This game is really cool and has a lot of neat concepts. the build tools are complex, but give you a lot of control. blueprints exist already, and that is huge. the game is already great, but my biggest asks would be: 1) multiplayer, 2) expanding on/improving the cool concepts that it already does. 3) maybe a bit more cause and effect? lightning storm strikes tree, lights in on fire, fire spreads or doesnt based on…

Exactly the kind of voxel game I was looking for. I haven't played that far in but it's fun mechanically, especially that repairing equipment is easy. It's also cool being able to make a very detailed home. I was able to figure out pretty much everything from using the tutorial and looking at the info in the crafting section.

I can see this becoming good but my biggest problem is the crafting. having to put items on the floor is cute for 5 minutes but becomes my main antagonist the more you play. I just want a crafting UI.
