Suggestions after playing for 8 hours
These are the things I feel the game really needs:

1. A way to mass-plant and mass-water, to reduce tediousness of the action. Say, hold SHIFT and it waters or seeds all areas around you and on your square for a 3x3 area done. Starts in the NE corner, goes clockwise, and ends in your square, in situations where you don't have enough water or seeds.

Additionally a way to mass harvest with the Hoe, by holding Shift and attacking.

=====

2. Fishing lures, to make early game fishing less tedious. Or eliminate the mini game entirely, and use an auto-fishing system like Dysmantle does, and so you can do something else, while the game auto-fishes for you.

=====

3. Much faster XP gains for melee, ranged, and vitality skills. I've killed nearly a thousand slimes, hundreds of maggots and at least a hundred cavelings, and yet my melee is only 19 and ranged is only 22. My mining skill and running skill are both around 46 at the moment.

=====

4. We need more talent points. Say 1 talent point every 2.5 levels; thus you earn 1 at level 3rd and 1 at level 5th. Would allow us to diversify much more and fill out the individual talents faster.

=====

5. Really would like some kind of plant that produces slime. We got one that produces fiber, so...

=====

6. Some additional iron-tier tools for iron anvil (it does have 3 available slots):
-> Crossbow = Damage range and reload speed between a sling (tin tier) and a musket.
-> Spiked Shield = Deals thorns damage to enemies when you block and holds up better than the standard shield.
-> Advanced Lantern = 6 glow radius, worn in offhand as usual.

=====

7. Sentry Trap = Using the new electricity system, connect power to a sentry trap that automatically fires crossbow bolts at nearby enemies.

=====

8. Thumper = Using the new electricity system, connect power to a thumper that will attract maggots from a great distance away to investigate it. Combine with other devices to turn it into a maggot farmer. Also helps to entice the larger maggots to stop destroying all my torches.

=====

9. A way to convert Copper to Tin. Maybe through Alchemy? I'm always running out of tin, and its needed for making railways, so I'm unable to keep building my railways.

=====

10. Mining picks swing over torches, rather than hit them (like Swords do). Quite annoying to accidentally smack my torches down while mining.

=====

11. Crafting higher tier items, especially ones with more rarer resources, grants you more XP. Similarly, cooking higher quality foods or with higher quality ingredients, grants you more XP.

Currently its better to craft a bazillion wooden shovels to raise crafting skill.

=====

12. Repairing or Salvaging items, grants crafting XP.

=====

13. Smelting ores and grabbing them, grants cooking XP.

=====

14. Killing an enemy without taking any damage grants a kill multiplier. The more enemies you kill without getting hit, grants more multiplier, with a separate multiplier for melee and for ranged. When you kill something immediately get some extra xp to melee or ranged and a bit to vitality. Those who are careful should be rewarded for it. Caps at 25x multiplier, so its not a massive loss when you get hit.

=====

15. Wielding the Slime Sword makes you immune to the slowing effect of slime. Yes I know there are a hard to acquire necklace and ring that provides that same effect, but it can be hard to find them, and you'd only be immune while the sword was actively equipped.

=====

16. Hold shift while mining or digging, to hit three squares immediately in front of you, to quickly dig trenches or tunnels.

=====

17. A way to convert walls to floors. ie Dirt Wall to Dirt Floor. Or just get rid of floor separate objects and just allow us to insert dirt walls into holes. It wouldn't help with deep chasms though.

=====

18. Eliminate the need to water the root plant once it reaches full maturity.

=====

19. Fix the bug where watered plants before saving, are now dry when you reload.

=====

20. Make it so that you can't accidentally tear up wooden floors unless using an appropriate tool. I put wooden floors all around my garden so that it doesn't get choked out by root plants and roots (as roots can't grow on wooden floors), but I constantly rip it up when I go to harvest my plants.

=====

21. Allow us to convert harvested plants that we have found into seeds. Would make it easier to get Carrock farms up and operational faster, as I rarely find Carrocks and thus the seeds naturally. And, it would mean that if we find a golden berry, we can convert it into a golden berry seed.

=====

22. With alchemy allow us to take a gold bar and a 6 of the same seed, and turn them into 3 golden seeds of the same variety. Gold is quite precious, but this gives another way of getting these seeds.

=====

23. Mushroom farms. They make good food and healing, and I'm constantly running out of them and they don't regrow naturally. At least not anymore (I seem to recall them doing so in dark places in the playtest).

=====

24. Spiders. I'm surprised, a deep dank cave, with lots of maggots around wouldn't attract a few spiders. Or maybe I've not encountered any yet...

=====

25. If you don't fish in a pond for a while, it eventually spawns a fishing spot. Especially useful for self-created ponds that I want to fish in.

======

If I think of anything else, I'll add them here.

More thoughts:

57] Composting = Compost organic stuff, with slime, to produce compost. Placing it on plants, causes them to grow 50% faster and produce double crops and seeds. Normal plants love compost, and grow faster and produce more when using it.

Then at a later game stage, you could create fertilizer from compost and say fiber. Which causes even faster growth and even more production.

And then you could grant more xp for gardening by using compost-grown plants or fertilizer-grown plants.

=====

58] If I place a NPC in a closed room, don't let them escape. I saw the bearded guy outside of his room, despite his door being shut. I don't want my NPCs wandering around and leaving the base.

=====

59] If I place a slime figurine in my self-built slime farm, how about increasing the spawn rate of slimes near that figurine. Because currently, even though my slime farm is 12 x 18 tiles in size, of pure slime tiles, fenced in, I still find more slimes naturally than in my created farm.

=====

60] Similar idea with maggots, have maggot figurines to encourage their growth.

=====

61] Let us find some kind of bird-like creature wandering the tunnels. Maybe a group of dodos wandered in and were too stupid to find their way back out. Then they adapted to underground life. Killing them would produce feathers and meat, and may produce eggs, so that you could grow your own cave dodos.

=====

62] If we are in a railway cart, and we drive into an enemy, we should kill it. A high speed impact with a railway cart would shatter the bones of most people.
its so funny look at all the "solo players" there steam level 0 and have no friend list... AT ALL LOL.... and thats all i have to say about those pathetic neck beards. go outside and u wont be a solo player anymore.....:steamsalty::steamsalty::steamsalty::steamthumbsup:
Some people just need an afk clicker game it seems. Then again the clicking would be to much for them (auto clicker app)

their profiles are private though you can't see if they have friends neither their level as it show as zero even if you have a higher level when your profile private and the 2 people who said their solo that have their profile open have friends and above 0 steam level.

also some people prefer solo it's just how we roll even if we have friends we just enjoy playing games alone and not everybody can arrange a long period of time to play with their friend so certain game they will haft to be played mostly or all solo even if they have friends to play with.

Having friends list doesn't really mean anything, nor does steam level.

I once had a friends list of 150 people, back when I played Left 4 Dead, but after I stopped playing it, because you can only do the same maps so many times before it gets dull, people just unfriended me.

Also, typically the most uber of solo players are ones with massive steam levels, rather than low steam levels, because they play games like 40+ hours a week.

63] If we have alchemy to make magical potions, what if we could pour those magical potions onto our plants, instead of watering them to produce weird and interesting results? Maybe the plant grows into a golden variant. Or it produces an ore. Or a monster. Each potion could thus have 5 "watering" doses, to water up to 5 plants. Every dose used, makes that potion 20% weaker if you drink it.

=====

64] Craft a slime floor with 4 slime, or convert slime floor into 2 slime, by salvaging it on the salvage bench.

=====

65] Craft hive floor with 4 fiber, or convert hive floor into 2 fiber, by salvaging it on the salvage bench.

=====

66] If the developer was interested, I could post my idea for a talent tree improvement.

=====

67] Plant a mushroom in tilled soil, and water it, and leave it in darkness. Then it periodically generates fresh mushrooms near it, while the water remains. Fungi like dark and damp areas, so this could be a way to generate mushrooms.

=====

68] Lit Railway Line. A lantern attached to the square of a railway tile that provides light and doesn't get attacked by worms.

=====

69] Ability to Invest in a Shopkeeper = Say an optional button that lets you dump 500 coins, that increases their stock quantity by double and they restock 50% faster.
I did find out from a video that ground slime can be converted into regular slime. It's further along in the game. Everyone, please keep ground slime!
Well late game isn't super useful. I've currently collected and stored two full stacks of slime, which is 999 each, before I got my first scarlet bar.

I've killed a lot of slimes, as you can tell. And my melee skill is only 27.

More thoughts:

69] Have the option to exit the minecart, while it is travelling. Why? So that you can force a minecart back to base, when you had to use a minecart to get back to your corpse and your first one was already near your corpse.

=====

70] Grant more xp per action, based on the tier of the tool. So harvesting crops with an iron hoe, would grant more gardening xp than if you did it by hand or with the copper hoe. Attacking enemies with a higher tier weapon does the same thing.

Then with this in mind, you could also have higher tier cooking pots or smelting pots, with higher tier resources. They could also cook/smelt much faster. That way you could benefit from this idea with cooking.

Then when you craft something from a higher tier workbench or anvil, the more XP you get. That way the speed of gaining levels is better, without touching xp requirements.

Running could be increased by wearing higher quality boots.

=====

71] Provide tabs to lower tier recipes, at higher tier crafting benches. So, have a button for a built workbench to upgrade it to the next tier with the required resources. That way, you could have a much smaller workshop, and still retain access to all recipes.

If this was done with 70 in mind, then crafting lower tier stuff on a higher tier bench, would not result in more xp.

=====

72] The ability to capture glowbugs. Maybe could use them to create orbs filled with the bugs, that worms ignore but still shed light. A low-tech way of providing light.

Or maybe you could use them as a reagent in alchemy.

=====

73] Attacking wire squares on the ground does not return wires to inventory. Found out that when I moved my drill and generator.

=====

74] Upgrade building object. An option to select a wall, floor, or fence, and upgrade them to the next tier. So wooden fence to stone fence, as an example.

=====

75] Trees in the Azeos biome cannot be damaged or removed.

=====

76] Adding extra drills to a large vein should increase drill rate exponentially. All those vibrations in the ore, would produce sub-harmonics that should shake it apart more easily. So, if the current drill does 60 mining damage, it could add a total of +10% damage per drill.

So if there was 6 drills on a vein, each drill would earn +60% mining damage. So normally they'd do 360 damage, but now they would deal 360 + 216 = 576 damage.

=====

I noticed that we don't turn a profit with food (unless the doubling perk kicks in a lot). I haven't looked at everything, but a Heart Berry is worth 1 coin. A Pepper is 6 coins. The heart pepper wrap is still 6 coins. Is this intended? If I want to make only money, it's better to sell crops as is but if I cook them for the skill, then sell, I'd level cooking a lot but lose out on the extra coin(excluding the food doubling).
I would like to see all things that are plants, mushrooms, fish, etc to respawn naturally, over time.
More thoughts:

77] Big cavelings can hit you on the otherside of a 1x1 wall. Why is this an issue? Well I found a caveling labyrinth, and these buggers were everywhere and kept smashing me through walls, and I couldn't fight back, as there is only a single correct pathway.

=====

78] Iron Veins are a very light purple color on the map. They blend in with the color of stone, so its nearly impossible to see them on the main map when you are looking for drill sites.

=====

79] It would be nice to place markers on the map. Whether this is by placing a sign post, and editing it to produce the marker, or maybe just put a post-it note on the main map with RMB. As it is, I often find areas I'm not prepared to explore but then when I try to find them later, I can't. Or I find a vein, like iron in stone biome, and I want to find it again, but again with 78, they blend in with the terrain.

=====

80] I'm working on a set of suggested changes for the talent trees and I'll post them in this thread when I'm done.

=====

81] I think the caveling labyrinth needs to be improved. Fighting cavelings in tight corridors is extremely difficult and I didn't feel the loot at the end of it was worth nearly dying 19 times (mostly from badly positioned shamans or a pesky brute that I had trouble bypassing). The place is way too dangerous to attempt in tin equipment, and even iron equipment is tough. There is just too many enemies in there and enemies like to enter the labyrinth from the entrance too, so I got sandwiched between reinforcements and brutes a few times. That wasn't fun. Suggested improvements:

-> Allow the walls to be damaged by Scarlet Pickaxe. Currently they are invulnerable.
-> Ensure that you get several rare items at the end. I got a broken handle, but I already had the broken handle so that was a letdown. I need the darn gemstone; only piece I'm missing.
-> Have two paths to enter the labyrinth. It is very difficult to find the one and only entrance.

=====

82] Suggested way to improve the fishing minigame:
-> Enter it immediately, rather than waiting to see if you get it or not.
-> If you fail to acquire a fish, the hook snags something else. So you always get something and always earn some xp.
-> Rarer fish gives more xp when caught, and you get some xp even if you fail to catch them.
-> Make the entire minigame animation bigger. I felt it was too small and thus never noticed any of the subtle indicators of when to not try to pull the fish, and thus kept breaking my lines.
-> Randomize the actions, so that the fish appears to be making random actions. Otherwise really good players that are great at spotting patterns will just focus on the pattern rather than the fish.

=====

83] I really think melee and ranged needs massive improvements. I'm at 30 melee, and I've killed well over 2,000 slimes (based on the fact that I have two full stacks of slime) and at least 1,000 maggots. Tougher enemies should give more XP, and using better tactics, such as avoiding taking damage or killing an enemy after blocking, should give more xp. As it is, melee is the slowest skill for me (besides fishing) to level up. I gave up on ranged as its damage doesn't scale well, takes forever to reload, and it is too easy to miss.
First talent tree done. The developer may want to tweak the numbers. My philosophy first (when looking at my talent trees and considering them):

-> These trees I'll release are with the current XP grind and talent scarcity in mind. So its still 1 talent per 5 sklll levels, so 20 maximum points.
-> Each talent costs 2 points to fully invest in them (instead of current 5). There are 13 total talents, so you could fully invest in 10 / 13 of them, so there will still be build variety.
-> Talent Tree will look roughly like:
----X-------------X----
---X----X----X----X---
---X----X----X----X---
-----X-----X-----X-----
-> I haven't decided on what branching paths should be there, so up to the developer to decide that.
-> I'll retain some of the talents and likely tweak them. The rest are replaced with ideas of my own design.

=====
