There should be risk of shark attack during sleep so you either wake up and have to repair or wake up during the night to fight it off

Here are a couple of suggestions regarding tools, enemies, and overall additions.
I have played raft and gotten so far into the game that it has become, for lack of a better term, easy and boring. Here are some suggestions I thought of that I think would improve the game. I'm not sure if people have thought of these yet.
1. Give tools such as nets, spears, hammers, etc. a certain life span.
Nets would naturally wear down after a certain amount of days and you can only repair them to that amount. For example, after 4 days the health of the net is 60% and you can only repair it up to 60%. It goes down each day until you have to build a new one. ln a similar way, the spear and hammer and axe only last a certain number of uses, let's say 50, before it breaks and you have to build a new one. You should have to build new torch containers (cup + thatch or some other material) to replace burnt out ones. The torch would still be there, you would just replace the top part.
2. Shark improvements
The more days you survive the more frequent and difficult the shark should become, maybe even more sharks you have to worry about.
3. More enemies/different locations
4. Bigger item barrels/interactive barrels
When you drop items they turn into small barrels. I think those barrels should be a little bigger. Not as big as the ocean barrels, but bigger than they are currently. Maybe coding doesn't work for this, but if there was a way for them to not disappear unless they fall in the water that would be great. If your body could also interact with them such as "kicking" them around that would also be cool
5.Labels for chests (and maybe other things)
This isn't really that important, it could even be something you could turn off in graphics, but I think the ability to label chests would be great for sorting.
6.Lastly, the ability to throw items/toys
The ability to throw and kick items around would be cool. I made a soccer field on my raft and sadly nothing to play with. If you could craft a ball or just be able to use the item barrels that would be cool. The ability to use rope and wood and nails to make a basketball hoop would also be cool as well
