These are too small and insignificant to each get their own thread, so I complied them into a larger thread. Yay for large threads!

Crafting Hotkeys: Something that's been touched on before, hotkeys for crafting. When I want to make a lot of something simple, say hemp, walls, or sandstone bricks, I have to first click on all the items involved, then click what type of item I want to make, then click the specific item I'd like to craft. This is long and tedious, especially when you have to do it a lot of times.

To streamline the process, binding the Z, X, and C keys to different buttons and options on the menu would make the entire process much faster, and you could do everything in first person.

Faster Storm: The storm is deadly out at sea, and about nowhere else. However, another effect it can have is forcing an entire tribe to halt to a standstill for 5 minutes while they wait for the storm that spawned on them to go away. Due to the fact that the storm can spawn with a speed of 0.2, it's a completely viable possibility that the storm could just spawn on top of where you live, and never move until it despawns. While it's there, it's not a challenge or an additional mechanic, it's just annoying and forces you to sit around, doing nothing for an age.

If the lower limit to the speed the storm can spawn at was raised, then this issue would be solved quite simply.

Quicker Fireproofing: It's understandable that fireproofing shouldn't be something so easy and negligible that raider's can't raid. But right now, they have the same reload as a sword, which means that for complicated buildings like harbours, and any late-game boat, multi-wielding is simply a requirement if you want to fireproof it. This is silly. Your available water supplies and bucket tier should determine how effectively you can fireproof, not your knowledge of slightly illegitimate tricks.

If buckets (and all other containers) had their reload radically reduced, then you could fireproof much more quickly, and the real time-waster would be all the trips back and forth to the well to fill your bucket. However, sucessful tribes will be able to afford metal buckets and jugs, or just build more wells, to speed up the process even further.
