otter still has the mommy role sorry

[pearl hollow]

Xenoblades also does smth like this, they turn into energy

[iron bobcat]

Your pfp, sksksks. I love him.

[gusty oracle]

Too late. I have shed the m

[pearl hollow]

Hes just a lil guy

[iron bobcat]

Just a lil' lad.

[lavish surge]

thank you for reminding me of my meds lmao

[sick pawn]

I have bad memory and get easily distracted, so these lil reminders help me remember to do things too

[lavish surge]

i would set an alarm for my meds but eventually i just start to ignore it lmao

[next moon]

why are you assuming palia players are mentally ill? (taking my meds rn)

[lusty light]

make sure to look after yourself too! the mom friend always looks after their friends and often forgets themselves !! 🤍

[lusty light]

ME FR

[lavish surge]

or physically (took my meds that act as my adrenal glands)

[lusty light]

the way i remember to take my meds is leaving it somewhere very obvious that i see everyday (in the kitchen for me) so it’s always a reminder (hashtag object permanence adhd)

[lavish surge]

i have mine in a med organizer, works great in the morning lol

[lusty light]

same !!

i have the day by day one haha i feel like an old person but it helps so much

[lavish surge]

literallyyyy

[lime narwhal]

meds? oh no

[lavish surge]

if i was only on one med i’d put it in like a little claw machine but that’s not plausible atm

[lusty light]

omg that would be so cute

[sage umbra]

is my temple of the roots tree supposed to be dropping a seed daily? i saw someone say it does but mine isnt!

[sage umbra]

thanks for the reminder

[frigid vapor]

||not the tree just the statue you get for finishing the roots bundle||

[lavish surge]

my reminder was sponsored by another persons reminder lolll

[sage umbra]

i have the statue

[frigid vapor]

Finally saw a hot dog in the wild.

[frigid vapor]

How long have you had it? If you just got it today it won’t drop anything until the daily reset.

[sage umbra]

had it for a few days 😦

[frigid vapor]

Yeah if you haven’t gotten anything yet I’d contact support. It’s supposed to drop something once per real life day

[sage umbra]

will do

[sage umbra]

reddit says ||its the galdur statue that gives the seeds, not the tree!||

i realise thats prop what you meant by|| 'not the tree'|| hahah

[frigid vapor]

||that’s what I was talking about. Easy to get confused honestly.||

[sage umbra]

tyty ❤️

[frigid vapor]

No problem! ☺️

Are we still on fire?

[arctic parcel]

What's on fire?

[pale dune]

[next moon]

me

[pale dune]

Burn baby burn

[light junco]

Me

That red isnt redding at all. I mean the role colour “red”

[ornate stone]

The hottest new track from The Bahari Boyz "Can't Get You Out Of My Runeworkings". It's one of the few examples of high-energy Galdurpunk that's made it to the top of the charts in last 40 sun cycles. Truly impressive next to greats like Grimalkins Grimm's "Hairball Today, Gone Tomorrow" and the perennial favorite from The Bard Formerly Known As Prints "Purple Rain", a ballad about falling in love with Flow.

[pale dune]

did you come up with that on the spot?

[ornate stone]

Do you mean on the Spotify? Because the hits are lit. 🔥

[arctic parcel]

I'm loving it lol

[pale dune]

lol!

[hard olive]

This is a Wendy’s

[fresh nova]

🎵 only when I see you cry I feel conflicted in my mind, it fills my heart up and it breaks me at the very same time 🎵

[hard olive]

The Bahari Boyz must have a bunch of flow related songs. Unless singing about flow is somehow illegal?

[gusty oracle]

Flow infused songs?

[ornate stone]

There's a real earworm of a tune called 'Let It Flow' from their last album, Frozen, that I really like. All the tracks together illustrate the trials and tribulations of trying to map change from Kilima to Bahari without your game client locking up as you embark on a quest to find 3+ likeminded users to take down a Flow Tree Grove only to come home at the end of a run with 3 logs and a burning desire for a minimap. I feel it on a soul-deep level with every listen.

[light junco]

What can you do with the tent?

Can you remove it?

[hard olive]

“Let it flow - the grove never bothered me anyway”

[hard olive]

Your tent can go into storage if you’re not using it :)

[celest zenith]

Will S6 do more Twitch Drops?

[vapid zinc]

Yes

[sick pawn]

Yeah from the Twitch Drops blog, there are still two more waves of drops to go through with the Sandy Palcat stuff https://palia.com/news/palia-steam-drops

I feel like with this trend, there's still the other two Palcats we can get themed stuff of

[harsh hemlock]

well i read something about the s6 today

[dark latch]

Wheres the best place to mine iron ore?

[iron bobcat]

Bahari Bay. ❤️

[dapper delta]

Tonight has been the night of plushies for me. Got my 2nd Order sernuk and the ancient silverwing plushie from Zeki's

[spice pewter]

Wow, nice. Congrats!

[dark latch]

Tongiht has been the nioght of disappointment for me... lol

[dapper delta]

Ty!

I need ALL the plushies in my possession

[lime narwhal]

🪦 rip melbelle and the 49 🪦

[dapper delta]

Melbelle was one of the ones laid off?! 😱

[harsh hemlock]

layoff in the great game 😦

[lime narwhal]

yeah

[forest matrix]

[lime narwhal]

we only have asherelle as the CM now

[harsh hemlock]

[harsh hemlock]

awww i see

[lime narwhal]

the one running all the front facing socials including twitter discord and more

[dapper delta]

I'm so sad for all of them. They've worked so hard for us

[harsh hemlock]

maybe it was due to low finance issue there dealing with?

[lime narwhal]

you can learn more about their work and issues through S6's glassdoor page

[harsh hemlock]

agreed. hate to see the game see delays in updates and bugs fix cuz of this issue

does it say why?

[full lava]

question... ||will the dowsing rod show me where the grove spawns after midnight? 🤞 kinda hoping so lol||

[scenic prairie]

so i managed to turn in all 10 pebbles to einar and i made sure to keep them all before giving to make sure i had them all, but i didnt get the achievement???????

[scenic prairie]

only if youre close enough honestly just wearing headphones and listening to grove go off is better than relying on rod that needs to be within like 200m from you to show em

[lime narwhal]

im legit expecing patches to happen every 2 months now due to the layoffs

[spice pewter]

Yeah I'm reading those glassdoor reviews right now. Interesting stuff for sure.

[full lava]

ohhh i didn't realize that the grove had an audio associated with it! shoot i should stop blasting my music over the game audio..

[lime narwhal]

there's always a main issue with cough cough 🐯 in the reviews

[scenic prairie]

yeeaa honestly tho the game sound in this is really good i turned the music all the way off so its just ambient sounds

also make sure the sound is on headphones and not speaker for panning rule

[next moon]

😗 if they were having buggy updates before the layoffs.. what's it going to look like now? i love palia but im a tad worried tbh

[leaden relic]

Might look like that

[next moon]

basically yeah

[pliant bone]

I also did not get the wall lamp. Though I got every other recipe.

So, Now I’m going in and out of the underground trying to buy as I’ve also bought everything else there..

The Palia wiki doesn’t even have complete information on it, so it’s possible others are facing it and not reporting it.

[nocturne oasis]

-what is the best food to cook/eat for focus? cost/value wise

[leaden relic]

Basic cake from cake parties

If you’re cooking alone probably sernuk noodle stew right now with all the hunting. It’s easy too

[velvet leaf]

I always just eat apple jam because it's zero effort.

But if I have cakes from a party I do eat those.

[sharp elk]

Anyone know if there is an interactive map that shoes where the chappa piles are at ?

[lime narwhal]

https://palia.th.gl/en/rummage-pile

[mellow rose]

I would like to see an NPC we can cook with for the weekly.

[native oasis]

I want all the plushys why is it so hard to get them

[sharp elk]

Thank you so much

https://tenor.com/view/screaming-mad-fish-sponge-bob-angry-gif-12369198217513035864

finally got the Sernuk plush

[quiet ermine]

Question, is there only one Sernuk plush or are there ones of each type of Sernuk?

Because I got the basic/young one, but I'm wondering if there's ones of the elder and disco deer

[leaden relic]

There are

[quiet ermine]

Hell yeah!!

Gonna get my hunting level SO high lol

[leaden relic]

Gives a good reason to hunt

[quiet ermine]

Ye ye! Super excited!! I love plushies in real life, so I'm making a point to try and collect them all in game lol

[leaden relic]

Would’ve been well rounded if the flower cap wasn’t 500. No reason to catch a bunch of bugs anymore. They should release some bug & fish plushies

[unique plume]

Timezones Palians!

[spark comet]

How you get said plushies, I always see you beings conversating about?? ^_^

[lavish surge]

sernuks can drop them, and you can also get them from zeki’s machine thing

[tranquil frost]

There is a bumble bee and an ancient fish plush

[leaden relic]

Only from the zeki’s gacha though. I have a couple ancient fish plush from it. Really want the me ‘n my honey bunches bee

[spark comet]

I WANT THE ANCIENT FISH

[tranquil frost]

Oh you mean for us to obtain out in the world, i agree!

[stuck pawn]

Howww is it that I can get two rare items to drop from a diff game, but I still cannot get a Sernuk plushie to drop yet...

[leaden relic]

Yes. There’s 2 plush for a quick add. They should do a few more though

[strong pond]

Love your pfp, fun guy plushies are indeed cute

[upper pagoda]

Hi! I redeemed the twitch drops on my inventory page and logged into the game but there are no rewards in my news

[round obsidian]

sacrificing to the wrong rng god

[tranquil frost]

Yiss, chapaa and muujin plushies

[upper pagoda]

Any ideas?

[strong pond]

Chapaa are already in Maji Market, though

[tranquil frost]

Yeah but they aren't the animal variations that we can hunt

[leaden relic]

They can do different chapaa. Normal, striped and azure

[round obsidian]

give it maybe an hour and relaunch could be a delay if it’s def not there maybe tomorrow contact support

[stuck pawn]

Makes sense, have about 1500 hours in that game, so of course that one is being kind lol

[upper pagoda]

Ok ty!! I want my palcat plush lol

[strong pond]

I really freaking hate hunting Muujins, CAN wait for muujin plushie drops X(

[leaden relic]

I do too. Not looking forward to the magic ones

[stuck pawn]

missing hot pot

[tranquil frost]

The worst is the magic muujin, he's such a rat

[round obsidian]

omg they do that it’ll be muujin extinct 2 boogaloo

[tranquil frost]

They deserve it

[strong pond]

So first hoomans, then the coelacanths, and NOW muujins? Holy darn, are you sure that Embra herself isn't just Kilima Village magic in bird form?

[round obsidian]

[lime narwhal]

too early to play on the new map
too late to play hotpot

just in time to hunt bugged plushies

[strong pond]

[velvet fern]

[unique plume]

They're the easiest creature to hunt tho, they're super slow

[spark comet]

New map?? o.O

[round obsidian]

i had that song on repeat the other day that when my sis was watching a short i knew what she was watching right away

[lime narwhal]

i mean they have to release one eventually right

[strong pond]

But yeah, as someone who completed every single bundle and is satisfied with my home, I have nothing more to do than hunt bugged plushies

[spark comet]

True

[lime narwhal]

my money is on possibly a new elderwoods map

[strong pond]

For me, I have the most cruddiest depth perception, so watching them trot off into a hill is... Pain

[stuck pawn]

Wanna go to the main city as well

[round obsidian]

that might be me soon, if i can get my fish to drop

[lime narwhal]

or maybe we might get a new island map

cuz our 2nd map is an ocean

[strong pond]

I had winter break (no school for 2 weeks), so I just used then to grind for my fishes.

Good luck!

[round obsidian]

ah smart

[native oasis]

I didn’t realize there were 3 different plushys we can get when hunting

[round obsidian]

yea new since update

[strong pond]

1. Pain.
2. Also pain.
3. Triple the pain, also bugged

[lime narwhal]

4* the order one isnt the one you're supposed to get but it's available now

[strong pond]

You can get it from Zeki's gatcha machine

[native oasis]

I need to see a pic of all of them I’m so confused with which ones I’m missing

[stuck pawn]

Ive been hunting just the normal sernuk, nope... dang plushies... not being cozy

[round obsidian]

#🤝│game-help message

[strong pond]

I hunted the elder sernuk ones because they're overly abundant in Bahari and less competition, so I got that plushie, but normal sernuk plush is... a pain

[round obsidian]

the white one isn’t available atm but when they fix it sometime it will be

[strong pond]

It sucks, because the proudhorn plushie is my favourite of the four tbh

[weak niche]

Sup yall

Does anyone know how I can contact the palia devs

I've got questions I wanna to ask'em

[pale grove]

If it's about certain things, they occasionally go through rooms here. So find a room that makes sense. Otherwise send them an email regarding your take on the game through their website

[weak niche]

That's fair

All I want is to have high ceilings in large rooms

[pale grove]

Definitely send them an email then. I cried and moaned about housing plots before. Obviously enough people had similar complaints, and now we can have multiple Farm houses in one plot

[unique plume]

Can you believe that we chopped down the grove at 7am?

[pale grove]

That's some patience

[unique plume]

It took us ages to find it

[pale grove]

Where was it hidden?

[unique plume]

Northwest windy ruins

[nova flare]

No no...
Kitsuu pet when... XD

[tranquil frost]

That would be nice!

Anyone else hoping the giant buttercup looking flowers from the Temple of Roots will someday become flowers we can plant on our housing plots?

[valid parcel]

Hey Guys and gals. I havent played Palia in a hot minute, but decided to download it on steam now that its available. I saw marriages something in one post. Is it now possible to get married to npcs or is it just decor. I know you can romance but is marriage now new?

[inland osprey]

What's this supposed to be? The site i get confuses me

[inland osprey]

Nope, they released wedding outfits in the premium store 🙂

[valid parcel]

Aaah....so its just clothing...lol danitt...i almost got happy

[elfin ruin]

Level 5 friendship quests are coming soon ™️ though, who knows what that will entail

[ivory prairie]

Has anyone else noticed bird nests up high around bahari? im on a mining run for iron cause i need arrows but ive seen a few so far.

[spice pewter]

Yeah I've seen those too, I have no idea what they're for though. Part of a quest? Or maybe a new critter to hunt in a future patch?

[valid parcel]

Thanx soo much...that really will be awesome

[hollow lotus]

I think there's only one? I don't have a link to it but i think it's an NPC ||quest|| that involves the ||eggs|| from the Temple of Gales

[hollow quartz]

Good morning, happy weekends

[twilit field]

could just be set dressing, although the new silverwings have nests so maybe they will start showing up in Bahari as lootable spawn locations in the same way we have the ones on our plot.

Would love to see birds in general flying overhead and on the ground hanging out or in trees

[ivory prairie]

yall send halp tiny human is acting like im a jungle gym

[leaden relic]

It would be entertaining if the birds flew down and grabbed the flying insects instead of the weird disappearing animation they currently have

[stuck bolt]

Yall I just started on the 20th and my switch says "played over 130 hours" for palia-

Honestly I cant even explain what this games done to my sleep schedule

That's a little over 7 hours a day 💀 I need help-

[light junco]

I couldn’t catch this purple worm 😭😭

It was so cute and idk why it wouldn’t work

[lime narwhal]

It's a data compilation site for all things people have found through the Palia files, serves as a decent wiki aside from https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Palia_Wiki

Na lol

[leaden relic]

Palia is everyone’s home. Even cheaters

[hushed patrol]

Lol

[warm karma]

TIL Muscle Mommy is a Lesbian

Apparently cheat engine works with this game..

I saw a reddit post about it idk if its still true tho

[hushed patrol]

Big oof

Initially I thought Palia had big potential but lately it's going downhill.

[warm karma]

I like the game but yea they need to figure out monetization and even the simplest anti-cheat would stop cheat engine

There is no competitiveness to the game tho so not the worst if ppl wanna ruin the experience for themselves

Yeah i didnt know free premium currency was a thing lol

[hushed patrol]

I'd like it if we could play Palia offline

I'd pay for a copy of the game.

[warm karma]

Palworld is a diff game tho

They were marketing it as an MMO so maybe that. Initially ppl were really disappointed it wasn’t an MMO in the typical sense

What is?

[hushed patrol]

Lol

Well one thing is how they delete things from patch notes after they're released.

S6 is fishy ngl

First I noticed was this last market and then these flowers

Like each update they add things to the game but in the same breath cause glitches and remove things from the game

[inland osprey]

Probably easier to delete them from the list instead of keep having to explain "we wanted to add them but they aren't available rn bc it didn't work"

[hushed patrol]

S6 should probably just hand Palia over to someone else

[hushed patrol]

Either way they won't admit they mess things up each time.

I don't understand how they manage to mess up things that were fine before like items that people already have had or muujins that were fine before.

But like is someone intentionally messing things up? Cuz it feels like it sometimes.

[fair bridge]

Havn't played the game in a long time and I saw that theres new face shapes as of a few months ago? Are you able to modify an existing character's face shape yet?

[warm karma]

It means theyre going broke, idk what u meant by fishy tho

[inland osprey]

Pretty sure you can use Jels mirror for changes 🤔

[hushed patrol]

You can edit your character at the mirror in Jel's shop only once every few days though.

[warm karma]

Sure but by fishy are u implying theyre intentionally trying to ruin their game?

[hushed patrol]

Something's not right that's for sure.

[warm karma]

They just dun goof'd I think

[hushed patrol]

I wonder if we'll still have Palia next year

[warm karma]

Why would they put so much effort and money into the game jsut to kill it?

Sorry my brain must be not as big as yours your majesty

[hushed patrol]

Might not be their choice at some point.

[solid viper]

They wouldn't, quite frankly. There are a lot more plausible causes for the current issues than "conspiracy to sink their own game - which some devs have put 5 years of their lives into, mind - for nebulous 'reasons'."

[compact gust]

im more interested in why are people who have nothing related to the company are discussing business practices of a company they have no idea for what actually happens internally and why the layoffs happened. Secondly, they could just have angels sinking cash into the game like theres no tomorrow hoping for a payoff. Thirdly, daily fishing competition petition day 5. Lastly, relax on the topic of business and just enjoy the game, if youre not enjoying the game, no point in delving into it at all, as the saying goes "dont count other peoples money"

[leaden relic]

I think it’s all going to be ok. Everyone should stop being negative and go take it out on the sernuks.

[inland osprey]

I don't get how "we evaluated the support needed" goes together with "reducing workforce by 35%"
Like, that seems contradictory? But idk enough about business to comment on it tbh
However i'm puzzled why that means "the game is sinking" or won't be there next year🤔
Or was there another article about issues they are dealing with?

[leaden relic]

They may disappear for a while like the muujin. They’ll probably come back though

[solid viper]

Nah, really all we know so far is the workforce reduction. That's all we're going to know, too, unless the devs - laid off or otherwise - say anything (and they're absolutely going to be limited by ndas and such)

[compact gust]

it goes perfectly together. Imagine seeing for example 20 developers of whom 15 do the majority of work and 5 barely do anything. Laying the 5 off would be both evaluating how much support the game really needs and laying off what additional support isnt needed

[leaden crypt]

why in the world would you use that example of all things 😭

[compact gust]

twitter had a major layoff of talented individuals and its running perfectly fine still, of course id rather not open the recommended tab and see mainly only explicit content

comparing anything with anything aparently is wild. its just two companies that did layoffs. In this case, twitter was a lot more open over why the layoff happened

again, theres literally 0 reason to speculate it here

jesus just how much did you invest in the game's development for them to owe you that

[inland osprey]

Sure, freedom to think and stuff, but then be upfront about just speculating and not talking as if it's facts tho 😅

[solid viper]

We've hit 'conspiratorial doomer' discussion at this point, quite frankly. It's super unproductive.

[honest wind]

seconded!

[tepid abyss]

Thirded

[compact gust]

opinions are completely fine. There's no reasons to state opinions as facts

[primal aurora]

[vagrant sphinx]

i think

America ya :D.

[compact gust]

ok was about to quote sth but the discussion seems to be heading in the right-er direction

[vagrant sphinx]

i like snowmobiling in canada

[wild hawk]

Should I message modbot for my alpha role back or? I submitted the form for it a month ago and still didn't get my role back :(

[honest wind]

yep!

[sweet beacon]

Just going to pipe up one comment as someone who has been aware of the game for a while but only just started playing with the Steam release: this huge layoff doesn’t give me a lot of confidence to want to keep investing much time in the game… doesn’t look good just from an outsider perspective

[abstract citrus]

I think the goldfish needs to be fixed

[vagrant sphinx]

honestly thats what scares me i like that games its diff from all the others in its own way i hate to see it die over some layoffs

[sweet beacon]

Not trying to be a doomer, it just makes me have some concerns

[inland osprey]

I thought he had been fixed? Is he still missing? 🤔

[sweet beacon]

I’m not going to stop cold turkey, but I am going to probably step back a little and keep in mind to just enjoy it while it lasts I guess

[abstract citrus]

Ive been trying for months and apparently someone reached level 30 without finding him😭

[vagrant sphinx]

well no not exactly but this is just step one in most cases

[inland osprey]

That sentence makes is seem as if the ppl left on their own instead of being laid off😅

[solid viper]

It's not ideal. That said, it also doesn't help any to drop the game if you're already enjoying it IMO. That's just going to make it fail regardless. Just gotta get what we can out of the team's hard work and hope they can right the ship

[inland osprey]

Aah okay

[sweet beacon]

Actually also as someone who’s been the one laid off before: it feels really bad, so my condolences to anyone it affected who might still be around in here

[abstract citrus]

Does the game only make money from the outfits?

[inland osprey]

Bc i would assume the "Captain" would be the devs and not the players, my bad

[abstract citrus]

Cause its so pricy😭

[solid viper]

...that's... not how it works, because they're almost certainly looking at user numbers as a factor for keeping the lights on, but ok!

[sweet beacon]

I think that’s arguable. If people log into a game and the servers are almost empty and there’s no active community, there’s less incentive to stick around. It’s also another bad sign like layoffs

[vagrant sphinx]

real i just wanted to buy a cowboy hat only and i gotta pay 20 for the entire thing

[inland osprey]

Wait, so now you're saying that lots of ppl playing it would be bad unless they buy outfits?

[humble flower]

Gotta remember guys, It's a free downloadable software. Don't expect the best from it. Gotta admit, I'm addicted and I love it.

[tranquil frost]

We've been asking them for a long time to split the outfits up, there is some sign that maybe they're working on it considering the recent change to the wardrobe but who knows, its a very requested thing tho.

[sick pawn]

And it's very valid to have concerns!! Hearing the news has me very much conflicted and hurt myself. As a Shepp, one of the few things that's keeping me going is that I've met so many awesome people through the game, and at least for them I'm trying to muster whatever energy I have to be encouraging and try to remind others that the little things are still ways to help our current devs and community, as rough as situation is.

[abstract citrus]

I want the cottage core type outfits with the frog on it but i aint spending like $30 on it😭

[sweet beacon]

I’m sure there’s some ideal ratio of free players to whales or something

[vagrant sphinx]

ah that actually makes alot of sense

[abstract citrus]

Got hotdog outfits before the option to pet for palcats

[vagrant sphinx]

i was crying when i saw the hotdog

[inland osprey]

I think if you buy just one of the three outfits they are a bit cheaper; i don't know the exact price rn though

[abstract citrus]

Tau

Don’t disrespect my boy tau

[sweet beacon]

The dog makes me think of Warhammer every time I see him 😭 So incongruous

[sick pawn]

Clearly Hodari did /jk (For context, sometimes his weekly wants are Hot Hounds, but also just that his name in Finnish means hotdog lolol)

[inland osprey]

[abstract citrus]

Tau’s icon in relationships looks like a furry not that its a bad thing or not

[tranquil bear]

In germany Tau means dew

[abstract citrus]

I feel like watering your plants should give you xp

[solid viper]

If we get another festival, he needs a stall where he can sell grilled meat, where he's dressed as a hotdog. Or maybe Najuma gets the dubious honor, idk

[sick pawn]

I know by canon I think he would absolutely dislike that, BUT for the sake of the fans I would also love him in a hotdog suit

[sick pawn]

I'd seriously love to know the different name origins and translations I always love etymology and learning about words and such :D

[stable heart]

The game is in Open Beta now ? Will I lose all my bought outfit after moving to official release ?

[solid viper]

Nope. No wipes are planned

[stable heart]

Noice

[sick pawn]

All progress carries over to full release, yeee

[stable heart]

wow

[pearl tendon]

When’s full release?

[honest wind]

no word at this point!

[narrow pine]

[static snow]

There are a lot of games that end up staying in early release and never fully release. After the announcement of 35% layoffs, I feel that's gonna be the fate for palia. As much as I love this game :/

[compact gust]

can we do some layoffs from the topic

[static snow]

Nah. People are allowed to be concerned and voice their emotions about it.

[sly dirge]

What the heck did I walk into

[sturdy spire]

people discussing the layoffs and are concered for the staff and the game

[compact gust]

nothing serious

[neon abyss]

How do some peeps have a pretty tree with behind their galdur statue and I just have a patch of circle grass around mine?

[sick pawn]

As much as I'd love to be distracted from it as well, there's definitely gonna be some peeps coming in learning about what happened because different time zones or different times learning about what happened or life things happening on their end. I think it'd be fair to let peeps be able to discuss their thoughts and give them a space to talk about it with others who care about the game.

[stable heart]

Layoff new from studio making Palia ??

[static snow]

Unfortunately

[stable heart]

Even indie studio now doing layoff, I'll be damn

[marble bramble]

welcome to capitalism

[sly dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/window-jump-meeting-done-gif-3546103

[sweet beacon]

Tbh makes me glad Palia doesn’t have a player marketplace or anything like that set up

[stable heart]

ummm

[marble bramble]

tbf there are ways to make it good, its just there's too much that can go wrong bug-wise

[sweet beacon]

I just meant in terms of player relations and the vibe of the game

[stable heart]

well it's hard to say for sure, but I'll try to enjoy what ever it is that I can after work days then haha

[light junco]

Heyyyya

[tepid abyss]

Let's just not start discussions on the specifics of cheating, shall we?

[tepid abyss]

Hiii!

[warm karma]

Fair I just wanted to point out that its not as bad as they made it out to be, theres still a chance for Palia

[tepid abyss]

No worries!

[slate glacier]

Hey I need help I'm confused

[fluid burrow]

with what ?

[slate glacier]

Flow trees on ur plot I done everything but someone sed the statue thing gives u flow but I've got nothing

[ivory prairie]

its a chance for the seed to be flow

[slate glacier]

I'm confused do u have to collect from the statue or ur trees?

[ivory prairie]

i believe its from the statue you get from the bundle award.

[slate glacier]

Yeah the little white statue thing with glowy eyes

[hardy plaza]

I just read the announcement about layoffs. 😬 Please tell me this isn't gonna kill the game

[primal aurora]

Ancient Galdur Statue gives you one random seed every real life day, with a chance that the seed is a flow-tree version. After you plant that and water it enough for it to mature fully, you can pick up another flow-tree seed from the tree (which keeps going, as long as you keep replanting and watering).

[slate glacier]

Ahhhh so it might be today I get it then

[primal aurora]

Could be. Good luck!

[sly dirge]

Lost so many friends since launch, is the game this bad?

[slate glacier]

Yeah just went up to it n got a Samara Damm wait 24 hours then try again 😦

[primal aurora]

Yup, that's RNG. 😦

[fossil olive]

Happy Timezones Palians

[ivory prairie]

side note its funny you got my name there for a second LOL

[sick pawn]

It'll be really hard to say where the game goes from here, but we do still have our current hard-working devs who are working even harder to make up for the losses and are doing what they can. At this point all we can really do is wait for an announcement or post about "where we go from here" sort of deal, but it's definitely a very rough time for sure.

[livid timber]

I just like cowboys hehe

[ancient crag]

as long as they don't start paywalling narrative content a lot of folks will stay i think. if we start seeing 'reth story add-on!' in the cash shop i think the game dies tbh lol

or hodari or kenyatta you get the idea

[sly dirge]

H'mmm someone accuses someone and names them without back up is suss

[livid timber]

True

[ancient crag]

i know i'd quit if they started paywalling narrative stuff and i've heard the sentiment plenty

[tepid abyss]

Hi! So, public witch hunting is not something we do here

However, if you want to share this with us via ModMail, we'll be happy to help you out

[hardy plaza]

I'll cry if the game goes under. I'll be happy to wait longer for updates if need be but if paywalling happens or the game just.. gives up I'll be crying.

[sage fractal]

I just want a clearcut roadmap of where they expect to be at what they think is a full release and some honesty of how the financials are, and what they plan to do to improve them.

[celest zenith]

o/

[urban frigate]

They're not great at communication, so I would manage my expectations, if I were you.

[ivory prairie]

I love it when im mining and im pretty much in a empty server lol all the iron for me!

[sick pawn]

Yeah, I know I personally would find it unbearable if there was any more bad news to come. Palia is a game I've wanted to see thrive since day one of when I first heard about it, because so much of what I saw aligns with what I've always wanted in a game. It helped me get out a really dark time in my life, so big agree it'd be too sad to see it go down.

[fast breach]

No game developer does that so I wouldn’t hold my breath.

[livid timber]

Omg where do you find iron? I need some for Hodari 😭

[celest zenith]

Eat up all the choco chips

[round obsidian]

don’t eat the ore

[celest zenith]

All over Bahari Bay

[round obsidian]

there’s no dentist in the game yet

[sage fractal]

I'm not expecting anything of the sort, but one can always hope

[ivory prairie]

I tend to stick around the outskirts like on top of hills etc, Thorny thicket area.

[celest zenith]

But they look like choco chip ore

[urban frigate]

I didn't think Abigail made the move from sdv

[livid timber]

Kind of weird that there's no ore in the mines tho

[sick pawn]

The copper really does look like chocolate or caramel ksadfjlskfdj 😭

[round obsidian]

i’ll never unsee that tho now

[tall canopy]

Roadmap is a fair request but yeah financials not* so much

[celest zenith]

Copper Ore = Caramel, Iron Ore = Choco Chips

[hardy plaza]

I started playing in January and am obsessed with this game lol. The art, the story, the game play. It's all wonderful aaaa

[meager fulcrum]

This game has felt too good to be true from the start (it's everything I've ever wanted and more😭 ) and I hope everyone is able to push through this really difficult time to the best of their abilities and continue to give us the game we all have come to love. My heart broke for everyone involved today. Also pls don't consume the metal ore lmfaooo

[ivory prairie]

Thats cause they didnt want people to spend hours in a cave (whistles snow white theme)

[round obsidian]

there is sometimes just not a lot prob miss cuz ppl mining

[sick pawn]

🪨

[round obsidian]

[meager fulcrum]

I'll never look at copper the same #caramel

[ivory prairie]

[round obsidian]

[celest zenith]

Enjoy your caramel choco chips, be sure to request them to your fellow palians

[celest zenith]

These darn bugs (IRL) tryna tout me off

Where's an Auni when you need him

[fossil olive]

For democracyyy!

Wait wrong game

[sick pawn]

I have major fear of bugs so I can't be an Auni for you, I'm sorry

[ivory prairie]

ooh i got a shiny aquamarine

[meager fulcrum]

I love bugs in Palia and Palia alone lmfaooo

[celest zenith]

I'm bout to spray these mofos in perfume brb

[heady lance]

window cleaner will uh... turn them into goo in a few minutes for you. Then just a matter of wiping them away.

[fossil olive]

I try to catch and release always 🥹

[meager fulcrum]

I did this one time and it flew back at my face. I def died inside this day

[sick pawn]

Gettem!! Give 'em the ol' one-two

[heady lance]

I used to live in a sub-first-floor apartment, where my windows were at eye level with the ground. I got lots of ants in my kitchen, so window spray was the way to go

[round obsidian]

cursed to know this now

[heady lance]

it's not fun (I also prefer catch-and-release to avoid the mess), but it's a non-poison or fire alternative at least

[meager fulcrum]

Yes I do not like the smush...I don't like the wiggling when I'm tryna carefully move em but I'd rather that then seeing what happens otherwise...got way too much empathy lmfao I cried last time I hit one with a shoe...don't judge lmfaooo

[clever crescent]

personally, i prefer the watermelons, they have green, so `nuff said

[heady lance]

honestly, when I can I just try to let me cats take care of any insects, it's good stimulation for them

but last time I tried that with a large roach, they just spent hours torturing it without killing it. So I finally swept it outside my apartment, and it just kinda chilled out there in relief to escape my demon cats. First time I've ever felt sorry for a roach

[meager fulcrum]

Mine chooses if and when she wants to...sometimes a bug will be crawlin in her food and she's just starin at it head tilted...LIKE WHAT ARE YOU DOIN CAT lmfaoooo

[sick pawn]

Texas be full of the more "annoying" ones that you don't want in the house, so at least like flies or roaches for example I definitely smack the heck out of them.

[heady lance]

I grew up in AZ with scorpions, so... those don't get caught and released, they must be squished so they don't hurt anyone or my pets

[clever crescent]

if they didn't eat seven of them i think it's okay

[livid timber]

I am so afraid of bees and wasps even if they don't do anything to me, when I hear one I panic

[lament eagle]

damn, i see ppl discovered speed hack. Shooting arrows like a rail gun...

[sweet beacon]

I feel you, I also live in a very bug-prone place

[meager fulcrum]

omg yes she refuses to kill em just picks it up in her mouth and drops it on my bed like here mama i gotcha somethin AND SOMETIMES THEY'RE STILL ALIVE UGHHH

[tranquil frost]

I'm in australia so

[round sluice]

Phoenix is crazy with scorps. My bro used to catch them at The Pointe Resort, all the time

[heady lance]

Need someone to deal with a snake/scorpion/tarantula/lizard? I can do that. Roaches and hunstmen spiders? I get my new yorker / aussie colleagues to help me out, lol

[tranquil frost]

fiance catches the huntsmen spiders and releases them, pretty much everything else gets bonked

we get these tiny little scrops where we are they're so cute but noty

[round obsidian]

[sick pawn]

Y'all are heroes

[round sluice]

"Oh, look! What a cute little squirrel... AAAAAGH!! My face!" - Some Aussie, probably

[meager fulcrum]

She eats zero is the problem lmfaooo she just plays with em and sometimes picks em up and gives em to me still wriggling lmfaooo totally normal cat behavior yes...just ughhh stahhhp lmfaooo

[heady lance]

I read about that dude who managed to get bitten by a gila monster and didn't survive the experience, and all I could think of is how. Those things are so slow and hard to find in the desert.

You'd really, really, really have to go out of your way to get those giant poisonous lizards to move, let alone bite you

[round sluice]

Both poisonous and venemous. Gila bites are no joke

[round obsidian]

we just get a ton of lady bugs and flies (occasional wasp/bee that i gotta take out tho as my bro is allergic) so they get no mercy

[round sluice]

Best guess, accidentally stepped on it

[heady lance]

All my years in the desert and hiking, I never even saw one out in the day. Rattlers, yes. Puma tracks, a few times. Even the occasional bobcat, rarely. But yeah, impressive way to go I guess

[round obsidian]

that’s a big lizard (just googled)

[meager fulcrum]

I had to google it too lol holy crap

[round sluice]

"TADA!" (jazz hands) 🪦

[tranquil frost]

supposedly it was his pet

[light junco]

Kangaroos are best pet animals

[round obsidian]

[round sluice]

Ah! Then he died of dumb. That explains it

[heady lance]

yeah, I think that's what I'd read too. shakes head Gila monsters really shouldn't be allowed to anyone except trained zoo keepers

[ivory prairie]

[tranquil frost]

Absolutely x2

[light junco]

I hate mozzies 😭

[round obsidian]

just have a pic printed out and say “we couldn’t keep it as it’s too deadly so here’s our attempt at having it”

[round obsidian]

what’s a mozzie ?

[heady lance]

I'll have tos ee if Clint's Reptiles has done a bit on Gila Monsters as pets or not yet. If he hasn't, that'll be an episode about as classic as his green iguana one...

[round obsidian]

ah mosquito yea i don’t like them too

[light junco]

Yeah plus if you are in Australia LMFAO

[tranquil frost]

"bitten for four minutes and wavered in and out of consciousness for about two hours before seeking medical attention." jesus

[heady lance]

I don't think they just carry gila monster anti-venom anywhere, not even in Arizona 🤣 just one of those creatures no one's been dumb enough to be bitten by... before

[light junco]

I hate them so much like I NEED MY OWN BLOOD im already so skinny 😭

[round obsidian]

notes not to go to south usa

[heady lance]

Arizona is just kind of unique, really. It's fun trading stories with aussies of how many dangerous animals each place has

[tranquil frost]

supposedly they are illegal where this couple were too, bruh

[heady lance]

most poisonous/venomous creatures are 🤣 for good reason, I think

[tranquil frost]

insane, i can't imagine keeping something like that 😩

[heady lance]

they are gorgeous lizards, to be fair, those orange and black stripes are very striking

[tranquil frost]

definitely, they're v pretty

[celest zenith]

Huh what did I come back to without context

[tranquil frost]

that one is in regards to mosquitos

[celest zenith]

I got plenty of good smelly ones, I chose a good one for this dark morning

[heady lance]

mosquitos are terrible creatures.

[meager fulcrum]

Bugs, Austrailia, and stupid people owning creatures they shouldn't lmfao

[tawdry night]

Thanks, didnt try that

[tranquil frost]

No worries!

[ivory prairie]

Yeah that took longer then i like to admit to read LOL maybe i should put this show down and goto bed xD

[celest zenith]

Bro this cat not cool man

I was touching the floor looking for something and all I saw was a bit of orange fur and two eyes right at me in the dark

Scared the chapaa out me

[sick pawn]

I feel like I've heard people say there's "orange cat energy" and it refers to them being lil rascals and such

I think it was from a TikTok thing (but I also don't use it so not sure lolol)

[celest zenith]

My baby is on the special kind of things but I still love him

[sweet beacon]

I would associate orange cat energy with being really derpy

[ornate wave]

I finally got my first plushie after 5 consecutive nights of hunting 2 million sernuk

[tranquil frost]

ah yes, the orange cat one brain cell theory, i have heard of it

[heady lance]

Congratulations!

[celest zenith]

We have 8 cats total, 4 of which are orange

[sick pawn]

Please send them my regards in the form of pats

[celest zenith]

I got my baby in my lap

[tranquil frost]

there's a subreddit called OneOrangeBraincell it's dedicate to all the orange derp cats out there, it's great

[celest zenith]

He's a real chonker

[sick pawn]

I don't even know them, but I know I love them Cats are great c:

[celest zenith]

George and Spitz (black) are mine, then we got the first three, Soco (orange), Shine (orange) and Sassy (white). Then the youngest Butterscotch (Orange), Oreo (Black n White), and Mudpie (Calico)

[sick pawn]

I love their names

[celest zenith]

Ahhhh, wrapped his claws around my arm trying to reach the laptop

Soco, Shine, and Sassy are named after liquor, blame the crazy cat lady for these names (mother), George becuz he "looked like a George" and Spitz was because every time she hissed as a kitten, she'd spit. Butterscotch becuz orange butterscotch candy, Oreo like an Oreo cookie, and Mudpie like a Mississippi Mudpie

could have named Butternut Fred to have Fred and George

[ivory prairie]

I named my dog Mia (she used to get out of my old fence when she was a puppy so the joke was in my family was Mia=Missing in action) XD

[sick pawn]

Hopefully it doesn't hurt too much!! It's been awhile since I've had a cat, but some of them kitties definitely have claws 😭

[raw quiver]

I've got 2 bengals, they're a different kind of ornery

[sick pawn]

Gonna head to bed, but have another inconsistent reminder of mine to take care of yourselves today - hydrate, eat enough food, take your meds and do some stretch breaks every now and then!!

I hope everyone enjoys their time in-game, and make sure to report bugs and issues and help the devs make Palia a great game!!

[round sluice]

G'night, Phoenix

[wary horizon]

I just got the order plushie after 800 arrows, I wanna cry. 😭

Also lost server connection at grove😥

[tawny sorrel]

I just had my acceptance ceremony... totally not me tearing up, and definitely >not< bawling my eyes out 😭😭😭 so happy right now, over a silly little cozy game ❤️

[heady lance]

Agreed, that scene made me teary as well. I really felt very welcomed by the npcs

[wary horizon]

I had it recently and its beautiful. My sheep was Hassian.

[heady lance]

it was so hard to choose mine, but I went with Einar as my shepp

the npcs are all pretty endearing as I got to know them, so picking just one as shepp was hard

[wary horizon]

Theres not a hidius one to yoo? I can't stan Nai'o 🤣

[heady lance]

I didn't get the best first impression from Tamala, but as I improved my friendship level with her, I found her to be a much deeper character than I thought. Not my favorite by any means, but not awful either

[wary horizon]

Oh yeha, she is tricky

[heady lance]

I'd say my top 3 favorites are einar, reth, and eshe, but there's so many more npcs I love a lot too

[tawny sorrel]

i had a hard time as well, but ended up going with ashura. perhaps a bit basic, but he seems like the kind of person i would want to learn from.

[heady lance]

He's another character I really like too 😮 him and hodari are veryyy nice indeed

[clever sable]

I'm a little bummed that I didn't know how cool it would be. If I knew I would've recorded mine, it was so good! I want to look back at it and it hurts me a little that I can't

[heady lance]

Sometimes I kinda pop into the inn in the morning just to watch Ashura do pushups...

[tawny sorrel]

I think on my second or third time chatting with tamala, i decided i wanted to romance her 😅

[heady lance]

I'm ace, so I haven't romanced anyone yet, but boy, there's a few that are veryyyy tempting (einar/reth/hodari and ashura if he's ever available one day)

[paper sequoia]

patch notes says there are 9 pieces to the kilima rummage pile, but the wiki only lists 8. Anyone know which one is missing, By the pictures it looks like its the thing leaning on the wall with towels? on it

[tawny sorrel]

i am soo going for ashura if he becomes available. I know that he's still in love with his wife, and I get why he isn't a romacable character. but boy, do I wish he was 😅
reth is very charming - until he beats himself down and doubts himself. but I still like him. havne't yet decided whether i want to romance hodad-i mean hodari, but i will probably end up doing it anyway.

[heady lance]

I've never really wanted kids, but Najuma seems like she'd be a fine step-kid 😛

[tawny sorrel]

very much agree with you 😊

[meager fulcrum]

I'm very biased seeing as Hodari and Subira are my absolute faves...but I LOVE the depth to Hodari, Subira, and even Hassian's romance stories. And their banter with you is so much more meaningful to me. Just throwin in my 2 cents don't mind me (also love me some Reth and Einar but if I have to pick 2 it's the first ones I mentioned lolol)

[heady lance]

I think hassian/kenyatta/naio are just too young for me to consider romantically at all 🤣

[abstract citrus]

Isnthis for the shepp?

[clever sable]

I doubt Ashura will ever be romancable. I think there were some hints that there's something between him and Sifuu? At least some feelings from Sifuu's side I think

[abstract citrus]

Can we do the shepp with einar?

[tawny sorrel]

yes, after you've chosen your shepp, you get an acceptance ceremony.

[abstract citrus]

I love einar man hes my big pebble boy

[heady lance]

I can see how Sifuu and Ashura would connect with each other (if not romantically) as two burly ex-warriors who both ||lost a spouse||

[meager fulcrum]

You sure can!! My bf chose Einar and I chose Ashura! Loved getting to see his

[sweet beacon]

I saw that one relationship chart of NPCs had them and Chayne all listed as long-time friends

[abstract citrus]

I love gifting einar a pebble his reactions

[heady lance]

Einar was so dang excited when I chose him as my shepp, it was super adorable

[tawny sorrel]

i know. but hey, there's no rules against dreams

[heady lance]

I'm excited for level 5 friendship

[abstract citrus]

Spoilers||i got mad at the robot creature when he messed with einar and jinas robot 😤||

[meager fulcrum]

Einar is a treasure that must be protected at all costs.

[tawny sorrel]

me too! how dare he!

[abstract citrus]

How dare he mess with my boy

[heady lance]

I wonder if ||the gardener will get friendship levels? That's a neat new npc for sure||

his snark had me cackling

[paper sequoia]

hmm looks like its called Kilima Rummage Piles Cozy Ladder. anyone gotten this?

[heady lance]

not me, not yet. I kinda ghave up trying for recipes from the kilima pile after I finally got hte tiered fruit baskets

whewww, caught my third star ||ancient fish||. 3/5 on them now

[round sluice]

I got the makeshift ladder, but not the cozy

Sun's coming up. Time for me to go to bed. Good [time zone], Palia peeps

Isn't the cozy ladder unobtainable still?

[sterile crown]

We need animal farm in the game 🙂 i want my tiny pigs

[fossil olive]

Have a good sleep!

[light junco]

If we give the renowns ? What happens? i also think we get some stuff by using it , but if we commune it does it level up ?

[light junco]

I wanna ride a horse 🥲

[abstract citrus]

When it says 12 days to grow does it mean irl days or in game days

[coral bobcat]

In game days

[sudden topaz]

Im sure it's been talked about tons now in here... But I've just read about the layoffs in S6..

Anything to worry about with the game and company?

[glacial pulsar]

anyone on switch managed to hunt for the sernuk plushie? ive been hunting for days and no luck

[sudden topaz]

RNG

[supple pike]

I used approx 1200 arrows and still not a single plushie... Truly a luck thing 😔

[glacial pulsar]

damn

[tawny sorrel]

when you commune with the phoenix shrine, it ups your focus bonus. the dragon shrine ups your focus total

[sage fractal]

If it's regular sernuk that sucks, if it's elder than you shouldn't expect it yet

[tawny sorrel]

ingame, so aprox. 12 hours if you water every real life hour, or have water retain vegetables next to it

[floral harness]

Elder sernuk took me 23 kills 😅

[glacial pulsar]

the game must love you lmao. im back upto 80k from selling the meat etc off the sernuk

[light junco]

Ty ✨

[tame mica]

I used actually 1800 arrows and not a single one too

[floral harness]

yet im still at over 15000 Iron ores and 2900 Palium ore and still no Starred Sapphire or Ruby

[heady nova]

You get ruby and Sapphire from pal only

[supple pike]

it's regular sernuk

[floral harness]

Sapphire is Iron.

[heady nova]

Sapphire is Pal

[tawdry smelt]

Why does it feel like the Steam release brought some bad apples into the game x-x

[abstract citrus]

Ok so you need to craft new stuff to level up in furniture?

[heady nova]

I feel this

[floral harness]

I've mined over 15000 Iron and 2900 Palium the last 4 days. U dont think I know where I get the gemstones from?

[tired crescent]

Hi guys, I haven't played the game for half a year (stopped after the first Maji Market), has there been many new things added that actually have any depth to them, not just new furniture set?

[heady nova]

I've noticed a massive influx of a holes

[floral harness]

Remmy, even PAlia wiki says Sapphire - Mining - Iron

[heady nova]

And the fact it was released on steam right before makes me wonder

[tawdry smelt]

Players with gibberish names just pop in on groves and just chop everything down

Palium gives Amethyst and Ruby

[heady nova]

I NOTICED THAT

I was like "What's with all the gibberish names???"

[heady lance]

steam release has brought an influx of chinese players... who steal groves

[heady nova]

I don't understand the point in the names, is there some weird pro to having a weird name

[heady lance]

Happened on my server just now. I checked all the spawn points, no grove, and no call outs.

[heady nova]

YES YES YES, I run into them every day now , multiple times a day

And they steal the groves, so I block them so I don't end up in their server anymore

[heady lance]

It's a real shame because all the Japanese and Korean switch players learned to call out groves pretty quickly

[heady nova]

If I see people speaking chinese in chat it's an instant block on my end, because I don't chance it anymore

[abstract citrus]

#💬│palia-discussions can someone tell me the item😭

[heady nova]

It just infuriates me and makes the rest of my day sad

[heady lance]

China's usually quite strict about allowing its citizens to play online games with players from other countries, so... wonder if Palia will get blocked soon

[floral harness]

Heartdrop Lily

[heady nova]

They use VPNS

[heady lance]

I'm aware, but that's getting harder for them to get away with

[inland osprey]

Let's give them the benefit of doubt that there might be language barrier/not knowing about shouting out groves yet for some of the new players, but ye, even just on release day there was a weird influx of trolls here too

[heady nova]

Because the servers are regional, so they use VPNS to play in the American servers so they don't get caught spending more than 2 hours on a game

[heady lance]

yes, of course! Not trying to stereotype them all, I just noticed it as each time we've got a wave of new players from a new country, groves tend to get chopped quickly

[heady nova]

It isn't a barrier, they do know
And the way I know this is when people get upset they laugh at them and cuss at the players in chat

[tawdry smelt]

Like I said, it's just the ones with giberish names like fkdjlfdj who I've seen stealing groves

[sage fractal]

stealing?

[heady nova]

I have met ONE single nice person from china. The others will literally follow you around and steal your flow trees right in front of your eyes and laugh at you when you get upset

[tawdry smelt]

yeah, they bring a friend and just start chopping away while everyone else waits

[heady lance]

players refer to it as "stealing" when people chop groves before 2:00 / 2:30 without calling them out, or when others are waiting

[heady nova]

I had that happen to me multiple times, and seen a whole group of them mocking the players in the server

[heady lance]

Some of them have mastered animation skipping and can solo even the larger trees

[heady nova]

It's to the point it's just being evil intentionally

[floral harness]

bots

[tawdry smelt]

That's what I've been reporting them for

[heady lance]

Problem is they're so dang fast that they usually clear the groves before anyone can spot them and then report if they're the solo'ers

[heady nova]

They are intentionally doing it to make people upset, and being malicious.

I wish there was another category I could use to report them

[heady lance]

I only had time for one grove tonight, and it got chopped without anyone calling it out. So I have to wait another day for flow. It's a mild frustration, but it's not fun either

[white ember]

When did cutting down a grove become a reportable offense?

[heady nova]

Yep this has happened multiple times to me in the last week

[floral harness]

they're selling the planks for irl money as you can gift 20x planks at once. Its not just out of malicious intent

[tawdry smelt]

dude what

[heady nova]

Because the people who are doing it are just joining to chop the entire grove and make people upset then laugh and cuss at the players who are upset

[wild hawk]

This game technically has gold farmers?? Omg

[inland osprey]

I think it's more the mocking and insulting and stuff, not the cutting itself

[heady lance]

where there are online games, there are real money item/gold sellers

[floral harness]

if S6 reduces the amount of planks you can gift at once to 3 or 5 planks, it'll prob stop

[heady nova]

They are called server hopping bandits

[sage fractal]

or sell the account which has many planks/palium bars for the buyer to build whatever they like

[floral harness]

but since you can gift 20 at the time, and a total of 4 times. Its literally 80 planks at once

[white ember]

Ah fair enough

[heady lance]

I've heard them referred to as grove pirates. Hopping servers and clearing as many groves as they can per hour

[heady nova]

They jump from server to server, chop down all the groves right in front of people then jump to another one

[tawdry smelt]

[heady nova]

This ^^^ 100% correct

[tawdry smelt]

That's one way to ruin a community midnight event

[inland osprey]

Dang

[heady lance]

Worst case if I'm ever very desperate for flow, I can get a flow party going or even chop down my own plot's grove... but yeah, it's been frustrating because this week has really seen a spike in the grove pirates

[heady nova]

Yeah I dread the groves now..

[heady lance]

I ready myself to rush to groves to find them as fast as I can. I found one within 10 seconds, and already 2 players were chopping it all down. I barely even tapped half the trees, and it was done in 30 seconds.

[heady nova]

Because I KNOW some mf named wuecbwowpfnf is gonna come in and ruin everyones day

[heady nova]

I don't even try anymore Imao because it is so disheartening

[tawdry smelt]

This happened to me the other night. I was chasing DD and saw the grove and was like I'm like 2 hits away from taking him down, I'll just double back. Nope. I get to the grove, only 3 trees are standing that can't be soloed. So I sadly had to call it out to everyone because whomever chopped the other trees did it really sneaky

[heady lance]

I need more and more and more emberborn pieces, and that requires lots of flow, so I keep trying 😦

[heady nova]

Had some ahol do something sorta similar a bit ago only with flow trees not the grove. Someone called out 2 FTs and they literally ran over there and chopped them down right in front of that person...

And the person was like "I called that out for everyone why would you do that"

They just laughed ._. And left

[heady lance]

I appreciate that groves were a nice gesture from S6 to make finding flow easier, and a nice community event. Right now though, they are being taken advantage of by less-than-cozy players, so I hope they can get some kind of change the way that nodes did to make things less frustrating for everyone

[glacial pulsar]

i recently found out that the robot thing you get off one of the quests drops flow seeds and you can plant them on your plot. idk if it gives flow wood. i havent chopped them yet

[primal aurora]

If things stay the way they are, we might see a new meta shift, where players keep planting their own Flowtrees and sharing them, similarly to cooking parties.

[heady nova]

That would be cool

[heady nova]

They do yes, only downside is the seeds are difficult to obtain

[heady lance]

With enough watering, each flow tree seed gives me another flow seed, so... it's just... slow

[tawdry smelt]

It's just depressing because I honestly enjoy the groves...and the honey lures that sometimes get put out

[heady lance]

and it takes so much work that I'm not sure I'd have the heart to cut down my hard-grown flow trees

[heady nova]

They do??? That is so cool, I need to get a seed asap

I wanna have my own bbies

[heady lance]

but yeah, if the grove pirates keep decimating the asian servers during my limited evening palia play time, I'll have to eventually resort to cutting my personal grove down I guess

[primal aurora]

Same. I really enjoy the game when everyone cooperates, but sadly, you can't force others to play a certain way. Hopefully, those that don't share, and treat this game like a race, will eventually get bored/get everything they need and move on.

[heady nova]

[tall canopy]

This would be so lovely 🥰

[heady nova]

I hope enough people block them to the point they just give up trying to play Palia

I want the wholesome community back

[floral harness]

how would they give up on playing cause they got blocked and they're bots lol, they'll just keep playing in groups and keep cutting

[heady lance]

an easy fix I could imagine S6 doing, at least for groves, is making them temporarily immortal, say for 5 minutes or so. That'd make even the littlest trees easier to share, so it'd be a win-win

[heady nova]

Hmmm

[iron peak]

Does Blocking them confirm they won't be in the same server with us next time we go in say like Bahari or anywhere? I thought Blocking only pertains to them talking to us. 😲??

[heady nova]

Yes a wonderful idea, so people have a chance to get there

[sage fractal]

hell no, that would suck so much if you were stuck doing nothing with a group for 5 mins

[heady nova]

As far as I've tested blocking them keeps you from ever joining a server they are in again

Everyone I have blocked I have NEVER ended up in a server they were in again

[heady lance]

Most players don't cut groves until the 7 minute mark, so it'd not be that big of a change

[warm patio]

Are you in-game now? I'll give you some planks if you have requests open

[floral harness]

Just reduce the amount of planks can be gifted at once. Literally. Nothing for them to gain by selling it for irl money then.

[heady nova]

I can give some flow wood too

[heady lance]

Heading to bed now, but thank you

[heady nova]

Aw

[spice nexus]

i've been in a server with blocked players, even recently. don't think it works that way (probably just coincidence you don't see them)

[heady nova]

Hasn't happened to me yet and I've been playing for almost a year now

[iron peak]

Ooooh, oke, thank-Q. Need to pay more attention to usernames more during groves... They really are so fast and just run off after cutting groves while everyone is screaming at them to stop. 😭

[spice nexus]

pretty sure I saw somewhere too (don't remember where) that the devs were aware players were still on the same servers as people they've blocked too

[rocky mason]

The thing is, if you've blocked someone and they are on the same server as you, they don't show up in the list of players on that server for you

[primal aurora]

^jinx? nvm. eyes playing tricks on me

[heady nova]

Either way, they can't see my callouts so I'm not concerned

Someday I will block all of them 💀

[floral harness]

bots dont read chat and play around callouts tho

[crude quarry]

And not just for this reason alone. It doesn't make sense we can ask for 20 flow, yet only 1 piece of coral or briar daisy for example. The counts need adjusting anyway imo.

[heady nova]

Yeah if enough people block them in the server they wont know where the grove is by call out x3

By then HOPEFULLY everyone is there and got a hit on the trees

[spark wharf]

how in the world do you get a grove to grow on your own plot?

[abstract citrus]

How do i trigger the event to get jinas key

[rocky mason]

Does anyone know for certain that blocking someone prevents them from reading your messages? Has anyone tested this?

[heady nova]

It does

[livid yacht]

Question 🙋‍♀️ so I feel like I’m missing some recipes in the game am I supposed to collect some somewhere or are they just in my crafting straight away?

[floral harness]

Yes, but bots still dont read chat to figure out where flow trees or groves are.

[heady nova]

When you block them they can't see your messages and vise versa!

[rocky mason]

True, since you can just head for the sound. They probably have patched clients that show the direction =[

[heady nova]

This game feels like a battlefield now

[heady lance]

When you finish ||the earth bundles|| you'll get a ||galdur statue taht gives you one tree seed a day, and it has a small chance of being a flow tree seed||

[half lily]

does anyone know how to make chapaa chops?

[heady nova]

OH Speaking of, does anyone know where to find the soup recipe for that quest cause I don't have it

[tawdry smelt]

Right? I personally don't like competitive games and it feels like this is turning into one

[heady nova]

Yes exactly, I just want this to be the chill cozy game it was before

[spark wharf]

what robot thing?

[heady nova]

Uhoh

[honest wind]

https://palia.info/secretsouprecipe

[floral harness]

Bots react to the flow trees ID and pinpoints it as soon as its up. Which is why it can be difficult finding single flow trees sometimes too

[sly dirge]

finish the temple of roots

[glacial pulsar]

think its from the roots temple?

[heady nova]

Yes do that

Can someone help me, I just need to make sum soup for a quest

[spark wharf]

thank you.. Im not close to that point yet but its good to know for later down the road.. Appreciate it

[glacial pulsar]

what soup?

[heady nova]

Cream of mushroom

I don't have the recipe for it

[half lily]

I have chapaa meat but is there a recipe for chapaa chops?

[hushed patrol]

You get the recipe from a quest

[iron peak]

Cream of Mushroom... Is in one of the NPCs' houses, isn't it..?

[spark wharf]

I think its the family farm kitchen but I could be wrong

[hushed patrol]

Level 4 friendship Jina quest

[half lily]

which one the mushroom or the chops?

[hushed patrol]

You have to level up with her first then Hekla will give you a quest.

[glacial pulsar]

@heady nova add me Bexxo Mills and you can come to my plot and ill cook it

[hushed patrol]

There's no chapaa chop recipe.

[heady nova]

Yay thank you

[iron peak]

Oh, then maybe the one in Jina's tent was another mushroom recipe(could've sworn she had one. 🙈).

[half lily]

odd do i just cook chapaa then?

[sly dirge]

Not sure if right or wrong but many have said ever since switch came onboard the game went backwards in a fast way?

[hushed patrol]

There is steak dinner and other recipes that will take chapaa meat.

[hushed patrol]

I'd say with Steam release things fell apart.

Mushroom soup recipe is from Hekla's tent. Cream of mushroom from quest.

Bacon stuffed mushroom recipe available at the farm.

[sly dirge]

Was long before Steam

[half lily]

odd ok maybe i should try cooking the meat then cause i got asked for chops as a want

[hushed patrol]

You can grill them at a campfire.

Good morning

[warm karma]

I had AI make a rap song about Palia and its not bad

[heady nova]

I added u

[sly dirge]

2 hours till Sunday

[glacial pulsar]

come to my plot, that way youll get the soup as well

[rocky mason]

Sometimes the dialogue is just plain wrong. Kenli sometimes has a weekly want that he says is for an azure chapaa tail, but if you look in the Likes tab it's a spotted or striped one instead o.O

[sly dirge]

a couple of NPC's don't show all

[rocky mason]

No, but you see the asks that they've told you

[sly dirge]

If you look on wiki yes otherwise no

[rocky mason]

No, when you ask them what they want, and they tell you, that weekly want then shows up in the Likes tab - in-game

[spark wharf]

Delaila has been ticking me off lately coz after 2 likes she wont give me anymore. And Badruu might ask for something for her once but then doesn't. seems like the past two weeks she's stopped after asking for 2 things. She's consistently a hold out on me.

[sly dirge]

lol not always

[rocky mason]

Yes, always. When they tell you what one of their wants is, that want shows up in their Likes tab

You might be thinking I'm saying "all their likes always show up" but that's not what I said

[hearty sleet]

The wiki shows all four levels. Aren’t you only supposed to give the one that shows up?

[sly dirge]

whatever been playing since day dot and has happened a few times

[hearty sleet]

Because I tried once giving reth what the wiki said, and he was like “hmm, maybe something else?” Like wooooww no love lol 😂

[sly dirge]

lol

[rocky mason]

Was that on a Monday? The wiki doesn't always update right away

[sly dirge]

Even now

[hearty sleet]

Oh no it was like mid week. I don’t always get to them on Mondays 😅 I’m very forgetful

[rocky mason]

O o f

[sly dirge]

Delaila is the worst followed buy Ash and Jina

followed by Hassian

[hearty sleet]

Oh gawwwd Delaila is the LAST one I need. I always forget about her 😂😂

[leaden aurora]

I just forget to gift them stuff in general lol

[hushed patrol]

Finally submitted feedback about the dirt around trees.

[floral harness]

yeah the dirt patches around the trees are morbid 💀

[sly dirge]

I'm maxed on all and still can't Del's last 2 wants

Though I never give them anyway

[hushed patrol]

Also submitted some feedback about bushes since I was hoping we'd be able to plant them.

My plot has seriously been downsized which is odd considering I could add more rooms onto my house.

[sly dirge]

rocks would be nice also

[hushed patrol]

Went from three harvest houses on my plot with plenty of outdoor decor to just a single house.

I'd plant trees but I would still like to be able to see the grass on my plot.

[vocal drift]

hello, I don't know if this is what I should ask about but how do we link our twitch account on palia?

[rancid basalt]

i can make only 1 character in game? cant make additional oone?

[hushed patrol]

Morning. Hope y'all have a great day.

[floral harness]

what would you do with a second one? and no, you gotta make another account then

[sly dirge]

one character per account

[pulsar owl]

did pal get nerfed? all the usual spots i farmed it don't spawn there anymore (i sat in one spot for an hour and nothing spawned) LMAO

[hushed patrol]

Log in on palia.com and go to account connections to link it.

[floral harness]

They spawn randomly around on the map like Iron and stone

[sly dirge]

@pulsar owl Best you check the updates

[hushed patrol]

You have to move around a lot it'll spawn anywhere regular nodes do.

[sly dirge]

I like the change

[floral harness]

its way better now than what it was back in august

[sly dirge]

Stops the camping

[floral harness]

I get 120-200 palium an hour with ore compass, rather than competing against others for the fixed spawn locations that it used to have

[sly dirge]

Yup about 300 pal for me

[pulsar owl]

oo i see !! i haven't played in a few months so i was rly confused not seeing any in the usual spots

[rancid basalt]

anyone can explain what i encountered few times, i was running arounnnd farming nodes in kilima and suddwenly all of them started blinking and right after i come to them they dossapeared not alowing me for even single hit

[hushed patrol]

I have over 1k flow wood and not much to do with it.

[floral harness]

you skipping the large iron nodes then?

[vocal drift]

Thanks !

[hushed patrol]

Nodes will stay for about 3 minutes after mined so someone mined it before.

They start to blink when they're about to disappear.

[pulsar owl]

follow up rq but is there a starstone that drops from pal? i wanna start collecting hq versions and ive only gotten the ones from iron and regular stone ;o;/

[hushed patrol]

Ruby and amethyst

[sly dirge]

Nah @floral harness taking my time have many rubys atm

[floral harness]

how tf you getting 300 pal an hour with ore compass 💀 nobody else mining? I managed to squeeze out 220 by being lucky with the spawns

[floral harness]

Wait you got Starred Sapphire already? 😭

[sly dirge]

5 complete sets of starred gems

[floral harness]

Im at 15900 Iron Ores, 25 normal sapphires but no starred one

[sly dirge]

I dont use compass

[pulsar owl]

i was mindlessly mining waiting to fall asleep and got like 1 or 2 aslkdjkla

[sly dirge]

I just keep running and mining North n South

[floral harness]

yeah same, but 300 an hour without compass, when compass shows you the locations is kinda doubtful imo

when running north and south with the compass showing the exact locations

[hushed patrol]

Yeah there's no way you can get that many within an hour.

[sly dirge]

Thing is it also shows Iron that slows you down

[storm trench]

I've done it, I've reached the maximum number of flowers allowed on my plot My garden is awesome, but I need to redo some things now that I know the max

[spark wharf]

I locked my plot so no one would come in coz Im sooooo embarrassed by the way those dirt mounds make my plot look. Its so ugly now. If they fix it Ill reopen my plot

[floral harness]

having fixed locations is still faster than running and searching

[sly dirge]

Yes and no

[hushed patrol]

I'm removing all the trees as we speak.

[rose folio]

ill just say it. the plushie drop rate is ridiculous!

[hushed patrol]

Now my plot is mostly flat which sucks.

[sly dirge]

Way I do it works for me

[spark wharf]

how are you finding the harder ones so easoly? I am missing 4 starred gems to complete a set.

[fresh whale]

Yes but let’s be real it was a mistake for its release so it might have been a place holder

[hushed patrol]

Starred emerald took me 1.5 months to get.

[sly dirge]

@spark wharf Just keep trying

[spark wharf]

I chopped all my trees down and planted about 100 pine trees on my plot. Now my plot is full of dirt mounds and Im hating the thought I might have to chope them all down too

[sly dirge]

They will drop

[hushed patrol]

I ditched my very first account after realizing how bad my plot looked after chopping down almost everything. And now it's the same thing all over again lol.

[spark wharf]

😦

[pearl hollow]

I have to be one of the only people that the dirt mounds don't bother lol

[tawdry smelt]

I just put flowers around the mounds

[plucky mulch]

it doesn't bother me either link 💀 i live somewhere where there's lots of tree-planting activity

[spark wharf]

Ive tried to be okay with them. Its just not working for me hahahah

[sly dirge]

It don't bother me but does look out of place

[pearl hollow]

This

[plucky mulch]

i know they got a very STRONG immediate feedback related to the mounds when they first happened, bc i remember ashe or mel putting an announcement abt the devs knowing abt it like . . day-of

[tawdry smelt]

#💬│off-topic-chat posted a pic of one of the trees

[plucky mulch]

so hopefully they will un-mound sooner rather than later

[floral harness]

I mean tbf, who thought it would be a good idea and that it would look good lmao

[sly dirge]

lool

[hushed patrol]

And it was never something that people asked for

[floral harness]

80% of the flower "budget" goes into trying to hide it

[plucky mulch]

i imagine it wasn't for aesthetic purposes, more like, "how do we help players see which trees they've planted vs ones they haven't?" type deal

[spark wharf]

Quick question.. So I need a bluebristle mane to complete Subiras pin BUT they are sooooo hard to find and catch. Is it better to do a party where one chops a tree and the other shoots the bluebristle? Or is it better to just run across them naturally? Im struggling with this one.

[hollow sonnet]

party imo

or find one at a grove for a quick party

[oak sage]

Hello, i need help

[sly dirge]

Party's the best option

[oak sage]

i'm stuck on the oven 🥲 i can't move

[floral harness]

do /unstuck

[plucky mulch]

type /unstuck into the chat

[hushed patrol]

Even then we have the water meters that show how much they've been watered they should have just left it at that.

[sly dirge]

/unstuck in chat

[oak sage]

it didn't work

[floral harness]

then you have to restart the game sadly

[hushed patrol]

If you can't use unstuck and someone else is cooking with you once the recipe is finished it might let you move again.

[plucky mulch]

yea, but then you'd have to go to Every Tree on the plot to see which ones you planted or didn't - so i imagine it was to try and make it obvious from a distance

[oak sage]

it's the second on 10 minutes bruh

[floral harness]

wont that also use up the ingredients for the failed dish? if restarting the game, going back inside, the dish is ruined but no mats are used

[hushed patrol]

I don't think people would try to water ever single tree lol probably just decide where they want trees and water that area.

[sly dirge]

🙄

[oak sage]

it use mine

[plucky mulch]

my point isn't that ppl would Try to water every single tree, my point is that not everyone would think to plant their to-grow trees in the same area innit

[hushed patrol]

It's possible for someone to finish a recipe while someone else is stuck but I don't know if that's the case here.

[oak sage]

it's crazy how the game have a lot of bug

[hushed patrol]

I mean I think they just plant them where they want them so they'd know which ones they'd need to water.

[floral harness]

alt+F4 and log back in, your ingredients should be back in your inventory/storage

[spark wharf]

the games still in beta so lots of bugs theyre still working out

[oak sage]

i already do that and the ingredient where consume

[plucky mulch]

even w/ the mounds i have to check the bottom of the tree to remember which ones i planted and which ones i didn't - these r the things devs have to take into consideration

[hushed patrol]

Each patch gives us new things but takes away from what we already had.

[floral harness]

thats odd, never had mine be used up when I restarted the game

[hushed patrol]

Either way I think most people don't want the mounds.

[plucky mulch]

correct!

[floral harness]

watch them double down and add mounds to the trees in the wild too

[hushed patrol]

I'm trying to figure out the sinking glitch so I can sink the trees but the video I watched did not inform on how to do it. Just assumed viewer already knew how.

[plucky mulch]

i think this is a vry extreme position to take!!

[hushed patrol]

I've accepted it lol just going to enjoy while it lasts.

[plucky mulch]

there are tech layoffs across the board, especially in gamedev rn! that's not to say it isn't genuinely awful and probably VRY shocking for the ppl working at s6, but i don't think that the layoffs mean the game is gonna be gone soon

put it into the context of what's happening across game dev/tech atm en masse tho - there are layoffs happening like Everywhere

[hushed patrol]

If there was a game that was like Palia and Ni No Kuni I would pay so fast

[last sparrow]

I'm still thinking the goal isn't to completly downsize but get people to replace them payed for less

[hushed patrol]

Outsourcing?

[last sparrow]

Yes

[hushed patrol]

That's what happened at one place I worked at before the pandora.

I was already job hunting because you got the sense that we were going to lose the client.

[spark wharf]

Didnt the message say something about the ones who were laid off getting to keep their developmental tools? Maybe the plan is to later rehire them? Just spittballin here

[ocean roost]

Came to say good morning but I see the same conversation is still going from before I went to bed last night.

[plucky mulch]

it wasn't until abt 5 mins ago tbh bird!! dw

[last sparrow]

More like it comes and goes

[plucky mulch]

i would truly welcome a change in topic

[sly dirge]

Guess the top end was top heavy

[hushed patrol]

Maybe I'll plant flowers based on where I want to plant trees in the future.

And just leave them as seedlings

[plucky mulch]

what do u mean clarify?

[ocean roost]

I am out hunting brightshrooms for the constellation

[last sparrow]

My thought is a lot of big content is probably finished or near finished already so they wouldn't have to worry as much in the mean time but I bet it'll be buggy

[hushed patrol]

Considering just playing on a new account yet again so I can have a full plot with trees.

[spark wharf]

Im going fishing today... I got about 14000 epic fish I gotta catch for those bundles hahahahaha 14 THOUSANDDDDDD

[plucky mulch]

this is also My suspicion

[undone lotus]

[hushed patrol]

Now that I've caught every bug and fish I can focus on decorating my plot.

[last sparrow]

Yet despite everything I'm still looking forward to what I know is comimg soon

[ocean roost]

I got the caught every bug achievement yesterday. No where near every fish yet 😂

[hushed patrol]

The bugs took me way longer.

The starred ones anyway. Raspberry beetle was last.

[sly dirge]

Fish for me

[floral harness]

gonna be my last one too lmao

[ocean roost]

The void ray…. So elusive for me

[hushed patrol]

I figured the beetle spawns only once ever 4 hrs or so. So when I had one spawn after just 2 hrs I knew it was starred.

[sly dirge]

I still need 3 starred fish

[spark wharf]

you know I tried once using it but all the other fish that stole my bait used it up so I didnt after that

If you don't reel in fish it'll save your bait.

[sly dirge]

One thing I still have to catch is a makeshift chopping board. The only item I'm missing from the set.

Einar also sells some hooks.
