wider community's ok before implementing the changes (as we would have to coordinate another hardfork, too). So just put this up to discussion alongside the carrying limit.
Yes, we need to think about it a bit more..
but it sounds logical - and is how RTS games have been doing it since the beginning.
It will make it so there are trains/caravans going from central area - which is how it was original envisioned. Of course this happens now to some degree but not so much.

This probably will also make the crown even less valueable - The Crown needs some "buffing" - probably "no limit" even if they pickup coins.
Needs even more thought..
