honestly and truthfully, this "update" is NOT balanced especially in "exploration" there flat out are not enough resources especially actually important ones like iron ect even managing to get iron is a massive chore and once you get "iron tools while not neigh on impossible ylandium they are inefficient ,ive not yet managed to find/craft an engine powered ship yet( due to extreme rarity of resources) but i have crafted a 4 masted "junk" anj i can say it is way way way too slow for its sailing speed i offer this wiki link to the "developers" to check out as well about sailing in general /naming conventions of created parts ofships.vessals..
also id like to see trimarans in the game hopefully as well as sleeker catamarans and possibly zodiacs, jon boats or even "fan boats" also a "barrel raft" would be nice
next is issues of "storage" we need additional "slots" on the player like a utility/tool belt , a pocket slots and of course a backpack that actually expands the inventory exponentially from a basic sack to a full proper leather or composite back pack , also some kind of wing system think like icarus flight or a glider and the ability to climb up and down trees /swing from ropes
also the "death" fall damage issue or lag due to some topology fall damage is a constant hassel, you should have the ability to respawn at the place you died rather than the last place you slept (spoiler yeah you can put a bed on a ship finally /thankfully but that bring its own problems /issues and with the underwater update so does the process of upgrading the diving gear as its not remotely clear
lastly is issues with "food" and hunger/saiety ive tried and tried to "cook" pizzas!! ive had the ingredients even wasted time /effort to build a house oven with glass and all and still cannot make a pizza !!
foods dont last long enough especially for a "survival" style game you can literally go a week without eating in real life but cant go 3 days without water the food needs a massive over haul esp considering the "size" of most the food items vs the hunger they fill../keep filled ..
