Beta Main Discussion Post

[light wraith]

I have pressed both buttons it has the timer and I wait then nothing

[peak beacon]

https://discord.com/channels/676857688998674471/1253459282112807073

[light wraith]

I'll wait for it still nothing but I'll try again

[lunar jackal]

Update, it hasn't just happened in the caves, but in the caves it's worse. Without sub loading all levels on, it dropped to just 10-12 fps in any menu and every other menu, interface, and the phone tanks fps too

[wraith glacier]

Mmm me thinks memory leak

[light wraith]

Okay I'm back with an update on the rice cooker with sticky rice it won't cook for me unless I'm still in the rice cooker menu 😔

[sand delta]

ah, yea, that's known. you have to sit with all the food while it cooks

[light wraith]

And now a new bug new saves don't save 😭

[nimble hound]

NEW BETA IS UP!!!!

[velvet kiln]

Still have a little bit of snow in the big barn

[velvet kiln]

Front door on Japanese Villa closed overnight.

aaand two greenhouses.

Wooden and Modern

And Large Barn

And Chicken/Duck/Quail/Rabbit

[nimble hound]

Safe to say that if it's not working for 1, it's not gonna work for all of them. 😂

[velvet kiln]

the hutches all closing is new though, and I thought Rainy said those were separate

[nimble hound]

I meant just the doors, sorry.

[nimble hound]

I'm sorry, Artessier. I think just seeing the continued list triggered me 😂 sorry 🙇‍♀️

[velvet kiln]

lol

Internal doors in the house actually seemed to stay open... scratch that.

[nimble hound]

I know we were able to confirm the doors with testing yesterday, so it's odd for them to not be working right.

[sand delta]

Does it require a new building vs. existing structure?

[nimble hound]

not sure. Could potentially need a couple days to register, though

[velvet kiln]

Made sure I wasn't somehow playing on old version, just in case, but I have tea house doors - so I dont think there is any risk of that.

[icy dragon]

One note about doors, you'll need to sleep once for the game to register them in memory sometimes

So that could be

[velvet kiln]

Would you think that also applies to the coops and such?

That line between Cancel and Discard was a good call

[agile nimbus]

[velvet kiln]

Makes the spacing look intentional

Oh, one-hit node breaking is working in the outside mines.

[agile nimbus]

too bad texture separation for vehicles is bugged

love fixed model tho

[velvet kiln]

Combat seems to be moving smoother.

Yeah, i don't think I'm imagining this, I think combat is responding significantly faster.

[foggy violet]

Oh that's some GOOD news, if true.

[velvet kiln]

I'm curious if other people feel this too.

[quick depot]

I had started a new game when using the beta. Is there some type of way to differentiate what's a beta feature and what's in the main branch? I think I'm starting to get into content I hadn't already played through

[agile nimbus]

you can compare to newest log in #📌public-beta changelog

[quick depot]

Thank you. I feel like I ask so many questions that have probably been answered somewhere or are common sense, but the amount of channels overwhelms me lol

[lunar jackal]

This note in the changelog made me cackle so loud, I heard my kid go, 'Wha?'

Expanded blockers to Farm 4 area. (Stop trying to break in, you heathens ^_^ )

I haven't been able to play all day, but I'm gonna try to now 😌

[velvet kiln]

Tested, slept twice now, doors closed both times overnight.

Huh. Got plum blossom honey from my bees next to apple trees

[cinder timber]

yay new beta, i can finally play again (been waiting for cave 4 fix)

[icy dragon]

Shoutout to the stream chat!

[foggy violet]

YEAH, GO STREAM CHAT!!!

[agile nimbus]

Stream chat gang

[velvet kiln]

oh, I didnt recheck gabe

Ok, he has everything by my third day playing since patching (a thursday)

has anyone gotten a hangout message yet? I'm 2.5 days in, and nothing

[calm glacier]

Oh no.

Making this a changelog update is going to be fun

[quick depot]

Just in general? ||I had gotten hangout messages from Allen for like 3 days in a row when all I really did was talk to him and go on one hangout. I've also gotten invited by Sebastian I think because I was pursuing him||

[velvet kiln]

I mean since beta patch

I was gonna check the doors on something newly constructed, but I burned through my plywood and shoji panels, apparently.

[calm glacier]

Is it .33 or .33-Beta?

[nimble hound]

.33 Beta

[calm glacier]

thanks!

[velvet kiln]

Sometimes I feel like I do not understand the coloring on these cave doors - is this not amethyst?

[nimble hound]

where is it?

(I can check what it's supposed to be)

[velvet kiln]

5th cave

[nimble hound]

but where 😂

[velvet kiln]

oh, good question... wish I had the map unlocked.

[quick depot]

||Might be worth trying Opal||

[nimble hound]

Just give me a full top down, I can at least try to guess based on where you are.

[quick depot]

||All the purple I've seen is either Amethyst or Opal. Idk why Opal shows purple half the time and clear the other half||

[velvet kiln]

I'd need an opal to test that...

[nimble hound]

oh dang it. That's the only level I don't have a map for 😂

[quick depot]

I had that exact same issue earlier lol. Went around trying to find stuff to mine and defeating enemies. Eventually just returned to sleeping spot and grabbed some from my cache

[nimble hound]

I'd have to load up the engine to check.

[velvet kiln]

Another purple one in that cave I can't open. I tried many gems, I do not have an opal yet.

[paper cobalt]

probably an opal then. its always the gem you don't have

start fighting some zant

[velvet kiln]

fought many, just seem to be losing the RNG game

An onyx barrier worked, though it looked like there was no barrier at all.

[quick depot]

Yeah, the black lines are super thin and kinda blend in. But yeah, I had to go all the way back home to get opal from my storage so you might need to at least go to one of the other levels and hope rng works in your favor mining for it

[velvet kiln]

I'm gonna have to start going in with 1 of every gem

or 20...

So I'm definitely still getting performance drop after spending time in the caves, but battle is much more responsive - and isn't slowing to a standstill

[nimble hound]

because it's the final cave: Yes.

[quick depot]

There's a select few I've never had to use. I don't remember off the top of my head but for instance, the darker blue (sapphire?)

[calm glacier]

Okay, so. Just so I can note it for the changelogs:

[nimble hound]

Spoiler for gem keys and caves: ||Each cave level is more likely to spawn a specific rarity of minine node, and each rarity gives specific things. From level 1 to level 5, each level uses more of a differnt type of rarity, in order, and the last cave uses one of everything.||
ALSO || Only a handful of gems are actually used as keys. It's only one of each color to avoid confusion, so some will never be used as keys.||

[calm glacier]

• Most animals are now more expensive (including cats and dogs) but it looks like baby animals are cheaper?

[nimble hound]

Correct.

[calm glacier]

Hm.

So.. you've now made chasing pests off more expensive and it less worth your while to have animals.

Please tell me there's an upcoming rebalance of animal product worth

[quick depot]

I left off before continuing after finishing on this level of the cave. When they say this is it, does that really mean no going back or will I be able to go back to any caches, etc I hadn't explored yet?

[calm glacier]

yeah, I saw that and I went "oh no"

[nimble hound]

You'll be able to go back. In fact, some you have to go backwards for becaue they require rarer gems.

[icy dragon]

Like writing the update on steam? 😛

[nimble hound]

No, Kylindra is making a changelog for the wiki

[calm glacier]

True, yeah.

[icy dragon]

OH THAT ONE RIGHT!

Yes I saw the last one

[calm glacier]

it's the sorting that's the fun bit

[icy dragon]

Good luck

If you need help, we did categorise them in the last update

If you need categories, ignore me if not!

[calm glacier]

so far I'm using the ones from .. uh.. yeah, that one, actually, as long as they have more than two changes to a category

[cinder timber]

hm modern barn door didn't stay open overnight. they're supposed to stay open permanently after opening right?

[nimble hound]

are you doing specific updates for beta separate from the main branch?

[calm glacier]

it might need a day or so to take, from what was said upstream

Yes

[nimble hound]

yeah, we're looking at wether they need a couple days to register properly and actually work

so don't just test them the first day you load in a save. 🙏

[calm glacier]

When acquiring a skill at the skill tree the item is now correctly removed from your inventory. < I

I'll miss you. 😦

[icy dragon]

https://tenor.com/view/moment-of-silence-pay-respect-rip-rest-in-peace-bow-gif-15963301

[cinder timber]

also interesting that the small animal coops are closing automatically now (when they would stay open before), however quails will spawn outside their hutch wihle the rest stay inside theirs

[nimble hound]

[cinder timber]

merino sheep (not that I need any) still appear to be missing from gabe's shop for saves from before the starter sheep switch

[nimble hound]

https://tenor.com/view/taking-notes-write-that-down-gif-27686706

[icy dragon]

I have been able to verify that the doors staying open or closed seem to only work on newly built buildings

Need to somehow make it work for already placed items

🤔

[calm glacier]

I'll fix acts of service

In the channeling

[velvet kiln]

I got plum honey from bees next to apple trees, do you think I need to move or rebuild bees?

[calm glacier]

Changelog*.. after the festivities tonight anyway

[icy dragon]

Currently, the bees will randomly select a compatible crop within a 15meter radius, so you could isolate them more yeah

[velvet kiln]

How big is a small grid square?

[cinder timber]

also my game seems to be laggy again, not as bad as with the previous memory leak, but wondering if there's possibly a new one (or if just going to the caves in general causes it during a play session)

[nimble hound]

Can you email me your save file along with your computer specs?

[cinder timber]

sure

[nimble hound]

[email protected]

[cinder timber]

will do as soon as i finish this day in-game

[icy dragon]

1mx1m

I believe

[foggy violet]

So to test, you’d want to do a 15x15 square around a hive

And plant nothing but the crop you want special honey of.

[humble marlin]

It also looks like that one event with Zander that wasn't working does now, but after the event is over, I just get a black screen.

The music is still playing and I can pull up my inventory and the pause menu, but nothing I can do seems to get rid of the black screen - not even returning to my last sleeping spot.

[cinder timber]

woo finally got mandarin blossom honey

and apple honey, yay

[icy dragon]

Human doors should work fine now on all buildings now! I pushed a cheeky little update 🙂

[velvet kiln]

Our hero.

Saving us from the evil of closed doors everywhere.

[hollow badger]

I’m SO looking forward to the doors on the tea house. They looked great on stream!

[cinder timber]

huh, are sakura blossoms not a thing? my cherry trees gave me cherries, not sakura blossoms

[hollow badger]

Which season are you in?

[cinder timber]

summer

guessing i gotta wait til autumn or spring?

the plantdaddy app says they don't bear fruit in spring, but does that mean i can still harvest them for sakura blossoms then?

[velvet kiln]

Coops seem like they may still be closing. Not sure if anyone else has validated this

[cinder timber]

yeah its funny cause coops used to stay open lol

so they are doing the opposite of what teh others are doing now

[hollow badger]

Spring is when you should see them I believe? 🤔

[cinder timber]

meh it'll be a while before i get there

[calm glacier]

changelog updated, including notes for the tiny patch

[ancient bane]

Very interesting animal purchasing moment. I had about 4 animals ready to go in my cart, all bed slected, but the last animal I didn't want to buy and tried to back out (on both controller and keyboard) and couldn't. So I selected a bed, but when I did it backed me out of the shop completely and cleared my cart, taking no money. But when I tried to add more animals, the ones that had previously had beds selected for them (and ducks and chicken slots in hutches) were all still there and appeared the next day for free. This is on .34.

Just an interesting thing I noticed!

[lunar jackal]

Will there be a fix for bugged friend in need quests that don't have an item assigned? Or is it just stuck forever?

[lilac fulcrum]

Ok I'll try building a new coop and see if the doors stay open on that 👍

[icy dragon]

Not in the next patch but I have some ideas for how to automatically clean them from your journal next week 🙂

[cinder timber]

wait they're gonna be fixed so that you actually have to finish them within the days they ask for?

[icy dragon]

If you have a quest in your journal for "A friend in need" without an item assigned, I'll just be removing them to clean out your journal

The game shouldn't generate empty requests anymore either, this is mostly for backwards compatibility with saves!

[cinder timber]

oh ok. i personally never encountered that bug lol

but i did go from like 20 requests down to 2 after finally unlocking most of the cooking skill tree. onlys tuck with an apple pie request (cant make it due to recipe bug)

[lunar jackal]

Good to know. Thank you!

[icy dragon]

I actually put in a little script for today's patch that's coming which should automatically clear your quests! Once it's out let me know if it works for you 🙂

[lilac fulcrum]

Can confirm doesn't matter if it's a new coop. Still closes at night unfortunately

[velvet kiln]

I actually miss the ridiculous amount of snow.

[icy dragon]

Sorry, are we talking about the hatched or human openable doors?

[velvet kiln]

the doors the animals go through

[icy dragon]

Okay those are human doors

By hatches I mean the small super tiny doors

[velvet kiln]

Well, it happens on the tiny ones on the small coops too

or the one on the large quail

[icy dragon]

Yeah that's expected, I haven't added the same doors staying open code to the coops just yet since it takes a quiet a bit more work as they're a lot more complex

[shrewd thorn]

and large quail coop too too

😛

[velvet kiln]

They hae always stayed open

until this beta patch

this type too

[icy dragon]

Gotcha, I'll see what's going on after today's patch then 🙂

[lilac fulcrum]

The doors the animals enter/exit through

On the smaller coops

[icy dragon]

Thank you everybody, a variable had its name changed and that was the cause, it should work fine once we push the main update in a few hours!

[velvet kiln]

I caught Hanako just stopping in the middle of the road until I spoke to her, last night. Never seen that before.

wtf, a raccoon just started to go in my open greenhouse!

Oh, my first game crash.

I've definitely learned how poorly the large quail coop contains animals from the experience of the doors closing every night.

[shrewd thorn]

I put a fence on the side of mine, and it works well... for now (its a cheap fix, but I'm sure Rainy has tons of other things on his plate to fix)

[velvet kiln]

That's a good workaround. I want the thing to be open anyway, so it doesn't really get in my way anyway.

I finally finished doing ranch fences around my whole lower yard

The sloped fence/path thing helped

[lilac fulcrum]

Now it's just the ducks that get stuck

[velvet kiln]

in the duck coop? or in the quail coop?

[lilac fulcrum]

The small duck coop.

[velvet kiln]

oh, I never built one of those

[lilac fulcrum]

The chicken and quail like to sit on the duck roof to get launched when you open it 🤣

[velvet kiln]

lmao

never seen an animal get launched, only myself

Animals overall seem to be acting better in this beta patch

[lilac fulcrum]

They don't go far, just little up. But it must be fun cos they wait every morning 🤣

The new fencing system rocks!
I easily managed to fence in the area around the tea house so I finally have a fully enclosed farm ❤️

[velvet kiln]

Yeah, it was a great qol change.

[lilac fulcrum]

Now I can have my free range animals

Without them running back to daddy gabe lol

[velvet kiln]

fixing the shearing trailer let me finally reorganize my farm

but I still have no idea where to keep my food/water

[lunar jackal]

yay thank you, will do

[fresh merlin]

same lol i couldnt move it and i was close to tears.

[cinder timber]

hmm walnut trees still give me nothing when harvesting. it shows an animation of some leaves falling tho lol

[humble marlin]

This was fixed with the latest patch - thank you so much!

[nimble hound]

I'm on it 🫡

[nimble hound]

fixed. Will be in next week's update

[calm glacier]

@cinder timber I got sakurablossoms in Summer.

It appears to be that you have to get them in a specific change >_>

*stage

[cinder timber]

hmm do you recall which stage?

[nimble hound]

do y'all see the stages as 0-5 or 1-5?

[cinder timber]

0 to 5

[nimble hound]

ah perf

[nimble hound]

Stage 4

[lunar jackal]

Yes, it cleared when I opened my game. Thank you!

[icy dragon]

Hurray!

[lunar jackal]

I reloaded the game from main menu to better manage morning time and when I went to collect my duck eggs this time, there were none at all. It was there the first time. I reloaded from desktop and they were there again.

Weird.

[lunar jackal]

One hit mining stopped working too. I have the skill unlocked.

[lunar jackal]

Ah, it's just the surface level of the mines.

[velvet kiln]

That's interesting, because that was never working for me, and then fixed with the last beta.

[lunar jackal]

It works in the 1st level. Barren climate. But the 'entrance' level doesn't work for me

[quick depot]

The same day I unlocked it, it didn't work in the entrance, but worked at another level so I was like oh ok, maybe that's intentional? But then later it worked I think so maybe it just takes time, or maybe the loading screen fixed it

[lunar jackal]

The skill has been unlocked for me since around major patch 2 so idk what's happening lol

Like at one point it worked on the entrance level but not in the deeper mines. Now it's the other way around lol

Going into the barren climate and then coming back out to respawned rocks fixed it? Lol maybe it doesn't activate until you get into the barn climate and then it works?

[cinder timber]

the surface level (cave level 0) is a little weird because seomtimes you'll find rocks that take 3 hits and then sometimes you find several 1 hit rocks stacked on each other

[lunar jackal]

Oh wow, you're right. Sometimes it's too dark to see lol

[cinder timber]

use sparky's flash light, it'll help lol

[lunar jackal]

I do, just mean, I do a speed run of mining on the top level and I don't really pay that close attention. I'm there to collect everything

The mining sound is so pleasing

[calm glacier]

https://www.stellarkennings.net/wiki/index.php?title=SunnySidePrototypeChangelog updated changelog for those who wnated a (not erally needed!) sorted list

[velvet kiln]

"Reduced small animal water usage."

This is interesting to me because I'm 90% sure my small animals don't even drink water anymore. And come to think of it, I've never refilled my rabbit feeder in like 2 months.

[foggy violet]

I LOVED THE LEANING TREES

LMAO

[cinder timber]

same i haven't had to refill any of my small animal feeders since patch 3

although i wonder if my skill tree stuff is the reason why

[hollow badger]

I think there are two separate problems. One that the water feeder isn’t working, and then if the water feeder was working, they’d be drinking too much water.

[shrewd quarry]

anyone’s graphics weird since the update? Like laggy, fuzzy, etc? I even tried putting my settings up high and they didn’t change

[shrewd quarry]

Every time I passed them I was like “am I high?” 😂

[velvet kiln]

Rainy just sneaks these beta patches in.

[foggy violet]

Rainy has my love rn, I’m so grateful.

[velvet kiln]

Um... I'm getting hitching for the first time ever.

[calm glacier]

hitching?

[velvet kiln]

Also, this?

[calm glacier]

o.o

But what did you mean by hitching? Stuttering, or..?

[velvet kiln]

yes, stuttering

and it doesn't seem resource based, game is barely using anything

verifying files and restarting my desktop

Seems like that fixed it.

[velvet kiln]

... is this right? first day of Spring.

[hollow badger]

Just watched the last dev vod. I cackled when Rainy mentioned taking a leaf out of Pirate Software’s book and broke out the MS Paint!

[dusky tulip]

With the latest beta update my save files was replaced with an old save file from the demo version. It replaced the save file I had on the first save slot. Another save file I have is fine. I can play my save file when I click on continue. But if I choose the load game the wrong save file is on that spot.

[shrewd thorn]

😮 I logged on the game this morning, and watered my crops in my greenhouse! Yay!! (didn't even realize there was an update -- my steam updates automatically) My cucumbers that were already in the greenhouse did die, however, so I'm gonna see if I can plant more cucumber, and see what happens. (In my game, I am in Autumn now)

new cucumber planted just fine in the greenhouse! sweet!!

[calm glacier]

did you also put this in bug reports?

(and this doesn't surprise me, the demo saves weren't purged)

[icy dragon]

This isn't a new issue, in fact the latest beta fixes what caused the issue previously. Essentially, sometimes starting a game on slot 2 or 3 when slot 1 was filled caused them all to be identified as 1. I'm working on a system that displays all mismatched save files in the records app but in the meantime, you can:

• Open the game
• Move the folder of the save file that is overriding your save out of the SunnySide folder
• Close the game
• Reopen it

It should show the files fine now 🙂

[calm glacier]

Beta patch notes have a typo on "Fixed the duplicate skill Friendly III and switched it to the correct Friednly II."

[trail bay]

they always do :p rainy is our typo machine

(ive also pointed out that exact typo before in a past patch note lol)

[calm glacier]

fair, it's just pointing it out before it goes out to the steam patch. :<

[trail bay]

i think fem reads them before they get posted to spell check things but it is good to point out in case they get missed by both of them

[hollow badger]

(Finding typos in patch notes can be Rainy’s version of “Where’s Gabe?” )

[foggy violet]

i, personally, enjoy softly whispering typos to myself over and over as if they are the words to a MOST DELIGHTFUL curse.

[calm glacier]

-# Yes, yes, embrace the Dark Side.

(having the dark side point emote is something I should use more often)

[nimble hound]

No need to worry about patch note typos. We always have multiple sets of eyes on the Steam versions before they go out.

[foggy violet]

😦

As long as the ones in here stay....they make me happy...

[nimble hound]

They will lol. Rainy types them up quickly for y'all in the Diacord, and then we edit and organize and proof read them for Steam 🙂

[foggy violet]

YESSSSSS

[verbal forge]

First observation with beta: OMG winter honeysuckle is beautiful!!! im placing them in all my greenhouses now

[calm glacier]

The changes from the last beta in the public patch, for those tracking:

• Baby Swiss cows should now have the correct model and product and no longer turn into * Jersey cows when growing.
• Horses can now only be added to “Horse Bed” when purchasing. Subsequently, no other animals can be added to the “Horse Bed” other than horses.
• Receiving the objective “Purchase a Horse from Riverside Ranch” now gives you the blueprint for a horse bed automatically. If you already have the objective, simply buy it from Hoshi Woodworks.
• Fixed an incorrect string of dialogue for Mayumi, when if you invite her to a hangout and she suggests a location, it would instance display “MayumiMSG”.
• The “Rotation Degrees” will now stay consistent when selecting different items to build with and no longer reset when selecting a new blueprint to place.
• You can now select and move animal sleeping spots that are placed on a ledge or are hovering in the air with ease.
• Removed wreaths from Naka doors in winter.

I wish they'd make the setting for Royal persist, honestly. >_>

[shrewd quarry]

Ohhh I’m so excited to hear the rotation degrees will stay, that drive me nuts haha

[hollow badger]

The “Rotation Degrees” will now stay consistent when selecting different items to build with and no longer reset when selecting a new blueprint to place.
woo-oo! this makes me a happy builder.
I wonder if it would be possible to have right-click on that setting reduce the angle size?

[dusky tulip]

Thank you

[foggy violet]

So I know we got a fix for the Sexy Leaning Trees, but I noticed that a lot of trees on the path to the Lab are still leaning. Is that intentional?

[icy dragon]

The fix was only to your Farm Trees, so that would most likely be intentional yeah

[nimble hound]

I'd need to see a picture.

[foggy violet]

I’m so excited for more food crafting XP.

[cinder timber]

there's going to be xp changes to that?

[peak beacon]

Yess 😄 #📌public-beta

[lunar jackal]

I'm so happy I can make a bunch of straw in 3 days instead of 3 days per straw 🥹

[foggy violet]

hi, very tiny request that i don't wanna make a WHOLE SUGGESTION THREAD FOR: let ringing the bike bell/honking the scooter horn at passersby add a little friendship the first time you do it in the day (like talking). Because sometimes i wanna say hi to my friend but also not get off my heckin bike.

[hollow badger]

meanwhile, when I'm on my bike riding around town, people are diving out of the way. ahem.

[lunar jackal]

Excited to try the new beta. I'm gonna buy SO MUCH STRAW AND GLASS JARS & BOTTLES

[lunar jackal]

My games crashed 3 times with a unity error. Never happened before but 😭😭😭

5th Crash

I messed with the settings since the textures no longer load clearly on my end and even the models turn into polygons before the day even ticks to noon. 😂

This might just be my GPU limitations finally catching up

[icy dragon]

Well, I have reverted those experimental settings and I'm gonna do a build now! IF it still crashes after then we can be sure it's not the game at the least

I don't wanna push the update on Friday and break everyone's game, especially since I'm out of the house for the whole of weekend

[lunar jackal]

I'm like WAAAAY below specs and you've seen video of my gameplay lmao https://valid.x86.fr/44qbet

[lunar jackal]

So it might just be something that works for most people with better GPUs and mine is finally meeting its match

It be like that. I'll be sad if I can't play the game anymore, but dems the breaks

[icy dragon]

Honestly the changes didn't give the QA a net positive anyways sooo

[lunar jackal]

I sees

[icy dragon]

Considering you're getting crashes (if it is related to those graphic changes) then it's a net negative at that point 😛

[lunar jackal]

Be cool to maybe see if others are experiencing crashes though

especially the people who were for a while

[icy dragon]

I actually needed to do a final build for tomorrow anyway so your message was just in time!!

[icy dragon]

Alright @lunar jackal it's up if you got the chance to play lemme know if the game is behaving once more!

[lunar jackal]

Okay will check it out as soon as update is finished

[lunar jackal]

Willing my computer faster to boot up the game since I know it's late across the water.

One aside, I have to spam the esc key to get it to work in the game. It only works the first time when exiting the inventory or phone app for me. 😭

[lunar jackal]

So far I haven't crashed. Even shifting around various graphic settings

Textures are getting a little weird sometimes, but also my GPU is a brave little toaster lol

[icy dragon]

Good good!

Was the right call then! Thank you Runzu for your quick feedback on beta

[lunar jackal]

I hope it still works for everyone else it's what I'm worried about lol

Thank you for paying attention to me!

[cinder timber]

"There are now pre-placed building stations on all farms besides farm 1. You can find each one inside the large open sheds and they need to be built." not home to check, does this include the global cache?

[lunar jackal]

Seemed like it to me. I checked out the one by higashi campgrounds

[icy dragon]

Yes, you can easily access the global cache from all farms now once you build them 🙂

[ancient bane]

Some things I noticed on 1.17

New crafting recipes are not pulling from global cache
The todo list pop out (as seen in vendors) should be in the crafting menu as well
No inventory space removal clean up button in cache
When buying "max" at vendors you get 300, but on screen it says you get x1050 or something like that
Sometimes I couldn't sell my animals. Just made the refusal sound but no text popup to help me see what was wrong

[icy dragon]

"No inventory space removal clean up button in cache" This was not part of this patch anyways, as I noted in the previous patchnotes it's something we're still working on 🙂

[ancient bane]

Got it got it 🫡

[grizzled citrus]

So.. no gem bag yet... That's the only thing I'm waiting for before I bother playing again.

[peak beacon]

Nope not yet! Keep an eye on the patch notes and it will be in there when it’s added 🙂

[grizzled citrus]

Patch Notes are for the main branch, not the beta! I might see it early. I saw a new update today so I hoped it would be there.

[peak beacon]

You can find the beta patch notes here for future reference https://discord.com/channels/676857688998674471/1253050020651995186

[agile nimbus]

Alternatively, you can use my mod and make fish bag your gem bag (shameless plug) https://discord.com/channels/676857688998674471/1261778656901202022

[ancient bane]

This is the mod I use! Fish bag the real mvp

[lunar jackal]

Yay, new patch and new fixes.

[neon dawn]

Loving the new inventory system

[lunar jackal]

The Premium Fridge names still don't save.

[peak beacon]

Was that even after rebuilding them? I think it was in an older patch note saying you may need to rebuild them I think? 🤔

[lunar jackal]

I need to rebuild them? 😭

https://tenor.com/view/beyonce-looking-depressed-sad-overwhelmed-gif-24761280

...I'll have to take the items out before I destroy the fridges, don't I?

I mean, I'll do it to be safe

I have so many, Hidden

So many

[peak beacon]

I’m looking for the patch note that says that to make sure I’m not lying

I’m not seeing it in the patch notes for that beta so idk where I saw or heard that :0

[lunar jackal]

I remember he made a fix in stream today

I'm on 1.17.3 Beta

[peak beacon]

Ohh gotcha I wasn’t there for the stream so I’m not sure what was talked about. Sorry to confuse you

[lunar jackal]

Maybe the fix didn't stick

I looked over the patch notes too

[peak beacon]

That’s possible

[lunar jackal]

But also, I only see patch notes for 1.17.2 Beta

But I'm running a different version

ack maybe I'll close the game and try to verifying again, though the one day I played was fine either way and the auto-run worked well

[peak beacon]

The version I tested yesterday before they gave it to y’all was version 1.17.2 there is a chance he made adjustments from my notes last night or from his changes from stream today that make it 1.17.3
Just my guess

[lunar jackal]

The issue was, Premium Fridge custom names reset overnight. Just in case I wasn't clear. It's been happening since I first bought them many patches ago

He posted the patch notes a bit after stream. Hm 🤔

I'm verying my files again, just in case

[peak beacon]

He could have forgotten to update version number 🤔 but yeah verifying won’t hurt!

[lunar jackal]

My fridges 😭

I'll just play my other save I abandoned 🥹

[peak beacon]

What happened?

[lunar jackal]

I'll come back for my 1st save another time

All the labels reset lol

[peak beacon]

[lunar jackal]

The names I mean, the colors and symbols stayed

But I have like 25 ish of them

And I named all of them the previous day 🥹

https://tenor.com/view/lonely-depressed-sad-gif-5990129

[peak beacon]

Yeah maybe it didn’t make it in this patch if he talked about it today. I don’t see it in the patch notes. Sorry 😞

[lunar jackal]

It's okay. I'll either go back to my second new save or just make a new one lmaoo

[calm glacier]

changelog updated

[foggy violet]

I was legit like “oh, what’s a few fridges”, but then I remembered the footage you shared and I SUDDENLY REMEMBERED. You’re the one with the Nightmare Farm. ❤️

[lunar jackal]

No, it just looks so bad temporarily 😭

Just been adding stuff as I go

Than any real plan 😭

😭

[foggy violet]

Thirty thousand storage bins.

Five hundred animals.

[lunar jackal]

😭

I need to be organized!

I can't just throw everything anywhere

-trundles over to #💬general-sunnyside -

[twin comet]

being able to access all storage from one is just chefs kiss

[ebon turret]

This is so good, bless

I seem to be able to access the Tanuki MK5(truck?) storage without buying it yet but I won't complain if Kyle lets me stash a few items in it while it's just sitting there parked

[lunar jackal]

I just had to force close the game. Which sucked because it was at the end of the day. The game had simply froze and then unpaused briefly when I switched windows to see if it would unfreeze. I tried to see if I could wait till the day ended but it didn't. Much sad. If I can reproduce it I'll put it in the bugs channel.

[peak beacon]

Sorry that happened
What were you doing when it froze? Like did you have any menus open in game? Like the pause menu, phone, battle ending screen etc.
or was it just randomly while playing? If so do you remember what you were doin?
Not sure if that would have anything to do with it but I’m curious 🧐

[shrewd thorn]

I don't see it mentioned here.. but .... the Access Other Storage is... AMAZING!

[peak beacon]

It brought a single tear to my eye

[shrewd thorn]

absolutely! Mine too!!

[peak beacon]

also the autorun is so handy. Early game especially

[shrewd thorn]

oooh.. I see 😮 autowalk! I was confused for a minute thinking it was Shift, but it's C ... got it 😄

walks head on into a building nope.. I'm not a fan, but I can see how some folks are 😄

[peak beacon]

yeah i just use it for running across town mostly. Its not for everyone though

using it inside buildings is a hazard lol

[shrewd thorn]

I like that about this game.. they put features in for EVERYONE.. not just me 😛 coz.. I'm important, but others are too 😄

[lunar jackal]

I haven't been able to reproduce it. But it froze while I was mining a rock in the foresting area next to Gabe's place at night I think it was about 21:00 something

[twin comet]

did yall increase the stack size or is my game just glitching in my favor

[peak beacon]

Stack sizes on some items were incresed a couple updates ago. Mostly things like food iirc

[twin comet]

its my wood that randomly stacked to 110

I would love the wood stacking more and iron lol I have so much iron

and its not even me hoarding it, its just I need so many mats rn 😤

[peak beacon]

oh yeah thats not a thing i dont think. ive had some items stack when they shouldnt when grabbing them out of certain inventories. Like the service box i think

[twin comet]

oh fair

[peak beacon]

but yay for you lol

[twin comet]

small wins? I will take it

[peak beacon]

❤️

[lunar jackal]

Happened again. This time during the morning. 8am something. But it was the rocks along Gabe's side of the river. Complete freeze.

At least, I didn't do too much but I did decorate a little.

My last frozen screen grab. I do use a screen tablet as a second monitor. There's a youtube video playing on it, but I turn them down to 360p since i listen more than watch.

This exact action was how it froze last time. In that animation

[lunar jackal]

Crashed on this same exact rock. Hmmm. Feel free to DM me if you need any more assistance

Was able to get a video.

[peak beacon]

sad face

do you have the skill unlocked that has more drops? not sure if that could be related but just wanna ask 🤔

[lunar jackal]

Yep! The first level

[lunar jackal]

Hidden, you're a gem. No sads. It'll make me sad. 🥹

[peak beacon]

Im just sad face bc i feel for yall dealing with crashes. I know it sucks. At the same time finding causes of bugs brings happy face 🙂

and thank you ❤️

[peak beacon]

I couldnt get it to crash for me with the same skills and such unlocked if youd like to send your save i can see if it crashes for me on yours. Up to you though 🙂

[lunar jackal]

I'll DM it to you when I finish uploading ❤️

[lunar jackal]

Freezing seemed to be resolved by switching from NVidia Studio drivers to Game Ready ones. 🤔

[ancient bane]

We Betas back to Betaing or what

[twin comet]

Of course

[ancient bane]

Watched your Twitch stream Rainy, excited for other features to come to sandbox.

Question though, what bugs are you wanting from us? Options not working? Sandbox is inherently janky so I assume we are just looking for crashes or options not working right?

[ancient bane]

First ask:

Allow objects that require touching “ground” to be freed from this limitation so I can build houses on top of other objects.

Allow the player to fly/hover somehow

Free the player to allow them to move through invisible walls

So far it’s a crazy amount of fun!

[icy dragon]

More so looking for feedback, like you said the spirit of a sandbox mode is to break conventions of the normal game so unless something is mega broken do report it but more so like you already sent, feedback is good! 🙂

Oh and if something doesn't do what it says it's supposed to do, like if plants still die in death seasons etc.

[ancient bane]

The beginnings of my own personal Laputa

[paper cobalt]

can i suggest being allowed to just buy any plants from the app?

in sandbox mode, even with skip collision check on, if you place something and then try to move it, you cant place it through items such as trees

[hollow badger]

maybe a not so random question: will Sandbox mode impact the pricing on items at all? or will they stick to either a cosy / RPG value?

[hollow badger]

also +1 for fish-bike in Sandbox mode.

[rigid fox]

The sandbox mode is fantastic! There was a lot more to it than I expected, but I'm +1 on the suggestion to being able to buy all the plants from the app year round. Just when I thought I was done with SunnySide for awhile, you pulled me back in 😆

[ancient bane]

Anyone here deciphered the code on the frog image from rainy yet?

I think I have, but I haven’t looked in game yet.

[icy dragon]

wait have you got it yet? 😛 if not, then keep looking

[icy dragon]

You can select the game modes when you start your sandbox game 🙂 So they work the same

[icy dragon]

Thank you, will see about having SunnySeed show you everything!

[ancient bane]

The new skills app should definitely have a back button (unless I missed it) seems like I have to close the app each time to back out to check other branches!

Also could not enter the barrens, I read that we may be able to enter, was just unsure if I could in sandbox. I need a specific gem.. for reasons

[mystic creek]

You can click the branch text at the top to get back to the other branches. It's not obvious it's a button though.

[ancient bane]

Oh thanks for the heads up! A suggestion to make it obvious, but classy then 😃

[ebon turret]

Yeah it's ||in rot13||

[nimble hound]

Cheater 😂

[ancient bane]

I got that part, but also never realized there was more text so just based it on the first line haha. Rainy had to poke me in the right direction.

[ebon turret]

||You gotta check every time, just in case||

[icy dragon]

I adjusted a few things after watching you yesterday 😛
