Well, currently a 4x4 truck cant drive through a flock of Z vultures, which by itself is already a nonsense. I wouldn't mind fighting blood moon hordes if horde was limited in amount of zombies. But its unlimited, so i prefer just borrowing deep underground. Currently its a waste of bullets trying to fight off BM horde.

Wut? They aren't infinite, there's a setting when you launch the game to set how many zombies per player on bloodmoons. Change that if you find it too hard, I think default is pretty low, and it only spawns a few waves of however many you set the spawner too

Bloodmoon is the best source of exp in the game, it's hardly a waste of resources lol. You can make AFK bases just using junksledges and stairs, but the simplest and easiest by far is to just make a big pillar and throw pipe bombs or molotovs down on them.

Make a 7x7 box that's 5-10 blocks tall, make some wooden bars and use them as flooring and have some over hanging on the sides as walkways, leave spots or use hatches so you can drop explosives down to horde, profit

Even on the higher difficulties with like 16+ zombies per player, you can wipe a horde pretty easily and cheaply with the above concrete explosive box, and pipe bombs are dirt cheap to craft and you don't have to waste point investement on the perks  since they are OP AF by default

You'll get several levels (and more building and repairing your death box) and will clear the horde within an hour or two of it spawning. It takes like 10 minutes IRL time to mine a near infinite supply of mats for pipe bombs

 
I'd bough to the skills of my colleagues, but I'm afraid I'd come off as a sap from the sticks.

It is possible, but I don't know. You asked a design question to programmers. We typically know the designs of the systems we are working on, but as far as extra content outside the scope of what we do, we would only know if someone mentioned it to us. Additional content to an existing and working system tends to fall into the polish category of if someone has time and desire, then maybe there will be more of whatever.

I am going to second that request provided it can be done easily.

I like how birch trees look very different than other trees and that would certainly add some variety.

@faatal someone on Steam said that the Raft could be added in A20 since it's basically already working well. Is this true/probable?

It could. It is not working as a whole, but the parts are there. We have model/textures. We have vehicle buoyancy/forces code. It all needs to be put together, tweaked and tested. Recipes and icons made. Added to loot lists. So many hours of work, which could be done for A20, but don't bet on it.
