So I saw in the Spit'n'Polish update that "Chicken Coop now checks for straw before checking for thatching. This was apparently very important."
And to go along these lines I think it would be nice if dirt was prioritized over worms for dirt related items and stones were prioritized over Cat Gold.
Also Dirt over Stones for terraforming.
If anyone else has items they think should be prioritized comment below.
