they should a a sandbox mode

it would be really fun to see a sandbox mode in the future where you can just relax and build a city

At one point, that was planned as something to be done after final release. Not sure if it is still in the plan, though. In the meantime, you can approximate a sandbox mode using the Aladdin's Lamp mod.

It is planned but for after release as far as I am aware.

Hmmmm. The game is currently a "relax and build a city" game.
What I would like to see, is more (much more) of a challenge attached to the game. Push/Force players to do much more.

There's mods for that, too at the moment. Go take a look at Batyushki's modpacks. As for the vanilla game, I'm pretty sure they have no plans to make it harder in any appreciable way.

Right. The modpack from Batyushki increases the level of difficulty. Perfect for me. Without it, I was easily bored after just 15 hours of playing. I hope that the difficulty can be optionally set by the player in the finished game.

Thank you, to the two posters above, in suggesting that I look into the mods by Batyushki. I asked previously in other threads, what recommendations other players had regarding making the game more difficult/challenging, but no one previously responded. I will now look into the mods/modpacks suggested here.

I only look for cosmetic additions to the game. I like adding game mechanics as well but I'm not looking for a harder game. I usually want to create a somewhat realistic village, so having 20 tailor workshop aligned is not really doing it for me.
I'd say a sandbox mod is needed for that exact reason, building without worrying about supply chain. I know it leaves a whole aspect of the game behind but for people who enjoyed the base game but wants an other experience, it would be great.

That being said, tweaking the building production amount using mods is a great way to achieve this, although people slowly stops working when all your granaries/warehouses are full... That's a bit problematic because I like to see them work :)
