Ahoy!
We’re happy to announce the next update for Critter Cove. The Outfitters Update adds some long-standing player requests to make expressing yourself a lot easier, a brand new quest line, a minimap feature, new clothes, new Critters and more.
You can check out the full patch notes here, and as always, we’d love to see y’all on Discord.
Critter & Fashion Loadouts (AKA Transmog / Vanity Slots)
Dress to impress without losing any stat-boosting items. The new outfit loadout system will allow you to pick two sets of clothing: one for practical use, like scuba masks and flippers, and one purely for style. You can also save five different outfits and easily switch between them.
But in the world of Critter Cove, style goes beyond mere fashion. You can also now easily save and swap your entire appearance via mirrors with just one click.
And finally, we’ve added a much more complete color picker into the game to help make fine adjustments to your color selections.
Job Covers & Sickness Notifications
You can now set Critters to cover a job, so that if the main employee gets sick, the new worker will take over the next morning and stay until the original worker gets better. No more days where your doctor gets sick and there’s nobody else to help out.
We’ve also added sickness updates to the in-game notification system, which makes it easier to see who is sick and covering every day.
Great Mushroom Questline
The Great Mushroom hasn’t spoken to anyone in a VERY long time, but it seems like now is the moment for them to awaken and waste no time in setting you to work. You can pick up this new quest line from Haystack in Port Bella once you’ve completed the earlier farmer-related quests.
Minimap
You can now turn the game compass into a live minimap, which can also show you quests, Critters–provided that you’ve made bracelets for them–and robots. You can turn this on and off and tweak settings via the camera menu.
New Outfits & 6 New Critters
Introducing: Prism the Unicorn, Odus the Walrus, Tina the Kappa, Fernando the Bull, Ratthew the Rat & Selene the Luna Moth!
Alongside our new line-up, you can also now buy the oil rigging outfit from Riggs. Rain jackets have arrived in the Clothing Store just in time to easily swap over using the new outfit loadouts, and we’ve made some variations on the open jacket that is a bit less ‘chesty’ for those looking for a more modest style.
And More...
We’ve added a ton of quality of life upgrades, but here are some highlights:
You can now pull materials for buildings directly from your chests
Harvester robots can now do more for you
Many controller improvements and fixes
Lots of tweaks and fixes to the Create-A-Critter system from last update
