For this update I did go back and re-do some of the code for the sailor-route yeah. It was initially very obscure on how to get it, which wasn't a big problem because it featured only a very small amount of content (like one scene/encounter). Because this update expanded quite a bit on the route, I decided to also try and make it a little easier to access.
Right now the way that it works is:
I hope to add in additional, even more obvious ways (like going to the docks), but for now this is the way that it works.
As always, I hope everyone can understand that in terms of coding I am in all truth, a borderline imbecile.
