Items should have icon to show if needed for museum and whether already donated

[VoidSpawn]

There are so many things to donate that it's hard to keep track.

they usually say "would be fit in a museum" or something like that.
on some items is it obsivious that they go into the museum. i wonder if you complained about this in stardew valley too. or animal crossing etc. xD

Only the relics say that, none of the fish, crops, stones or anything else have the tooltip.
Fish in particular are a nightmare for it as they don't all get donated and the standard ones look a lot alike.

It is an awkward to use museum currently and we would benefit from a lot of QoL changes, including markers for donate-able/donated and a quick donate function so we don't have to go round all the displays manually.

There is a quick donate button at each display pedestal which is helpful at least! But yes I'd love a donated symbol next to the items. In Coral Island it says donated underneath each item and it's grayed out if not donated, bolded if donated

I played stardew valley before, and that game had an option to directly see what you donated from the menu. No need to keep going inside the community center. Especially important for Sun haven with its transition screen times and the sheer amount of items in the game.

In Animal Crossing you just enter the museum and talk to the owl in the first room to donate the things in your inventory that can be donated. Furthermore, it only has four specific categories: Fish, Insects, Art and Fossils. In Sun Haven there are a lot of odd little categories that makes it hard to keep track of, and some of the items you need multiple of.

In Stardew Valley you also just talk to the front desk person to donate the items that can be donated. Furthermore, the tooltip for those items in your inventory (if you haven't already donated them) go "Gunther can tell you more about this if you donate it to the museum" so it's even easier to tell what needs donating and what doesn't.

Comparing either of those games museum systems to Sun Haven just puts SH in an even worse light than it does to itself.

In an ideal world, there'd be something like the sell portal on the farm for museum donations. Just dump donations in there & call it a day.

But yeah -- the game really needs a tooltip icon for museum donations.

In Dinkum you also just walk up to the front desk guy, and he tells you, which items in inventory he would like to take off your hands, so you just come to him when you find a new thing. Sun Heaven sure did invent something unnecessary.
