Can you believe it's been 2 weeks since we've launched? So many of you have shown your support for our cozy lil' game and we can't thank you enough.
It took us a bit, but we wanted to make sure we had everything as polished as we could make it for this update. We did our best to tackle as many bugs as possible and rebalanced a few things based on community feedback. Along with some adorable new features like the additional pet skins, this update also includes full controller support and basic modding capabilities!
Along with those key features and all of the updates listed in the patch notes below, we've also started to compile a list of frequently asked questions. You can check out the current list on the Plum Grove FAQ in the Steam Discussion board.
We know of a few issues that remain with controller support which we are continuing to work on. We will be monitoring both our Discord and the Steam Discussions closely to make sure everything is working smoothly outside of these remaining issues.
- Interact button on your farm
- Shop/Chest menu
- Pressing A when talking should complete the current text first
- Item drop hovers
- Inability to input text
