Island Sanctuary QoL Suggestions

[Sterne]

There is another thread here that talks about additions to grow the island Sanctuary, so please engage with their post to talk about adding things.

In this post, I would like to focus on improving existing functions.

1: Allow Modes to be Set to Hotbar

Currently switching modes is clunky, especially on controller. Simply put, these modes could be added to existing Hotbars for quick engagement. More complex changes could be enabling a Sanctuary Hotbar (akin to pet bars), or even making swapping macro'able so we can create our own buttons and do fun things like tying a mode swap to a glamour plate!

2: Beckon AoE instead of Single Target

Another clunky thing is calling my pets over one at a time. How about I just whistle and pets in a range come running? Or if you wanna get creative, a bell! I'll call it the feeding bell.

3: Improved notifications of when actionable things are ready.

This would be such when facilities have available upgrades, Excitable Explorer has returned, your workshops have something to deliver to you. There are quest markers for expansions, and functionality unlocks as you progress, and while those are useful that's not what I'd like to see. I'd like to see something conspicuous such as:

• A Toast Notification
• An Audible Cue
• A Quest Marker for the soon made obsolete Felicitous Furball

or something immersive such as:

1. Mammet/NPC Idle Animation Change (e.g. Excitable Explorer with a bunch of bags around him)
2. Changed Activity at the Workshop or Granary wheh there's something ready
3. Flower Petals/Pollen in the wind when your crops are ready for Harvest

4: Improved Data in the Set Agenda Selection

Currently it allows to sort by time or by category, and I think that is sufficient. However, alongside each craft, I should be able to see at least the current Popularity. This one bit of information should not be sequestered to ONLY Market Research, even if it is as simple as that little Popularity Face right next to the name of the item.

===============

I would like anyone reading this to include their own QoL of life improvements. If your suggestion does not cross with other posts in this forum such as the one linked at the top, I will add it to this list with a quote to you.

I love Island Sanctuary, and I want this to remain an active, engaging, and rewarding experience for players for a long time. I've been playing this game for over(?) a decade since 1.0 and to me this addition is most unexpected and most welcome.

Thanks Dev Team, I hope you see this!

Retrieving crop yields and animal leavings from caretakers should be a 1 or 2 click action. Not a 40 click action.

I said it in another thread but I'll say it here too. Wish we had an animal feeder that if we want to pay the mammet to feed the animals, can just do it for all instead of selecting each animal manually and assigning mammet services to it. Changing food type is a chore as you'll have to reassign each with the food you want them to have and this would pretty much solve it.
