I think a very reliable that will boost the game in popularity, donations and fun would be if you could make a multiplayer option or even a LAN option where we can open our world to LAN or the global world.
I think there should be a button added to transfer all items at once like when you have a bundle of 10 wood you can hit T to transfer it all at once to your hand or crate instead of dragging and dropping because it can get annoying to have to keep going back and forth to move stuff and time consuming also it has to be right over the square you want to drop it in to be put there and if you let go it goes back to storage. Also think there should be an option to upgrade your storage by crafting upgrades to your self storage and crate storage. Also had a problem not being able to move anything after you place it, you end up having to destroy it and waste materials to build another so there should be an option to move it also can't destroy cooking stations. I think if you destroy something it should drop half the materials you used on it instead of just disappearing.
Hey I Thought up some things that i think could really change the way the game works!
Building
1.Doors
2.Candles
3.Floors should have to be attached to a pillar not floating diagonally of one.
Tools
1.Bow and arrows
2.Fishing net
3.Scuba gear (Different parts of gear found in ocean?
Gathering
1.Add cloth that needs to be dried?
2.Metal
Misc
Weather that makes you go indoors for safty
Now i know this would be alot of coding but you could nurse a bird or something so it would help you gather?
Local multiplayer
I have repeated some of my previous ideas but I did it because i think they could be real cool aspects for the game and i know its hard making a game as cool as this but From what i have seen you work real fast. I thought it would take alot longer for you to make the chest but you made it alot quicker than expected! You seem really good at what you do and whatever your working on I am sure your doing a good job at it so by all means just tell me to stop because i have wrote alot and i don't care if you ignore me so yeah!
This game is awesome. my few ideas are: range, perhaps a flimsy bow with crafted arrow, all the way up to a mounted ballista because.... pesky shark. I would love some kind of breeding in farming to get better food, fishing tiers and bait would be great.
Oh and also: reinforced foundation, i imagine a foundation surrounded my metal, takes three shark attacks to "kill" mabye you need a ballon to keep it afloat.
Not sure if anyone has suggested this, but what about sunstroke? It could be an environmental threat, alleviated by spending time in shade from structures or palm trees, thus adding more reason to grow them.
The difficulty with that, as well as the need for warmth in a day/night situation, would be balancing the early game when you're scrambling for resources to feed yourself, stay hydrated, and have a big enough raft to put other features on. It's pretty easy to die during that period as it is.
