Mini Map Resource Thingies!

Don't know when these were added, but I love that you can see resources in the mini map in the upper right corner now. Awesome!

Observations:

A couple of the resources are difficult to make out (bean trees, for one). However, sparkly and fruit trees are very visible. Can the colors of the drab resources be a bit more vivid so they jump out at me?

Is this supposed to be dynamic and real-time? Such as, if I mine a sprakly, will the mini map update immediately? Or is it the current resources available upon street load time? Or is it something else, like does it show where sparkly is, regardless of whether a rock is currently available?

Either way, a subtle touch, but very very nice.

(If this has alwyas been there, then I apologize)

  • The street "map" is just a snapshot of how the street was when it was first developed.  Trees in particular may not actually be the same as shown on the map.  That image has been there for as long as I have played, which goes back to alpha

  • Wait, wait, wait. The mini map in the upper right corner of the play screen? I'm not referring to the load screen.

    I can't remember seeing teeny tiny sparkly on that teeny tiny map before.

    Edit: This only seems to be on certain streets, but is most noticable in the mining areas and a few housing blocks with cherry trees. Doesn't seem to be on every street.

  • Noticed this at Neva Neva, then went to where I saw the sparkly and it wasn't there, so I'm guessing it's the same sort of idea.
