Wishlist for future updates

[crow]

So I really like the new update, mistmare is awesome and has a lot of potential. Harvest horse as a perk alone has given me some other ideas about what could be added to the game and it's got me thinking about things I'd like to see added to the game. Here's a few of my hopes for future updates. This list is going to be less about content (characters, locations, quest) and more about features.

- Auto feeders, these exist in real life (at least for chickens) and it would save a lot of time. Just let me supply my animals with several days worth of food so I don't have to worry about it everyday.

-Sprinklers, obviously a lot of people want these, but since you get a well on your property I think the devs could make it more interesting by having the player set up irrigation pipes or something along the lines. Huge farms right now are a pain, and irrigation could really help with that.

-A cart for mistmare: I mentioned that I really like mistmare and the harvest horse perk: riding through the fields and harvesting crops en masse is pretty satisfying. Picture this, if you will: a plow you can hook up to mistmare to how the ground in a wider area super fast, a harvester to harvest grown crops in lines of three instead of one. a cart to carry more stuff around with you in town. Instead of mistmare disappearing when you dismount, she waits for you with her cart, maybe takes a little snooze. Alternatively, you could put these plows on certain farm animals like cows or mules. I just think it adds flavor.

-More mistmare customization. Letting the player change mistmare to appear like other animals is fine, but it feels a little weird to me. I'd rather the game just let me change mistmare herself in more sublt ways, maybe change her hair or color, put hats/clothes directly on her. Etc.

-A water mount. Maybe Mistmare gets a perk that turns her into a hippocampus or a kelpie when she jumps in the water. I just would like fish in some of the harder to reach spots and a water mount would really open the flood gates of possible content (underwater area, maybe?)

-Fish traps. Fishing is an inherently slower task, you have to find fish, cast in the proper location, wait for the fish to bite, and then real it in. That's fine, only it feels like you get roughly the same amount of xp for catching a fish as you do for harvesting a crop, which is a problem. Fish are also just not that valuable, which combined with the other stuff, makes fishing seem like a bit of a waste of time compared to literally anything else. In comes the fish traps, craftable boxes that allow you to catch fish passively. You could craft several of these and harvest them once a day. Suddenly, fishing feels like less of a chore to level and it's way more profitable and less energy intensive.

-The museum. This is my biggest ask, though I think it is something that the devs want to do. I would really, really like museum exhibits like animal crossing that I can visit so I can see the work I've put into completing it. Just today I caught a fish that I thought looked really cool and my first thought was "can't wait to see that at the museum" because I was so into it that I forgot that wasn't a feature. The museum in new leaf was the reason I played that game for so long, it was just so atmospheric and nice to see the fruits of my labor. That being said, I know this is a huge task, so i don't think it will happen anytime soon.

What are some of y'alls wishlist features?

[Windmill]

Multiplayer

[SH0RT_R1BZ]

MULTIPLAYER.

Auto feeders and sprinklers.

Your museum ask would be amazing but does seem difficult and I would prefer other features and QOL updates instead.

[rapidsfinesse]

I want a Mana potion on sell in the market, for rain spell every day. And spell for petting all animals with one button.

[poppetshadow]

Auto feeders in each barn/coop from a chest I can stock.

Sprinklers (at least 3x3).

A simpler mount/dismount button.

Some sort of high-end bug tracker tech.

Faster swimming and the ability to jump on small islands and over water rocks?

More outdoor paving/fencing options (decor).

Also I need more slots for character outfit. I want to have tabs for Winter/Spring/Summer/Fall outfits. So we can go to the season tab and select the outfit there and then quickly switch outfits from season presets with one button wthin this tab. Because 8 slots are not enough for me for all seasons.

Because for each season we might have pant and skirt outfit, outfit for dates, pajamas outfit, royal outfit, swimming suit, weird outfit with monster hats, etc.
