I hope Island Sanctuary furniture isn’t just limited to buildings

I want to place a nice little bench to view my crop land from, and maybe a few little farming details.

Bays of hale in my animal field would also be lovely. C:

It's the opposite. It's just outdoor things at the moment. Maybe we will get more of an interior and proper housing structures in 6.5 if they can pull it off in time.

They said you'll only be able to place it near buildings. I don't know if the pasture and crops are considered buildings or are close enough them, though. Maybe the landmark would let you place things beside the pasture? The screenshot didn't give away much.

who knows.., Specifically, the hideaway is I'm generally the whole area before the cave. which includes the up and down.

I guess the only way to tell..,
is once they reveal more information to us.

I honestly thought about Retainer bells..,
They didn't deny the Bell.
and Bells can be put outdoors? yes?

You can put a retainer outdoors but not a bell.

I wouldn't expect the bell to work even if they could be placed outside. We've been told that things with special functions won't work, so it's easier to assume that applies to everything than to hope about every item that wasn't individually listed.

worst case, furnishings will have to be near buildings
best case, everywhere before the cave

The area around the houses has a flat surface, so that will likely be the reason why it is limited to those areas.

So no beach chairs on the beach I guess D:

Strictly outdoor decore, items that are specially interactive are excluded, they mentioned garden plots snd training dummy but its safe to say stable, atheryte, and outdoor retainer are likely a no go too. As for placement it'll prolly only be on the completely flat locations around your structures in the hideaway, highly doubt they'll allow placement on any slopes since the current housing system doesnt really work that way. (Best giess the area considered as "Grounds" in your hideaway that is you can change with overgrown, dirt, or stone seems like the best indicator on where youll be able to place things.)

I do find it odd (though I'm not complaining) that they are phasing housing items in. This could bode well for the future.

Probably a way to soothe the people without a house since they have been losing times and times again since they opened lotteries, which makes sense, but it wont do much, people will keep screaming for instanced housing (which wont happen because instanced housing = no auto demo = no forced subscription to cancel auto demo)

You are probably right, but one can dream.

Honestly I hope they keep improving Island Factory Sanctuary so it becomes a recurring thing and not just an EW feature that'll be dropped and abandoned by 7.0.

Even if it's not a replacement for housing there's just so much potential in it to be a consistent form of side content.

There’s actually files that suggest Island Sanctuary is going to have an instanced housing area. I did not look into them myself, but a friend showed me a screenshot. While I do not publicly condone datamining, I saw what I saw. It looked like a medium house.

I'd like it if they made animal beckoning permanent, and you could lead them out of the pasture. I want to catch 20 alligators and have them lounging around the base camp plaza, maybe with a couple on the beach looking at the load-in spot.
