Sup.
Would be nice to have a way to use up some excess items without just destroying it or dumping in the ocean.
Suggest adding something like a "bear lure" or what have you. It could help attract a certain type of animal depending on the food used to create it. Chicken for bears, bear for crab... etc.. Then you could place it and it would help draw out the animal desires and increase its quality and challenge to kill. Maybe even randomly have an abnormally large and bountiful critter.
Let it require logical items to make like wood and meat and string for something like a crab cage.
Now for the sink. Make the item require a certain amount of quality to be built up to be used. For example it requires 1 million chicken meats quality to work. So you can throw 10 chicken meats of 1 million a piece or 1 million of 1 a piece and everything in between. So all stuff is useful in varying amounts.
