Thank you for replying. While I agree with a lot of what you said, here are some further thoughts after playing for a while:
1. When I asked about a "place" for an idea of what to build in what order, I meant an online resource like a wiki. I understand what you were saying about building things as you need, however with no experience playing the mod before it is difficult and a bit frustrating when you want to craft something, take the time to gather everything to make the crafting station it requires just to find out you need something that is made on another station. I am not asking you to include this in the mod at all, I was just curious if someone on the forum had made a guide or tree of some sort to help new players to the mod.
2. As far as the config/encumbrance options are concerned, I agree with you that disabling completely defeats the purpose, I was simply looking to adjust it to be a little lower. Perhaps remove the option to disable but still allow it to be modified if that is possible.
I also understand you are focused on other things and you are one person that has created a mod that is much better than the base game IMO. I think what you have done is amazing and the devs could learn quite a bit from what you have done with their game.
