Hello there, Cozy Keepers!
This update took longer than I expected, and I apologize for that!
Keep in mind, this is more of a technical update.
Let’s see what’s new:
💾 Quick Save Option
Let’s say you’re a kid and your mom tells you to stop playing and start studying immediately… or maybe you’re an adult and your kid just set the house on fire and you have to intervene. You’ve made some progress in your Cozy Keep day, but you don’t want to skip the day or even an hour.
Tough decision, right?
From now on, you just have to pause the game and press the Quick Save option. That’s it! Your position, progress, animals, and enemies around you... everything gets saved and loaded.
I still want the Bed to have a purpose in the game, and it does. But not giving you the option to quick save in 2025 just wouldn’t make sense. Thank you all for your feedback on this!
I’m also considering adding an auto-save option in the future. We’ll see what players think!
📦 Storage Chests
Added the option to upgrade your storage chests so you no longer have to move items manually.
Storage chests now have a new range bonus.
Added the option to Quick Deposit matching items from your inventory.
Added a warning when you're about to destroy a chest that contains items.
Polished the UI to make quick slots clearer.
Added a system to place products on shelves directly from storage.
🔨 Crafting
You can now craft directly from storage chests. The better the chest, the better the range.
Added (x1, x2, x3, x5, etc.) crafting options to craft faster.
Fuel stations can now be refueled from nearby storage.
🚪 Unstuck & Hide HUD
Added an option to unstuck yourself from the Pause Menu.
Added an option to hide/show the player HUD.
🪓 Destroying Structures
Iron and Gold Hammers now return 50% and 100% of the materials used when destroying a structure.
📤 Moving Structures
You can now move displays with products on them without needing to empty them first.
📏 Snapping
Added snapping for placing structures, placing products, and digging mounds.
You can enable/disable snapping by pressing it's key action.
🧲 Auto-Grab Loot
Added a system to auto-collect dropped loot (e.g., tree logs, animal drops).
Can be toggled in Settings → Gameplay → Auto-Grab. Note: I’ll tweak the values based on feedback!
⛏️ Mine Loot
Ores in the Mine now respawn every 2 days instead of 3.
🐮 Animal Enclosures
You can now move automations and animals between enclosures.
