I have played Wurm on and off for years. They've got a great mechanical basis but there has always been a severe lack of polish. I've always hoped that the game would get picked up by a larger more experienced development team.
I'm hoping that Anteworld or whatever the game is called will become something like Wurm, with finite resources, cutting down trees, changing the terrain by digging and dropping dirt.
I'd love to be able to equip a shovel and dig, lowering the terrain point height closest to where you stand and transferring that to your inventory. The terrain point height goes down by 0.1 and you now have 0.1 amount of dirt in your inventory. Dropping the dirt would raise the terrain point height by 0.1 closest to where you stand.
