I’m enjoying the harvesting/town-upgrade loop but I think it could be slightly simplified on the resource side by going from pine, spruce, etc. to just “lumber”. Pine trees give 1x, spruce 2x, and so forth. Same thing for ore. Refined boards and metals just require more of each resource to make. This keeps the enjoyable progression of getting more stuff with better tools and further exploration with a bit less inventory clutter and annoyance.
Also, as others have mentioned, it would be great to spend resources straight from the stash instead of running back and forth and taking photos of the screen to remember what I have.
