Utilize the clay-forming system for dough! It seems like a waste to have the clay-forming system be wasted for clay. You can have different recipes for different kinds of pastries much like how you have for different clay items

In this same vein, my master and other volumes are at 100%, and my music volume at 20%, and the music is WAY louder than everything else. I turned it down to 10%, and it's closer to "normal."

Does anyone else have this issue? Why is the music so much louder than everything else?

Same.
Master - 100%
Effects - 20%
Entity - 32%
Ambient - 49%
Weather - 29%
Music - 4%

Otherwise, the music is way too loud.
Although I guess I could turn the other values UP and the Master down. But I think the music value is overtuned.

PLEASE add frogs to this game!!! My wife says she will play it if you do... LOL!

I second this.
Just not too loud or annoying - or if so, please add their own separate sound slider.

In the meantime . . . have you tried mods? There have got to be some mods around.
There is this OLD mod (which sadly probably means it doesn't work), but maybe it does, or maybe there are other frog mods?

SUGGESTION: Be able to pick up an item from next to a 1x1x1 block of water, without jumping into it.

Most of us keep a 1x1x1 block of water close to the Forge, in order to Quench an item.

Currently the only way to retrieve those items, is to jump into the water, in order to pick it up. 
(Although this is immersive, it is not immersive.)

I'd like a way for the auto-pickup to retrieve those items if you are next to the block AND/OR for there to be a "reach" mechanic to retrieve them.
Perhaps if tongs are equipped in the off-hand (as they would be for forging anyway), then cold items will be retrieved from the water, if standing adjacent to the water block?

(Or do people chisel fancy shallow quenching troughs? Does that work?)

I see that there are mods out there that increase base pick-up range, but I'm suggesting that as this is a very vanilla game activity, that there should be a pickup in this scenario.

Oh, and the quenching process is pretty satisfying, so there could always be a second or so delay between "cooling completed" to "pick-up." Link the check for the tongs and player range for the metal cooling to zero.

SUGGESTION: Right click to swap out flowers/plants/mushrooms from flowerpots and planters

I would like to be able to "right click" to swap out flowers, plants or mushrooms from flowerpots and planters.

Currently, you have to break the pot, replace the pot and then replant. 

This would make it quicker to try out different décor options.
For example, if I held a Heather plant in my active slot, then a right-click would swap it for the Dwarf Furze.

SUGGESTION: Broken glass slabs should retain their orientation status, rather than returning to "Auto" orientation.

When building, often the glass slabs will be in the same orientation. For example, doing windows they would typically be vertical. If you're doing a greenhouse roof, then horizontal.

However, breaking glass returns it to the (annoying) "Auto" state. I would like it that breaking a glass slab would retain the status that it had when it was in position.
This is because you'll likely be using it on a similar orientation shortly. For example, when placing windows into walls and trying out spacing. Or when placing different colours in a greenhouse roof.

This would save the shuffle from breaking the glass, and pivoting it through the state changes.

Supplementary request: The default state of slabs should have "Auto" last, rather than first. For example, rather than the current "Auto, horizontal, vertical", have the default orientation be "Vertical, horizontal, Auto." I rarely find the "Auto" state to be useful, as typically you are doing a lot of one kind of work. You have to cycle out of it anyway, so put it at the end.

(Or put it into an Option the way that you want the glass sort order to go. . . )

Thanks, Professor Dragon.

I believe that at some point there was a PR to move the functionality from the item to a tool mode, like hammers/propick

That sounds good! So, look at the glass, press "F" and choose the orientation. 🙂 

A Wrench can be used in vanilla to flip slabs and stairs orientation.

I'd specifically like the drop orientation to be retained though, rather than re-crafting or re-flipping. The issue with both the Wrench, and if the new functionality were to be introduced similar to the method above, is that it still burns through extra operation steps. I'd just like my vertical glass to stay vertical UNTIL I order a state change.

I don’t remember how it works with clay/tools, but if picking up new clay/ break-swapping to a new tool doesn’t change tool mode, then you could just keep a slab on hand set to the desired mode.

I use a barrel of water for that purpose, personally.

That particular item-pickup annoyance also shows up in many other situations though. Maybe the solution could simply be to shift the collection hitbox downward when crouching or seated? That way you could "bend down" to pick something up.
