So, you say that this thread is both for frequent suggestions, and widely endorsed suggestions. Thus on the subject of an idea that, while hardly a frequent suggestion, did seem to be well liked would Large Bridge Cranes fit into this thread?

The purpose of this thread is to make an index of frequently suggested ideas and/or ideas that are widely endorsed. Hopefully that is useful in reducing the number of duplicate suggestion threads which tend to flood the ideas & suggestions sub-forum. I also hope the devs find it useful to browse through and we might be able to capture the responses and opinions devs have on some of these topics.

Please feel free to leave a comment below if you think something belongs on this list. It would help me if you can include any links you feel are relevant. I'll add them to this post and apply some structure & formatting so that it's easy to find and see what's going on. For clarity, I'm looking for entire threads dedicated to one topic (as per the instructions "1. One suggestion per post!") rather than posts where a bunch of suggestions are made in one go.

Recycling
Threads about dissassembling, recycling, using waste etc.
This will not be implemented, cause the number of items which may be useful to recycle vs. the number you produce is so small, that the overhead eats all advantages.
There are some mods, which implement different kinds of recycling/disposal!
