Unless bigger wagons were made, I think it would only be fair to have that 2x3 space, but that space would depend on how much crap you have in your wagon. Let's say you've got two tables stored in your wagon. If it were in a house or outside, you'd have the tables separate so you could actually use them, but the wagon's purpose is to store/move them, so they'd be stacked on top of each other, taking up less space and making them unusable. There could just be some generic sprite for a "stack of stuff", which might consist of, say, 5 liftable objects. Maybe the inventory area could be accessible even if you only have a 1x1 area left. It's amazing enough that the wagon can hold such an insane amount of stuff, so I think it would be too greedy to ask that you can carry all that stuff AND have a little living space seeing as that space in the wagon is solely for storing/moving stuff currently. Wagons shouldn't replace houses (not that houses are used much other than as cupboard storage)... or houses would need more meaning to compete with wagons.

With the stabby stabby thing, you shouldn't be able to move from one end of the wagon to the other if it's jammed up. For example, if just the 2 spots at the rear end are empty and you enter through there, you wouldn't be able to go to the front of the wagon and stab the driver.

Here's a thought - have space in the wagon equal to the number of big items in it minus the space taken up. For example, having to designate living space. That way, you can have as much or as little room as you'd like.

I'd really like to see bigger wagons only pullable by 2 or more horses to be honest, I can't wait.

Some sort of mega-luxury wagon? It'd be sweet if we could build one with an oven inside. Mobile home ahoy.

Need mobile claimage for it to really work but Imho this is quintessential to allowing people to travel together. I think it could be bigger than 2x3 because all it really is at that rate is room for 3 people to have a hearth. I mean...from a pragmatic standpoint since beds are a waste and tables are often shared.
