Since some people in this forum think the current world is too big and they want a smaller world I think there should be just more travel possibilities because explorers and people without mines would just have a boring life in a smaller world.
So here are a few ideas:
-Bridges:
Obvious what I'm trying to say here, I just want the possibility to make bridges over a river. Offcourse this shouldn't be too easy because it's super efficient!
There should be 3 kinds of bridges: a wooden, a stone and a metal.
The wooden bridge should decay really fast because it would be annoying when there would be a lot of bridges all around the world.
The stone bridge decays much slower, but is way harder to build and doesn't cost much to repair.
The metal bridge simply just doesn't decays cause it's really hard to build.
-Carrying both!:
There should be a possibility that 2 characters can carry the same item at once with the effect of them to have the possibility to walk in stead of crawl with an item above their heads.
-Hot air balloon:
You should be able to craft a hot air balloon which flies all over the country without even once having to stop!
This should offcourse cost a lot of fuel which you can carry inside the balloons basket. You can only enter the balloon with 2 persons else it won't start flying.
If I come up with more ideas I'll tell you guys, but that's it for now.
