Good points...I could have much to say but I offer only a few comments.
I would do less on the graphics and more on gameplay....it looks amazing so spend some time on the guts of the thing.
Trees should take MUCH longer to mature....it'd be nice if they went through a few stages but that might be too much.
It'd be nice if the characters could carry only a very little and required a wheelbarrow, cart, wagon, etc. AND a flattish trail to move along.
What about the players avatar started by knowing very little....plants are just "plants"....ore is just "ore".....players get experience and learn more about the world as they go....perhaps they need to rely on NPC's to do the technical stuff like casting.....I would need to explain this on Discord to make much sense.
Major industrial facilities (forges) should be expensive AND immobile....once placed, there they stay....much more to say on this....
...just some thoughts....great game already.
