Hey rereading that last bit just gave me an interesting idea...
What if when leaning into a door you knocked on it instead of opening it. Then an NPC could come and let you into their home.
There are going to be behavioral differences for sure in Scan Mode. Probably that would be one of those things that only happens in Scan Mode so that you don't knock on a door while fleeing a monster.
Doors are actually a real challenge. Like I spoke to Verdite about the lack of doors in his village. Mainly because I want people to make doors. But it occurred to me that doors would totally change the tone of the village. It wouldn't be as inviting. Still houses need doors. So I suggested coming up with a way for the doors to be opened when the map is opened. Being able to knock but not being forced to would be the last step in totally bridging that gap. NPCs could even behave differently if you were not invited inside.
