Island Sanctuary suggestions and ideas

[lydiah]

Here are a few other QoL stuff they should consider:

Structure Construction
There should be a way to "pin" a construction like a "quest" so I know where I'm at material-wise as I gather, instead of having to add up 3 different structures worth of materials on a separate outside of game notepad to track everything.

Island's Cowrie
Really should be a few more things to buy with these, hell make it so you can convert like 1000 to 50 or 100 Seafarer's Cowrie or something. Or as one of the posters above mentioned, use it to improve existing tools in some fashion.

Landmarks
The in-game guide says that "The construction of landmarks has a variety of effects on your island experience" which is just untrue. All it does is increase your Mood cap by 5. If there are indeed other bonuses, please make them more apparent. If its only cosmetic, then change the description in the in-game guide as its confusing.

Edit: Each Landmarks seems to offer the same bonus upfront AND additional benefits per other structures. In the Guide in the Granary section it says that Landmarks will increase the yield of the expeditions. So in short, yes they are cosmetic only (in terms of choosing which to build) but the more you have built, the more benefits you get in the Granary (and most likely other structures as well)

More Minions
Having more minions roaming around would be fantastic, just saying

Orchestrion
Would be nice if it applied to the entire island, since realistically, we spend more time running around gathering than next to the cozy cabin.

Customization
I know its just the first batch of stuff released for it, but right now not much point in visiting friend's island. When maxed out, every island will essentially look the same with only building placement as its main difference. Would be a lot cooler if there was a multitude of customization options to make each island more unique.

Here are a few other QoL stuff they should consider:

Animal Moods
Yes I can guess what the progression is, but why isn't it listed in the in-game Guide like everything else is.

Guide > The Pasture > Feeding Animals > Scroll all the way down.

I mean to be fair i am making over 2k cowries each day from my workshops and you get 2k each week for free through the challenge log. So i don't think it is really that overpriced.

I'm making about half that. I think I just don't understand the marketing system. There's also the two days per week designated to not selling on the market to factor in. Still a profit being made, but it still feels like they're taking a bigger chunk than they should for how minor a task it is.

I love the idea of having my GC squad there.

OMG... now I feel super dumb. Thank you. How I missed this, I'll never know.

I think the size of the minions needs to be adjusted. They look SUPER small compared to the animals on the island. I wanted to fill my pasture with some minions to make it look more full but the minions look like they could easily get stepped on and flattened by the livestock lol.

The ability to dye the skin of the buildings would be nice as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if Isle Sprint isn't a toggle on/off because it can remain applied upon leaving the Island Sanctuary. Two nights ago I was queued in for a dungeon while working on my island, I had sprint on, and the sprint remained on when I loaded into the dungeon. If they can't change that, imagine how that might break savage raiding if you can just have permanent sprint for the entire encounter?

The island sanctuary is great but the part that’s supposed to be fun in farm sims is resource gathering. Getting me item for every click is not fun. This problem will cause people to bot gather.

I propose the developers to make gathering like combat. With each hit on the tree or rock is player controlled. We hit the hit box of a tree and see it shake and fall. Then resources fall around us. No point and click to gather.

If not that maybe increase special chance of more resources dropping and rare resources dropping.

This makes sense. I didn't notice, or even expect, that a buff specific to the island would still be applied when the player is out of it. Kinda strange that they didn't make it only work while being in that area ������ Maybe they didn't notice, or maybe it's the usual "we can't make it work".

I'm curious, do you get a specific IS version of sprint or something? (I haven't done it yet, so I don't know.) If it's just the regular sprint, then it's not a buff specific to the island, but rather a spell that always applies a certain buff to your character. Try activating sprint anywhere else in the world and then quickly changing zones. Sprint will still be active. It's not something that gets confined to a certain area.

Yes, you get a 20s sprint with a 5 second cooldown. So you can keep it up indefinitely although it is on a special action button rather then your hotbar.
