Would also be nice to be able to buy some of the items as gifts for others. Like flowers and other decorations
Let's try and keep the thread on its topic, please. Best not to hijack someone's suggestion thread with several different (sometimes unrelated) suggestions of your own - it only muddies things up and makes responding (by the devs) more awkward and difficult.
Enhancements to the UI is something we've always wanted, because the existing UI is pants. Boils down to dev time, and priorities.
Enhancements to placement system is the same... we want it, it takes work, and there are only so many hours in the day, and so many hands...
Things like useability of items as storage has also been on our radar since forever, but there are a few minor issues with stockpiling and potential for abuse, which I won't go into, which have rendered that slightly lower priority than perhaps I'd like. Bottom line is, I'd like a fully functioning kitchen where you can craft food, of a quality related to your skillset, up to a certain maximum - but we do have to think about things like restaurants and other shops, and leave them something to do (or else what's the point in having them). Play balance is the key, and that is a long slog. But we're aware, and share the same goals.
Gifts - nothing to stop you buying items and giving them away, but I'm guessing you're talking about a more complex system of being able to LEAVE gifts for someone. At the moment, you'd have to use the gift/present emote (can't remember which box it is) to fake it, which means being there, and cueing the recipient into which item is supposed to be inside. To make it into an actual 'gift box with a thing inside' is not something that's currently on our priority radar, but it's a nice idea. Who knows, maybe one day, but it'll depend on the devs liking it too, and having time. It's probably going to be a tad bit 'less used' than some other features, I'd say, so it's all about priorities and available time, as always.
Right - that's all the tangents addressed (I think. Bad luck if not... start a new thread, if you still have suggestions for other spin-offs or ideas).
As for the furniture list, that's great.
@George Harrisnow has a target list we can examine and take decisions on from there. Thank you
@Summerfor digging out the propnames and compiling a list, and
@Queeniefor raising it in the first place.
No ETA on delivery times, of course. It'll get done when it's done. Good luck George
