Feauture / QOL wishlist

[Ruffled Owl Saloon]

Love the game so far :3 Wishlist is in no particular order

• Overview of what gifts NPCs like/dislike
  
• General different layout of the NPCs. Maybe more of a book format than having them all be in one window. Maybe make it akin to how the Player's character overview looks?
  
• Ability to smelt/preserver/dry/etc more than one item at a time.
  
• This one may make things more complex, but when drying/preserving things, make it e.g. 'dried turnip' or 'pickled corn' and let us use it in the respective recipes.
  
• Working dressers (don't know if that's a bug or not or if I'm doing something wrong, but it'd be nice to be able to put clothes somewhere after buying a dresser.)
  
• Different icon on NPCs that have a gift for you.
  
• Ability to abandon quests and clean up the 'completed section' of the questlog.
  
• Something to indicate what has been planted where (to keep things tidy and not end up with an orchard of the same trees)
  
• An encyclopedia of where to find what when (fish, mushrooms etc)
  
• Adding the crafting requirements for cooking and crafting to the current encyclopedia.

Thank you.

I'd like to be able to sort inventory various ways:
- by value
- by how soon it will rot
- alphabetically
etc

[kiraki]

Noted! Some of these we already are trying to get in and we'll write down the other suggestions for later updates

[tristarstarstar]

If I could add something, I would like to request a date/time indication to the save files. I like the autosaves but I'm never quite sure what is saving what :)

[t_spacemonkeys]

Thought I'd pile on my suggestions here rather than starting a new thread:

• A message/acknowledgement when a family member dies, and other family members noticing, rather than finding out from the calendar or mail
  
• As others have asked, sort and stack by type for inventory and chests
  
• Rewards for finishing each pillar. I was really excited to complete my first one, but then… nothing happened. Maybe something relevant to each pillar? Like a few rare seeds for finishing the farming one? An icebox for finishing the cooking one? These take a fair amount of commitment and resources to complete, it felt sad to get nothing after each
  
• Have more than one funeral per day. When a lot of people die at once, it clogs up the calendar for weeks at a time. I've had barely a single day in three seasons that there hasn't been a funeral.
  
• It would be good if quests didn’t ask for out of season items - or were more easily achievable in the first spring/summer at least
  
• Receive a witch's book that maybe links on your family page - to write your potion recipes in as you discover them. At the moment you have to walk a long way to the cauldron just to find out you're missing an ingredient.
  
• Walk down to the mine and pillars – perhaps these could be shortened by a third. I walk down there, but I always fast travel back out. It’s a pity, because otherwise I don’t really use the fast travel (Edit: Nevermind, I discovered caffeine; all good)
  
• And, though much less important and entirely due to laziness: a button that appears when in dark places that you can click to autolight your lamp, rather than having to go into the menu to do it or keep it in your sort bar

Just spent my first 2 hours, and loving the game. Seconding the above requests. Here are a few of my own.

-Add a few different face shapes for PC and adult NPCs. (ex. "Long" or "Square")

-Add a toggle for unnatural hair colors like blue and pink so we can have the option of greater diversity.

-Picking things up feels delayed/sluggish. Maybe it gets faster with leveling up a skill, but if not, can that be tweaked?

-When casting the fishing line (at least with fishing game turned off) it's very hard to tell it "hit the water" so to speak until the exclamation point. A water "plop" sound effect would be nice.

Forgot another one that's been really bugging me: Would it be possible to have the current date highlighted on the calendar when you open it? Frequently I go into the calendar, realise I've forgotten which day it is, have to come out of all the menus to check and then go back in again.

Edited to add:
And also, some kind of subtle highlight around what you are interacting with? Frequently I try interacting with animals and end up just walking in circles because it think's I'm clicking on the ground, or trying to talk to one person but talking to another instead.

I've been really enjoying the game so far too! I do think there are a few things that could improve the quality of life and I agree with most of what's been said, but these are the ones I feel are needed and not completely difficult to do.

• fast travel point for pillars after unlocking
  
• a quarry or more points in the mine for collecting rocks
  
• plant-able tree seeds
  
• being able to search for any NPC on the map, not just ones with completed quests
  
• Specific likes/dislikes for characters
  
• some kind of response from villagers about the various events going on that day (sad message for funeral days, cheerful message for weddings, reminders about upcoming festivals, etc.) It just feels very odd when everyone is at a funeral and their text is small talk like "Isn't the weather so nice today?"

When you say 'plantable tree seeds' what do you mean? There's seeds for trees in the game already (always check with the families on the fields outside your farm), or do you mean being able to make saplings from fruit/seeds?

I presume its about being able to plant trees to cut for wood.
I also would greatly want such thing. Running every day shaking trees is rather boring

oh yes, admittedly that slipped my mind. Agreed

[Bendystraw]

Ability to sort chests :) ty!

[Purple Carnation]

A fast travel point near the mine entrance would be life changing, please. :D

[Auzzie Sausage]

More functional storage items/decor
Shed!!

Fish tank to look at my fishies


Personally I'd love the ability to breed pets 😅

[Auzzie Sausage]

Would like to get drunk at the tavern and get into fistfights,

Interact more with my family and friends like hangout events/options perhaps a fishing day or camping in the woods.. eating out ect..

[chris_atola]

I'd love it if you could craft from storage, i.e. when crafting or cooking, you don't need to have all the ingredients in your pocket. Just having them in a chest (or cellar)... somewhere... is enough. Maybe make it a toggle so those who don't want it can just leave it off?
