Starvers.io is a great game for relaxing. I really like the minimalist and stylish visuals, everything is made with taste.

But there are a few things I would like to improve:

1. It is annoying that if you drag an item to the edge instead of the exact center it pushes away instead of interacting.

2. Starvers are gluttons. I would like to give them a watering can so they automatically water farm plots. Automation would remove some of the routine which becomes overwhelming with multiple Starvers.

3. The object limit. At some point there are too many objects filling the 100 object pool which stops new Starvers from being born. As a suggestion maybe automatically apply small items like gears and sell pelts to free up some of the pool. Or stack multiple objects into one.

4. Workbenches lack a recipe book or something similar.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

1. Yeah, that one is genuinely annoying. Maybe we didn't put enough polish into it, so I'll take another look. The issue is that before, the first items merged into seeds way too easily, which was unbearable. Maybe we could make merging more lenient except for certain items, or add a setting that allows more lenient merging for players like you who find it frustrating. We'll think it over.

2. More automation is definitely planned.

3. We already have chests! But right now it's not clear how to get them, so we'll add a quest for that. I'd also like houses to give a capacity bonus, so it feels more like you're actually building a village ^^

4. I completely agree, that's also something we're planning to do.
