Info mode changes!
I hope some of you noticed that we recently introduced Info-getting mode (press the "i" key in the game to see it). On first launch we did not make too big a deal of it because it lacked some stuff. But it is no longer lacking said stuff.
Stuff:
1) Gardens and street spirits (vendors) and shrines now all glow blue in info mode, and can be clicked on to get info on them.
2) You can now search for all of the above using the search field at the top of info mode.
3) In the info window for the above items (and many other resource items) there is now data on where you can find the nearest such item, and even a link to set a path to that location. NO MORE HUNTING ON THE WORLD MAP FOR THE VENDOR OR SHRINE YOU NEED TO FIND!
There are some things that are still not perfect, like we can't find a route to an item when you are in an imagination space (like your home), and the glow on gardens seems finicky, but we hope to have fixes for these things at some point :)
So give it a whirl!

- yay for nearest item search!!!
- Holy cow. #3? AMAZING!
- YAY!
- I had no idea this was even a thing!
- [fnibbit in disguise here] Thank you from the bottom of live help's heart.

"...like we can't find a route to an item when you are in an imagination space (like your home)"
I know what it feels... :)
- GlitchRemote - I am in Ilmenski. The nearest Hardware vendor is in Cebarkul but the info page says it's in Middle Valley Clearing which is much further away.
- That's not a hardware vendor, that's a tool vendor.
- I'm deeply in love with #3. :D

- You are correct! Thank you!
- Wow 3 I really nice.
- 3 is awesome!
- I love it to, now I just have to remember the difference between Hardware and Tools.
- I'm not sure if this is related, but it may be: I looked at a shrine in info mode, and then I meditated, and then I used the mouse to hover over the cool-down buff, but no text appeared. It doesn't appear for other buffs anymore, either.
- Wow! That is VERY BLUE!!! Kind of startling at first, but totally awesome!

DUDE! - Does the function of plotting a route to the nearest object of a given type include the subway? When using Zog's Glitchy Tools I loved how it would sometime give me a reason to ride the train. :)
- +1 - WTG! Eric - you can go home now. Have a great weekend )
- AMAZING, tysm :D

I'm missing the map stuff completely. *is confused* (like, not game buggy missing (I assume), but personally not seeing it)
edit: hubby helped me :) -
i've been smiling since i found this glow blue stuff, days ago!! it could be any other color, but no, it's blue! and i love it! and i love you!
great info mode, great features! thank you:)) -
This is fantastic!
Maybe you could convince the game to pretend that you're at your Last Known World Location when you try to do things like set a path from imagined space/home/seam streets/etc. That would solve the issue both for the in-game uses and the API calls, I'd think. - Ooooo no more going to fan sites for #3! Sweet!

Magic Monkey, re "Maybe you could convince the game to pretend that you're at your Last Known World Location when you try to do things like set a path from imagined space/home/seam streets/etc"
That's the idea exactly (for complicated reasons it is not straightforward to do so, but it will happen)! - OMG!!! This is AMAZING!! What a great great change!
- No more searching for a shrine using the map hover? Thank STOOT!
- +3 OMG i love #3 !!!!!!!!!!!
- While it has been around for a while in various api tools, nearest feature tip is quite a hot thing indeed
- #3 =Unbelievably-wildest-dreams-ably amazing.
- #3 doesn't seem to be working when using the GPU based viewer.
- This is really handy!
- +3 :D
- I just used the "i-mode" for first time to find the nearest Humbumba Shrine. It worked beautifully! Such a handy-dandy tool. Thank you!
- I agree that #3 is awesomesauce!
- come home to mama, #3!!
- OMG!!!..Cool!! :)
- Number 3 works really well. Thanks!
