Progression Patch: 0.9.0_5133 🔖
This update is kind of a thick one! We've added in the progression gating we were planning to implement to make the main story scenario not so...fast.
It also improves NPC schedule and shop availability and stability.
[h3]Before we go through the main story quests, let me just touch on some other changes:[/h3]
[h3]Now, onto the progression and MSQ changes:[/h3]
As always, we'll be keeping an eye on here and in Discord, so don't hesitate to reach out for help! Thank you for playing 💌
Next on our list of non-bug things we're working on, it will be player house upgrades (adding rooms, wallpapers, and flooring) and tool upgrades!
Please look forward to it~

[h3]Before we go through the main story quests, let me just touch on some other changes:[/h3]
- PINBALL MACHINE: now you can choose between "Free" and "Premium". Gamepad controls are now on the triggers and no longer backwards
- Note: in the future, we'd like to balance the prize pools so high value items will only be available in Premium
- CRAFTING QUALITY OF LIFE: a pop-up will show up showing you a list of what you just learned
- CHESTS IN SAVE FILES: fixed issue where if you have multiple save files/new games, the chest state carries over
- MINI-MAP AND NPCs: NPCs will now have more stable schedules and the minimap will no longer show them at 0,0,0 in the town when they're not there. They should also be at work now with shop inventory
- SPRINKLERS: can now be put away or moved
- BALANCE: adjusted drop rates of things like berries to be more common on the farm and nerfing the gold drop rate in the desert. Wildberry now gives less stamina, but other fruits (apple, grape, etc) from other biomes give more. Mesecina statue on a successful prayer will no longer restore a sad amount of stamina.
- You can now also craft any gem shards you find into their gem counterpart. Shards have higher drop rates. Find the crafting recipes in the Goddess Pond! These recipes will be under Consumables -> Processed
[h3]Now, onto the progression and MSQ changes:[/h3]
- Obelisks are no longer in their "Press E to Activate and immediately leave" state
- You will have to fulfill the Offering Plate's requirements to unlock the Obelisk and move onto the next
- Have fun making the most of your farm, tools, and other equipment to gather all the fragments and crops necessary!
- This should pace the main story quest a lot better to match up with the MIAOs and seasons
- We will be keeping an eye on feedback and our own testing to balance these Offerings in upcoming patches
- If you are halfway through the MSQ, this will not break your save file
- While you can't go back and redo old Obelisks for their Offering Plate quests, you will be able to do any of the Obelisks that you haven't experienced yet
- However, if you do find yourself being stuck in your MSQ using an old save file, please reach out and we will fix that for you or push out a fix ASAP!
