Hey Beekeepers!
It’s been a hot minute - welcome to all our new pocket beekeepers reppin’ on the Switch <3
This update is mostly to cover a bunch of stuff that has come from our handheld friends, although anyone who plays with a controller or on Steam Deck will also benefit from the changes and fixes!
As you might have seen on Twitter we’ve started work on all the new goodies for the Butterfly Update - it’ll be a while before that update is out though as there’s a lot of stuff coming with it!

Changes
- You can now drop half of a stack of items when holding them into an empty slot using Square/X/Y (quick move button) on gamepad/console
- When closing a menu while still holding an item on gamepad/console, the dropped item will now be further from the player so it's not picked up immedietely
- Increased retrigger speed for holding down slot movement/chapter selection dpad/analogue stick on Switch
- Added the ability to sort your backpack by R stick clicking an empty slot (like crates) on gamepad/console

- If it hasn't rained in 3 days in a row after Day 4 then the chance of rain will be doubled (swamps still remain 100% chance)
- Grandpa's Axe will now appear in the Lost+Found if you didn't look after it (single tear cry emoji)
- Changed a lot of the slot selection in machines on gamepad/console so things should feel more "correct" moving around slots (instead of moving the cursor to the bottom storage bar)
