    someone had this nice idea of simplly changing colors of dirt because that easily fills inventories with small amounts in different colors. and no one did it yet, so that is a pretty simple start. its mostly cosmetic yet helpful.

    more custom dungeons and sprites for furniture and wearable items. there is one dungeon editor and more to come.

    the planets lack water. we need pseudo oceans with islands by making many water sub-biomes that are protected by surrounding hard materials.

    I think it would be pretty easy to mod a tower-defense-game mod using a few simple npcs/spawners and structures. so far everything i thought of has already been done except meta-games like a simple multiplayer tower defense strategy game.

    There is a lack of ridable vehicles and pets, there are some pseudo-vehicles and i think there could easily be more like them for various purposes, including digging vehicles and stationary "vehicles" that act as elevator, power generator or container that can be moved.

    Techs. I simply love techs with new custom features. Lonesurvivor did a really great job at doing a ufo tech and a telekinesis tech.

    Improve the interface:
    - Id love to have it in highres, with the actionbar on the down of the screen
    - coordinates on the planet
    - coordinate bookmarks for the ship navigation
    - numbers on health/enegy
    - permanent hunger bar next to health/energy
    - extra slot for medipack, food and stim with seperate hotkeys

    Improve the storage system:
    Some kind of box where you put stuff in. Its attached via tunnels a programmable machine. That machine has a bunch of more tunnels leading to more crates. That machine sucks anything out of the inbox and puts in in the pre-programmed outbox. Eg: Put blocks into #1, furnace into #2. weapons into #n.

    How about a group of server commands that allow role-players to have dice rolls? Something that includes D4,6,8,10,12,20,100.

    The more variety between planets, the better. The longer I can go before I'm likely to see things repeat, the better.

    Everyone seems to have forgotten about texture packs, that's one of the most important ones! In order to rekindle your interest in the game when you finally get bored of it(which probably is hard).

    If a texture pack is enough to rekindle your interest in the game it probably won't stay rekindled very long.

    Personally I'd just like to see a mod that added rebindable keys...Although that may be difficult.

    • Higher Health Regen for Beds - Beds are non-combative and should provide a more efficient Health Regen Boost.
    • More Smelters/Refinery Tiers - Allowing for faster and more efficient Smelting/Refining (Receive more Ingots/Pixels)
    • Higher Ore Ratio - Higher Tier Ores requiring a higher Ratio than 2:1, Gold should be 3:1, Platinum should be 4:1, Diamond should be 6:1
    • Induction Smelter - Instead of using Coal + <Ingot> to create Alloys
    • Generators - Which provide power to Lights, Doors, etc.
    • Craft Gun Parts - To create a randomised Gun
    • Craft basic Ranged weapons such as Spears and Javelins
    • Medical Equipment - Higher Tier Bandages, Medbags, Medkits.
    • Automation - Smelting and Storing Ores/Ingots/Food (Through Worker Drones/Villagers)

    I dont like mods, the only thing i care about is play the game Vanilla at multiplayer, but for multiplayer it matter me a lot of the server have protection system for your stuff like Ship and Chests, also some protection zones, but i dont think that this is possible yet, too bad because is the only thing that i want.

    (Btw a mod for delete characters could be useful for us until they release that in the game...)

    In the recent patch it said something about server, but i havnt found more details about it. I wonder if you could make an tech that locks the state of item as chests or blocks

    Thanks. I have plans for some more tech stuff to add some movement/combat mechanics into the game. I would also like to see more mods like that from other modders, there are not that many at the moment.
