Rafts, Catapults, and Other Stuff?
I love the game and I love the building system, I just beat my first playthrough and it was a blast with and without friends. All that said, I was disappointed that we didn't get features that were in the first game like raft structures, mountable defenses and other things.

My question is, are these features planned in future updates or were they purposefully removed / discarded? And if so, why?

I'll go into detail here, but hopefully we'll see these features being updated in the future:
-Rafts / Raft structures are absent
-Catapults / Siege weapons stuff are absent
-Enemy variety (currently) seems extremely limited in surface attacks
-Furniture seems limited
-Building on water with support beams needs a workaround system
-Big Signal fire absent
-Markers absent
-Log sled absent
-Entire half of the island is nearly completely empty of content
-Cave systems are disappointingly lackluster and not connected at all

Just some gripes I have personally that aren't that important, but was hoping to see:
-Rope bridges seem too stable and not rickety or flexible.
-Can't build Rain collectors? (I think, Am I just dumb?)
-Can't lay or hide under/inside the tarp tents despite how cozy they look in rain
-Can't use knife, harpoon gun, or any kind of weapon underwater
-Can't hunt / use orcas or sharks
-Can't put torso of dead bodies on effigies like in the first
-Can't use the rest of skinned animals hunted (looks like a lot of meat gone to waste)
-Bodies of guards, campers, staff, etc look fresh and not decomposed
-Entire Topside of the map has no cannibal tribes/enemies except ferals
-No ranged cannibals? None of them figured out how to use bows yet?
-No ballistas? No big traps? No new defensive measures?
-No big body pile of flying dead things coming after me?
-No alligators, tiger sharks, lake monsters or big sea monsters?
-Lack of decorative things to put around camp

Also, this is one last small suggestion that I was praying for is the ability to have more than just Virginia and Kelvin as companions in camp. I'm not asking for a city builder, but I was hoping we could have some people to make use of the watchtowers and defenses- should the game ever get harder with bigger raids like in the first game.
