📦 Update 11.0: Placeable Chests & Dual Pane Storage 🎮

This update is a big one for inventory management, and I built it alongside progressing the next few updates. Steam Deck and controller players kept telling me the same thing: moving items around felt blind and fiddly, and they wished they could see their backpack and the storage they were using at the same time. Honestly, I did not know how to fit both of them on screen with a fully upgraded backpack, and it took me a while, but I finally figured it out.

On top of that, one of the most requested features is finally here: placeable chests, in three tiers you can put anywhere on your farm. Wood, Iron and Diamond. The d-pad now snaps from slot to slot as well, including menu navigation, instead of you being forced to nudge the left stick around :) And I fixed a big pile of bugs you reported on Discord and in the Steam discussions, so thank you for that.

Craft a chest, place it like any piece of furniture, then fill it. Three tiers, and every one of them comes in 12 colours.

Give it a colour so you can tell your chests apart at a glance, and give it a name so you know what is inside without opening it. Put a red chest called "Seeds" by the field and a blue one called "Ore" by the mine, and walking up to either one names it for you.

• Colour your chests, so a wall of them is not a wall of identical boxes

• Name a chest and the hint uses that name

• Quick-stack drops items straight into matching stacks

• Take-all, sort and a trash slot, built in

• Naming works on a controller, with the on-screen keyboard opening and closing properly

• The name field is not pre-selected, so you cannot wipe a name by accident

• A chest holding items cannot be picked up by mistake, and no explosion can destroy it

🎮 Dual Pane Inventories!

Open any storage window and your backpack now sits underneath it. No more transferring blind.

How it works: open the shed, fridge, shipping bin or a chest, and your backpack appears below. The d-pad walks every slot on both sides. X moves the item you are pointing at to the other side. Y jumps between the two panes.

• Dual-pane storage for the storage cellar, fridge, shipping bin and chests

• On Controller, X Button moves items both ways, in and back out

• Y switches panes from either side, even on an empty slot

• LT+Y transfers every item of that type at once

• LB/RB switch storage tabs, right stick scrolls

• The d-pad navigates cleanly. It used to scroll the list at the same time

• The cursor only jumps to slots you can actually see

• The first button press on a storage item does what it says

• Withdrawing with a full backpack tells you, instead of quietly putting it back

• Scroll hints show the right stick, which is what actually scrolls

• The button hints tell the truth now. Several named the wrong button

• All three sort buttons are back: type, value, A to Z

• Sorting squashes part-filled stacks into as few slots as possible

• Every inventory icon explains itself on hover

• The button guide shows what actually works, in the same corner every time

• A classic toggle, if you preferred the old single-pane version

🖥️ Item Hover Info no longer blocks view

• Item cards hop out of the way. They used to sit right on top of what you were hovering

• The card's corner position fits every screen shape exactly

• Long item descriptions wrap. They used to run off the panel

• World tooltips only show for the thing you are closest to

• Button tooltips near the top flip below instead of getting cut off

• Loading tips sit where they should on the Deck

• Transfer messages stop covering the inventory you are working in

🧩 Bug Fixes

Saving and loading

• Fixed scrambled saves, and saves that froze on the save screen

• Quitting to the title mid-save cannot duplicate your world

• Mashing Continue will not stack multiple loads

• The loading screen stops sticking if you alt-tab as a load finishes

• Same-day reloads do not re-deliver your mail

• Fixed a few rare save-load hangs

• Settings stick between sessions: tutorial popups, hold-to-run, text effects, art style

Inventory and storage

• Items no longer disappear when moved between your bag and storage

• The fridge cannot delete a stack when it is full

• Item quality cannot be laundered by stacking

• The item on your cursor draws on top, not behind the window

• Warping with a storage window open leaves it behind properly now

• The shipping bin stops quoting a price for things it will not take

Quests, cards and machines

• Strawberry Gemstone quest stops getting stuck. The bomb was landing on the wrong tile

• Card quests count correctly. Minigame, fishing, action and pet-brushing quests were finishing in a fraction of the intended play

• Roger stops asking you to find Brianna after you have rescued her

• Pick-a-shell cards finish and pay out in one auto-scratch press

• Recipe machines stop accepting the wrong ingredients. The mayo maker no longer eats eggplants.

World and pets

• Esc works again after certain menus

• Fixed villagers, animals and enemies staying frozen after a menu or transition

• The spider boss cannot be hit at its old spot after climbing the wall

• Pets stop getting stuck on slopes, and stop losing track of you

• Pets that follow you stop vanishing from the animals menu after you sleep

• Pets stop looking tired on every expedition

• The rooster shows up in the pets menu

• Auto-tool now grabs the watering can for Munger's bowl and the well

• Invisible flowers you could still pick, gone

• Pointing at a fireplace while holding an earth crystal stops teleporting you

• Holding the mouse on a boss door, auction bid or crafting bench fires once, not over and over

• Festival crowds only include characters who actually showed up

Translation

• The chest is not named after a body part in ten languages

• The shipping bin's price line is translated

Plus a long list of smaller fixes under the hood.

🧡 Thanks for your love and support!

Cornucopia is my dream, and it keeps going because people play it and tell me what is wrong with it. This update came almost entirely from players saying "this is how I'd like it" about the controller and storage, and being specific enough that I could go and fix it. thank you for that, genuinely. thanks also to RedArmX, whose art keeps making this world feel like somewhere worth living in.

Lots of love,

David ❤️
