Where did my time go?
What an amazing demo, the graphics are just good enough for my laptop to handle and still be pretty, the music is nice & chill. The game play is relaxing and easy to handle. no night rush, no losing everything when you miscalculate a jump and fall into the void. Almost all the building blocks fit well together, (just the unconnected tilled soil tiles and the roof edge pieces that need a roof to be placed so you can't use them decoratively) I love/dislike the snapping together of the building pieces, easy for basic building but if you want to get more creative and place stuff a bit more off-center it is impossible which dampens creativity a bit. (maybe a toggle function with a shortcut key?)

I have created the aircraft but can't fly it to save my life (no horizon, controls are not intuitive for someone who never plays flying games) which is very annoying (maybe in full game have the key binds for flying as separate settings.) I also have a serious sand shortage after destroying all the sandstone :'-(

I still haven't figured out how to unlock sprinklers and solar (if they're in the demo, I did see some comments mentioning them). so any help with this and finding more sand would be very much appreciated. (mama wants to build a "greenhouse")

Please streamline harvesting because moving with W harvesting with E and clicking to sow is very inefficient and cumbersome.

I sincerely hope that in the future we can paint our buildings (maybe even add diy graffiti? that would be unique)

the research bit is ok, but I believe it needs a bit more duration to it, (like in Factorio, planning researches, queing them and waiting for them to be completed feels more like researching than just extra material tax for 1st use. but if you do this don't put bare neccesities in research like food & drink & sleep)

Speaking of sleep love that you can work through the night, but also it would be nice that in a few nights of no sleep you get bad effects (more hunger/slower mining speed/more thirst/less health/bad weather.)

Also it would be nice to have a freecam function with screenshots for pretty screenshots.

All in all, what a great game and I've already spent 13h to the game, just farming and building. whilst listening to my series/audiobooks.

To get the demo solar panels, sprinkler, ect you need to fly to the one ship you can get to, the other islands you cant get to in the demo.
