Summary

0005745: "Things to do" tab in planning screen

Description

I think having something that collected lists of what you can do right now would be really helpful for new player experience. It's a bit confusing now, and most of the planning screen lists are mixes of things you can do right away --- reach level 2 in a desert cave, for example --- and things that you cannot do until you finish an entire continent, like finding a stash in a lava tower. I think it would want to collect known missions, unlocks which you can complete at once, and guardian power scrolls for which you have the prerequisites. Possibly also have a link to a list of spells you're ready to unlock, but it would be better not to push learning spells too hard; since it might make players think they can't wait until they get the ingredients for a spell they really want.

I'd also suggest having a notification go with rare commodity unlocks that makes it clear that you won't see the new commodity until you finish a mission and generate new ones; this seems like something that could confuse players.
