There is an npc in Lalizan in Dorgania who explains the stone plates to you. The dialog is necessary to be able to active the stone plates in the rest of the world, and to use them for fast travel. Other locations are activated through events, so you can get them even without this dialog.

You can scroll down the list to see different types of items. But I think the item was in the "usable" section, however, since the last update, there is an icon on the fast travel screen to select the thieves guild and teleport there without having to look for the item in your inventory.
It's also possible to walk to the thieves guild by using the same path you took the first time you went there.

After advancing the main story, which goes past the dialog with Varea that used to mark the previous end of the story, you have a sparkling note in the meeting room on the right side of the sleeping chambers in your castle in Aldlyn.

You have to use the present icon in the bottom right of the CG room page "Main Chars" to replay the "Christmas Scene 2018". After watching it this way once, the CG scene will also be counted as unlocked for Ryoko's scene counter and scene selection.

The command center is a big building between the vanguard's barracks and red keep. You need to construct it on the country management map first, before it can be accessed. For the construction itself to become visible, you have to research the command center in the laboratory first. It's the star icon below the upgrade to country tech level 2.

You need the Dusty Crafting Book to get the upgrading screen as an option for the nature raid and fire raid anvil. The book can be found in a chest in the fire raid area on the right side after finishing a solo raid run.

My bad. I missed that image somehow during the upload. It's added to the wiki now.

The location is where the stone plates are on the other maps.

You can't directly access the save folder, but you can use the option to export saves from the menu on android, and then use the import option on any other system to import that created file.

You can meet her in act 1 of the time skip events of the main story:

Yes. The guide is at the bottom of the walkthrough pdf file, in the FAQ section for riddle solutions, or in the wiki at https://renryuu.miraheze.org/wiki/Riddles#Lum's_orpahanage_-_Dungeon_of_Cookie_a...
It's also possible to use a Riddle Key item to skip the entire area, if it's too frustrating.

After the wine party, you can talk with Aryan again, to buy Yesem from him. After buying her, you can talk with her in your brothel near Aldlyn to get her solo CG scene.

Maybe you bought and accidently equipped the accessory item "Spiked Choker"? It causes the character that wears it to act automatically in battles.

Every 5 turns, a star icon appears at Aldlyn or in the management screen which you acess via the sparkling icon near the "turn end" and "exit" buttons. This star icon gives you your taxes and other stuff.
The logistic points to advance turns are refreshed over time automatically.

If it's a windows laptop, you download the "Renryuu Ascension 24.10.23 [Windows Version].zip" file and use winrar or a similar programm to unpack the .zip. In the folder is a "Game.exe" which you can interact with to start the game.

I wasn't sure if it's possible, so I tried something that could work:
- In the \www\js folder is a plugins.js file which contains everything set in the plugins for the game. Open the file and search with crtl+f for "YEP_MainMenuManager" to get to the part where every option of the menu is listed. Every possible slot for the menu is listed, even when emtpy, so there are a lot of entires for Menu X with X being the number of the location in the menu.
- The entries for save and load are in the menu slots 85 and 86. I exchanged those entries with the empty slots in 93 and 94 to put them below the other menu options.

My test attempt seems to work. You can download the plugin.js and try to replace yours with this file: https://mega.nz/file/OpQVDKbJ#_6hk2KJmNuPu3VGSmoFWZbeybtbeYtC0bziunapGT1w

In the top row is Grey, and in the bottom row is Palasha. Both have their weddings in the time skip phase of the main story.

There is a step by step list for the main story events in the wiki: https://renryuu.miraheze.org/wiki/Story

Try to talk with Akai and select the choice "Ask about Akai". There is a chance you don't have the scene yet, and the counter for the number of scenes you have unlocked is wrong. 

- I have notes for the planned future content and changes that should get done at some point. However, things like the change to the main menu are usually spontaneous. They happen either because of a connection to something else I do at the time that make me notice/realize something, or because players make suggestions that result in the changes or improvements of old content.

- An order of progression for the walkthrough is impossible, given that the players decide in what order they do the content in an open world game. It'd only work for the main story, which in the wiki has it's own page to explain all steps in order, but the rest can't be sorted in such a way. In my eyes, people will search for the specific quests when they can't advance it, which works the fastest with ctrl+f, or by searching for the name of the quest in the alphabetic order. I honestly don't see how a chronological order could work without a completely linear world, even with proper planning or writing. And to only sort connected quests in a chronological order while everything else is alphabetic would cause even more confusion.

In the meeting room in the bottom right of the sleeping chambers.

Yes. But you have to advance the main story to get to that point.

I don't mind extensive feedback. If you feel that it's wrong to post it here, you can send me a mail to Naughty-Netherpunch@web.de

Thanks for the reminder, that the skilltree quest has to be changed. :D The entrance was indeed an option in the normal menu, but was recently moved to the "Fast Travel" screen. The choices in the options menu aren't meant to be the primary way to go to it. The skilltree quest wasn't changed yet to explain how it works now. My mistake.

I like the analogy with the mansion on a foundation of sand a lot, because that's pretty much what happened. The game was originally started as a hobby project over 10 years ago, and step by step became more serious. Due to this, there was no proper planning for things in the early stages of the development, which cause a lot of holes and headaches in the aftermath.
I'll definitely re-do or improve some existing content later, but my priority is currently on finishing the story and unfinished side stories, so I probably won't make any big changes to old content anytime soon.

Thank you for your feedback.

The open world with a lot to do no matter where you go is pretty much intended, but I understand that it can be confusing and distracting at times. The quest log can hopefully help a bit with that, as the main story quests are supposed to give you some directions and guide you to places, but it's in the nature of an open world game that it's the players in the end who decide in what order they'll play the content.

The experience gained from enemies is definitely something I could take another look at and improve.

Not sure if or how I could implement a "map" or something like that, which could help the players to know which area is for what level. Currently, you figure it out by exploring and then retreating if the enemies turn out to be too hard. :D 

Updating on android works by installing the newer .apk. It automatically updates the game to the new version, after which you can continue the progress of your saves without having to move them at any point. 
The saves on android aren't in public folders, and can't be seen and accessed by normal means.

We already have? Alcena. (Nemelphia is a dryad, but also very similar with her deer body)

I'm not a fan of grinding for levels either, so I tried to reduce the grind with new items for more experience gain or level ups for characters below level 99, and other things like the automatic increase of character levels to a minimum level of 90 when you get to the time skip phase in the main story.
I tried to find a way to get the players to max level with content, so that they level while doing the dungeons and quests in the game, but especially after adding new classes with max level 200, this has become almost impossible to achieve.
I'll consider adding a cheat to increase levels, so that people who don't want to grind won't have to.

Oh....right....I forgot I didn't add that option to the public windows release. Since you can access the save files freely on windows, it felt rather redundant. :D
You can send me the android exported save file to my mail at Naughty-Netherpunch@web.de and I'll turn it into a normal windows save with the import feature. Afterwards, if everything works, I'll send you back the save for windows.
Sorry for the troubles.

Maybe you didn't progress the events of Elly? Or never went to the weapon factory you construct on the worldmap for Cassedy?

I think it works, but you have to "import" the file that was exported from android, not rename the file and treat it like it's a normal save file.

There are some options on the right side of the screen when you use the "Fast Travel" option, including the entrances to the skilltree.

It has a random chance to appear. Use the fast travel option to the sleeping chambers a few time, and repeatedly check on Hellhound.

You're probably just missing the step to walk out of the barracks to the worldmap and back, without the use of the fast travel option. The CG scene doesn't happen immediately after the quest.

For the future, it might help that there are 2 autosaves in slot 19 and 20, which are used alternating every 2,5 mins. So if one of them saved after a "problem" appeared, then you might still be able to use the other one.

In Crysthaven, a town in the country Amagal north of Central. The dungeon entrance is in the bottom left corner of Crysthaven. Ryoko is in that dungeon.

Go to your inventory, switch the category to weapons or armor, and then select a unique equipment piece. The item will give you the option to add augments based on the slots it has in that screen. You can't select the augments themselves first to put them into something, nor can you add augments in the "equip" screen where you change the equipment of characters..

I assume even the current SFW version would be questionable and would require some more content to get skipped or censored to make it possible.

You'll need at least version 24.09.24 for the next update files, but since the release was bugged, I'd adcive to install the hotfix if you want to play before the next version.

The import/export in the game is just for save files, since you can't access the save folder on android by normal ways. The game has to be installed on the new phone with the .apk in the same way as on the previous phone.

The newest android versions have an export/import feature in the menu to create copies of save slots and move them to other devices.

You select "Export" in the menu, type in the number of the save slot you want to export, and then you select where to save the file. Then you transfer the file to the other phone, and use the import option in the menu to get the exported save file integrated into the game on your new phone.

You unpack the zip and merge it with the game files.
(Make sure you don't skip versions when using update files, as they only contain the files that have been changed since the last full public release. The version number of the release they're for is always mentioned in the file name of the update files.)
