Hey thanks for playing!
Yeah it was my first attempt at a 3d game so I ended up spending a lot of time learning and ran out of energy/time for polish to explain things like that!
It was intended that you fall coming back with the wood so that you realise it is a safe way to bring materials home even if you run out of fuel later. I had planned to add a little sheep that walks off the side on loop and spawns back to make you know in advance this is intended but I ended up prioritizing other things! I think I last minute added some dialog from Nimbo hinting to things ending up back here, but I added too much dialog to be honest I doubt anyone reads it!
