Really loving the game so far. It was my first purchase along with my PS4, and I'm having a blast. I do have a question though. Is there any way to check your current missions and their objectives outside of talking to the quest giver? I can't seem to find that information anywhere.
There is no in-game quest list, I am sorry to say. You can see a one-line summarized description of your quest in the word bubble over the quest-giver's head, but that's it. Thankfully there are usually only two or three town quests at any time.
I have some questions about the city building. My starting city is getting pretty crowded and now some dude wants me to build a watchtower. Can I build one outside of the city and right next to it?
I don't think so. You need to build the blueprint inside the town limits. However, you are free to tear it down as soon as the quest is finished, against the spirit of the request as that is. If you are running out of space to put things in your town, you can always expand vertically by building second floors or basements.
For the base bonus of anything to apply, it needs to be in a room, right? I have that giant chest plopped down in the open and don't seem to be getting base points from it. Same thing with tiles.
That is correct; the contents of rooms are the only things that are added to your score. That includes the value of the blocks that make up yhe floors and walls as well.
Are most room recipes unlocked through normal progression, found in the wild, or do you have to "stumble" upon them through experimentation? I feel like I should have more recipes but I don't know if I'm doing it wrong by not experimenting
A lot of room types are given to you as part of the story quests, but many are not. Each chapter usually has at least one or two blueprints that can be found in caves, unusual structures, or from optional sidequests. There are also a few room types that the town residents will hint at, but are not formally given as part of a quest. If a resident talks about putting certain objects in a room, it is usually a clue to a hidden room recipe. Furthermore, there are several room types I've found that can only be discovered via experimentation. The
for example. Finally, there are a couple room types that people will tell you about in later chapters that can be feasibly built in earlier ones.
Just got the game today. Where do I find the day one dlc in-game?
All of the DLC is only found in the free build mode, called Terra Incognita. You need to clear the first chapter of the game to unlock that, first.
