    1. Being able to right click to interact with items and the environment.
    2. Not requiring the mouse point in the direction you want to run in, can't tell you how annoying it is to be running backwards more often than I'd like.
    3. The ability to choose your beam down color. (More of a personal flair than a necessity.)
    4. The option to Delete a character.
    5. I'd personally like to custom configure my command bar to better suit my style of play.

    The reason you can't right click to interact with stuff is because you can equip items to both of your hands (when your not using a two-handed item, many of which have different effects for left and right click anyway). For example, when mining or placing blocks, left click affects the foreground while right click affects the background. I don't see what's so bad about using the E key.
    So you would prefer your character to rotate their arm on a 360 degree pivot?
    Not sure what you're getting at here.

    New list of items and changes.

    1. Planet side and underground maps.
    2. Scanning tools. (Sonar, Radar, Mineral locators, ect.)
    3. Mining tools such as Drills, Augers, Explosives, Machinery.
    4. Machines like elevators, conveyors, generators, pumps, piping, wires, switches, ect.
    5. I'd like to suggest a new type of vehicle, Flying Vehicles such as helicopters, planes, or shuttle craft.
    (Note that some of these may become available later in the game.)

    Drills are already ingame, they just need to be balanced(They're pretty crap at the moment).

    No, I'd rather they walk facing the direction there moving in, like most side scrolling games. In almost every other side scroller, the character only faces backwards when they're performing some kind of action.

    Uh, their comments were actually constructive? Just because someone doesn't agree with your assessment doesn't mean they aren't being constructive.

    You're asking for a lot of "custom" work. There are so many more bugs right now than anything before they look at custom work for people.

    Delete character option is the only one I need.
    The mouse pointing you get used to. I already got used to it.

    Most of this stuff your listing has already been requested, and much of it from what I can tell is already in the coding process. Such as but not limited too:

    hovercrafts, mechs, maps sonar scanning things, and your spaceship sorta flys :p there are also jet packs and grappling hooks and such.

    Nice, they implemented point #2. >_<

    It still makes you run top speed backward if you have a weapon/pick equipped, though. Actually I think anything you can 'use' or 'swing' makes you face the direction your mouse is in regardless of the direction you're moving.
