Shoop's Ideas for projects and challenges
A note from the shoop. I do not have any sort of collect all the X or any of that in this list as those are fairly simple and hopefully you don't need someone to tell you collecting one of every bee could be a project. Also missing are any 'complete' the mod sort of things as with the bees it should be obvious that you could make a project by unlocking/building everything a mod offers. This list has evolved a bit it has a mix of project ideas and challenges I was going to keep it to projects only but figured in many cases people are looking for ideas for both I have kept the challenges in the list.
