Why only 2 ice cubes a day?

You only can get 2 ice cubes a day, which limits the amount of ice boxes you can have. This is just so bad....

When it comes to storage boxes it takes an iron to craft, which really slows down the progression at the beginning of the game, and so many crafting recopies need iron.

I find. When it comes to putting items in crafting machines you can only craft one item at a time. Plus you can't take one item out of the storage box, you have to take the whole stack out of storage. Than after putting the items into the crafting machines you have to walk back over and put the rest of the stack back into the storage boxes. Which is more time consuming than be able to take out the exact number items you want from storage boxes .
Or better yet you can craft right out of storage boxes without having resources in your inventory. It just makes the game less tedious when done this way.-

Though I have found resources in this game to be so limited than they are in other games I have played.

You can take one item out of storage boxes (and also when trading with people). Left and right click allow you to either transfer an entire stack or just one item.

You don't have to take the whole stack out of storage at once, right click to take the amount you want.

Crafting out of the storage boxes would be great but it's a mechanic that I've only seen in a small number of games, I wish it was a standard feature in all games.

This game is very limited with the amount of resources you can get each day, only 2 ice cubes is the worst one, and the mining isn't much better, you should be able to get much more from mining, wood chopping, and resource gathering in a days run.

And then there is the shops that may or may not have what you need on any given day, it took a year of checking every day before I was able to find a steel ax. Then there is the paint that you can only buy on weekends from the ships. Imo the shops should carry everything you might need or want all of the time.

This game is fun for awhile, but then the grinding to gather what you need gets really old, it kind of sucks the fun out of playing.

the storage in the basement doesnt need ice, so thats already extra free of worries space.

You can store ice in the ice box and the large ice box only needs 1 ice every 2 days. You can build up a pile of them by saving the extra ice every day. I saved a bunch for potions and it didn't feel too grindy.

I guess it wouldn't have been realistic in this time period to have loads of fridges in your home 🙂. Maybe you can juggle 6 here - I'd find that super stressful!

controller doesn't have that functionality yet though and it would be nice if it did. when transferring from storage it would be good to be able to split it, and when selling it would be nice to just sell the stack if we want.
