Moon Shards to be useful, not replaced

[ADM]

I'd wish to make some more global "first impression" of this beta but unfortunately there has been no impression for me to have at all, everything looks like it is severely subject to evolve through not just the beta but a larger series of updates, and to that there is no real complain for me to have, most certainly this is a lot of work so that should instead invite excitement for what is ahead.

But well I can only wait and see for the new forge's item to serve any goal in hopes it's not again one of those equipment that are generally bad except when used for [very specific purpose] as they look like so far, similarly to what the Pick/Axe is becoming as of lately instead of getting buffed, or the generally not inviting Rift event where coming back every few days and not getting involved at all is the best to do.
That's where I'm expecting things to be done here, I'm not worried or anything.

Where I'm seriously out of hopes though, is about that repetition of getting a new Moon Glass item. I get it, it's just like Nightmare Fuel getting its Dreadstone and Pure Horror evolutions, we had Infused Shards so a third item was missing... but honestly unlike the fuel who got all it needed I don't want any of this while the old Moon Shard item has so much cobwebs growing on it. That resource has plenty cool methods to be farmed, is just generally laying everywhere from defeating the Champion and has practically no use at all that anyway might just be replaced, why was all of that done for ? I'm just here begging for something to be done for this item, even by modding the hell out of this resource trying to make it useful it still haunts my storages and lureplants, I just have too much and feel bad for it after all what was established.

Now that there are anyway going to be better tools / weapons / armors, if having more crafts from it isn't gonna happen, then it can still be of some uses for its successor. Such as refining it in the forge as a repair material for the new equipments, I don't think that having good durable tools in Don't Starve or materials to serve lasting purposes is any problem so... that or something, just give Moon Shards a chance.

What would be great is to finally add the missing moon glass tools like shovel, pickaxe, hammer, fork, and hoe, and potentially armor and helmet (and also golden hammer). So we can finally get the all the tools from each materials.

How about moon glass walls? Moon glass lanterns that burn with a bigger radius ? The spyglass! There's so much stuff that could be added to really make the moon tier stuff feel comparable to the shadow tier things without outright competing.

Fragile, but fancy and very durable against shadows, which can't phase or teleport through them and need to destroy them to pass?

I wish we could also get marble walls.
