Just encountered this issue, I'm in a game right now solo, and unstuck seems to just move me to the same spot. And I agree with unstuck being unhelpful for these situations.
I'm still waiting for this feature. Especially now with this game being playable on a Steam Deck and other PC handhelds. At the very least have our Steam accounts sign us in for us for those using the Steam client.
The changes are an improvement, but I hope future heirlooms will have more purchasing freedom instead of trying to convince players to buy more than they need.
