Suggestion: Reframe "Amber" nodes to "Echo" supercategory; include "Infected" nodes

Palia MapNow that I've completed the new story, I think it would make more sense to list the magic royal highland nodes covered in yellow goop (aka "amber echo", a type of echo that traps creatures in time or personal memory) in the same supercategory as the magic elderwood nodes covered in purple goop (aka "infected essence", a type of Echo that parasitically imparts another's emotions and will). I suspect we will encounter further kinds of echo in subsequent areas. A good name for this category (for now) would be "Echo".

mangogamr5/18/2026I'd say absolutely not. The elderwood needs specialized gear to gather. The highlands does not. And besides an achievement I didn't even know existed until a moment ago. There is no real reason to even care about that ngs being in amber or not except for a minimal boost in amber collected. A better distinction between amber encased or not would be nice. But for the most part there's no need to know if anything is encased. The existing method is nice. As the base filter shows everything. Then there's an extra symbol for amber if we turn it on. However we only have general categories which sucks. As the other person mentioned subcategories in the current method would be nice. So you can turn on amber notification for only the flame queen and nothing else. To reduce clutter. But again as the amber serves no real purpose having 2 extra filters (starred things can be in amber) when we want to look for something that doesn't need specialized gear is a lot of extra steps to set/remove filters anytime we want to change things.
mangogamr5/18/2026-That being said I just had an idea that would be really nice to have for amber and infected and regular things. That may be good to make its own suggestion for.. In the spot where we can change the size/set an audio alert for specific things. Add a few buttons -Enable all (turns on/off all of that filter. All the regular flame queens/starred/regular infected/starred infected/etc) -Enable same type (enables only all regular flame queens and ignores starred ones) -Enable same infection(enable all regular and starred amber encased flame queens and ignores elderwood/non infected ones)
mangogamr5/18/2026Basically add an easy toggle for the different variants so regardless of what filters are added it's user friendly to set them all if we don't care. Or enable specific things for achievements or whatever our reason for hunting
mangogamr5/18/2026Would also open up an option to quickly enable all sizes of gold nodes with one click for example. Instead of having to add the small medium and large. Then find the amber encased small medium and large.

mangogamr5/18/2026The visual part still needs to be addressed. But I think that's a really good solution to the filter part
