Meowllo!
We've fixed some bugs that plagued us for a while.

[h2]🐛 Fixes[/h2]

• NPCs no longer stand in place, you should see less instances of them standing on top of each other
  
• Mines could still crash because the poor bat was falling into the pond. We have removed the bats for now
  
• Issue with Cabin Bookshelf, Softwood Bookshelf, and Traditional Bookshelf not being able to place items on the top surface
  

[h2]⛏️ Mine Balance[/h2]

• Due to having more floors, I've nerfed the Myst Crystal drops from the node and the Slimes
  
• In the same vein of logic, the amount of iron ore drop has also been reduced
  
• Now, the boulders and fern plants are also destructible - they have a chance of dropping Limestone and Sandstone
  
• New cooking area in the mine lobby - prepare yourself before you dive in!
  
• New lore bit in the mine lobby...foreshadowing of what's to come in the mine rework
  

[h2]🌱 Other[/h2]

• Better snow: winter time should give you less snow blindness
  
• In Darker theme, the snow and white in general is way clamped down
  
• Corn in Desert Canyon Obelisk was changed to Daikon to align with MIAO grocer better. If you were in progress, it will refund your items to your overflow storage
  

• Mines now go down to floor 5
  
• As you go down, more rare fish will spawn in the pools. I heard that on the 5th floor, you even have a chance to catch a Mystfish...
  
• Floors become larger the farther down you go; more resource nodes will be there, but also more enemies. Bring your Sleeping Box, some food, and remember your Go Home button if you get lost!
  
• Better fish shadow visibility in mines
  
• Fixed multiple issues with invisible walls and crashing within Mines
  
• Basement and upstairs room grids now match to the edges of the room
  
• Fixed issue with Miss Curator's and other villager's "hello" not triggering properly in the morning
  
• Fixed issue with Lan's first friendship event only triggering for people who had Hanna on their island
  

Note: we're still aware of issues with the game dropping inputs for some players when playing in Windowed or Fullscreen Windowed mode. If you're having this issue, please try playing in Fullscreen for now. Thank you~

Extra Note: this isn't the mines rework update! We wanted to improve the overall stability of the game before we really sink our teeth into the NPC improvements coming up next

This update includes the following:

• Sort by main categories: view all, buildables, buildings, consumables (like gems, building materials), and equipment
  
• Better categorization: added cooking stations under "equipment". Now appears under buildables and equipment
  
• Learned blueprints are still moved to the bottom on next visit - but they are now focusable, so you no longer go all the way back up to the top if you press down on gamepad at the bottom
  
• Shows you the items required and a preview mesh or icon, depending on whether or not there is a placeable mesh available
  

We have more improvements planned for the future!

• MSQ Grassy Plains Obelisk now takes Furnace instead of Simple Stove due to material lock
  

• NEW Fog settings: turn it off, have it on high to be more prominent, or keep it at the current default
  
• NEW Shadow distance cutoff now affected by shadow quality: we recommend High for best looking settings, and lower if it's causing performance issues
  
• NEW NPCs now display a heart emote for a loved gift, a music note emote for a liked gift, and a frustrated emote for a disliked gift
  
• More rocks in Grassy Plains and Frozen Tundra for gem shards and Obsidian collection
  
• Arrows can be now found under "equipment" in addition to "consumables" so it shows up along with the Wooden Bow
  
• Miss Curator's counter dialogue only shows the prompt for requests if you have an active quest from her
  

• "Cleaning Duty" quest changed from shipping 20 Clay to simply collecting items that should help get new players situated to which debris drops Cloth, String, and Fire Fragments
  
• Furnace no longer requires Myst Crystals to craft: now requires an additional 5 Iron Ore and 5 Fire Fragments in addition to Stone and Hardwood
  

• Game no longer crashes when the recipient name is left blank in SNACK PACK
  
• Fixed rare issue where SnackoUI would cause a crash when navigating between screens
  
• Fixed issue where placing buildables in the basement of the player house would disappear
  
• Fixed incorrect cost of Traditional Ice Box (340 → 3,400)
  
• Angelfish now correctly spawns in the farm
  
• Fixed issue where keybinds were being reset on game start
  

Meowllo! We have a fun update for everyone! This is the Snack Pack update, letting you send your friends or trade items all offline!

That, and we made a new roadmap, we have some fixes, new items, and changes...so let's get into the main feature first:

• Send by inputting the receiver's name, picking a message, and an item/stack of item
  
• It'll generate you a code. You can copy and send this to the receiver, or write it down
  
• Whoever wants the item now can go to their mailroom, input the sender's name and the code, and get the item!
  

Restrictions:

• You must have the Cultural Center unlocked
  
• You cannot send tools
  
• You cannot send things to yourself, including to a different save file on the same Steam account
  
• There's a 30 real-life minute cooldown for sending the same item
  
• These restrictions are in place even if you quit out without saving and reload an old file! No cheating!!
  

You'll be also see the stats on how many you've sent and received~

• Grilled Meat: takes a stick + Meat Cube or Tofu
  
• Grilled Mushroom: takes a stick + any fungus (Redshroom, Honey Shroom, etc.)
  
• Tall Grass A + B: these tall grasses function like the bush, etc. under buildables > gardening. New players will receive this through Gardening Woe quest; old players can purchase it through the Carpenter's blueprint shop
  
• New quest to teach you about Seed Makers and fertilizers: Levelling Up
  
• New fish spawns in Frozen Tundra with higher chance of getting rare fish, but it's far out in the ocean. Upgrade your fishing rod with a cast distance gem to try your luck!
  

• We're aware of and working on an issue where windowed or windowed fullscreen can drop inputs/lose focus when using tools
• Fire Goby and Guppy now spawn properly in the Desert Canyon
  
• Pebble and Slime monsters are no longer tanky as heck for no reason
  
• You can now exit Conduit Shrine without completing it in the MSQ
  
• Fixed issue where +Cocoa Beans on Brush use wasn't giving you cash
  
• Fake Grass can now be placed on Fake Dirt Rug
  
• Alembic is now easier to craft. Reduced Myst Crystal, Gold Bars, and Fastener requirements
  
• Fixing issue where after taking damage, fishing will show both your character sprite and a ghost Momo
  

So we put out a roadmap at the beginning of the year, but we've been really busy! So things shifted around and we ended up adding and finishing items to the list that we didn't plan for, like character customization, fence stacking...screenshot mode....



Just like last time, we're always listening to feedback and watching how you interact with the game, so we've always kept things like this super vague in case we want to change or add items last second. But, so you're aware, this is the general list that we're working towards right now. We have wishlist items ourselves, but the things listed here are the "for sures"! So, thank you for understanding~

We were going to work on the mines, but now we've decided to tackle NPC issues and polish first. That will probably come in parts, as the changes we'd like to make are big and will take us some time. Hotfixes or small things will still be added between then and now, so we'll still be consistently updating the game.

Thank you for supporting the two of us! See you soon~[/h2]
