Hello!
I've just started playing after few months break and these are the things that I found out to be annoying/lacking:
1. All of these annoying (!!) naked (!!) bastards scratching themselves asses (!!) in the middle of Providence (!!)... Please make the town scratch-free area.
2. Afks in Providence.... (usually the very same guys as above)... I understand that some of them can't dissapear because of... something? Like Crime!? But you defenitely could make them for example teleport to a place where they won't annoy anyone...
3. Madness is just stupid. I find it as total mistake... Well - not really - the voices are cool! But all these disasters have TOO BIG PROBABILITY!!! Honestly... At 2nd madness level I feel like every 10th or 20th Autumn Grass I've picked up caused me to drop all my clothes only to scratch my ass to death (few times in a row - because I didn't knew what was happening and how to deal with it).... Or I've just bought pickaxe for my hardly earned silver only to let it turn into questionably useful pickaxe after 3 days. Or my friend who just started playing - he gathered some wood blocks to make sharpened sticks, he set up all production, and went afk for 3 minutes.... He came back only to see that wierd wood-madness-thing (can't remember the name) and like 20 H&N levels less. Things like these really make ppl wanna ragequit....
4. Skeletons everywhere... literally... Like 100s of skeletons all around the Providence. You should make them dissapear after a while.
5. Flour should be made out of seeds.
6. Crabs and frogs should be pickable from canoe/boat because... why not? - If I can grab seashell or seaweed then why not?
7. Poppy (opium/poppy seeds cake)? Sugar cane (sugar)? Coffee (energy drink)? Maple syrup (substitute for sugar)? Porcelain bottles (substitute for super expensive clear glass)? Cocoa tree (chocolate, cocoa butter, chocolátl)?
8. Make all potable plants - plantable at farm plots.
9. Higher hands reach - when the thing you are looking for is stuck in a wall or under tree...
