I also use the killbox method but what I'll usually do is bore into the side of a mountain so that it forces everyone into it if they want to reach me. Single file line into a bunch of large turret fire. I'll make sure that I have everything I need inside too, such as biofuel powering hydroponic gardens to make more biofuel from.

I've found only 2 issues with this...
1. You still have to take out sieges with your soldiers.
2. Sometimes they still try to mine their way in if you're not in deep enough.

Ok! After 800+ hours logged these are my suggestions.

-Smelting steel into ingots!! It would just make sense seeing as how you need to carve stone to utilize it.
-Stone or Metal fireplace/furnace...just something between a campfire and a heater...
-Shooting range. To train shooting. (Also recreation)
-A way to train melee ...half the game is combat so training in general would be useful.
-Rice growing in shallow water would make more sense...and look cooler
-River and lake/pond water are totally different colors.. terrain would look better if they were closer in color.
-Starvation I feel like is a little too quick. Humans don't starve that quickly. Sure malnutrition but not full on starvation.
-Corpse obsession should only happen involving lost loved ones. Not random people.
-I'd personally like to see a more logically organized and gratifying tech tree. (I.e. smelting before electricity, and electricity broken down into generator, heating, lighting, ect.)
-Only certain animals should be able to be domesticated. When ever has a random squirrel decided to join your household and start eating out of your fridge?
-Mineable salt. Could be used for fine meals or meat preservation. Would make sense in more way than one.
-On that note, spices (maybe as one single plant type) and salt could be used in conjunction for lavish meals.
(that way you're not using a bunch of food to make a better meal somehow?)
-I'd like to see the addition of wheat. Could tie into beer brewing... would like a more gratifying food crafting system in general. I know this isn't Stardew Valley but a couple additions and combinations could make the game feel a little more... like you're really living off the land.
-Doing away with the hydroponic room light. It's frustrating and not realistic.

Ok that's all I can think of without getting too complicated.
