- Domain Wall Sensor
	- Adapt from sztest?
	- Field Generator?
		- Power an annealed lode block from 2 opposite faces.
		- Generates particle effect at mapblock boundary.

- Fire rework.
	- Make fuel consumed slower by reducing flame exposure.
		- Encourages designing a better furnace.
	- Smothering produces charcoal instead of ash.
		- Can be reburned.  Maybe easier to ignite?
		  Maybe rejuvenate fuel in exchange for effort?
	- Make ash whiter, charcoal black.
	- New writing system based on charcoal
		- Draw a symbol on surfaces by pummeling w/ charcoal
		- Punch symbol w/ charcoal to rotate thru alphabet
		- Use a special/reduced alphabet?

- Advanced Tools
	- Sickle / kopesh, choppy + snappy, recursive harvesting.

- Water and lava surface springs.
	- Access to water for forges.
	- Access to lava for lighting, firestarting.

- Threats
	- Visceral
		- Flammable gas?  Toxic gas?  Radioactives?
		- Monsters: stone-lurkers, mimics.
		- Lightning, meteor strikes?
	- Creeping
		- Cellular automata hazards.
		- From exploration, delving too deep, leaving things to rot, etc.
		- Blights, fungi
	- Latent
		- Respawn mechanics?

- Digital logic + lighting via optics.
	- Focused light right at output applies heat
		- Easy fire starting?
			- From sunlight
			- From prism beam, 2 lenses in series
		- Optical heat transforms, cooking via laser light?
	- Piezo Crystal Node
		- Emits light briefly when punched or stepped on
		- Need to interpolate player paths for "stepped on" logic
	- Pistons or rack&pinions for affecting world stuff.

- New materials to craft with.
	- Dungeon materials, stonework?
	- Decorations for dungeons
	- Tree sap from stumps? Resin? Rubber? Shellac?
	- Small plants? Reeds? Mallows?
	- Sea stars, anenome, coral, other underwater things?
	- Fungi, esp. tree-destroying ones, blight?
	- Oil, natural gas?  Fossils and fossil fuels?
	- Geode, hydra crystals, radioactives?
	- Shipwrecks or alien tech
	- Slow-moving animals? Snails? Miniature spice worms?
	- Non-portable things, like "spawners" or wormholes
	- Tubers and taproots, cacti, and other "defensive" plantlife
	- Plant-like CA animals, like bee nests and clouds of bees?
	  Termine mounds? Ant colonies? Coral?

- System for transporting cargo.
	- Trains of minecarts?
	- Conveyors, elevators?
