Kilns, ladders, smelters, etc, not physical?
Curious, why are things like smelters/benches/ladders/etc aren't considered physical objects and are instead defined as 'items'? I've had nothing but overlapping issues with the sprites due to their definition of being items instead of constructs, plus the lack of collision and inability of proper placement functions leaves players with a lacking experience of comprehension and consistency in the game.

Plus It makes them feel just entirely tacked on and unpolished. We can pick up crates and place them as physical objects in the world, why can't these be crafted as place-able objects? Is there some coding limitation preventing this? is it a product of laziness? or just an unintentional bug?

Also ladders don't work and should just be removed entirely because they're just 'items' with no function.
