Feedback regarding Shelter/Base building Materials

[Wrath Nine]

First TL&DR is;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Get Rid of Thatch its worthless
2) Split Wood Up to unlock half at level 1 and half at level 5
3) Rename "Interior Wood" to "Refined Wood" or "Hardened Wood" give it 50% more HP and +20% weather resistance than normal wood and make it unlock at level 10 not 15
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I have only been playing since the Second Beta Weekend but I wanted to give some feedback regarding something that I think needs a little bit of adjusting.

Specifically I am referring to the early game materials Thatch/Wood/Interior Wood/Stone.
There are several issues that I have with this arrangement that I think should be considered for being changed.

1) Thatch is of Zero value: thatch right now serves no redeeming purpose right now. even though you can unlock it right away and it requires minimal resources it is just a trojan horse. the material can not even slow down a hostile animal from plowing through your wall as if it were not there and it is destroyed by even the most mild of storms. so it does nothing but waste skill points so you have to start over with a new character. I think that Thatch likely should be removed from the game.

2) Wood is slightly more flimsy than I think it should but acceptable. However If you decied to remove thatch that I would like to see wood get elevated to being partially available at level 1 and partially available at level 5.
have Beam/Floor/Wall/Door/Roof Ramp available at level 1 and the rest become available at at level 5.

3) Interior Wood is Pointless: interior wood is by far the biggest let down in the tech tree. its locked behind level 15 where you have to unlock a specialty work bench before you can begin to unlock it not only that but it requires refined materials such as rope and copper to create which should make it of higher value and more useful that basic wood right?!..... nope all you get for that is wood building that look prettier but are even more fragile that basic wood. This should be changed to something else and reworked to be better that basic wood.
My suggestion would be to change it to be something like Refined Wood or Hardened Wood as the material name give it about 50% more hit points than the basic wood and slightly increase its resistances to storms say like +20-25% from what normal wood has.
Also you should change it to be accessible at level 10 not level 15. that way it becomes an appealing option where players consider getting Hardened Wood at 10 or waiting to 15 to get Stone. Also if you lower the carpentry bench to level 10 move the associated Cupboard down to 15

4) Stone is fine as it is

I COMPLETELY agreed. As someone who's really just started playing this game it is infinitely frustrating that interior wood objects seem to take more damage than regular wood does in storms
