I agree. One thing I’d add is that the game overall requires a lot of unnecessary running back and forth. I wrote a bit about this ([What If You Could Research, Cook, and Store Items Right at the Stove? (UX)](https://forum.norestforthewicked.com/t/what-if-you-could-research-cook-and-store-items-right-at-the-stove-ux/23415/2)).

Another thing I don’t understand is why I have to manually carry processed materials around. All materials—planks, fabrics, everything. Why can’t they just stay stored at the place where they were crafted or processed?

I also agree with your point about bombs… [Are bombs really popular in the game?](https://forum.norestforthewicked.com/t/are-bombs-really-popular-in-the-game/23410)  
Edit: On the other hand, I see bombs as an experimental feature that can still evolve, so I don’t really mind.
