Add tunnels and steam-powered engines

I want to enter the industrial age with coal-steam powered engines! I want a semi-automated deep-tunnel digging machine. Deep underground would be where you would find the next advanced resource. I want to build a railway between my bases and ride a train with a locomotive at least twice faster than max running speed. Also, underground coal mining and steamboats! Also, horse breeding to eat my large carrot stash. Perhaps dynamite?

right!?! maybe we could make some really cool armor and encrust it in the gemstones we find deep underground? and maybe instead of the ashlands, maybe our portals take us to other "heims" and there we can find lakes full of lava, make even baderasser armor from strange new minerals and discover wild new monsters to fight?

Thors "wagon" was a space-ship. His hammer a repeatergun.

My 2c would be to keep it as much old-tech as possible, not grabbing that low fruit of advancing age and tech too much, and change into another game ventually. Keep it the atmosphere it started, but try to evolve new stuff in the same world (at least) for a while. Make it richer and better at what it already is. Go deep in viking culture and look for gems.

Personally, I'd like some QOL goodies, and more flexibility in UI.

The Vikings forged steel swords, google ; Uthbert, using techniques second to -none-. Smiths today still forge their ♥♥♥♥ the same way.
Using chainmail, countering blades, retaining mobility etc.
Calling us "not advanced" is an understatement. We were the Vikings. We Kings. And Our Queens <3.

The viking age was the scandinavian iron age.

You might be right although the game already has windmill and spinning wheel which weren't used in Scandinavia until several centuries after viking era.
You are right windmills where not a thing in the viking age. however the viking age ended around 1050, while the first windmill came to denmark 200 years later.
So not several centuries after viking era only 2 centuries.

1259 was the first windmill mentioned in writing in denmark.
viking age ended around 1050, some say 1042 and some say 1066.

Indeed. Odin would really be impressed with a Viking Starship. If that doesn't earn you a spot in Valhalla I don't know what would.
Besides the game is Norse themed. The MCU Thor movies are Norse themed and had spaceships. Ergo, Spaceships are Norse themed!

Go play Steampunk games. Marvel Cinematic universe is NOT ancient Norse tales.
