Summary0028602: show available contemplations in top right
DescriptionThe top right checklist is the first place to look for guidance on what to do next (the game explicitly teaches you this), and contemplations are a super important way of moving forwards. But, sometimes you aren't aware of a new one becoming available (missed it, forgot, etc). It'd be great if there was an item on the list just below the projects that said how many contemplations are available and had a tooltip that listed and named them all. Bonus points if you can click on it to switch to the contemplation view and cycle the camera view through each of their locations.

Oh no, definitely not on this one. Hah. :)

Contemplations are side content, unless the top right directs you to them. So people missing them, or outright choosing not to do them, is the intended flow. During chapter two, how many contemplations you do is actually a way of titrating difficulty: https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=HotM:Game_Difficulty

I'm not even telling players when a new contemplation opens up, because overall it's just meant to be kind of a thing they discover every so often, or when they get stuck they start looking there first.
