Note that the list does not include things that are already planned in the Roadmap.
Unless otherwise noted, this is not a list of things that will be added. Just things that are suggested.
This list is compiled for the benefit of the dev team, and is not required to include all details of your suggestion, and does not attempt to be complete, just to contain most of the suggestions made. At any time the dev team may remove items or discard this list entirely.
Also, in line with This suggestion, I (Hope) may look into moving this into a more interactive format in time.

Things suggested often:
- The game being available on Steam - Suggested often
Making sticks out of planks - Suggested extraordinarily often
- Possibly make firewood not the first result of log & axe, but rather a log and axe produce Chunks of wood first, then you can either put those chunks in a pile/into a fire and they become firewood, (aged firewood mechanic?) or axe them again to make sticks.
Having the in-game handbook favor your era's items or only allow you to see items in your current era or before, so that stone age players aren't browsing through iron tools to find a reed basket in the listing. - Suggested often
Various reworks of nutrition - Suggested often
Various tree taps / Saps / Syrups / ways to obtain resin - Suggested often.
