The Wards need some work. Specifically: it would be nice if we could add multiple players to them so that they could manipulate doors and chests. This is a multiplayer game that doesn't really allow players to band together as a single community without making itself vulnerable to anyone who comes along.

you can add players to a ward, though adding new players to a bunch of wards you've probably buried around a larger base get's a little harder. The players you want to have permissions to the area just interact with the ward before the one who placed it down activates it (remove and replace the ward to reset it in order to remove players, if they arent willing to remove themselves).
