Some great ideas here. Some of them we've already got on our list. If you want to what we have so far you can view it here

Only saw so far the list is not short but more brainstorming is going on:
- stone walking paths (or deco floors when bots can use scooter ;))
- Electric bots powerd by a network of beaconlike poles. The power is provided by using charcoal and water in a steamboiler.
- To add a kind of progress there could be a reseachtable used by an advanced bot. For that bot you'll need glass (diggin+smelting sand). Maybe there could be different tiers of reseach, so its possibly necessary to reseach the refining of metal/glass first.
Damn, i got nothing new :(
I didn't see stone/metal storages for more/most capacity.
When you add nighttime u have to add lightsources too (torches or lampposts that needs coal as fuel and electric lamps for lategame).
And when there are hostile creatures we'll need military bots (melee+archer) to protect the villagers. Midgame military bots could have crossbows, shield/armor, maybe cavallary (horsebreeding?). Guns can be for lategame depending on the hostiles. ;)
