Switch features: Online/offline removal, internet check

[CrimsonStrider]

As a switch user, DST is one of the few games you can't seamlessly play as you go. 

First, please remove the separation of offline and online worlds. When I'm traveling I cannot play my online worlds without a stable connection. At work, on a plane, in a foreign country I've just not played DST when I would have liked to because of this. I want to work on an online world and can't, and am limited to making an offline world that I'll never be able to invite my friends to.

Please make it so that an online world can be played solo with no internet connection. 

Also please make it so that when playing offline, the game doesn't constantly check for an internet connection. If you select offline you still get several internet connection prompts when loading a world, and you can't press the power button to suspend your game without it saying you've lost connection and need to exit. That makes no sense.

If there's a good reason that these can't be implemented, please explain. 

To reiterate. Make it possible to switch worlds from online mode to offline and vice versa.

Remove the excess internet check when selecting offline.

When playing offline allow the switch the ability to pause the software when you press the power button and resume the waking.
