GUESS WHAT?
It was our birthday on the 20th, and now it's our big update day, which means it's time for a SPECIAL birthday-themed patch notes! You can just leave all your gifts in the corner over there. Also, take one of these party poppers, and you can set it off at the end: ????????????????????????????????????
Let's start with the new things!
New things
- You can now do good for the environment with the new RECYCLER! Do not put Spirits in the Recycler.
- JUICE! You can make juice now!
- A small greenhouse that doesn't take up as much room
- Four new Spirits, including TWO crossovers, and one that's shaped like... a hand? Wait, don't we already have a hand Spirit...?
- New DLC: Autumn Accessories!
- New decor (check the update post on Steam for a full list!)
- NEW BARN EXTERIOR! It's the first time we're doing this!!!!
- We heard you like water, so we put some water in your water. Bottles now contain 10x water, for easier cooking!
- Did one of your tools go missing? We added some new code that will restore your lost tools! Just pretend the tool fairies found it for you
- Paolo invented stepladders, which means it's now easier to place objects higher up on walls
- Increased tab size in settings menu for all platforms
- Updated “exhaust” icon on cards to look more like a bin, because "bin" is a better indicator of exhaust than a red arrow
Now the bug fixes! I made sure they're birthday-cake-flavoured, so open wide:
Bug Fixes
- You can't put warp totems (and other special items) in chests anymore
- Moved the white selection box behind the item quantity number in inventory/crafting screens for better readability
- You can now split stacks in the bottom inventory row
- Fish icons are now displayed properly in crafting recipes
- Optimized collision masks in NPC hobby animations (so you can bump into them better)
- You can no longer click/touch items on the inventory bar when the UI is hidden
- When you're looking at lures in your toolbar, it doesn't say "Equip" any more (since you can only do this from your inventory, not the toolbar)
- Mouse cursor now changes to a little hand when hovering over items that can be picked up
- You can't feed Spirits Old Boots anymore
- We fixed the Wine and Beer items, and they should actually have an effect on stamina now! This also fixes the "She Did Warn You" achievement and the Dish of the Day bug
- The "Water" icon is now slightly different, so it doesn't look like a potion
- YOU CAN'T EAT YOUR BROOM ANYMORE
- Placing objects on tables is now a bit easier
- Ferra's date responses in German were backwards, so we fixed that (turns out she was using Duolingo upside-down)
- Selling seeds to Gaiana and Ofelia now has the text "Sell Seeds" instead of just "Sell"
- Fixed the Holo Potion – it was disabling after *any* Spirit tame, not just Holo Spirit tames
But don't forget – we have our massive update AND our DLC out today, so there's a ton of stuff we didn't fit into this rather facts-driven birthday patch notes. Make sure to read all our Steam posts and update your game for the full thing!
Okay, let's set off the party poppers now. YAY, BIRTHDAY!
