I go everywhere with at least a stack of it on my hotbar, so many uses.

The Faux Redwood powers my Blacksmith, the other sails are the Quern but its nothing fancy just a cobble tower on the residental section of the house

a reward for having a peat fire

Lantern lining mostly, have made a Black bronze chisel because i could. the mIron i havent done anything with yet tho, have two Iron mines so regular iron is well stocked

The only thing better than finding Iron is finding Iron closer to home that the first one (like in the back paddock closer than two Translocators and a lot of running) As to mining it all out and leaving a big dark room.. well there is light sources and Packed dirt to block off area's that you dont need now (i dont go anywhere without a Stack of it on my bar, its just so useful to have) The Durability is big tho, i was asked by my friend why i use Iron for all my tools and its because i use them a lot and would ratherr they lasted that bit longer than having to make a new bronze item more often (and i do still use Bronzes for items on occasions) I have the full blackgaurd set of armour and weapons and i approch combat cautiously still because even the best gear is a speed bump for the most nasty things in the depths (or your living room at the height of a storm) but i can take hits that will end my friends with one hit

Ive never heard of a smudge pot till now so thankyou for a new thing

Possibly but its been my long hope that if and now when they are added it was only a natural stream that would work

Single mill of a moderate size at a reasonable height on a windy day gets the job done, as it should do. Consistant is for waterwheels and i welcome them even if i have no idea where i'd find one yet.

Everything i read in the notes makes sense and to think its being done to "spite" players is a odd mindset. Players are very good at finding ways to play games that are not intended particuly in a game that is still very much under development and getting undergarments twisted when something changes. Personally im maybe going to have to look at gearing now because i have a set up where two windmills are very close to each other but its all fine, its a game feature ive ignored because it was easier to build another windmill for each machine than figure out gearing.

Rain i'd say, rain was the only reason a big fire i had stopped, it went for three days after ignition till a storm happened

Good eating on a candle

Looking down the deep holes in the ground can give you an idea of whats down there in any given area as you explore, just be careful around them if you have soil slippage on.

I'd expect that when we get rivers we'd see them

Except that a great deal of what is "suggested" is more mod worthy than core feature worthy and forgetting that the game is made to be easily modded.

Then survival sandboxes might not be the jam for you if the living world being the living world causes you such disruption.

A moment is all you need to start the next peat fire

Lanterns are great to have lots of but you'll want a few Torch holders near places where you'll be lightning things on fire ~ Kitchen, Pit kiln room and Blacksmith are all places i have one. Then you get the atmospherics of having them flanking door and gateways etc. Once you have found Lead its very easy to make a lot of molybdochalkos lanterns and with new smol lanterns coming they wont be a chunky about the place.

A bit of time and expansion leads a starter base to be a forever home

They could well do that. In the meantime From Golden Combs is a great mod if you want better beehives

I'd rather it be an extension of dye making

Oh deer. On near death at spawn while testing potential new worlds recently, gored by boars that were attacking as soon as i materialized and i barely got into creative airborne

something something slight horror themes Also get more light in your place and the only times you'll have guests is in a storm

I like to cave dive and have found a lot of my metals that way but having the ProPick augments that and not everyone plays a Blackguard who likes to spelunk

I build all my farms in 3x3 squares with the water in the center, keeps everything moist and compact and is easy to scale up or down as needed. Never bothered with watering them except by rainfall if it happens.

Food prep and enemy warning in one
