I wish I could encourage the grass to grow back (and shrubs I wish) ~ had a bit of a incident with a pit kiln and the plain i live near is very plain now

I'd love to see Water mills but with some way in place that it has to be Naturally generated flowing water rather than player placed which is too easy to do in terms of making water generation happen. How that would work I have no idea.

Candles are for placing or using to make Lanterns (mouse over and press H on the candle to see the recipe). The Torch holders make Torches not burn out and are good in places you want to have a fire source readily available like your Kitchen or Forge. You can also make your own eventually when you have the right materials and set up.

or collected from the many ruins that dot the land

Would be good for there to be a reason to use a raft, there is no point to it presently in my mind if i can just swim to where ever with no concern

Not everything need to be useful, just having it in the world for variety is good enough

Convenience of material in one place ~ anything i use a lot of and have a lot of gets a crate ~ Sticks, grass, logs, dirt, clays, stones to name a few. Current world i have only 2 made crates and 16 aged ones ive found.

Often. my current storage room is lined with aged crates ive found just waiting for me to fill them, The one of the server i play on has a crate for each rock type we have found plus many more things we gather and use in bulk

Have you filled the area around it with flowers? That will speed up the process greatly. I got one the other day and with 92 flowers places around it i had it full in a day.

Had a similar thing when we updated to 1.18 from 1.16 on the server i was on. We restarted the server and it cleared up (but there were other game stopping errors that we found after that involving invisible items)

I always carry at least a stack of packed dirt. Just so many things you can do with a easily places and relatively easy to remove block. From filling gaps/holes in terrain to building shelter while out in the world. Fill between better presenting blocks when building. Once you get past a certain point you do just throw it away but its always good to have some in a chest.

Always carry a stack of packed dirt. useful for a large range of tasks and easy to make and just as easy to leave behind as needed.

Out in the world i just build a Bunker to hunker in and at home i retreat to the pantry and put down a couple of dirt blocks to seal the stairs to the cellar

Had to remake my shortsword and shears as they were not displaying properly with the update from 16 to 17. Not much else yet as im preferably waiting for my friend to be available to play now that our time zones are 2hours closer together.

i keep a supply for making hoes in case i need to expand my gardens

All that is already down there, sure not in every cave and shouldn't be but Ive found some amazing things underground and many minerals down there with it all.

Do the Bears know this

Having fought one, I'm not sure I'd want to try and herd any into a pen for any reason.

I'd like to see High Gen Rams be used for mounts because for me at least they have only a use now as a supply of meat and hides (and between everything else i don't need that a lot)

Have been preemptively Bearproofing my Sheep pens and Piggery. Still on 16.4 as the server owners are not available to update but from all I've read I figured it was the time now to fix the place up because we live in a forest and im not wanting to lose my animals to a wandering bear.

Unless you have it on a very large area you still need to triangulate it down unless your only using it in places where you pretty sure is ore.

Aqueducts?

Animal improvements/Husbandry. The Ability to use a rope on a animal and move it to where you need it would be amazing, too many pigs phasing out of pens and then refusing to go back in.

To make those you need Tin/other, we didn't have any until we found just enough to make an anvil and one Pickaxe to mine the Iron and haven't found any more casserite since but i know where more than enough Iron to last us forever is.

Couldn't be any more of a problem than the ones that end up at the bottom of deep holes
