Yep as this game is so early in development we've deliberately not done this yet. But we'll definitely be doing something along the lines of what you're suggesting.
Thanks!
I think two of the most fundamental things lacking in the game, is a better sense of progress and a more visible objective. At this point of development, I agree that is not necessary this kind of feature, but as the content of the game grows, it will be necessary, or new players would be very confused.
