There are some great ideas here! I know some may find the current updates a bit underwhelming from a gameplay perspective, but they’re really trying to flesh out the core. A good foundation they’re satisfied with will save time in the future when adding more stuff.
It was mentioned in one of the streams that they have something like 14 other classes planned (not set in stone). If that’s the case they’ll need to figure out what everyone is doing and how it interacts/affects current classes. The way they’ve been improving the game so far I have no doubt they’ll fully flesh out all the current crafters when they get there.
As far as farmers/cooks go you should really check out Stonehearth Cafe (Cooking And Farming Expansion) and BreweryMod. These two mods will add a ton of stuff for your famers and cooks, and satisfy your sweet tooth.
