Yea, i do not understand this. Not only convenient for players, especially ones that RL prevents play of any kind for a time. They can return to their builds and stuff as they left them with exception of portals.
Revenue impact angle it really would make sense. I mean how many people leave <$10/month on renew “just in case” for 6+ months. Same with world fuel… why not allow for an auto option.
I think I’d have to put a blueprint with auto-build feature at the top of the list, having been very addicted by it in another game I play. Would allow those of us who aren’t great builders but want nice stuff to quickly build, then edit the results to our tastes (I’m imagining it like a beacon you feed mats into). Would give an economic niche to pure builders on selling, would allow for quick moves of builds, and also make repetitive parts of large builds easier.
Closely following would be a bunch of furniture - beds, bookshelves, couches, ect., stuff to fill out builds, make them more like homes.
One smaller thing that I think could be done more quickly and I consider very important - a way to toggle off people on your friends list being able to warp to you. I’ve encountered more than one issue with this now that caused me to cut short play sessions, and has made it so I’m very hesitant to accept new requests.
I want damage then i ll Take a damage gum
I want Cruz i ll Take crit gum
I want Dura then i ll Take a Dura gum …
And nothing ealse Pops Up after using this Special gum i took.
So there would n t be a waste of Material s and forging would be great for everyone .
An easier life for crafting stuff.
Filling multiple machines is such a pain. Clicking the same button 30 times. Urghs.
Just allow us to fill up the whole queue as much as possible with less clicks. (every craft kind (single/bulk/mass) with a “single” and “all” button)

A simple mechanic feature like Minecraft’s pistons, wiring and levers. I don’t expect or wish for too much and it doesn’t need to enable us automation or clocks. I just want to be able to trigger stuff from different locations and/or hide passageways.
Forging without being RNG. I love being able to forge in general but the way how the RNG works is super annoying and turns off many players from using that feature at all.
I’m intrigued because this idea as a thread pops up every now and then, and I’m just now realizing my answer now is very different than it was years ago.
The game has changed and evolved so much! I used to look forward to things like chiseled blocks, a wider array of colors, farming, etc. So many things that I have waited for have come. Its actually pretty cool to look back on.
As an early access player one thing that has always been in the back of my mind has been Titans. And I’ve never asked for them personally because I’ve always been waiting on things that I feel are more basic, like chiseled blocks. But now I am actually finding myself feeling like not just I, but the game, is ready for more end-game type content.
I know there are lot of other things other people may consider “basic” like furniture and I get that. No argument here. I’m just starting to feel like there is enough in this universe to justify more of an end-game.
Especially after this next update with shields and swords, I think I’m going to really, finally going to be itching to fight a big bad boss. Bring on the Titans.
On a similar theme, it would be good if you could toggle a ‘currently busy’ display which pinged a message to the world chat letting the person know you don’t want to be disturbed if they get close enough and don’t want to go and look at their build or give them a tour of your base at the moment.
I don’t mind a wee chat, but some people have no concept of social boundaries and when you say that you’re busy it’s not a joke. Yes, I’m sure their build is amazing, but I’m currently trying to chisel a complicated shape while hanging from the roof by a grapple!
In the same vein of the “busy” status, I’d love an overhead icon whenever I’m typing, like a speech bubble with “…” inside it, animating dots.
Mainly because I otherwise wouldn’t be able to tell if someone is typing, or if they’ve gone AFK.
