Research Story News

Fixes
- Fixed Ming's Red Heart Letter not triggering despite meeting all requirements.

Balancing Changes
- Sky Quartz now spawn more frequently in Icy Floors above Floor 55.

Increased number of spawn locations of some wild plants:
- Grave Creepers can now also spawn in Lakeside.
- Mothplant and Henbit can now spawn in Town.
- Eggbloom and Angel's Blush can now spawn in Cliffside.
- Winter Squash can now spawn in Meadow.

Gameplay changes
- Crops now take 2 hits from an axe to be destroyed, instead of 1.

Fixes
- Fixed rare crash during midautumn festival (that happens when Theo is not around).
- Fixed flower crown appearing when interacting with wardrobe when no hat has been unlocked yet, affecting some players.

Changes
- The one odd cell to the bottom left of the farm pond is no longer collidable (you can place paths/items).

Thank you to those who submitted bug reports! So far, I've fixed the ones that I can replicate. There are 2 known bugs that seem to happen very rarely (random crash when fishing early-game, random crash related to opening a creature's information while in the mines), so those will take me longer to figure out and fix. Thank you for your patience!

Other bug reports we've received (submitted from in-game) that we'll need more information on - hopefully the players will be reading this:
1) A player shared that their previous save cannot be found/their progress restarted. To look into this, could you please reach out to us via email at [email protected] ? You can send your Research Story folder to us and I'll look into it, to see if your save file is somewhere in there. I've implemented both cloud and local backups, so hopefully we can retrieve it.

2) A player reported a crash when fishing early-game. This is a rare bug, and we can't replicate it at this time. If anyone has experienced this and has more information on how it happened, please let us know!

Thank you for the amazing support for launch day! I was taking a break yesterday, and now I'm back and will start looking into the feedback and any reports that come our way. 💗
