  • Title I have the underwater Barn placed, and I have two Turtlechickens and two Mercows living in it. When my game rolled over from Spring Year 2 to Summer Year 2, the bell that calls the animals outside the barn stopped working.
  • Reproduction Steps Tried on both Summer Day 1 and Summer Day 2 to let my underwater animals out of the barn. The prompt came up to press "A" when I swam up to the bell, but when I pressed "A" nothing happened. The second day, my animals were in bad moods because they ran out of seaweed in the barn, and hadn't been able to eat outside the previous day.
  • Repro Rate Daily since Summer 1 Year 2.
  • Game Platform Steam Deck
  • Game Version V1.1b-1236
  • Input Mode Steam Deck Controller

I can't get my save files off my steam deck right now, but if they are needed I can do that at a later time.

Hello @sand raptor! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. 🙌 When the prompt to press "A" appears, is there any "Call Animals Outside" text that appears too?

If you happen to play and replicate the issue, could you share a video of it? A-phone recorded video will work. This will help us to determine the problem further. Thank you so much! goatlove2

Yes, sorry for not being more specific! The full prompt does appear on screen, including the "call animals outside" text.

I'll load up the game later today and try to take a phone video of what happens!

Sorry, I forgot to check back in on this! This bug has weirdly been happening sometimes, but not consistently. It does keep popping up, though. From my experience, every time I load up the game on the steam deck, there is a chance that the underwater Barn is buggy. Sometimes it persists over several days (like my first experience with it), but other times it only bugs out for one day, and then it works the next day (I'm referring to in-game days here).

I have no idea if it's related or not, but there are also times when the Mermoos in particular don't show the correct icons. They can be milked (because when I select my milking can, the prompt appears on the screen to milk them by pressing the X button), but the milk icon doesn't appear. They also (often at the same time) show the "Zzzz" indicator that they are sleeping, even though they are actively moving around and can be interacted with. This also happens some days and not others, and one time I milked the first mermoo, and that seemed to prompt the second one to suddenly show it's "ready to milk" icon (I watched it appear)!
