- We can reliably detect the zoom player control, make far-zoom only
  work while zooming, and add hints for it.

- Consider switching touchtips to waypoint HUDs now that hiding
  distance is an option.

- BUG: Players with very high lag are sometimes able to dig air,
  flux into their inventory, esp. with silk-touch tools.

- Door upward conveying is sort of useless right now; make it also
  push objects outward, so this motion can be useful for upward
  item transport?

- Valleys mapgen rivers seem to rely on having an actual separate
  river water registration with a specific liquid range.

- Should item ents experience more drag when in fluids?

- Door-wheels do not affect attached glyphs...

- Add a few smoke particles to fire?
	- Make them different (smaller?) than cooking to differentiate.

- Stone softening rates feel off.
	- Once first stage of stone softens, others follow really
	  quicky (exponential runaway basically).
	- If you leave stone soaking for a while, it looks like it
	  basically softens all or nothing.
	- Can we smooth this out and make it less jarring?

- Make a way to prevent crafting on place
	- Sneak? Aux?

- Consider changing wet/dry stack splitting
	- Currently, original stack remains in place, wetted/dried
	  stack jumps out to new spot.
	- Instead, maybe wetted/dried stays in place and original
	  jumps out (unless there's an adjacent wetted/dried stack to
	  reuse).
	- More similar to the way flammable stack ignition works
	- Just meaner overall

- Consider largely retiring offline time-integral mechanics
	- Keepers:
		- Tree growth
		- Compost
	- Losers:
		- Sponge expiration
		- Torch expiration
		- Leaching
		- Repacking
		- Concrete
		- Lux renew
	- Logic: Action by a living thing (i.e. presence of player or
	  microorganisms) is what keeps time ticking...?
	- Be more consistent with some non-offline mechanics like
	  fire fuel consumption
	- "Fairness" issues, e.g. when sponge expiration happens before
	  squeezer DNTs have had a chance to fire.
	- When we did torches via expiration metadata, the reason at the
	  time was that there was no way to get them to tick reliably like
	  we can with nodes; with AISMs this is no longer the case.

- Repose changes
	- Staves/rods should repose a lot less or not at all.
	- Rework repose to be based on amount of loose material below, not
	  amount of distance available to fall?  repose only needs to have a
	  particular angle as measured on flat land?

- Delay lens full brightess?
	- Propagate optic signals immediately
	- Reach full brightness a few seconds later, to reduce map
	  update work and prevent rapid strobes.
	- Strobes can cause excess lighting recalcs and block
	  transfers, and can cause seizure problems for users

- Consider doing looktips and using a custom HUD to force crosshair
  for mobile as well.
	- Looktips can re-show any time lookdir changes, not just on
	  change of target node name, so rejiggling the view can
	  give more time to read tip.
	- Don't allow looktip if the "above" node is below a certain
	  light level
	- Consider separating wieldtips and punch/looktips again.
	- Separate air vs. node cursor?
		- Like the node vs. entity cursor, can we hide the cursor when
		  pointing only at air?
		- Could have an API to check for pointability, e.g. bandolier
		  slots from the back.
		- Would server lag be too much?
		- This would integrate really well with a WAILA sort of thing.
		- Could totally revamp touchtips, and dynamic feel Lightning.
		- Use an image HUD so we can force mobile to display it too, so
		  mobile players can use look dir too?

- falling_node pillars settle out of order!
	- Also anectodal issues with falling nodes sometimes
	  tunneling WAY upwards now, as observed with BXS's
	  mine on NCC where gravel tunneled all the way up
	  the ladder

- Tote issues:
	- Consider updating tote recipe.
	- Totes should do face-connected search for totables; don't pick up
	  shelves only touching via a corner.

- Flammables should respond via AISM when bathed in fire or igniting
  liquids like molten glass or rock.

- Import YCTIWY as part of the base game.
	- Setting to disable entirely
	- Setting to disable compact mode
	- Setting for fresh/stale like bones; items become accessible
	  only after time has passed since last login
	- Make the priv just to override any protections

- Shelf recipe reform
	- Add a "shelf frame" node made from wooden frames
		- Name: "form"?
	- Add appropriate material to shelf frame to make shelf
	- 2-stage construction should make it easier to discover
	- Shelf frame can gain its own distinct uses
		- e.g. some things can fall through it but not others.
		  Items?  Players?  Fluids?

- Should there be pockets of softer stone at depth, like there is gravel?
	- Register ores for softer stone of each level
	- Maybe some ores for cobble and/or loose cobble?

- Consider checking for a nearby active player before running
  "fast-evolving" ABMs that don't normally work offline, like fire
  extinguishing/spreading?
	- This would make gameplay more fair for those who tend to
	  go AFK suddenly and can't return for a long time.
	- This would reduce the gap between things that support the offline
	  mechanic and those that don't between MP and SP.

- Make separate walkable/non-walkable stack nodes.
	- Should sticks and eggcorns be non-walkable?
