These are a bunch of ideas I came up with that I personally would like to see in the game at some point.
Game Mechanics:
-Farming
-Fishing
-Digging-Find worms for fishing. Treasure.
-Party System
-Smoother Animation
-Increase Decay timers- I don’t have the time to be on constantly just to keep my shelter there.
-Randomize Resource spawns
-New player safe time-Give new players a full 24hrs or something where they cannot be killed my a player character.(not sure about this one) Trying to find more ways to stop from getting ganked right away.
-Offline Mode
-Server Player Que
-Going out on a limb with this one but- Ability to Buy/Hire an NPC guard- Trying to find ways to help protect your belongings and life when you are sleeping.
-Have cloth crafted using cotton
-Loot all button
-Sort button
Environment
-Lakes
-Rivers
-More distinct Landmarks
-Biomes
-More cities
-Open up more of the map (Make survivable)-I think players are way to congested right now.
-Add more resource spawns (more variations)
-Unique rare mob spawns
-Caves-unique mobs and resources found here
-Berries-Edible and poisonous
-Sugarcane
-Wheat
Crafts
-Guns/Explosives- must be much much harder to craft/obtain. Requires complex and difficult items to make.
-More Melee weapons
-Different arrow types- Wood, stone, steel
-Compass
-Maybe have a map system like minecraft (I hate to refer to it) Where you use cloth and as you walk around, you map it out on your cloth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMG1ImJ17iM Adds realism to the game, if you were new to an area, you don’t magically have a trusty map to show you everything. You need to explore it first.
-Sundials-Placeable one, even a small watch version. To tell the time of day.
-Safes- Extremely hard to break open.
-Bicycles
-Wooden Signs
-Horses- Tame and mount.
-More light fixtures- Oil lamps/Tiki torches
-Traps!
-Furniture
-Backpacks-Extra inventory
-Chainsaw maybe-Hard to make, used to cut down trees. Extreme fast resource.
-Hidden storage-Hole in the ground with grass over top.
