The missing link between "heap of straw" bed and "luxury dragon queen sized Auping" bed is something that bugs me too. And I feel that a rotation option for building pieces would add a lot of possibilities already, it also removes the need of having horizontal and vertical beams, just one beam that you can rotate in any way. I use a rotation mod and it adds so much more options just with the basic stuff already that I feel it should be part of the base game.
I feel the upgrades for the crafting stations should be able to be placed further away too, it makes no sense for a wood chopping block and an atze to be inside just to be able to be in range. And the spice rack is my nemesis, way too often you can't hang it from the ceiling, because that is out of range, it feels so extremely crowded to put all those upgrades together. And asks a lot of space at the same time because they pieces need range in between them, what makes that people put grinders and anvils on shelves, to save room, but that makes no sense either, let alone that you would be able to lift an anvil on top of something like that :v
