- #6963: If this is implemented, we may have a more efficient
way to handle "visinv" nodes, i.e. stacks, storage boxes,
and other container nodes.
- #12317: Not having consistent and known player movement
interpolation behavior makes it hard to keep player
nametags matched with the average player position instead
of jumping ahead or lagging behind.

HOPELESS: Problems that look like they might be unfixable

These are things that I would like to have fixed, but realistically
probably can't do anything about. SOME may also be specific engine
issues referenced in WISHLIST, but others may be so fundamentally
broken or unrealistic that they may not be worth pushing as an engine
issue.
- Variable step size consequences
- Instability of entity physics at large scale, i.e. cannot
aim a catapult
- Optomechanic timing issues; I'm unwilling to sacrifice optic
timing lockstep, but I can't enroll every other system in them.
- Doors are a possibility but would require refactoring
out a "virtual node transaction" sort of object that
could be hella complex.
- ABM performance sucks
- The scheduler distributes work across time very poorly
- We really need the ability to control scheduling from lua
- C++ is too inflexible
- We need to be able to process in batches instead of only
per-node dispatch
- neighbor check really could be made more specific,
e.g. a mask to select which neighbors
- Liquid issues
- Z-fighting against normal nodes; no way to both show inside
surface against air AND avoid z-fighting.
- Multiple kinds of water don't "mix"
- Can't do the sky navigation thing fully
- Client resource GC for computed textures could fix the memory
leak issues
- Multi-layer skybox with "parallax" layers would allow me to
move things around without building new textures (would be
faster too)
- Entity rendering performance is painful
- visinvs have an outsized impact on rendering perf, making
large storage areas painfully slow
- would like to be able to make more nodes ents, like doors,
for animations
- LBM and node timer "leaks" can happen, necessitating a lot of ABMs
- If I could reliably discover the existence of nodes and
ensure some process is pending for them, then I wouldn't
need these.

- Rake recipe is a major problem
- Lots of players are getting caught up on it
- Replace recipe:
- Add "partial" rakes for 1, 2, and 3 tines.
- Using adze on handle makes partial rake.
- Using adze on partial rake upgrades it.
- Once a full rake is completed it works as normal.
- Partial rakes have rake functionality but break
after a single use.
- Break into appropriate prills (lode)
- Hide rake recipe until later in the game?
- Maybe add a generic "# hints completed" qualifier?
- Instead of always displacing nodes upon falling node landing, should
check for diggability and if diggable, convert to drops.
- If a mod adds a second loose-leaves-like node (falling,
non-walkable, e.g. nc_nature loose shrub) then it and loose
leaves in a narrow deep pit will constantly replace each
other.
- Cheats
- Add radius to /snuff, /ignite, /growtrees, etc
- Add a /soak cheat to push soaking?
- Add a /forest or /grove cheat to sprinkle trees around
- Like the flora redecorate
- Useful for servers with spawn tree attrition
- There needs to be a way to detect bricks bonding
- Smoke puffs?
- Absorb something (e.g. flowing liquid) from its surroundings?
- Emergency digging mechanic issues
- Players still confused by it.
- Because pumwater is pointable, if you're trapped with no way
to get your head out of it, you can't emergency dig the
container and free yourself.

- Publish "base" texturepack to CDB
- Allows servers to use "server texturepacks" with impunity
without breaking the basic principle of players having
access to all texture options.
- Sound check
- add some kind of falling sound (very low pitched dig noise)
to falling nodes, to give players a chance to jump away from
gravel "jumpscares"
- Maybe add very subtle ambiance and/or particles to
falling nodes poised above non-walkables?
- check sound for quality; stick sounds have a lot of bass noise
- Increase the pitch variance?

- Fix damage falling damage "death" flash
- Player falling off a short/mid size cliff will get a damage
sound, flash, camera shake.
- Player falling off a huge cliff (enough to "kill" them) only
gets the sound.
- May need to do something different to calculate damage
- player:set_armor_groups({fall_damage_add_percent = -x})
- May need to heal and then re-hurt to trigger extra effects?
- Take full control of damage fx server-side?
