What the game needs is the chance to have ruined village(s) on the surface (they may have basements, cellars).
The buildings should be in disrepair, but with a little t.l.c. can be made into valid housing.
They may be haunted and require clearing.
They may be open villages, or compromised fortifications, such as a frontier village, or even a castle or tower complete with spiders.
Or.. A wooden gallion ship, on the water, in the ocean biome! (Heck, it would be super cool stranded somewhere on land too)
The reason this is a good idea?
-the surface needs more surprises/interests
-it gives new or lazy characters something funner to live in than dirt boxes or caves
-people playing multi player don't always want to baby NPCs or coordinate building, usually they want to stomp bosses and do events.
-not everyone wants to try to think up npc housing that look decent, some just want to battle and explore
-beautifully/cleverly designed premade villages may get old players out of building appartment complex ruts, and it will show new players what is possible with the available building blocks.
