This is just a collection of ideas and thoughts ive had about the game since playing it. I will break everything up into groups to better clarify my ideas. Please if you have any thoughts on these ideas or additions let me know. Thank you.
Base Building
Base Building is an important part of the game and i think the variety is lacking. It doesnt seem fully flushed out which is fine considering the development phase of the game and i have no problem with that these are just my ideas and im sure some of this is probably already in the works. Pebblet
Walls
Roofs
Triangle Pieces
Palisades
Stairs
Doors
Windows
Clay
Walls
Roofs
Triangle Pieces
Palisades
Stairs
Doors
Windows
Wood
(A New material maybe gathered by chopping branches or saplings. This could be processed by a new workbench like a saw table which could require parts from a new enemy. (maybe the blades of a praying mantis. Alternatively maybe we make a saw from those blades to cut down wood from a resource.))
Walls
Roofs
Triangle Pieces
Palisades
Stairs
Floors
Doors
Windows
Crafting
Decorations
Weapons Rack (Like the clay Dummy but for Weapons)
Couch
Alternative Light Sources (Something that may specifically attach to fences)
Tools Rack (Like the clay Dummy but for Tools)
Meal Prep
Water Filter (Could be connected to a larger water source and then must be connected to a sink to provide a more permanent water source)
Sink (^)
Refrigerator (To store cooked foods to add more value to foods cooked on fire instead of everyone just using jerky and acorn bits) (Could be a cool way to introduce a resource like ice the fridge may require a new piece every few days and thus keep the player more active in the daily activities of the game)
Stove (Allow the player to use other parts of the bugs in recipes thatd provide other buffs than just food some may hydrate, damage buffs, temporary health buffs, etc)(Would open up a whole cooking storyline and different recipes and they could be stored in a fridge)
Cook Book (This would reveal new recipes as players discovered them and can use as a reference for cooking)
Utilities
Sap catcher should be able to hold more than one sap
Saw Table (Previous Reference Wood) (Could also be used to break apart bug parts that may have other uses once broken down)
Catapult (It would be cool to fling myself across the map and use my glider to float down to safety)(Death if not deployed lol)
Campfire (This is more than a light source...Id suggest the ability to put materials in it thatd have different effects. Maybe use lily wax as a natural bug repellent for like 10 feet or something, or put in bug parts as a natural bug lure and the different part could lure different bugs) (This could add variety to fighting and players activity during the night)
Wood Pallet (To store previously referenced new material)
Clay Pit (To store large amounts of clay in instead of needing to use chests)
Pebble Quarry (Store all your pebbles in)
Juice Collector (Similar to the Sap collector but punctured into the Juice Box for Juice)
Dye Station (Maybe add a new set of mobs or resources that can be turned into dye that could be used on buildings or armor)
Kiln/Furnace (Could be used with clay to make specific items giving more purpose to clay)(Could also be used with sand)
Armor/Weapons/Gear
(Some of the gear in the game isnt fully flushed out itd be cool to maybe make complete sets of armors like the Aphid, Weevil, Mite and Bird Feathers Personally i think there should be gear for every mob in the game) Genuinely i think the idea of having a special ability maybe even if its just associated to certain armors from certain bugs would be a cool idea for the game.
Some Ideas
Night Vision Goggles
Higher Tier versions of the same Armor Like Ant armor LVL 3 that give 10 carry capacity
More specific abilities or buffs granted with each armor set when worn in full (Example each ant armor grants plus 1 carry capacity but when worn in full its plus 5 totaling 10 carry capacity) (Or if there was Gnat armor maybe it gives you small wings for a light double jump) (Bee Armor could have a damage enemies on hit effect when attacked)
More fully body Armor
Armor Dyeing
Character Clothing (This could be through a cosmetic store through micro transactions i wouldnt care itd be cool to stand out)
Food Pouch (Could be used to hold food instead of taking up inventory space like a canteen)
Bigger Backpacks (Craft able, Swappable, Customizable) (I wanna put the team on my back)
Stackable Throwing Weapons (Small Knives, Shuriken, Axes, Spears) (Specifically Disposable throwing weapons as disposable as an arrow)
Throws weapons should have more of an effect maybe my spear when thrown causes the bug to be stuck for a bit if its against a wall
Fire Arrows
Binoculars
New types of gliders (Maybe one made from berry Leather or a bugs wings)
New Bugs
Praying Mantis
Firefly (Armor lets you be your own light source in and out of water)
Bees
Pill Bugs
Beetles
Water Striders (Make Armor that lets you stride on the water)
Horse/Green/House Flys
Crickets (Can jump really high)
Mosquitoes (Vampiric effect with armor on)
Butterfly's
Dragon Flies
Black Ants (They could be used for World events with the red ants and go to war with each other) (could also be used for a seperate armor set of black ant armor and red ant armor maybe even a combo so players can stay neutral)
Wasps (Very Scary)
Queen Bee (Bee Hives baby, Honey, Honey Comb, Honey Nut Cheerios)
Scorpions (Credit: Dgrim)
Caterpillars (Credit: Dgrim)
Centipedes (Credit: Dgrim)
New Animals
(Alot of these may be more worth while in world event type situations)
Squirrel
Owl (At Night)
Dog and a Dog house
Skunk
Fox
Stray Cat
Snakes
Pets and Taming
(Using Spider Web to capture Bugs and Tame them)
Aphids (Could find me Nectar or aphid Honeydew)
Weevil (Could Smell out danger)
Gnat (Could help find resources)
Ant (Could Carry stuff)
Soldier Ant (Fight or Move Fast as a mount)
Lady bug (Carry Stuff and good protection moves slow)
World Events
Sprinklers (Flooding)
Neighbor Kids throw a ball into the yard
Lawnmower (Cuts some grass very Dangerous)
Bug Raids (The bugs get aggravated in the yard and very hostile)
Weather (Seasons and maybe the weather is reflected)
Dog Playing in the Yard 9Might keep a certain area off limits or if your brave enough to go you can get a specific item only during that time)
Resources
Sand (Could be used to make glass maybe to stop gnats or other bugs that fly from getting in your windows)
Ice (This could be used in the fridge "Previous Reference") (this could probably be implemented through a split cooler in the backyard may require a special armor to hold off the cold weather maybe a mite fuzz armor...fuzzy armor)
DLC/Purchasable Content
Different Characters/Kids to play as
Different skins or outfits to wear as those characters
Different Scab or backpack styles
Let me know what you guys think or if you have any ideas or differing opinions about what ive mentioned and why i appreciate hearing from you all thank you.
