I would like to suggest the following, in order to make the gameplay less tedious:
1. Player not awaking from their sleep due to rain or snow.
2. Rowing a punt or a raft into a tile of weak ice (ice that cannot be walked on) will automatically break the ice and move to the tile.
3. Player being able to notice the taste different (delicious, tasty, plain, bland, etc.) of food before eating them.

4. Player should always get up from "fallen" state to walking on the world map, unless an injury to the leg prevents it.
