Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

So I noticed that new characters now know of the nearest city/town. Neat!

That made me think: Shouldn't a character with a skating hobby know where the nearest skating park is? And a character who has boxing as a hobby should know of a boxing gym, right?

And shouldn't everyone know where the nearest grocery store is?

Solution you would like.

It would be really cool if knowledge of certain landmarks, depending on hobbies and/or professions, could be added to the game.

Of course, one should not only know where it is, but also the route to get there (maybe not from the starting point, but from the city/town which is known at the start).

Describe alternatives you have considered.

Maybe hobbies and/or professions could add maps of certain kinds to the starting gear.

Research direction
Research the game's map generation and knowledge system. Understand how characters initially know of cities and how hobbies/professions are defined. Then implement a system that links character hobbies to knowledge of nearby landmarks (e.g., skating park, boxing gym, grocery store). Also provide route knowledge from known city.
