winged dove
Around the map, either after the player completes a certain house or during free roam mode there should be spots you can dig with the shovel scattered around. Digging them could give you useful items if future patches add more sandbox/scarce items, or they could give you lore items like the tapes (I don't know the lore so don't ask for an example)
They could be randomly distributed or in set spots, and maybe there could be a treasure map you can find somewhere with their locations?
finite moth
maybe some crates you need the crowbar for like the ones in the Barn and Peterson Residence could be added around the map too

Yeah, the crate mechanic was under utilized
finite moth
its used once in 3 locations and then never again
winged dove
And I wouldn't even count the barn, since it's the tutorial it should be showing you a mechanic that commonly shows up
Then it's in the Peterson house and the museum a few times
finite moth
in the Museum once for a puzzle code
and then in the Peterson residence for a bonus item you like never use (camera)
