In an effort to better explain my prior suggestions and make it easier to read, I'll repost them with some new ones, as well. All suggestions added/resolved will be marked green, others that are incoming/intended will be marked orange and others that have not, will remain regularly bolded.
Volcanoes;
The basalt regions especially could benefit greatly from this, but an occasional volcanoes here or there could really spice of adventuring. They could be very rare, too. If there's a demand to have every suggestion need a reason though, I cannot provide one other than it would be incredibly cool to find them and potentially build around them and flowing rivers of lava. However, a good reason for them could be maybe have it so more zinc or lead (etc) appears around them, or under them? It could also be incredibly dangerous to mine out, as pockets of lava could be your ultimate doom.
Rivers / Oceans;
The giant lakes are really cool, but I think it would greatly help with the world generation to break them apart with actual oceans and have rivers run off into, at the very least, the larger lakes. Again, hard to pin point an actual "demand" for it other than it would be a good change to the world, but if there needed to be one, perhaps have it so larger animals often retreat to rivers or lake shores to "drink", allowing players a better hunting opportunity or herding opportunity. If a thirst system is ever introduced, you could also make fresh-water and salt-water, with the later being harmful to drink but great for maybe other needs.
Fishing / Aquatic Life;
The lakes/waters are just very dead right now, and there's really no need for them if they provide nothing for the player. There could be some fish swimming in the water to add some flavor to it, and if possible, an actual fishing mechanic and other fishing mechanics. This could provide an additional food source for the player. A way to then dry or pickle the fish could be another mechanic.
Bird Life;
The forests and meadows etc are relatively dead. We now have butterflies, but it would go miles if there were birds that flew away at approach or hung out in the trees. Maybe add vultures that pick at the bones we see across deserts? Killing birds could be an additional method of feather obtainment, or decorative ingredients perhaps for attire.
Non-Animal Hostiles;
Additional threats would bring more danger to the world and players to watch out for. In this regard, I mean perhaps something like roaming bandits or more alien-technological enemies like the drifters? Something that flies, maybe, so that bows have an even better usage beyond hunting or shooting off the walls at drifters etc. There could even be under-water variants of the drifters, that are specific to water.
Villages;
We already have traders. I know the world is supposed to be relatively "abandoned", but villages could be incredibly rare and not very big. They could offer the opportunity for further trade, or for hunting non-animal enemies (perhaps monsters are attracted more to larger communities). Almost like the last few pockets of "humanity", potentially finally dying out to the drifter/monster threat.
Slab-on-slab Construction;
Right now, if you place a slab on a slab, an unsightly gap appears. Slab on slab has its uses in building. An amendment to this, if possible, could greatly increase the building potential of the players.
Rugs / Carpets / Decorative Blocks
This was actually recently updated, and far better than I originally suggested. I will mark this as "ADDED".
More Wall Blocks
This was also recently added via the latest update, but this is really a continuous requests, as more building blocks can never be enough. Things like hearths, stone fire pits etc etc.
Newer suggestions are as follows:
Under-water Building;
The ability to make underwater buildings. Right now, if anything gets placed in the water that doesn't directly replace the block (such as dirt, wood etc), it is like the water surrounds a force field, rather than actually touch the object. Altering this could allow players to build under-water bases. There is no other "reason" for this suggestion other than that, though, well...unless you count generation placing stones/items in water and it's creating a force field around them.
Animal Housing;
Adding pens or stables etc for animals could provide a cleaner look at husbandry, and could serve as sort of a "sleep" area for the animals. For example, placing down the hen box should convince chickens to rest there when tired or at night. The same could be applied to pigs or goats etc via perhaps a new hay block or something. This way, all animals herd back to a safe, nice looking area at night. They shouldn't behave like wild animals and lie about anywhere at night.
More Doors and Door types;
Adding other colored doors or other designs for doors would be awesome, as well as trap doors. Asides from appeal for additional colors for regular doors, the benefit of a trap door or other types is for more versatile building themes having components to work with. Such as a castle using the trap door.
Horses / Donkeys / etc;
I wouldn't say this one is a very high priority suggestion, but if you want to travel long distances (I'm talking huge) perhaps to visit friends or something, an animal like a horse or maybe a pack mule for storage, could come in handy.
Temporal Stability Specific Items;
Perhaps we could have an item that wards off permanent instability in regions, and by that, I mean an item you could build--of course, make it difficult to make--that would allow you to build in an "unsafe" area by either completely warding off (less preferred) temporal stability OR shifts it to a normalized temporal instability, such as whatever the server is set to (this is the preferable solution in my opinion).
Light Sources;
It would be handy, not just for building/aesthetics, to have more sources we can build for light. The wall brazier things cannot be crafted, they can only be traded for or found in dungeons, that's fine, but how about a more primitive solution?
That's it for now. Hopefully this is easier for the moderators to read and potentially for the developer team, too. Thanks for all your hard work guys, this game is great!
That's basically what suggestions are.
I feel like this has probably not changed, but has the world been reset recently?
