new creatures and trees suggestions

This might sound redundant, but I would like to see squirrels running around conifer forests, they could act like rats and could be made into squirrel on a stick just the same way as rats.

We could also have new trees like pears, just use the apple tree as template and change it slighlty so that the red aples are now yellow.

Also, new insects would make the game more life-like, like grasshoppers, fireflies, beetles, butterflies...

Also, these insects could be spawned depending on the hour of the day, grasshoppers during the day, fireflies during the night and such.

I know implementing these would need some work on the grafics for each, but im sure some like the pears would be quite easy to make.

Fireflys would be cool at night, even if you can't pick them up.

Yeah, and if we could pick them up they would be great for fishing lures, maybe they could fish special kinds of fishes.

Crickets would also be nice, a little cric cric sounds at night when they are near would be really cool.

What characteristics do you think the pear should have? Should it give FEPs (unlikely since no other trees do), should it be an ingredient in foods such as... pear pies, perhaps? Is that a thing?

Caramelized pears > pears with honey and dough

they probrably should be like any other fruit, no FEPs, but they could be used as igredients for a pie, like apple.

Pears...they are a rather useful fruit in cooking. They can take on many flavors depending on what you add with them. As for FEPS they should act like all harvestable trees.

Yeah, I like all of those ideas, except maybe squirrels on sticks, lol, butterflies would be lovely, you could have rare ones as curios. I've always thought the game could use more insects. We would need some more types of flowers to go along with the butterflies, as an added bonus, and be able to craft a butterfly net.

[Arcanist]

If we have butterflies we'd also need to be able to have metal pins so we can have butterfly collections.

Also, I find it weird that the only bird in the entire game is the chicken, I would love to see wild birds flying around, maybe owls at night, and I would personally love to hunt wild turkeys and domesticate them!

Birds are easy to draw, just make a white one and then change colors and give different names to quickly make a wide diversity of them.

These birds could all drop a single kind of food item like the meat dropped by all animals are the same, except with different colors and a small icon.
