Differentials, Camera mouse movement and follow improvements, Programming ease of use features.
Trying to make a Forklift and having a locked differential is ridiculous. Smooth turning and movement is impossible when the wheels cannot turn independently.

Further impeding our ability to complete tasks is the world's worst camera controls. It should not take 10 swipes of my mouse to turn the camera 180 degrees. If I select follow cam, it should follow. Where's "Bot view"? I should be able to go first person and sit in the perspective of the avatar bot.

Programming is just too raw. I shouldn't in a game, have to have any prior experience with coding to do simple things like make a skid steer or make pistons extend and stop when I release the button, etc. Most of this programming should be done in an interface of sorts, selecting options allowing people to view examples and learn naturally by those examples. Drag and drop a part and select it's function from a list. Save functions you've created and copy them to later builds.

Scaling and rotation could use improvements as well, 'no collision' should be available to make building mechanical objects easier and anything not attached to the build should always move as one unless connected. :steamfacepalm:

One more thing, Camera inversion for controller without having to invert the mouse...

Indeed, the first person perspective is more interesting
