Yeah, I know. What I meant was the method adding the additional requirement to make them is pointless, I certainly didn't use it.
Sheers and pickaxe, having them equipped gives no extra yield of banewood thorns. Its info probably answers why, so maybe introduce tool upgrades in the future.
The materials info box when you hover over them, it doesn't appear on the first try but second one. Adding a filter to separate them by region might be a good idea later on.
Skip button/end replay to cutscenes and gallery; using Nyla's first sex cutscene in the gallery's entry instead, like they did with Melphi.
More capture pods, and having the characters present and interactable with in their assigned rooms (Melphi's dialogue suggests this).
Excellent game otherwise, looking forward to seeing more!
