have you thought about adding uses to the random stuff besides fish you can catch (like the newt translating to a bait or 3 seaweed adding up to 1 food for a couple ex. )?
there is technically a use for the junk. im not sure if the amount of junk is important, but when i talked to Laurel she decided to make an item i didn't have out of the junk i had collected. so- technically, it has a use.
