Progress Debug Screen (Cozy Grove) – Spry Fox Support

What is it?

Added in version 2.1.0, the Progress Debug Screen lets you see how far you’ve progressed in each bear’s storyline. It’s basically an internal Customer Support tool that we’re exposing so players can easily get and share information that will let others help them. As a result, it won't be pretty or translated, but it should be functional.

Why does it exist?

We field a lot of questions to the effect of, "I've been waiting for a particular bear to do something and it hasn't happened yet—did I encounter a bug?". That's not an easy question to answer unless we know the last thing that happened in each bear's storyline and when it happened, which varies from player to player (while each bear's story milestones come in the same order, not all players complete each milestone at the same speed). Unfortunately most players don't remember all of the details we need. But the game tracks these things internally. The Progress Debug Screen exposes what the game knows about these details so that players can easily share this information with the people helping them (either our support staff, or other players on Discord/Reddit, or even the player themself).

How do I access it?

If using a mouse or touchscreen

Open the backpack. (Do this even if you can already see the inventory slots described in future steps—it just seems to work more consistently.)
Identify the first, second, and third inventory slots in the following manner:
1. The square that contains (or would contain) the "equipped item" is the "first" slot. On all screen layouts this square is visible on the left bar.
2. If your screen layout has multiple inventory slots on the left bar, the "second" slot is the square below the first slot, and the "third" slot is the one below that.
3. If you screen layout has only one inventory slot on the left bar, the "second" slot is the upper-left square of the backpack grid, and the "third" slot is the square next to it on the top row.
Within 6 seconds, tap/click those slots in the pattern described below. (Sorry; I know, this is a very short amount of time in which to do 11 taps/clicks.) The line breaks are just for grouping the taps/clicks mentally—you don't have to pause between each group.
- First First First
- Second Second Second
- First Second
- First Second Third
A screen should come up that says "Debugging" at the top. If not, close the backpack and wait about 10 seconds, then open it and try again.

If using a controller

Note: As of version 2.1.0 there's a bug preventing this from working with controllers. The bug will hopefully be fixed in version 2.3.0 (we missed the cutoff for getting the fix into version 2.2.0). If you have a touchscreen, please try with that instead.

Open the backpack.
Look at 4 buttons on the right side of your controller (the ABXY buttons on Switch and Xbox controllers, or the Triangle, Square, Circle, X buttons on a PlayStation controller). Assuming the top of the controller is "north," identify the first, second, and third buttons in the following manner:
- The south-most of those buttons is the "first" button. This is B on a Switch controller, A on an Xbox controller, and X on a PlayStation controller.
- The west-most of those buttons is the "second" button. This is Y on a Switch controller, X on an Xbox controller, and Square on a PlayStation controller.
- The north-most of those buttons is the "third" button. This is X on a Switch controller, Y on an Xbox controller, and Triangle on a PlayStation controller.
Within 6 seconds, press the buttons in the pattern described below. (Sorry; I know, this is a very short amount of time in which to do 11 button presses.) The line breaks are just for grouping the presses mentally—you don't have to pause between each group.
- First First First
- Second Second Second
- First Second
- First Second Third
A screen should come up that says "Debugging" at the top. If not, close the backpack and wait about 10 seconds, then open it and try again.

How do I read it?

There should be one line on the Progress Debug Screen for each of the bears with a storyline that already exists on the island. If the bear hasn't yet come to the island, there won't yet be a line for it.
Each line on the Progress Debug Screen has three fields:
- Internal name of a bear (e.g., "ranger" is Ranger Bear, a.k.a. Charlotte Pine)
- The numeric ID of the last milestone completed in that bear's storyline, or "N/A" if you've not yet completed any milestones related to that bear's storyline
  - Some milestones are completed by completing a particular Story Quest
  - Other milestones are completed by simply having a particular conversation with that bear
- The date when that last milestone completion took place, or "N/A" if the milestone ID was "N/A". (For time travelers, this is the game date, not the real date.) The date format is yyyy-mm-dd (year-month-day).

How is this useful?

Here are a few applications:

If you know, for example, that you're supposed to get such-and-such item after completing Veggie Bear's Quest 14, you can look at this screen to see if you've already completed Veggie Bear's Quest 14. If so (as in the screenshot above—this player has completed not only Quest 14 but also Quest 15), either you have the item or used the item or something went wrong.
Related to the above, if you know that such-and-such happens when a certain milestone is completed, you can see what milestone you've most recently completed for that bear and get an idea of how far away that thing is from happening.
After a milestone is complete, a bear will wait a certain number of calendar days (not campaign days) before either having the next milestone conversation or issuing the next milestone quest. This number is specific to each milestone. While it's beyond the scope of this FAQ to tell you each number for each milestone, someone who knows the numbers can tell you if you've been waiting too long by counting the days between the last completion date and today's date.
- In our experience, the problem has never been that the game forgot to give a player the next milestone. It's always been one of the following:
  - The player forgot that they haven't yet completed the bear's current milestone quest
  - The player hasn't yet waited enough days for the next milestone
  - The bear is ready for the next milestone quest/conversation but the player hasn't talked to the bear
- Note that the printed completion date is just a calendar date, so if you completed the milestone between 12am and 5am (when the calendar date has changed but the campaign day hasn't yet changed) then things might seem to be off by 1.
- We know that it would be useful if this screen showed not just the completion dates but also how many days you've been waiting. We plan to add this in a future version.

Some milestones we get asked about a lot

There are seven Scout Book Pages in the game, and two quests that require them. You can turn in any Scout Book Pages you want for either quest, but:
- The first time Ranger Bear asks for Scout Book Pages (Ranger Bear's 7th milestone), the three she expects are from:
  - Seagull Bear's 3rd milestone
  - Wooden Bear's 3rd milestone
  - Postal Bear's 2nd milestone
- The second time Ranger Bear asks for Scout Book Pages (Ranger Bear's 11th milestone), the four she expects are from:
  - Maker Bear's 10th milestone
  - Baker Bear's 5th milestone
  - Mayor Bear's 2nd milestone
  - Veggie Bear's 2nd milestone
Spirit Evidence
- Scaredy Bear's 9th milestone is when you receive the Spirit Evidence. It's a conversation with Bruin Tram--no questing involved.
- Retiree Bear's 14th milestone is when Arjun asks for the Spirit Evidence.
The Motorcycle Key is received after completing Veggie Bear's 14th milestone
The quest with the Seditious Flyers and the Rebellious Spirits is Revolutionary Bear's 3rd milestone.
The Compass is received after completing Ranger Bear's 26th milestone.
- In a future version (probably version 2.3.0), the Compass will be a hidden object and thus no longer be given by a Ranger Bear milestone.
