Research Story News

A small patch today, thank you for your reports!

Fixes
- Fixed a bug for the Creature Puzzle #1 slot, where some creatures are unable to complete the puzzle even though it's the solution.
- [CN Localisation] Fixed some letters from the v0.7 update displaying placeholder text.

Balancing
- Adjusted penalty for fainting. Most of the Gold penalties have been halved or reduced.

Cheers,
Miki 🤍

Controller Updates
- Fixed a bug that caused players to be unable to chop trees, interact with creatures, mailbox, shipping bin, and trough. This bug happens right after the player starts to till the ground but does not complete it, then switch tools.
- Added a way to view Item Names in a crafting recipe while crafting.

Others
The game now detects when a save file is corrupted/missing, and shows an error instead of crashing.

Glad to be able to fix that first controller bug - with the help of your reports as usual! 🙏 I'll be starting on the next content update soon :)

Hotfix v0.7.3 fixes several bugs that were recently reported:

Fixes
- Fixed a crash when patting creatures/leaving farm, which affected some players who had released creatures outside the farm.
- Fixed a rare crash that happens when placing fences.
- Fixed Pumouse Research progression for some players (could not complete observation).
- Fixed: While fishing next to a pen, the same inputs (Interact key) no longer lead to simultaneous inputs. When facing a river with the rod equipped, fishing is prioritised.
- Fixed freeze when trying to gift Alfie, Ming, or Yan Yan a gift over the counter while they are shopkeeping.

Changes
- Added range information in item description for Sprinklers and Sun Lamps.

Outstanding bugs/issues and workarounds
There are some bugs that are known but not fixed yet, the important ones being:
- [Controller Support] Cannot interact with mailbox/shipping bin, creatures, and trough sometimes. I have received reports and details from 2 players so far, and am still trying to replicate this bug on my side. Saving and loading the game should resolve this bug in the meantime.
- [Screen Resolution] Players with resolutions above 1920x1080 have reported issues (such as missing Main Menu buttons, incorrect scaling of the game). One of our players found a workaround to be playing on windowed mode instead of fullscreen mode. I'll be getting hardware (monitor with larger resolution) later in 2024 to better test and fix this issue.

Full details of the above known bugs, workarounds, and developer response can be found in this post.

Thank you for your patience! Hope that you're having a good start to 2024 :)

- Fixed a crash that happens when using Light Yellow Spine or Fishbone Tail in the Origin Tracker.
