I often find myself playing for awhile, then, before I log out, start a building project. But then I come back the next day (or a few days later). I’m interested to see what’s changed / which projects have completed, but there appears to be no indication. Maybe nice to have a small quest in some cases to “speak to Whitacker about the updates” or something to 1) let you know it’s done and is something new, 2) give you a feeling of accomplishment. Maybe even give a small “thanks” like a chair to place in your house, or a potion or … something.
I went 3 days of playing without noticing that the 2 store got upgraded into buildings. I’m not new to video games, I just never went that way, and was enjoying my time farming the glades and the nameless pass…etc.
