A missing component of survival

I bought the game a while back and didn't really touch it. Me and my SO this past week and dumped hours and hours into this game.

Overall we are having a blast, with any game in early access there are issues and we signed up for that. However, this survival game is seriously missing a core feature on how we as humans survived. The stick and the rope. Now I know we have the first one already in game but the biggest let down is not having rope. Especially as we are playing as Vikings and the ships have rope on them.

This gripe comes from having to dance around mooring your ship/boat/raft for no reason and would love to see ropes implemented especially with how some of the vertical aspects of this game are a pain in the ass to handle with how the pawn interacts with the world.

I know there are a lot of more pressing issues but I feel that not having rope is a bit of a let down for a survival game. Still gonna play the hell out of this game, I'm tabbed from it writing this right now about to build a dock.

If there is a mod or something I should know that I obviously missed just let me know.
