V0.9996 #8: Your tent door, Burrows at your tent, new rod icons and a quest log that opens at the top
More polish for your first hour on a new island. The door of your tent works as your home's door again, Burrows is easy to talk to at your tent, the quest log opens at the top, and a few confusing messages are gone.
Your tent
- Fixed: the game didn't treat your tent's door as the door of your home, so it was a plain door. It now says "Enter House", you come in on the doormat, and it's picked first over things lying near the door.
- Burrows waits on the other side of the tent door, away from the mailbox. Before, pressing F next to him opened the mailbox instead of talking to him.
- While you place your tent, the hint just says "Good spot" (no more degree numbers). The museum hint no longer shows grid coordinates.
Your first minutes
- If the game closed before the Mentor's welcome gift was saved, he hands you the Tent Kit as soon as you enter the Office. Nobody walks out to Burrows without one.
- Burrows' first talk is one page shorter. Home upgrades are explained later, in your tent and when you report Chapter 1 to him.
- The quest log always opens at the top. Before, it often opened half way down the Main tab, past the chapter and its first tasks.
- Pressing F with nothing nearby no longer says "Can't place items indoors" when you aren't even holding anything.
- Shaking a tree tells you how many sticks you got, without map coordinates.
- Item texts now say Mentor everywhere (some still said Guide).
Camera
- When the camera gets squeezed against a wall, your tent or a tree, your own character is hidden instead of filling the screen with white.
Fishing rods
- Every rod (Basic, Pro, Bronze, Iron, Gold and Blackstone) has a new icon made from the 3D rod you hold, in the same style as the other tool icons. They show up in your Backpack, on the Tool Wheel, in crafting and at the shops.
Website
- The Items, Crafting, Fishing and Gear pages show the new rod icons.
