Maybe also add tables and chairs that can only be placed on floors. When you eat at a table, you gain bonus hunger from the food you're eating.  The floor idea is good, because then no one could destroy the floor without removing the item attached to it.

Yes, definitely. I was trying to think of something about that clutter as well, but I couldn't come up with anything. You're on to something with buildings having more storage, but how though?

Oh, those are good ideas. The pens definitely need revamped for sure.

Also, one can dream for rain, right? It might happen someday if enough people ask for it.

I have played many hours of this game now, and one thing that I always notice is the lack of shelters in each "settlement." When their are buildings they are often crudely made or unfinished. I also have some serious problems with making sheep pens out of trash pits, and laying down planks as roads. I think we should come together to think of a few solutions to this problem. In real life, shelter is one of the first things you should worry about, so the game should not be any different. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying the game is bad. I just feel like its missing actual settlement building. I'm tired of the days of living and sleeping (I know we don't sleep) next to a forge in the middle of the woods.

Here are my ideas. First there needs to be an option to make dirt floors. That way, we remove the wooden roads problem, which is very annoying to me for some reason. If you could say, take some stakes and use a shovel on the floor option of the stakes, without requiring soil, it would give the ability to really flesh out the foundations of settlements very early game. This would allow settlements to look like real settlements, and then later on people could make stone roads instead.

I also think that fences should be easier to make, so people stop using trash pits. Either that, or make it so trash pits can always be walked over. Because sheep do not deserve to be trapped inside a wall of trash. That's just animal abuse.

finally, I think that shelters should be made more necessary in the game. Probably from adding certain weather conditions like rain, with a mechanic that makes you lose hunger fast or something. (This could also give rise to needing umbrellas too). With an added necessity for shelter should come with easier to build shelters. I'm not saying to change the shelters already in the game, but add new walls that are easier to build. These walls could be made from something like thatch, or even branches. The idea is quick shelters, so people will be able to build them early on.

So what are everyone's thoughts on this? I know other people have mentioned some of the things I said here, but I wanted to share my added opinions. Because I think these things are very doable, and should be done.
