Really enjoying the new AI update, it makes it feel like enemies aren't entirely out to get you all the time and that there is a little bit of co-existence going on. That said we could really use a Hardware Store in the town to get some of the planks and nails to start crafting, it took me a few days irl of playing 1-3 hours a day just to finally get enough planks and nails to spawn.
For those still looking, planks can sometimes spawn freestanding on the crates in the back of the clothing store, and most tool spawns come from living quarters inside buildings upstairs, the back cabinet of the kitchens will have those. I know there are a couple buildings that have that upstairs part but I can only remember the grocery store/fruit&veggie store has it for sure.
Besides that, it would be great if we could build our own storage, I find I quickly run out of space storing clothing backups and crafting materials, however being able to repair clothing/equipment would allow you to cut down on that aspect too.
