I think we should be able to throw boulders, tree logs, etc. Seeing as they are so heavy, it doesn't need to be far, only a few feet away. But trying to get things from higher land is annoying to say the least. I was cutting down a tree and apparently a part of it fell on the cliff so it decided to just drop the entire thing on the upper level.
If there was a basic throw option we could get things to lower levels without spending the hour to make a ramp out of the cliff.
