For control points, you can press "P" at any time to see it, maybe I'll make it more clear next update.
As for friendship (?) events and variety, I have them planned and I want to do it but currently the game's code is trash (even after already being remade 1-2 times), and it'll most likely break if I try to add more stuff. That's why I'm working on an overhaul/remake in parallel with normal updates, it'll be a while until that's done though :p
Yeah, I know it's not the best thing to do but I've abandoned the art of disappearing for months until I have enough content, since I feel like it's stealing money from patrons.
Should be fine though, been working on this for a while and have made good progress, if I ever feel like I need to dedicate exclusively to it, I'll do that.
