List of personal issues/needs with DST that I would like to see addressed to make me want to play the game again seriously.

• Expanding existing biomes, both hostile and non-hostile creatures. Make the world feel more alive. 
• More islands in the Ocean that are dangerous to explore but rewarding to plunder.
• Weather Effects could get worse as time goes on. (Likely not even appearing until Year 2 or 3 to not punish learning players too much)
• Food balancing (both acquisition and values)
• Making Enlightenment actually a negative that doesn't require you to have finished the Lunar Arc. (Gestalts only make you sleepy, seriously where's the danger in that?)
• Armor and Weapon value balancing (Good balance for example is Football Helmet compared to the Cookie Cutter Cap)
• Clothing and Thermal Stone Balancing (Good Balance is Tam O' Shanter effects/insulation value compared to the Beefalo Hat effects/insulation value)
• Non-optional bosses (Either change existing ones or add new ones, good example is Greater Depths Worm and Antlion)
• Skill Tree balancing (namely to make important abilities/items baseline while keeping Skill Trees entirely passive numerical bonuses aside from Picking Lunar or Shadow)
• Crank up difficulty of everything the longer the years go on, maxing out at like year 5 or 10 depending on how crazy you want. (Let it be a deliberate choice when making your world!)
• More World Generation/World Settings options. We got things to make it easier, but not much to make it harder.
• Make the player feel like Prey, not the Predator again.

Apart from making the world harder based on time, which instead should be, in my humble opinion, based on progression,

THIS THIS THIS THIIISSSSSSSSSS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is a list of identifying problems and needed changes, I am not offering solutions. "Players are great at identifying problems, but horrible at fixing them." - Someone, sometime, it stuck with me.

Я бы хотел выращивать новые культуры, с тех пор как я выращивал последние, прошло 4 года, и было бы неплохо добавить больше контента для фермы

We need Aloe and Sweet Patato

i heard a version of this back in the early 2010's and it has been a grounder for keeping perspective for me when i a) want to make a suggestion based wholly on my desires independent of the practicality of the situation and b) when others do the same and their suggestions are all vibes
