It makes sense, though. You went back to a time before they were gathered. Besides, who doesn't get them all, then gets the reward on the first dungeon run? If you start at Day 1 - Dawn and slow time, you have no excuse to miss a faerie.

• Added Main Map editor (access by menu: Tools/Main Map Editor)
  
• Added Area Editor (allows changing a couple of Area-specific variables. access by menu: Tools/Area Editor.)
  
• Added Tile editor in Tile allocation mode.
  
• Heavily improved "Data management" mode. The functionality of it is complete (for the data types featured), and it has been tested a good deal.
  
• Added an editor in Miscellaneous mode for changing items in Neutral Area chambers (including Flare Bomb, Machine Gun, communicators Beta, Gamma and Delta.)
  
• Added a Menu, along with some new file functions ("Open ROM", "Revert" and "Save As".)
  
• Changed the base GUI, removed the "Room Selector" / "SAVE" buttons and placed those features in the menu instead.
  
• Made it so the Map Layout editing mode synchronize Rooms which use the same Pointer, Height and Width. This way, when a Room's Width or Height is changed,
  the Rooms that shares pointer (BG graphics look identical) becomes synchronized to the changes. (This should remove frustrations with using
  those functions for certain Rooms, which would pretty much make every Room that shared its pointer, un-editable/corrupt).
  The synchronized Room Ids (if any) are displayed in a Edit control in the Map Layout GUI.
  
• Fixed a bug with pointer table handling, which would (among other possible things) cause pointers to become wrong/off when increasing
  Room Height in Map Layout mode. (in other words, a Room besides the one you incresed Height for would become corrupted in earlier versions.)
  
• Enhanced the Map editing mode GUI:
  • Changed the selection grid functionality and looks.
    
  • Made new bitmaps for "Physics" properties selector.
    
  • Added a graphical representation of the Tile32 blocks generated, which is updated as you edit the map. If there isn't enough space to
    generate Tile32 blocks for the whole map, the display is shaded in red.
    
  • Added a list showing the Room Ids that shares Tile32 data with the current Room.
    
  • The editor displays a status message (under "Editing status:") when Tile32 block limit (146) has been exceeded.
    
  • Added an option to show sprite of Rad below mouse when you press Shift. Only his "aim bionic arm diagonally" sprite is programmed in though.
    
  
  
• Transformed the editor's setup of hard-coded data, and list text files in the base folder, to a new module system where it loads all
  those things from a YAML file + the text files, from a chosen folder in the "modules" subfolder of the editor.
  This gives hackers the means to change the ROM offsets that the editor uses, and other kinds of datas.
  
• Added a auto-scrolling function in Unit placement mode for when a Unit is being moved, where it scrolls when you move the mousepointer to or
  outside the border of the Room display.
  
• Changed Unit moving with mouse so that the relative difference between the point of button-click and the unit's coordinates are taken into
  account when units are moved.
  
• Reprogrammed Room Selector to not cause memory usage spikes when the room previews are drawn.
  
• For the sprites that have NES sprite simulation, fixed the addresses for those for the Top Secret module, so sprites don't look corrupted anymore
  for the Japanese ROM.
  
• Finished Room Id name list, and improved Unit Id name list.
  
• Various bug-fixes.
  
• Various corruption-prevention / safety mechanisms implemented. For example, Room Ids with "00" as Height and Width values can't be used in
  Map Layout / Map editing modes (without fixing them in Data Management). Also, when the Map Layout data refers to screen indexes past the
  allocation list size, the Map editing mode will show them as faded and you won't be able to (accidently or not) edit those screens.

will a tile editor/viewer come in a future update?
