Hotfix v1.1.15
v1.1.15
- [Controller/Steam Deck] Fixed an uncommon bug where creatures, creature pens, crafting stations etc. cannot be interacted with sometimes, after unequipping a Hoe.
Thank you to those who have let me know about this bug! I hope this fix resolves the "unable to interact" issue fully. If you still encounter any bugs, please let me know in the Steam forums/via the "Report a bug" button on the Start Menu, and I'll look into it.

Hotfix v1.1.14
Fixes
- Fixed unable to pick up wall decor when placed behind the fireplace.
- Fixed unable to pick up placed items in the bottom right corner of certain areas, such as the Meadows, Cliffside, and Lakeside.
Changes
- Added an icon in the Journal to indicate if a shimmer has been tamed before.
- Vallee's Sunday routine at the Tavern ends earlier, so that she wouldn't be late for her Green Heart event.

I recently received a bug report about a possible crash while using the hotbar to place a feed (on a controller) - but am unable to replicate it. If anyone is also facing the same issue, please send a report with your save via the "Report a bug" button on the bottom right of the Main Menu, immediately after the crash. It'll be very much appreciated!
