Summary0000983: A little improvement for the "Broken Pipe"
DescriptionVersion 0.16.1. See attachment.

As SummerTime Saga becomes bigger, many players have difficulties to follow all the quests inside the game. You can have up to 12 quests at the same time. One way to answer this problem is to help them to stay on track.
I offer one suggestion with the "Broken Pipe" quest, but it could be applied to others.

At each step during this quest, MC is able to go outside. It encourages the players to begin new quests, before finishing the last one. And it has no interest because this quest:
1- ... doesn't require any money or any tool in the first steps.
2- ... doesn't require any stat.
3- ... doesn't have a specific timer (date or day time).
4- ... doesn't add time to the day.
5- ... could be considered as an urgent case, the bathroom being flooded.

Solution: when the quest begins, the outside door and the map should be locked (with a message) until the need of the wrench.

Note that Debbie says there is water everywhere, but if MC enters the bathroom during the evening/night, then the location isn't flooded.

I add an illustration on how the day-night cycle is messed up badly in this event. It will surely be fixed when Jenny's storyline will use the fsm.

Also, a small detail you could change in the text:

Once I got back home I headed upstairs to fix the bathroom sink.
->
I returned to the bathroom to fix the sink.

MC can already have bought the wrench.
