This was supposed to be a smaller bugfix build, but it got out of hand...
You know what else can get out of hand, now? FENCES!
We've placed building zones on top of fence posts, which means you can now put things like lamps, cartons of milk, tables, or other fences on fences.
In that screenshot, you may notice a couple of new things: A placeable cardboard box and some torches!
This update brings in a couple of new things:
- Bell Pepper seeds can now be purchased at the Grocer's after completing MIAO 2
- Bell Peppers can be harvested early when they're green for a bitter veggie, or one stage later when they're red for a sweet veggie
- A stick + bell pepper will yield you a Roasted Pepper
- A stick + any fruit will yield you a Grilled Fruit. I hope the Grilled Fruit helps those early on in their Snacko journey to restoring lots of stamina for cheap!
- You can now place a Torch or a Floating Torch. These items are given by the D.I.Why quest early game. If you are beyond that point, please purchase those two recipes for cheap at your local Carpenter's! This came from a request in our Discord for a light source that did not require Myst Crystals for early game
- You can now place Box (stackable and has a surface) and also an Open Box (functions as a bed). You can place other buildables inside the Open Box for maximum chaos
- The Quest Board is now craftable instead of being a pinball only item - buy the crafting recipe at your local Carpenter's!
As for bug fixes, we've had a bunch of micro updates on and off the past couple of days. You might've noticed your game updating in the wee hours of the night. Sorry, our sleep schedules are terrible.
Those bug fixes are usually limited to a couple of save files or situations, so we don't post patch notes for them.
Now, while using the World Theme "Darker", the dialogue box will turn into Night Mode!
Remember, you can always adjust the strength of the World Theme in the settings using the slider. You can find World Theme inside Settings -> Video. Please give this a try if the brightness of Snacko strains your eyes.
This new quality of life addition is for new players: many players were getting lost on why they can't till the ground in the farming tutorial. I've added a little area indicator to show that the farm tiles are behind Nobu. This is a common issue so we hope this will help!
The item descriptions for the Crafting and Cookbook are now also slightly larger for those playing on Steam Deck.
And that's about it! We hope you enjoy the new fence stacking and items for your island!
