Quality of life features they added to ASA
A few of the QoL they added I like are:
being able to pick up structures as long as they are undamaged or repaired you can pick them up no more 30sec timer.

wireless irrigation/no more pipes: intake pipes now act like tek generators and have a range bubble, everything inside it is irrigated. will make it harder to bring water to top of mountains now with no pipes tho.

new drop pods loot: you now get crops, jerky, stews with drops, I got a wooden tree platform from a blue drop.

click drag scrolling: for ppl that have a harder time using a mouse scroll wheel just clicking on the background of say the engram screen and moving the mouse up and down will scrolls now.

anyone else have new QoL features they liked?

Being able to track / pin a crafting item's resource costs, track your dinos, change walls into doorways / windows when placing them. The map overlay is useful as well... there's lots of little changes that are definitely welcomed.

Torches burn significantly slower now. I have 70 wood in one torch and the estimated burn time is over 2 irl days.

Also it tells you how long it'll burn for.

I struck gold on a red drop. Got an industrial grill, grinder, and forge. I was literally on a mountain grinding for obsidian and metal to craft and saw a drop not too far off in the snow. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Some of the QOL improvements really are great. We haven't had any problem getting water up on the mountain if you use water tanks. It seems to rain enough so there is always plenty of water for our farm with plenty always flowing on reserve.

It's not really a feature a per se but the building is much better. I would definitely call it quality of life though because I can make a structure way easier than I used to be able to. Pieces place a lot easier and they don't seem to collide with each other like they used to. Although I'm going off memory because I haven't played it ASE in quite a while.

And the aforementioned picking up objects without penalty, is amazing!
