Feedback sandbox
The following is a list to sort and organize suggestions, ideas and feedback before sending it back.

Controls: Crouch and crawl
While standing still, press down: While couching: While crawling
 * Over a platform: Jump down.
 * Over a solid surface: Crouch. The character is now 2 tiles tall, 2 tiles long.
 * Press up to stand up.
 * Press jump to stand up and jump.
 * Press Left or right to walk while crouching, the character moves 33% slower.
 * Press down again to crawl (or jump down if over a platform). The character becomes 1 tile tall, 3 tiles long.
 * Press up to crouch.
 * Press jump to stand up.
 * Press left or right to crawl around. The character moves 66% slower.

New mechanic: degeneration effects
They damage health over time, weakening the target, instead dealing direct damage.
 * Types:There are two kinds of degeneration:
 * Toxin. Dealt mostly by bugs in the jungle, but also by black jellies and goblin thieves. It doesn't deal damage, instead, it reduces the maximum health. The character's skin takes a greenish tint and have green flare sparks coming from them (like the molten armor, just green), and the hearts slowly turn orange, then yellow and then green one by one. Each green heart is 20 maximum HP 'lost' to toxin, 1 health is trapped like that each second. Green hearts are 'hijacked' by the toxin and can't be healed until the toxin is removed. When there's no more hearts to turn green, you die. When the effect is over, the green hearts become empty, and they must be healed.
 * Contagion. Dealth mostly by purple slimes, zombies, and enemies from the corruption biome. Much slower, but harder to remove. Spreads to other players and NPCs when the sprites touch. NPCs and characters with contagion have a purple tint in their skin, and have a purple corruption spark effect coming from them (like the oen from the shadow armor, but brighter). Deals damage equal to 1% of maximum health each second in players, and up to 5 damage for other monsters. No hit damage numbers being show, instead, health goes down like when drowning, and all red hearts turn purple.
 * It is possible to have both contagion and toxin at the same time, in which case hearts turn from purple to green instead from red to green.
 * The effects don't stack, and can't be applied again until they are removed. You can't deal another 200 seconds of toxin to someone that is already poisoned.
 * Removal.
 * Both effects go away on their own after 200 seconds, or if the character dies.
 * There are currently two flowers randomly spawning in grass and clay pots. They would become available to gather. Blue ones would be named 'lilies' and purple ones 'violets'. Lilies are used to craft 2 antidote(2 bottle + 2 gel + lily, removes toxin) and violets to craft 2 antiviral (2 bottle + 2 gel + violet, removes contagion). Flowers in grass have a 100% chance to drop a flower when cut, but flowers in pots have only a 33.333...% chance.
 * Exploitation
 * Players can apply toxin and disease to their projectiles and weapons.
 * Projectiles:
 * 5 Poison arrows: 1 Hornet stinger + 15 arrows.
 * 1 Disease arrow: 1 Vile mushroom + 4 arrows.
 * 10 Toxic bullets: 1 Hornet stinger + 30 bullets.
 * 5 Corrupted arrow: 1 Vile mushroom + 20 bullets.
 * Weapons:
 * 10 Toxin vials: 1 hornet stinger + 2 bottle + 2 gel.
 * 5 Contagion vials: 1 hornet stinger + 2 bottle + 2 gel.
 * Use the vials, and your melee attacks (with both weapons and tools) will deal toxin or contagion the next 20 times they hit. Only one of each works at the same time. IT would be denoted by a green or purple drop icon on the screen and a number next to it.

New mechanic: Weather
Weather affects areas, not the entire map, the sky changes when entering an area with a different weather. Only surface areas are affected.
 * Sunny area - The sun gets brighter, and there are no clouds - Grass and trees grow faster if the previous weather was rain. Water slowly disappears.
 * Rainy area - Water slowly increases. Corruption spread is slowered.
 * Cloudy area - Default. Nothing special happen, just like now.
 * Snowy area - Freezes dirt and mud in the area. Corruption spread is hastened.
 * Stormy area - Random lightning strikes hit the area. They kill monsters like the fallen stars. They also destroy all dynamite can destroy, but in a thin line. Players can make lightning rods from iron and place them in their houses to prevent this.

New mechanic: Endurance
Endurance limits how much time one can continuously use tools.
 * Endurance partially replaces the time it takes to use lesser tools. Lower-end tools won't be as slow as they are now but consume more endurance, better would be as fast as they are now, and consume less endurance.
 * Players start with 500 endurance. But that number can be increased later.
 * Endurance appears in screen as a series of glasses filled with water, the size of a heart or a mana star, and each glass would be 500 endurance. Unlike stars and hearts that 'fade', the small rectangles get 'emptied' over time, as if they were glasses filled with green stuff.
 * Consumption and recovery of endurance.
 * Using tools would reduce endurance. Only uses that do something count: digging, mining, chopping trees or breaking walls. Cutting grass, hitting the air, emoving furniture, building bricks or hitting enemies with tools won't consume endurance. Better tools consume less endurance. For example:
 * Copper: Slow speed - 7 endurance
 * Iron: Slow speed - 6 endurance.
 * Silver: Medium speed - 6 endurance.
 * Gold: Medium speed 5 endurance
 * Demonic: Fast speed 5 endurance.
 * Meteor: Fast - 4 Endurance.
 * Molten: Fast 3 endurance.
 * Players can stop using tools, and endurance will slowly recover on its own, for example, stop digging to fight enemies for a while. Endurance recovers faster the less endurance you have. The first rectangle
 * Some magical items would add endurance regeneration, and some reduced endurance consumption.
 * Silk could be used to make 'work clothing' that offers little protection, but reduces endurance consumption by 50%.
 * Food would be added to instantly and quickly recover endurance.
 * A kitchen recipe would be added, to 'craft' food. It would require wood, iron and steel.
 * A cook NPC would be added, to sell food. Appears when a room gets a kitchen, and they usually stay only in rooms with kitchens.
 * Edible animals would be added:
 * Game mammals: rabbits, deers, wild boars. Must use non-magical melee or ranged weapons, and normal ammo.
 * Birds: pheasant, partridge, seagull. Must use bows or guns.
 * Fish: Trout, salmon, eel. Must use a fishing rod while on the surface. The merchant sells a basic reed fishing rod, players can make better ones with wood, copper, iron, etc.
 * To get meat from them, a proper tool must be used, otherwise they won't drop meat when killed (you can't use magic weapons, explosives or spells, that would just kill the animal, dropping no meat)
 * Corruption could affect animals that enter there, turning them into corrupted creatures, for example, birds would turn into eaters of souls would they enter a corrupted area.
 * Edible plants would be added too, about 10 different ones, including sunflowers (used to make oil).
 * Some ingredients can be used to make other ingredients, for example, birds may drop also eggs, not just meat, and eggs and oil could be used to make mayonnaise. Then you can use mayonnaise to make sandvich.
 * Mushrooms (excepting vile ones) could be used to cook too. They would also count as food and give 250(mushroom) and 500(glowing mushroom) endurance when eaten.
 * There would be at least about 27 different recipes.
 * Increasing max endurance.
 * Players would start with 200 maximum endurance. To increase maximum endurance, players must eat varied. The first time a dish is eaten, endurance increases by 100, up to a maximum of 2000. So, to get 'stronger' one must eat varied stuff, not just one thing.

Claiming land

 * To claim land, one most make stakes out of wood. No workbench is necessary. Stakes are small 1x2 sticks that are put on the ground. Once in palace, only the host and the owner can remove them.
 * Land is claimed by placing 4 stakes in a rectangular area. After placignthe first stake, anytime you select stakes to place, 4 red lines appear from all of your other stakes. You can now place more stakes in the path of those red lines. When all 4 stakes are in place, your area is claimed and the red lines become green lines. You can see the claim lines when holding a stake in your hand, or by having the inventory open, your own lines are green, other player's are blue. The lines have a limit of two screens (about 50 tiles/100feet), so the max amount of terrain one can claim is 50x50. Each player can claim only one mass of land, and it must contain at least 10 tiles over surface level.
 * Only the owner and the host can remove items from claimed land.

Server-side character saving

 * Servers can set the option to keep the characters in the server. Each user gets an unique id (for example, steam user ID). This prevents people from entering worlds with all gear when the host wants only people starting from scratch.

UI improvements

 * Pause menu (Default key ESC) with access to settings.
 * Use item in inventory: Click an item with the middle mouse button to use it while the inventory is open.
 * Lock item in inventory: Click while holding the lock key (Default: T) to lock an item.

To unlock the item, click on it again while holding the lock key.
 * Screen resolution
 * Show the ammo that will be used and the total amount left of it (adding all stacks in the inventory) over the respective weapons, when they appear in any of the the 10 quick slots. Numbers don't appear when the inventory is open, only when closed.
 * Get everything: Under the name of the container appears the 'Get everything' text label. Click on the label to get all items in the container f possible, until your inventory is full.
 * Quick item move: Hold key (Default:Ctrl) to sell or move items when clicking on them while a showing an open container or shop.
 * Quick toolbar change: Hold Ctrl, Shift or Alt while the inventory is closed to show the 2nd, 3rd and 4th rows of the inventory instead the 1st.
 * Rotate slot: Hold a number and mouse wheel up/down to rotate the items in that column in the inventory.
