Lately I've been seeing a lot of "Obvious Suggestions" around the forum. What is an obvious suggestion? It's a feature that Mevans can't not be aware of. If Mevans is aware of an idea and hasn't added it to the mod yet, it's either because it's planned, or because he's decided for himself that he shouldn't/can't. Therefore, suggesting them will accomplish nothing but clutter the forums, and stress Mevans, neither of which are things we want.

Here are a few examples of "Obvious Suggestions."


 * Tomatoes
 * Chairs/other furniture
 * Bees/honey
 * Musical instruments
 * Gandalf

There is no way that the possibility if adding each and every one of these has never occurred to Mevans, therefore suggesting them has no positive impact.

Some examples of "Not Obvious suggestions" that I was able to find while sifting through the forums.

*Tools of the Trade. *Story Time. *Gundabad Overhauling. *On Crackers. *Dragons on the Horizon.

Each of these suggests or improves on something in a way that Mevans may never have considered had they not been brought to his attention.

Something to keep in mind is that (and by no means is this always the case) "smaller" suggestions for new features or mechanics are sometimes more helpful than long strings of new biomes, NPC's and items.

Thank you for reading.
