[serene shore]

OMG they are blue i didnt even notice

[thorn sable]

i just have my one flow tree that i noticed

[signal thunder]

wait what trees? the juniper ones?

[vital rapids]

wait, thats actually a feature not just a bug that resets once u leave plots?

[feral cape]

I don't know, that's why I'm asking xd

[thorn sable]

still here

[signal thunder]

i want my birch trees to change to that!!!

[serene shore]

oooo so wait... what seeds do they need to be? ones we chop down in kilima currently or just any seed we already have?

[signal thunder]

i just have the normal juniper ones lol

[thorn sable]

well this was a flow seed from my statue i haven't planted anything else

[serene shore]

hmmm about to go tree chopping to find out lol

[thorn sable]

if this little tree is a miracle maybe i won't chop it...

[feral cape]

I chopped for 10 acorns and planted old 20 samaras, none went wild, keep it!

[signal thunder]

im about to plant my flow juniper see what happens lol but that was from a flow samara

you can get the flow smara from your little tree gardener

[vital rapids]

hmm.. maybe a bug with the flow one? just planted em' we will see xd

[signal thunder]

imma ask chtgpt haha

[peak holly]

has anyone bought harvest homestead and can testify that it doesnt have awful lighting?

[merry topaz]

is it possible to attach the courtyard to the new house?

[signal thunder]

no nothing from the old houseline can attache to the new one

so with that tree its from the flow samara. you can get them rarely from chopping flow trees or from just chopping the birch trees. or u can get them from your little gardener

[serene shore]

well dang... it would be nice if thats what the trees dropped in the valley.. like whatever the tree looks like, thats what we got

[woven pollen]

Gonna try to see if I can get an autumn tree and how it interacts with being picked up

[quaint field]

ooo interesting, i would love to have the autumn trees ill have to plant some

[signal thunder]

good luck its very rare lol

[woven pollen]

If we can "reroll" their colour by picking them up and placing them back down that would be rad

[tacit musk]

has anyone build with the new alchemy housing set and encountered that you can´t place the stairs (even though theres nothing in the way)?

[serene shore]

from the new year stuff right?

[wooden dock]

What I got so far, this is just a test to see the limitations, but I think I have all the rooms I would like to have. Bedroom, bathroom, living room, kitchen and an office. Still upset we didn't get any fences for the balcony, or that they didn't make the fences placable without glitches. Also wish we got actual see-through windows, but eh, this is still cute

[tacit musk]

is the cutting tool window trick still working? looks amazing

[wooden dock]

It does ^^ They were done with that trick! Only thing I found out didnt work was flicking fences onto the balcony or indoors

They will vanish once you leave the plot and appear out of bounds

[indigo marsh]

Hey there, I’m not up to date - did they remove the ability to place something on the dessert bowl? Like for laying books down?

[dry sapphire]

I know you can use the grass hedges (maybe, I saw it in the video)

[signal thunder]

Yes it’s bugged right now

[wooden dock]

But the umbraan fences and the new ranching ones work with floating them on a red present

[wooden dock]

gonna test right now!

[indigo marsh]

Like it will come back? Or are we not able to lay books down anymore? 🥲

[tacit musk]

i cant figure it out anymore sadly- worked before but doesnt now for me- but thank you for the heads up :))

[wooden dock]

you can, but frankly i dont find them to be all that good looking

[signal thunder]

It’ll come back a lot of things are bugged right now. Another one being you can’t place curtains except bellflower

[dry sapphire]

Honestly, same. I don’t even think I bought them

[indigo marsh]

Oh really? Tbh I didn‘t notice because I only placed bellflower today 😂

[signal thunder]

I wish I knew how to do this cause this build has inspired me to actually want the cottages as a house!!

[signal thunder]

Yup so don’t take down any non bellflower curtains or you can’t put them back

[thorn mauve]

I might just being dumb but how is everyne getting the cottage wndows?

[subtle elk]

Okay just got the first alchemist cottage for myself... it really is SO CUTE and I noted how all of the components were put into inventory separate from the house. So more customization options...

[wooden dock]

I wasn't entirely sold on the cottage at first, but after testing and playing with it, I think I might like it, Just wish we also had straight stairs indoors!

[signal thunder]

They come with the an and b house. If you left your plot while they were building you’ll need to submit a ticket

[indigo marsh]

I was just confused because I wanted to lay down some books with the bowl and it didn’t work so I was a little scared 🥲😂

[halcyon sun]

hey, someone suggested I ask u housing wizards over here ❤️ I'm somehow unable to stack the alchemist housing parts. All I find online is "you need a second player", but that sounds a bit odd. It was suggested, if someone already fiugerd it out, then you lot over here

[subtle elk]

In order to replace the Harvest stuff in my present build I wanna finish, I'll need something bigger than the Cottage A unit on its own to replace the Grand Harvest House that serves as the main house/entryway

[wooden dock]

yeah i noticed that now too, i tried, didnt work 🙁

[feral cape]

I love that I get to play with the parts of it but it is mostly limited to red present or very specific flicking x.x

[subtle elk]

I don't actually know but it sounds like the overlapping trick where you have two players place somethign at the same time?

[thorn mauve]

ahhh, that's why. The "A and B turning in to base" bug...

[signal thunder]

Have you tried stacking on top of the base house, tried stacking b on top of a, removing the roof so it’s flat?

[feral cape]

They should easily snap on top of each other, try picking up add-ons and turning roof into flat maybe

[thorn mauve]

also, has anyone figured out how to get the spring lights to place on non-grass (aka the terrace they showed in the vid)?

[signal thunder]

When everything is removed they turn to base cottages anyway you just need to put everything back on to turn them back into what they were lol but if you left the plot while they were building they got lost and you’ll have to submit a ticket

[signal thunder]

Flicking method

[wooden dock]

YES! ❤️ it works well!

[halcyon sun]

that was suggested, but the new ones should as i understood, stack by themselves? I tried to remove everything

(somtetimes it wont work properly)

[signal thunder]

I would love to see your set up when you are ready for visitors I absolutely love your lay out

[subtle elk]

Yeah that's what I thought too

[keen bloom]

yall. Why this keep happenin?? It happens every so often, this chest just randomly appears near my gate and I donny even know where it be comin from

[feral cape]

If u are on pc it's easier and u can flick them (best on a desert plate xd) or float on top of terrace from yard set

[wooden dock]

Sure! Just add me ^^

[subtle elk]

In any case, clearly I need to go farm oodles of money so I can invest heavily into cottage stuff

[keen bloom]

Oh just found it. It comes from the custom attic from the big harvest house?? Why does it do that?

[feral cape]

Is it placed on a building blocks piece on top of a floor of any building?

[keen bloom]

Yeah custom attic in the big harvest house

[thorn mauve]

Yeah II'm on pc. Interestng. I could never get it to work but I'll try agaiin.

[wooden dock]

yeah then it will go back outside

[keen bloom]

But why off the original lot? XD Its so strange!

[feral cape]

Yeah, it's a bug as old as building blocks x.x all funky things like stations, chests ovens etc has to be anchored to ground somehow to stay on blocks

[keen bloom]

Fair enough! I won't put it up there then XD I anyways only had it up there to get it out my way. I shall find a new spot for it! Thanks for the answers :P

[thorn mauve]

Huh? I don't see how to re-add the windows when iit's the base object

[feral cape]

It always have been tho

[last portal]

idk if its the case for that chest, but when i try to place any crafting stations on floor tiles that are not directly on the ground, they'll teleport like that

[signal thunder]

They will be in your inventory but if you left the plot while they were being built you need to submit a ticket it’s a bug that if you left you lose the add ons

[feral cape]

What was that command for bugs from update, bot where are u

[signal thunder]

Do you buy all three?

[thorn mauve]

Yeah, bought one of each to test

I think I did leave my plot while being built. Sigh. Lol.

[woven pollen]

Let's just redirect them to #🌟│sixer-tracker

[sharp talon]

so where's the roof and chimney and other alchemist house things? i bought the 3 house options, now what?

[woven pollen]

it comes with the house

[sharp talon]

how? i bought and built the houses, they all look identical, and i don't see the things

[topaz ingot]

Did you leave your plot as they were building?

[woven pollen]

did you leave your plot while building them?

[sharp talon]

yes

[topaz ingot]

That’s why. It’s a bug

[sharp talon]

interesting

[woven pollen]

[craggy apex]

why can i only paint my lamp? what about other items?

[woven pollen]

Do you have more decor items in your inventory/chests?

[west dagger]

Hii SO IN THE NEW HOUSE BUILDINGS
How in the world do i fill in thw space to make flooring for 2nd floor if the builders flooring doesn't line up ?!?!!?

[thorn sable]

so i took this photo to show how my magical tree was safe..

then it grew

[craggy apex]

i have this

[feral cape]

Tragedy in two screenshots

[woven pollen]

that one can't be modified

[craggy apex]

how do I see which one can be?

[thorn sable]

this maybe confirms my memory cause i could have sworn it was green at the first stage

[feral cape]

But it does confirm also that we are not meant to have those ;_;

Khy khy I know u are listening devs khy khy

[west dagger]

SO for these new house buildlings
I added a 2nd level w stairs i bought right.
How in the world do i fill in thw space to make flooring for 2nd floor if the builders flooring doesn't line up ?!?!!?

[woven pollen]

As far as I know, decor items you can craft are generaly modifiable. If I'm not sure I use the wiki

[feral cape]

Not all sets but most of them, camping tho is one of few that we can't tint

[hearty wyvern]

Are there not rooms that can be added on to the alchemist houses?

[woven pollen]

Alchemist houses only connect to other alchemist houses

[hearty wyvern]

Can I change the walls so there isn't a door on every building?

[woven pollen]

go into the H menu and click the building (sorry I don't know console)

[warm herald]

anyone know if we're able to buy like more windows?? for the alchemist house

[woven pollen]

It's the same as normal houses

[frank falcon]

for now only by buying prefabs A and B

we will get recipes for most items in the future once they develop the system more

[hearty wyvern]

Ah okay. Thank you!

[stiff vector]

is anyone else having trouble moving the stables board i literally cannot pick it up when decoratingg

[warm herald]

ok good because i didnt get any windows / etc wwhen i bought A, only b

[woven pollen]

it's a known bug

[thorn sable]

been here trying to make gold to buy one more cottage all while hoarding 70 gold bars apparently

[heavy lake]

is it just the most worth it to buy a bunch of cottage b's?

[winter forge]

The patch notes said to buy more bases

[frank falcon]

yeah there are a few bugs with the alchemist cottage stuff

addons disappearing randomly and the most common one:
addons disappearing when players leave their plot while its built

[candid fox]

Heya!! I was wondering if anyone knows a way to place rocks like that to make it look like the "river" table is covered in the edges? I am trying to make a fake river going through my house plot!

[heavy lake]

haha I know I was unfortunately one of them! But cottage be seems to have the most windows and chimney etc right?

[burnt stratus]

hey guys, so i bought the cottage prefabs a and b, but how do i access all the add ons? ive looked in every tab and cant find any trim, windows, chimney, etc. is this a bug?

[frank falcon]

depending on what u want A and B are both worth it yeah
while base room is uhm... just a base room, depends on what u need/want for now

we will get recipes for most items in the future anyways

[woven pollen]

it appears on the house

[inner cobalt]

I'd say yes, if only for the need of my brain to avoid injuries by falling How to make them look good is a different thing, I've got these but may not be your style #🏡│decor message

[subtle elk]

We need a pinned post or something informing people that cottage addons disappear if you leave plot during construction lol

[warm herald]

yeah i bought a and the base, and my a turned into a base

[low quiver]

How did you get the bay windows on there?

[burnt stratus]

oh are they gone indefinitely until they fix, or is there somewhere to find them to re-add them on

[rain sandal]

can you share what convo you get to get the shiny pepple? im scareed i might skip it again

[woven pollen]

The bot was working and sending that info automatically but it's not working rn and I want it back

[warm herald]

ahhh this is probably what happened to me

im gonna report it as a bug and hope they will give me my A cottage back lol

[dry sapphire]

Wait STEALING! I absolutely love this design!

[thorn mauve]

It's probably better they just add the addons to the EDIT STRUCTURE mode ...

[wooden dock]

Glitching, followed a tutorial on how to do the windows in general and then i just lined the room up as flush as i could 🙂

unless they intended for us to be able to move them around on the wall....

[inner cobalt]

You can't place fences at an angle but, you can move them if you place a spring fever edging close and group select from it, then you can move them together and angle them. Even place them in surfaces other than the ground

[wooden dock]

FlamingJune: The cuttin tool, placing structures across plots

[woven pollen]

I wanted to lurk and see all the cute builds but here I am acting like mediocre tech support TwT

[subtle elk]

SO GOOD TO KNOW TY

[candid fox]

Up, in case anyone can help since I'm no good at decor stuff!

[subtle elk]

Added a note about that to my build ideas doc so I don't forget!!! Greatly excited to do angled fences. If they're group selecting off of the SF edging, then that means that we can put it on terrain pieces... Which means I can rotate around X and Z after and do really fun stuff >:)

Or so I assume/hope

Probably will put an angled terrain/fence bit on my cliff for a steep path that looks deteriorated...

[zenith spruce]

Is there a way to glitch beds close together

[feral cape]

Ngl was gonna say u deserve at least a bunch of pods in mail xd

[woven pollen]

nah I'm just fishing for the bundles, a bit sad the bot isn't working tho

[feral cape]

Test them before crafting and placing more tho, they differ in behavior like crazy x.x

Some won't follow the new anchor after placing and will stay floating like stupid :v

[sharp pulsar]

Put a bowl on top of one of the beds, then group select the bowl and move it near the other bed to collide them

[subtle elk]

Interesting! Definitely something I woulda naturally done but now I am curious/eager lol

I gotta finish testing decor items placing directly on angled surfaces so I can release the doc about them and move on with my building projects lmfao

[feral cape]

Ooooh if u want a group of items to mess with the rugs, those are wild xd

[feral cape]

Some have collision, some don't, some are invisible from below, some are not, giant board rug is invisible from one side and has collision so fun to make invisible barriers for visitors...

[subtle elk]

WHAT

[feral cape]

Makeshift with no collision makes a great cover up for a hole in a ground to fall into...

Never the set more solid the rug btw xd spa one can be for some reason put on top of things, cosy camping ones are thicker than others...

[subtle elk]

Never the set more solid the rug?

[feral cape]

Yeah, in date of release, no idea why tho xd

[subtle elk]

I... I can't parse those words in that order

Never the set... more solid the rug?
Never the set more... solid the rug?

I am so confused lol

[feral cape]

Newer as newest, gosh, autocorrect

[subtle elk]

Oh, the newer the set of furniture is, the more solid the rug in terms of its properties

GOTCHA LMAO sorry I am tired and language is hard

[subtle elk]

So question, the giant board rug is transparent with collision from one side; does it have collision on its other side?

For that matter, do any of the rugs have one-way-only collision?

I absolutely am planning on putting an invisible wall with that rug using other decor around it (moon-whatever table lamps sticking out of the ground/walls/ceiling around the opening?) to make it look like a magic force field lol

[tough tide]

Yall I wanna use the new houses but 1, theyre all one size. 2, you cant add bay windows or fireplaces and 3, Id have to reglitch all of my furnishings in place 😭

[subtle elk]

I should make a comprehensive spreadsheet containing details about every object and its rules...

Someone added bay windows using tricks earlier

[feral cape]

Its always one type, has same properties as a whole, only it's visibility changes side

[feral cape]

Many of those are made, I can DM u links if u want

[subtle elk]

By that I am getting that each rug is either collision or no collision on both sides, gotcha

[sharp pulsar]

Is object sinking broken now too?

its beena while since i've done it, so maybe i'm remembering it wrong lol

[subtle elk]

Now that I had the curiosity about it I REALLY am hoping there is SOME decor or something we can use to achieve one-way collision.

[sharp pulsar]

They have a lot to improve in my opinion. The fact that the roof color or window color can't be changed is a no go for me, for now.

It's the first run for the new houses though, so i kinda expected it to be meh. I'm sure they will make it a lot better in next updates

[subtle elk]

TFW you were gonna farm for monies but instead you dig around the piggy bank cause you're so antsy to get the new building options

[feral cape]

Okay, very very around it but u can go through solid objects with two chairs or cooking station on the other side, no way back xd

[subtle elk]

Oh?? That sounds like exactly what I wanted :o

you got a reference image or video for that?

[feral cape]

I also once made a low passage that u can only go through after interacting with a flipped on a side cooking station xd it flips your character on side fully and u walk on your side xddd needs a normal placed station to flip back

[subtle elk]

Lmao

[signal thunder]

That and you can’t see out of the windows

[feral cape]

I'm stuck at work for next few hours x.x

[subtle elk]

Super fair, just answer me this: does it require the player to interact with the cooking station/chairs to pass through? If so probs not quite what I'm looking for

That sounded demanding, oops sorry lol. Just a realization I had after you mentioned your other trick you did.

[feral cape]

Yes but u enter and exit the station (works in person) and sitting one is more demanding but works on board visits too

With chairs u look for sit prompt and after hitting to stand up u smash sitting again on 2nd chair next so it won't pull u all the way back

[subtle elk]

I see

I will note it in case I find an application for it but defs too far from what I am wanting rn

Dang I was hoping the ivy on the cottage could be manipulated in a fun way but it snapped back on plot reload

[flint escarp]

Do you know cancel placement? (I'm guessing you do since you have your tables sunk.) Cancel place your river out of the way and place your rocks where you want them. Then reload your plot (by switching plots and coming back or by leaving to kilima and coming back). The river will go back to where it was and the rocks will be there on the edges where you put them.

[subtle elk]

Maybe you can trick the ivy into facing into the interior at least somewhat if its snap back destination is close enough to the house?... probably not

[full harness]

sooooo How do we as players get fall coloured trees? :]

[candid fox]

Oh huh, I don't, actually! I'm horrible at glitches, will check this out tomorrow when I get home from work! Do you have any YT videos for this glitch? :o

Tysm btw!!!

[feral cape]

From where?

And what method of placing xd

[flint escarp]

Are you on PC?

[subtle elk]

I put ivy on the outer wall, picked it back up, moved it to an open place on the ground (valid placement location) and pressed a hotkey to grab a window, doing the cancel thing to put it on the ground.

Looked interesting at first as it was anchored to the cottage from afar, but upon reload of plot it simply snapped back to where it was originally on the cottage

So nothing exciting. And yes I am on PC

[candid fox]

Yes!

[feral cape]

That's how cancellation works tho, all things canceled are temporary for your local client only

[subtle elk]

Yeah but I had also moved the cottage and the ivy snapped back to the wall in a diff spot, not the orig-orig spot, apologies for lack of clarity

[feral cape]

And update to server state when anchor is moved or plot reload

Lol probably bc they are lil broken xd

[subtle elk]

but that is why I was wondering if you could use it to snap differently around the cottage itself if the movement of the cottage being just-so in any way allowed the ivy to "snap back" to it in its orig-orig spot because it was still somewhat valid

Who knows, might test it to find out

[feral cape]

Flat ivy I was able to anchor with flicking, angled one I had to put on red present (that comes soon on Christmas at least)

But those two are different with behaviour, that's sth u might use

[subtle elk]

Ahh yeah I didn't finish that video n learn about flicking yet

Assuming it's in the video. Guess I'll need to make sure I figure out what flicking is

[feral cape]

Wait

#🏡│decor message flicking 101 starter pack

I mostly use a pillar as my random item to get in the way of other stuff

[subtle elk]

I don't totally understand the instructions... primarily confused as to the point of the "V for confirm move" hotkey when the buttons involved in the actual act as described are left mouse click and new object hotkey

[feral cape]

Not at all but for many was crucial for it to work xd

[subtle elk]

Does having that extra hotkey set up cause the left mouse click one to behave differently?

Or is it implied that you can use that hotkey instead of mouse click for the same action

[flint escarp]

I'm sure there are videos (search specifically for cancel placement), but I'll try to explain. Basically, you are moving something out of the way without the game actually realizing you moved it. You have to have an item in your hotbar that is placeable (decor, plants, starred food, it can be anything). Once you have a piece of decor (for instance one of your blue river tables) on your plot where you want it to finally be, you then pick it up to move it BUT DON'T PLACE IT. It needs to be lit up yellow green like it can be placed, but then instead of placing, you hit the number key for a placeable item in your hot bar. Your decor piece (the blue table) will place down where you were moving it to, and the item from your hotbar will now be picked up. (You won't be able to place that hotbar item now, just hit escape.) Now your decor piece (the blue table) is moved out of the way, BUT the game doesn't actually think that it's moved. When you leave your plot, or switch to a different plot and come back, the decor piece (the blue table) will move back to where it was originally, even if you've placed a bunch of other things there in the meantime. You can get all kinds of things to merge this way, like your rocks into the edges of your tables.

[feral cape]

Well, it somehow influences the ability to flick even tho u never use it

[subtle elk]

I see, thank you for clarifying

[sharp pulsar]

The new ferns in the new pots are so cuuuuute

[subtle elk]

That IS mighty strange behavior lmao

[feral cape]

Flicking is the least predictable and least sure method but if it works it allows for fast placement or placement on not otherwise possible surface (ground only items on floors or furniture for example)

[candid fox]

Omg, tysm!!! I definitely understand it too, it helps a lot!! 😭😭💓💓

[flint escarp]

Come show us your river when you have it figured out! And you can always ask more questions, too. 🙂

[feral cape]

And as far as I can explain all other glitches how and why they work...flicking is not that easy, probably some delay it utilizes and might be easier to achieve on worse hardware xd and it's also pc only so not the best

[candid fox]

Will def try it when I can and see if it looks good!!

[glass token]

Hey all, new to discord (ish) and Palia (def). Is this a good place to pop ideas for wishlist items for the devs to hopefully see? I have a running list in my mind of small things that I think would be lovely to have as small decor items. Like more pendant light options, stemmed wine glasses, etc. If this isn't the place, I'll skedaddle ❤️

[feral cape]

Best spot is feedback for all those for sure to make them see!

I'm still amused by the fact that I tried for months to flick wallpaper onto a floor and decided that flicking just doesn't work on a Mac. And then once I tried something other than wallpaper, it was so easy. I've never tried it on a PC, but from watching videos, it seems very finicky. But on my Mac it's like the easiest glitch ever (other than that darn wallpaper)--there's no timing to master at all, it just works.

[subtle elk]

How does one get the door upstairs like this and the balcony? Is there a balcony you can buy I missed?

[subtle elk]

Gotta go to dedicated website you can find a link to in feedback-how-to channel and send it through there for direct feedback. I am building up a shortlist to send myself

[wooden dock]

door upstairs? It's just the doorway, there's no door door there 🙂

[subtle elk]

Oh interesting, there's a window on the wall behind it I see. So does it just do that if there's a house piece under it or ?

[flint escarp]

You can choose the walls of each alchemist room to be open, shut, or with a doorway.

[wooden dock]

need to find my pic again, just tore it down XD

[wooden dock]

its just a door, and i placed a window inside the house as decore, thats all 🙂

it looks like an optical illusion i guess XD

[subtle elk]

OH it's the 'H' '<wall type>' option

That's how you get that. Cool.

[wooden dock]

yeah ^^ can get open walls too

[subtle elk]

Oh I see!... Wow there are actually some cool options with these pieces

I am suddenly a bit surprised at how underwhelmed most posted reactions have been here

Then again I guess the folks into it and excited are probably VERY busy playing with everything they can do with this LOL

I see so many possibilities using these options with some extra stuff added

[peak scaffold]

anyone wish when trying to make an attic with new housing lines when you have multiple rooms joined together it was a big open area instead of only above one room

[feral cape]

https://discord.com/channels/809856101326913567/1326268508417429584 wrong spot

On trading channel u have bigger chances of successful trade too

[wanton river]

i cant post there for some reason

[subtle elk]

Look at the pinned posts I think you gotta react to one

Minor quirk with the cottage pieces!

Two placed adjacent (with no wall between them in what I did specifically here), place a stair such that the upper set of stairs goes into house A while the lower part goes in to house B. Now use H menu to remove House B entirely, prompting you about how all additions will be removed. Confirm. House A is left with no stairs in it but the hole for them remains

Gonna continue playing hehe see if I can do more with this or something else

[feral cape]

Check if it stays after leaving to kilima and back

[subtle elk]

Oh good call

[inner cobalt]

I'm bound to test this later , but is there a limit on the angle of the station to still flip you, i.e. can you go full upside down?
And if so, is gravity reversed or you just walk on your head?

[subtle elk]

Ahhhh it went away. Mind you I had made new adjustments before reloading but those probably weren't a factor

Bummer!

[hazy crescent]

can we get fall decor yet?

[subtle elk]

Hmmmm. Trying to decide if I wanna replace the harvest home stuff for this build with the cottage now... The overall shape of the house pieces currently being used (Harvest) make extensive use of hallways to create thin halls encircling the center open area for the manicured Garden...

[feral cape]

Yes, I have walked on my head before xf

[subtle elk]

The cottage stairs; no way to get a mirrored orientation for them I assume?

Ooooh

So two two-story pieces together both mid floors removed creates a loooof of open space

[shell saffron]

ohh I will have a look

These are not bad honestly. I mean I have a design that would fit well with my vinyard. I will just try it out! thankss

[inner cobalt]

If you mean the spooky moon, it's next patch, so October

[signal thunder]

they really got decorating all messed up i cant put a single thing in here lol

[inner cobalt]

Thanks, so gravity stays hmm... there goes my idea for the Upside down wait, I can have transparent floor

[hazy crescent]

[signal thunder]

i really hope they get this decorating glitch fixed cause i cant do anything with what i just built

[iron maple]

im actually getting somewhere with the garden now

[thorn sable]

don't know if it's been mentioned but be careful trying to put things at the top of the stairs because it will consume them

i've lost a bowl

[iron maple]

maybe it was hungry

dont forget to feed ur stairs!

[topaz ingot]

Sounds like the plot of a horror movie

[subtle elk]

Let's see... if I were to redo the original layout whatsoever, I could move the S fence/housing units further S now that I know I can access the area outside my plot to decorate...

....Which opens up tons of space in the rest of the plot, even if I keep using Harvest...

...and if I pick things up to redo it I can try cottage stuff and perhaps come up with a hybrid arrangement!

[iron maple]

what if palia is just one big horror movie? And we're all in it

[thorn sable]

found it

couldn't get a good angle inside the tiny room

[subtle elk]

Not looking forward to having to redo that interface between the upper left harvest socket and the deck that's not just building blocks but delicately arranged terrain pieces. Woof

[iron maple]

i like seeing what all of u are doing and then theres me

[woven pollen]

woof indeed

[woven pollen]

you're doing good 💖 (better than me at least)

[stray anchor]

the size comparison of my 10-room cottage and a standalone grand harvest house... didn't fully realize how big that thang is

[iron maple]

my plot feels so boring compared to everyone elses

[subtle elk]

I mean I am pretty pleased with my build ideas and early executions like this, but you do NOT wanna know how much time and effort I have invested learning this game's mechanics and farming up the money for these and putting them together LOLOL

[iron maple]

i love when it starts to get darker and i just see all the lights starting to light up. Its so cozy

[flint escarp]

Instead of the monster under the stairs, the stairs are the monster.

[subtle elk]

Sigh... feels like losing progress but I knowwwww how disappointed I felt when I first built the Grand Harvest House and how bad its second floor was. I should just pull the trigger and redo this stuff with all the fun tweaks I have in mind

[topaz ingot]

I finished the outside of my little alchemist cottage but I’ll have to show it later. I do wish they improve on it cuz I want fences in doors dang it

[iron maple]

i had to get the normal harvest house bcs the other one was too big and i just dont know how to decorate it. I wanted like rooms in the big room

[subtle elk]

Actually, I need to reconsider moving the fence and everything further S... I DO quite enjoy having that distance to create a wooded path to the "entrance to the property"...

[flint escarp]

I haven't seen this, and I'm just guessing, but did you edit both of those rooms from the top (in the H mode) to show the door? Perhaps that room that keeps showing a wall has the wall selected instead of the door on that side.

[deft hare]

I’m glad it’s just not me with this issue. I was coming in here to see if anyone else is having trouble decorating because it says not a valid location and I’m even in bounds.

[subtle elk]

Oh dip, came up with a couple crazy cool ideas to do isntead already. Welp here we go!

[vital rapids]

Sometimes u need to set the wall on both rooms individually

[signal thunder]

yup i cant place anything on anything

[subtle elk]

Goodbye little army of fishies

[thorn sable]

i have ideas

i wish i could remove the top ceiling so bad now

[peak scaffold]

glass floors would look good there wish we could make them

[flint escarp]

Maybe don't do that? Counterintuitive, I know. I currently have only base A and B connected. I have not had that problem with the door, but I don't think I ever changed the second one to be door, so I have a door next to a wall and yet it always shows the door, from either side. I'm not in game, so I'll have to check later.

It would be interesting to see if that works. Another idea (again, not anything I have tested), is that side of that room that doesn't show the door by any chance where the original main entry was to that room? Maybe that side acts differently?

[stray anchor]

Aw. I'm sad that some wallpapers that normally look good as flicked flooring don't tile properly on the cottage floors 😭 but some of them do give a blank checkerboard-esque material though which looks kinda interesting

[feral cape]

Wanted to send it faster but got work at work PFFF xf

[flint escarp]

This reminds me that I meant to tell you... When I was exploring your spirited away build, my 16-year-old was laughing hysterically that I could sit upside down in so many places where you used benches. It was unending entertainment for him! 🙂

[subtle elk]

I have a large room that refuses to be picked up. Anyone run in to this issue before?

Nope just clears and nothing changes

I mean I reloaded via moving plots but I'll try Killima

[flint escarp]

Did you remove everything yourself? Try just removing wallpaper, floors, etc.

I think someone had this problem and it was the floor, the roof, or the wallpaper.

[subtle elk]

I swapped wallpapers, I changed windows and entryway, put a new socket (hallways) on and removed, nothin

Reloading game now

[flint escarp]

Yeah, when in doubt, just reload. 😆

[subtle elk]

We love a good spaghetti (code)

Reloading fixed it phew

[flint escarp]

It does such weird things sometimes... I frequently lose the ability to use the shift key in game. So no capitals, no punctuation like exclamation points. Nothing fixes it except reloading.

[subtle elk]

Did someone say you can't do diff roofing on the cottage? I just tried to verify and mine lets me put new tiles

[flint escarp]

I think you just can't change the roof above the door? I haven't tried it yet.

[iron maple]

i was so close just a little more and it wouldve gotten right. Now i have to redo the fence

[subtle elk]

You can change the roof color per my image above

[signal thunder]

only roof color u can change is above the door

[subtle elk]

Oh that's it, yep

Can't change the overhang roof over door, other walls don't produce doors only doorway, that's a bit of an oof

A real oopsie on their execution combined with no easy workaround haha

[flint escarp]

Can you change the roof on the trim pieces? I haven't tried that, but I managed to flick one above my door. It doesn't get rid of the door overhang, but it kind of covers it. (I like the red, so I didn't bother trying to change.)

[subtle elk]

Will have to check

My Grand Harvest House was refusing to be picked up now so I am reloading again. Oof.

[flint escarp]

(I would be trying these things myself if I was actually able to play the game right now... I'm satisfying my Palia addiction with Palia discord when I can't play.)

[subtle elk]

I mean putting such parts off-plot isn't particularly novel, but I'm a touch surprised I can do it at all from the H interface

[thorn sable]

when the trim is in the nomal spot it copies whatever roof is there, not sure what happens if flicked somewhere else

[fossil arch]

ehm... why i can't place a curtain on the walls in the new house? °___°

[signal thunder]

curtains are bugged can only place bellflower

[subtle elk]

I really wish there were a way to take a building block setup and save a blueprint so you could make copies of it as long as the requisite parts are available lol

There's not, right? (Still new)

[manic sandal]

Hey Everyone, hope you all are enjoying the new content!

Wanted to take a moment to thank you all for raising issues to our attention and give assurance that we are listening to the feedback.

[manic sandal]

Thank you for raising this to our attention. We're looking into it.

[subtle elk]

Ayyyy we love it 🙌

I'm cooking to send yall some feedbacks that I hope serve as low-effort, high-return items you can tackle

[manic sandal]

Yup, roofing materials can be applied to the Alchemist roofs and any roof decor placed on it will inherit the material. Keep in mind that the roof decor must be placed before the roofing material is applied for it to inherit. You can always re-apply the roofing material once the decor is placed and the decor will inherit it as well.

[subtle elk]

but not on roofing over inherent doors

[manic sandal]

Thanks for surfacing this! We are looking into the wallpaper issues that have been reported such as flickering and alignment between walls.

[subtle elk]

(you probably saw that just making sure since you didn't note it overtly)

[terse terrace]

Can we attach stuff like the fireplace to the new housing line?

[flint escarp]

So I just got on quickly, and as Seth just pointed out, you have to have it connected to roof to change the roofing. So if add trim to the side of the house like this, you can't change the roof tiles. However, it does make a nice ramp that you can run up to get on top of your housing for building purposes (I'd been using a bouncy shroom, but this works a bit better).

[manic sandal]

Unfortuantely no. The harvest home line uses older tech that limited the way we could build with those pieces.

The new home line uses new tech that allows us to achieve much greater diversity in how players build.

As we continue to expand home lines, more options will be made available to achieve greater diversity.

[terse terrace]

Okay, thank you . Do you know if there’s any plans to make the housing lines a little more affordable? It’s quite a lot to make a decently sized house for a more casual player

[analog summit]

Are windows and other add ons going to be available to buy or craft separately?

[vital rapids]

its not just on the new house.
is it possible u changed how u find a grid? The same issue is present on some different wall items.

To add to that some tricks which worked before (like the Kilima Banner showing the grid of the wall) dont work anymore. Which was pretty useful even when it was unintended. Also 'Gridfinding' gets stopped by the landscape ground which wasnt the case before. I know this is mostlikely intended but a lot of players pushed terraces out of the buildarea (under the surface) to build outside.

I know most of that was / is unintended behaviour, but a lot of players would be happy if we could restore the old behaviour at least mostly.

[subtle elk]

Bless this mess. Oh the tedium of reworking my entire half-finished project I've spent an entire month on already. We love it

[flint escarp]

It looks like a collection of mini skyscrapers! 😆

[subtle elk]

Well it WAS a pretty decent fence (was the first thing I actually built outta components)

[manic sandal]

In general, we're always listening to and discussing player feedback internally, however, action takes both thought and time to implement.

[subtle elk]

Honestly between trying to move it and elements needing to be rearranged for the new shape and parts anchoring in wild ways requiring me to disassembled it so much, I may as well just consider redoing the entire fence now that I have all of these tricks I can employ like angling, floating, merging.

[terse terrace]

Thank you!!

[woven pollen]

Aside from the bugs, there were quite a few questions about the promotional material used in this update. Especially the Spring Fever Large Lights on the higher parts of the house.
Would it be possible to make the promotional material in-game or inform players it's not what they can actually do?
Also should I submit this as a ticket to support?

[feral cape]

That's a win in my book xd

[signal thunder]

do you know when the curtain bug and some decorating bugs will be fixed?

[uncut blaze]

is the alchemist cottage set built predominantly with bahari materials? just trying to see which stone and wood types i need to collect a lot of

[signal thunder]

ancient wood glass and whitestone

[uncut blaze]

thank you

[subtle elk]

Lmao. @manic sandal I hope they gonna give you a purple heart medal or an equivalent for devs for braving the public discord live today. XD

[manic sandal]

We're aware of the desire to have more freedom with where decor assets are placed and will be assessing our catalogue of decor in the future.

[loud furnace]

So we can only get the alchemist roof decor pieces by buying a whole house? Can we not just buy or make the individual pieces?

[subtle elk]

OH QUICK THING SETH! I do 2D graphic design quite well, have minor experience in 3D modeling, and would adore assisting if ever an opportunity presented itself

[manic sandal]

At the moment, yes. We are listening to feedback and discussing it internally.

[subtle elk]

@manic sandal ^

[peak scaffold]

can we only stack 2 rooms not 3 with the new housing lines?

[subtle elk]

Correct cottage line maxes at 2 stories

[analog summit]

Are windows and other add ons going to be available to buy or craft separately? You can only obtain them by buying separate buildings currently and it feels very counterproductive to have to buy entire buildings just for windows.

[manic sandal]

I can't give any timelines but we are aware of several issues and looking into resolutions for them.

That being said, please continue to post new issues you find so that we can continue to improve the quality of our Housing gameplay.

[feral cape]

What I would want to ask is if it would be possible for folks responsible for coding decor items like new housing lines or building blocks to make tutorials or in general talk about properties and behaviour of those? In any way, video or text?

[peak scaffold]

can we be able to make a full attic instead of partial

[signal thunder]

for cottage a & b its 150 ancient wood plank, 20 whitestone slabs, 15 glass pane, baseroom is 75 ancient wood planks, 10 whitestone slabs

[subtle elk]

Ah jeeze... I just got a new laptop that doesn't have my portfolio on it and I was able to pull my business card (that I designed and is decent for showing off the skill itself) but GIMP's latest version's blurring tool isn't working right cause I just reinstalled GIMP on this thing last night and haven't set up all my brushes

OOF a missed opportunity to network. C'est la vie

[vital rapids]

ah.. almost forgot. bit more testing of the weird placement behavior of this patch. feels like it checks for a grid behind the grid? (no clue if that makes sense)

[subtle elk]

Dang the blur tool isn't acting normal at all D:

[iron maple]

thoughts on that? the fact that the edging is not white is making it hard for me to decide

[subtle elk]

Goes well with the flooring, and I like the contrast personally

[iron maple]

this looks a little better when i put it further back

[subtle elk]

Also parallels the brownish cord for the lights well

Brown horizontal, white vertical, hits my eyes pleasantly

[iron maple]

yeah, i dont wanna make it too white but i wanted the light thingy to match the color of the fence im using

[dawn socket]

Appreciate hearing this as just yesterday me a fellow friend from here did a little magic with fences to get this sick railing!

(Would be nice to see what is to come later down the line though for my customizability~ )

[foggy lynx]

So im just now playing around with the alchemist cottage. Are there still no options for interior doors?

[dawn socket]

There is not sadly...

[foggy lynx]

That's so sad 😞

[amber marlin]

anyone know if some building glitches have been removed? the day before the update i could do the invalid placement glitch but now i cant. anyone else experienced this?

[woven pollen]

That's nice to know. I was more concerned about the difference between what you see in the trailer and what the game actually allows you to do. I just want the promotional material to show things possible in the game.
Thank you for listening to feedback

[junior lance]

Hey guys!! Is this hollow tree purchable? I can’t find it anywhere

[foggy lynx]

People are glitching the kilima bay windows into the walls and it completely transforms the house. I don't know why they aren't compatible when they look fine. The new windows can't even be seen through and despite them being cute they only match a very specific vibe. I hope we don't have to wait forever for some new styles

[iron solstice]

I'm loving the bay windows in it! < 3

[signal thunder]

no someone from s6 was in here he said just keep submitting the issues and they are looking into them all but dont have a timeline when things will be resolved

[amber marlin]

okay thank u!

[signal thunder]

that was the first question i asked when i seen them haha

[signal thunder]

no but you can buy a smaller version lol

[foggy lynx]

I'm gonna have to practice how to do it. I'm pretty familiar with glitching objects but this seems complicated but definitely worth it.

[junior lance]

And where can i find it or craft it? I see othee plots with this one

[signal thunder]

this is the only purchasbale one

[junior lance]

Where?

[iron solstice]

this video really helped me learn how ❤️ I hope I'm allowed to share a link in here :3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrXetHrg6sM

[loud furnace]

The giant log is part of the landscape.

[flint escarp]

It's part of one of the landscapes. I think the most basic cheapest one? Forest something?

[foggy lynx]

Thank you 😊

[junior lance]

Oh… so sad

[signal thunder]

its part of the wooded grove landscape

[junior lance]

Thank u all anyway 🙏🏽💖

[signal thunder]

not sure what to do with this haha

[flint escarp]

Just coming back to say that!

I knew it had something to do with forest/woods.

[signal thunder]

you can buy this cute little decorative one lol i know its not the same but its still beautiful

[delicate ridge]

Does the shelf as stair glitch no longer work? 💀

[signal thunder]

yeah its the landscape i have

[flint escarp]

I know it's not really anything really special, but I love the log and the river... I'm thinking it might be perfect for my hobbit hole.

[delicate ridge]

Nothings in the way

[signal thunder]

it still works. turn off your grid and move it around till it finds the hot spot

[heady spoke]

I can't remember exactly how it goes, but basically he says that he is either interested in human emotions, or is wondering about them, and asks how your day is going. You have to respond that your day has been rough. You then get the pebble in the mail after waiting a bit.

[delicate ridge]

Like I said nothings in the way I can go into the middle if the room and it says the same thing

[signal thunder]

hmm let me try on mine

[heady spoke]

Are u making sure u grabbed the plate and not the shelf by mistake? I do that sometimes

[delicate ridge]

100% sure

[signal thunder]

try using a pillar instead

[opal elm]

If this has already been addressed, my apologies, but are the doors to the house glitched? I get interior doors not having an actual door, but when you put a doorway to the outside - shouldn't it have an actual door? (since we cannot add the kilima backdoors to the new housing line). Just trying to decern if this is a glitch, or how it was meant to be.

[signal thunder]

try a pillar

[heady spoke]

I will say that the gourmet set has been messed up with the new update. Tops of bowls no longer let u set things other than the bowl on top, and even pavers won't let u flick wall items anymore. People are running into a bunch of issues like this

[signal thunder]

the door will only go the the actual front of the house so make sure your house is facing the right way. this happened to me yesterday and i had the house facing backwards and i was trying to get the door

[delicate ridge]

Worked with the pillar but I swore the cup worked before I did it the other day rahhh lol

[signal thunder]

yeah all gourmet glitches are bugged

[heady spoke]

see message 2 up

[delicate ridge]

why must all good stuff be broken

[signal thunder]

yay for patch days haha

[heady spoke]

I do wanna know why houses broke the gourmet set...

[opal elm]

Good Call! I get it now. If you want a "backdoor" to the house, you just need to place it backwards. ><. Why didn't I think of that? haha.

[heady spoke]

and pavers somewhat

[signal thunder]

i was getting so mad at myself haha

i need my cluster decorators!!! i need ideas for in here lol

[glossy pumice]

You can get the shiny pebble through convo instead of oysters? 😱

[signal thunder]

no the shiny pebble is a decor item from him you still need to find one in the oyster to complete the achievment

[glossy pumice]

I'm sry what? There is a pebble decor? What is it called?

[fresh shard]

Sorry if this has already been posted but this should be a way for console players to get outdoor items like the spring lights on their top stories of the alchemist house! All it takes is the alt select method, and maybe a cancelation or two.

You take a few of the small yardwork terraces and put a builders pillar on top of one, alt select the builders pillar and you can easily put the terraces 'inside' the house. To get them flat and covering the whole floor you may have to cancelation one or two away after placing to fill in any gaps.
But after you place all of those, you should be able to place any outdoor items 'inside' like the spring fever lights or the grow it all out gazebo

[signal thunder]

the shiny pebble lol

[glossy pumice]

Oh lol 😂

[signal thunder]

thru the quest you get a shiny pebble decor thru achievments you find and gift him all his pebbles the hardest one to get is in the oysters thats the one ive been stuck on for a month

[glossy pumice]

So once you get all the pebbles for him you get the convo that gives you the decor?

[signal thunder]

no the pebble from him is part of his quest line

[glossy pumice]

Well that's stupid. So some people won't get the decor then cause they didn't convo correctly. 🤔

[signal thunder]

apparently they fixed that bug

[woven pollen]

It looks like this

[glossy pumice]

Then I need to go see a galdur about a pebble.
Edit: nope. Still only get the daily chat.

[signal thunder]

i would submit a ticket

and your sure you did that questline already?

[glossy pumice]

Is it a romance quest?

[signal thunder]

no friendship

[glossy pumice]

I'm done with all friendship quests.

[flint escarp]

I think you might need to give it time and talk to him several times. I'm not sure the conversation will appear the first time you talk to him? (I have not tried yet. I am one of the people who answered "incorrectly" before.)

[stray anchor]

Isn't it the shiny pebble just from a random dialog and not tied to a quest ?

[foggy lynx]

How do you put a room above the room below that has the stairs? Do you need to place the stairs second?

[woven pollen]

It's not friendship either it's from some dialogue you just get at some point

[flint escarp]

Yes, that's what I thought. It doesn't happen until you reach a certain friendship level, but it's not a friendship quest, just a random conversation.

[signal thunder]

You get the Shiny Pebble Decor from Einar after reaching Friendship Level 3 and having a specific, "Water" personality conversation where you admit you're not doing well. He will then mail you the decorative item as a gift. Alternatively, you might receive it as a reward for completing the "Pebbled Plunder" accomplishment by collecting all of Einar's lost shiny pebbles as gifts.
How to Get the Shiny Pebble Decor
Reach Friendship Level 3 with Einar: Unlock the "The Pebble" friendship quest.
Have a Specific Conversation: Look for a specific dialogue option where Einar asks how your day is going.
Choose the "Water" Dialogue: When you're asked how you feel, select the option that expresses that you're not doing well or are feeling "rough".
Receive the Mail: If you give the correct answer, Einar will mail the Shiny Pebble Decor to you later with a letter.
Complete the Pebbled Plunder Accomplishment: Another way to obtain the item is by giving Einar all his lost shiny pebbles as gifts, which unlocks the "Pebbled Plunder" accomplishment and rewards you with the decor.

[woven pollen]

it was bugged previously and you couldn't repeat the dialogue if you answered once (the pebble is from one of the convo options)

[topaz ingot]

You should be able to plop on another fully built room on top of it with or without the stair. Just make sure the first floor room is roofless before you place it

[flint escarp]

So you just had to turn the room so that the "entrance" wall wasn't facing a different room?

[heady spoke]

They will they fixed it in this update. The convo repeats

[glossy pumice]

I got the pebble plunder accomplishment just from collecting the pebbles, not giving him them. However I just gave him the shiny pebble. So let's see if I get the convo at reset.

[signal thunder]

i still have yet to find that smooth shiny pebble its the last one i need lol

[heady spoke]

And the shiny pebble is not the decor, it will say shiny pebble decor and u get it in the mail from him

[woven pollen]

is there a way to find out which pebble I'm missing?

[vital rapids]

@feral cape btw its just the one grow stage of the flow birch tree thats buggy (will see in a few ingame days if its the same for normal birch)

[signal thunder]

go into your achievments and look under pebble plunder it wont tell you what they are but there is a tracker to check off wht you got so far

[peak scaffold]

only 3 more buildings I can add time to farm 125k... do i have to have a roof on middle to be able to change front piece cannot change it

[flint escarp]

Thank you! That's good info to have! So just remember to have all the main door walls facing the outside, even if you aren't using them as entrance doors.

[signal thunder]

this is what im missing but it has nothing to do with getting the shiny pebble decor.

[woven pollen]

I got the decor I needed this, thanks

[signal thunder]

oh good so it worked for ya then?

[woven pollen]

What? I never had the bug. I got the decor like 2 weeks ago

[heady spoke]

I had the bug. I had to wait almost a yr to get the decor XD. Pebbled Plunder was bugged for me as well

[signal thunder]

you had me all confused then with what you were looking for lol

[heady spoke]

I think it was Trovian asking about the decor

[woven pollen]

sorry xd, I meant the pebbles you gift to Einar

[signal thunder]

too many pebble talks haha

but that pebble from the oysters i cant for the life of me get it lol

[flint escarp]

There is definitely a naming issue in this game... pebbles that are gifts and that are decor. Builder's pieces and builders pieces... it gets really confusing.

[heady spoke]

I have to ask just in case. Are you using a YT tutorial to find them?? Bc a lot of them are inaccurate

[signal thunder]

no i just run around collecting unopened oysters in bahari lol

[flint escarp]

I didn't realize at first that you could open oysters for meat. I was just collecting them and selling them. I'm hoping the RNG doesn't work like that, but what if I sold the one with the pebble?!!?

[signal thunder]

yes and then rancher and rancher's lol

[signal thunder]

gotta keep looking haha

[heady spoke]

Lol, k. Bc I used walkthroughs when I couldn;t find the last 2, and they not only had the names but the locations of the pebbles mixed up (this was a yr ago tho)

[signal thunder]

i gave up looking about a week ago lol thousands of oysters and nothing

[woven pollen]

That shouldn't be an issue

[flint escarp]

Yes, I found one recently that was in the right place, but not the pebble it was "supposed" to be according to wherever I was checking. Also, as an aside, I don't know how I had not seen it there before. I swear it appeared there recently.

[heady spoke]

Even if u sell them, the opening of them is what triggers the pebble so ur good

[flint escarp]

That's what I figured, but when you've opened a zillion oysters, you start to worry! 😆

[signal thunder]

decorating is irritating maybe ill go get irritated more by not finding the last pebble lol

[heady spoke]

I would make sure the oyster is what u need. I thought the last one I needed was the oyster and it was the orange one in the hollow stump

[woven pollen]

turns out I'm missing 3 that you can just pick up somewhere and the oyster one -_-

[flint escarp]

I had to check... I have two I need, the oyster one and another.

[heady spoke]

There is a stump that is hollow near the hole in the wall. One is there try checking bc it's what I was missing. But it said I needed yellow, not orange. It was all messed up

[signal thunder]

which one do you need

[flint escarp]

I don't even know. I can't really get on right now more than a minute or two, so I'll figure it out later. It's not important until I find that smooth shiny pebble anyway! That one is the limiting factor.

I'm actually glad that some of these things are harder to find... It's nice when you feel like you've found everything in the game and then surprise, you get something new just by luck of RNG.

[subtle elk]

Tfw you make a huge mess and halfway through you wonder if this was all worth it lmao

[narrow basin]

Can we still lay down books or it’s patched?

[heady spoke]

This new ranching thing is killing my money making from my farm... I had to take a chunk away to grow corn, and now it's taking me twice as long to make the same amount. We need more soils.

[proper cipher]

Any decor inspo for the ranch board?

[woven pollen]

What are you feeding them? 👀

[signal thunder]

still bugged

i give mine whatever crop i have a lot of lol

[woven pollen]

You do know you can feed them anything that gives you focus, right? I've just fed them my pickled tomatoes

[tepid solstice]

Much better when not facing the same way

[heady spoke]

That's money in my pocket tho... And u still had to grow it and process it to get it. To grow corn costs nothing but soil space. And for those who want to go out and buy corn, u'll spend like 4k to get a 30 count

[woven pollen]

The amount you feed them depends on the focus value of the food

1 starred pickled tomato fully feeds a peki as far as I know

[signal thunder]

Would’ve been smart to have soil just for the ranch to grow crops

[heady spoke]

Just don't put them too close together or ull be upset

[cyan matrix]

I'm so overwhelmed with the new cottage. I don't feel like my setup of rooms is right, don't know what to put in it, what wall colour and floor and I hate the fact that we get opaque windows while the door is translucent and at tamala's house they're also perfectly translucent

[tepid solstice]

Why ?

[heady spoke]

They are not flush with one another at all when turned like that

[proper cipher]

Is the wall glitching still "broken" om the original housing?

[heady spoke]

I understand, but it's faster to just grow the corn/tomatoes/etc., and I make money off of my pickled produce, so it's cutting into my profit, and by a decent amount at that

[woven pollen]

I don't like growing corn and I use the pickled tomatoes for focus anyway so it works for me

[heady spoke]

I have a full bok choy setup, so it's killing me. I went from 40k profit a day to just over 20

[snow lake]

How do you do the glitch?

I’m dying for bay windows on the new houses

[woven pollen]

"Cutting tool" is what the glitch is called

[snow lake]

Is it Pc only?

[shy mica]

Is there any way to do the cutting tool with small rooms? I’m only seeing a tutorial for it with three large rooms and I’m not tryna spend all that lol

[woven pollen]

I think it works on all platforms

[snow lake]

Oohh I’ll have to give it a try! How is it done?

[heady spoke]

And even then, regardless of whether u use the produce itself or the finished pickled product, it's still taking up space in ur garden (and in the case of pickles ur preservers) that would have been used for making money. We rlly do need more soil

[woven pollen]

@heady spoke you got a link to a cutting tool video? I can't find one here (and I won't reccomend what I don't know about)

[heady spoke]

ONe sec I have a pic walkthru I did in here and theres an old video on YT from someone

[waxen yacht]

The red door and color scheme of the alchemist cottage makes me sad 😔 I have a need for paint that we could buy/make to paint the exteriors of the base houses

[heady spoke]

There are others as well if u look up "solo detaching Palia" on YT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrXetHrg6sM&t=280s&pp=ygUSc29sb3MgZGV0YWNoIHBhbGlh

[snow lake]

Ty!

[flint escarp]

You don't have to feed them corn.

[heady spoke]

I know u can feed them more than corn, but the point is that it's cutting into my farm profit to feed them u know?

[rain sandal]

any1 else like me buying the achemist houses jsut for the ivies lol

[heady spoke]

And at 45k a house piece it's a thorn in my side rn, lol

[woven pollen]

I don't think we need more farm soil but more money

[heady spoke]

Or this. Idk why they nerfed stuff so much when they come out with such expensive things

[flint escarp]

Sorry, I hadn't read ahead. I understand what you're saying now!

[vital rapids]

nope. if they add crafting for that in the next patch I'd go crazy 😂

[heady spoke]

Or give us a feeder where we put in seeds and it makes chicken feed

[flint escarp]

I like this idea!

[woven pollen]

I think they said another way to get the addons will be introduced in the future

[heady spoke]

And wheat for the Ormuus turns into hay bails

[flint escarp]

And now I just realized my pekis are probably starving.... 😆

[woven pollen]

I don't know if you got to level 4 already but the pigs have double the hunger bar and I assume the ormuus eat even more

[heady spoke]

I haven't even reached lvl 2 yet XD. And I've been buying Pekis like crazy

[waxen yacht]

Theres some really logical things that they always seem to miss and its been a reoccurring thing for majority of the patches in my opinion 🫡🫡

[fluid geode]

Has anyone finished their cottages? I need inspiration, also the roof of my cottage A and B looks the same as the Base cottage and Idk how to get the ones that it came with back

[waxen yacht]

This would be a great idea

[vital rapids]

how are ppl even higher levels?
just donating most of the babies and buying new ones?

[heady spoke]

Did u leave during construction, or u just picked them up and now the stuff is not on there?

[wooden dock]

Only my layout is done, haven't decorated, but it's posted earlier today in this group 🙂

[woven pollen]

It would be a great idea but there are also some perks that tell you to feed them epic quality food

[heady spoke]

They can just add reg grain and starred grain for it tho? Like any crafter

[fluid geode]

oh ive been leaving and buying more houses and stacking but I did a bunch of stuff and I dont have the roofs in my chest or pockets or anything sadly

[fluid geode]

I only have like the chimney and leaves flowers whatever they are and windows

[heady spoke]

So u double checked ur inv. storage already? If tht's the case it prob. finished construction while u were away and bugged out. The only thing to do is send a ticket if that's the case

[rain sandal]

yea i need the ivies to cover up the dirtyness of my decoration lol

[waxen yacht]

How did this conversation about the pekis get into the decor chat

[heady spoke]

Double check reg. storage bc they don't go into the housing tab

[fluid geode]

yeah those cottages are confusing, still trying to figure them out but okay thank you! ill look again

[woven pollen]

we were talking about getting money for decor and how the ranching interferes with it

[fluid geode]

wheres it posted? I would love to see!

[waxen yacht]

Ohhh yes!! It for sure does

[manic sandal]

When you pick up your cottages the decor assets will be sent to inventory/storage.

There's also been player reports of an issue where leaving your plot/slot while the cottages are constructing has a chance to finish them as a Base. We are looking into this issue.

[wooden dock]

I can post it again 🙂

[fluid geode]

thank you!

[fluid geode]

only if its not any trouble?

[waxen yacht]

I hope we can get all the items (ivy, windows etc.) that we've lost back somehow from that bug

[heady spoke]

This is cute! I can't wait till I can afford house #2 lol

[fluid geode]

omg!! thats amazing!

[fluid geode]

teach me your ways!

[woven pollen]

Like does this guy really expect me to feed him a cake or something when I can't even afford the decor I want? smh

[heady spoke]

My point exactly XD

[wooden dock]

XD sure! It took me forever though!

[fluid geode]

felt this lol

[fluid geode]

Can I add you?

[weak basin]

anyone got a guide or vid for the cottage? Idk how these roof work lol

[heady spoke]

I have yet to mess with the pieces or I would help u. I am too poor rn 🙁

[waxen yacht]

Plus its only for a "fleeting burst" I definitely think having more soil plots would help combat the money issue

[manic sandal]

This is super cute!

How'd you get the bay windows onto the cottage though 🤔

[iron solstice]

I find it helps if you're standing on the roof, and look for circular anchor points when placing the addons

[feral cape]

Yeah sadly seen that

[heady spoke]

It's done via a "cutting tool" or "solo detaching"

[signal thunder]

This was even more beautiful person

[woven pollen]

Can I say that to a dev? ||You gotta use the "cutting tool" glitch||

[tepid solstice]

One of our "creative use of game mechanic"

[heady spoke]

It's perfectly ok to use so its fine. It's not against the rules

[vital rapids]

also they arent connected to the cottage.
glitching allows getting "standalone" (old) attachments.

[woven pollen]

I was more afraid of it getting removed

[waxen yacht]

(Please dont patch our silly little creative game mechanics)

[heady spoke]

Please yes, leave it alone, it's all we have left of ghosting

[wooden dock]

Now that is a secret to everyone I'm joking, I used the "cutting tool" glitching to just line them up, there is a gap between the walls and the windows, but the bushes and a row of counters will hide that well

[feral cape]

XDDD welcome to our glitching masterclasses

[manic sandal]

Thanks for the info! Fwiw, I just want to understand the implications of the glitch because sometimes glitches result in bad things happening to data. Typically we only fix issues that cause data corruption and allow the "clever use of game mechanics" to exist until we can support it as a feature.

[woven pollen]

It's the closest we can get to a full window wall

[heady spoke]

If you would like to understand how it works -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrXetHrg6sM&t=280s&pp=ygUSc29sb3MgZGV0YWNoIHBhbGlh

[waxen yacht]

With windows that have actual transparent glass

(Still dont know if that's supposed to be how they look or if its a bug)

[manic sandal]

Ah gotcha, a new ghosting glitch!

[feral cape]

Which glitches we used might have that effect? So we know what might corrupt data

[heady spoke]

Actually it's very old. This is what was used before we could ghost

[feral cape]

And avoid it!

[umbral cape]

I've been playing with this for about 45 minutes now and I simply can't get the rooms to "collapse" like in the video. I used medium rooms because I didn't have 3 large ones

[woven pollen]

Let's teach the devs how to anchor, sink and flick too 🤣

[feral cape]

For those I take sign ups for classes too xd

[delicate ridge]

Do I like this?

[manic sandal]

So when you send assets cross-slots like this, you risk losing the asset entirely if we update logic. We're generally okay with players doing this but it's at your own risk.

[umbral cape]

Sign me up!! lol

[heady spoke]

This one doesn;t take it across plots, it's just moving rooms a certain way so they detach. Ghosting is what sends them across plots

[vital rapids]

well... while I was reading that. do you happen to know if the server crash (due to a specific creative use of the game mechanics) was forwarded by support?

[manic sandal]

We understand that in future releases players would love to have more ways to do these types of things without using glitches and are constantly looking at how ot support that through gameplay.

[wooden dock]

No problem! I understand that the devs want to learn. I have seen this glitch done for quite a while now, so it's not new. I have not sent these specific windows cross-slots, these were made entirely on this plot

[waxen yacht]

Seth, are the alchemist windows supposed to be so dark and dreary? I really am sad that we can't let a little light in on the new housing plots - i had to get create and make my own "windows" out of the doorway wall option

[delicate ridge]

Im trying to make a loft of a hallway but i dunno

[iron maple]

i need a mature juniper tree but only have adult ones

[signal thunder]

Keep watering them

[feral cape]

Probably got it lost without tagging before but I would want to know if it would be possible to get those who coded placement and behaviour of building blocks and new housing lines too to talk a little more about mechanics? In any form possible, it's hard to grasp those fully on our own (especially blocks)

[manic sandal]

This was the first iteration of Windows as decor vs buildings like the Bay Window. We've heard the feedback though and will learn/grow from it.

[iron maple]

yeah im gonna do that, just wish i already had one so i could see what i will look like where i want it

[signal thunder]

120 oysters down 209457295739457 more to go to find this last dang pebble lol

[heady spoke]

This is the only thing available for us rn, so no going across plots -#🏡│decor message

[indigo bear]

Math is incorrect, it takes more oysters than 209457295739457

[wooden dock]

I will be giving feedback once I've built some more with this, but I know I would love the railings that go on the ground, like the new ranch railings i have in the picture, to be able to be placed easily on the roof like on real life buildings, right now they're floating on the red present

[manic sandal]

I think this is a tough one. In any game that allows for UGC in the manner that we do, there's a basic understanding of how things work then an advanced understanding of how to extend that functionality to do really creative things.

We try our best to make our content approachable but there's a lot of advanced building techniques the community has discovered. In those instances, it creates opportunity for the community to socialize those techniques.

I can provide the feedback to my team though as we are always looking to improve/simplify the experience.

[waxen yacht]

Eventually I feel that a lot of us would absolutely love to see all objects being able to rotate in all directions/be placed anywhere without any hitboxes or having other items in the way would be a dream!

[manic sandal]

Totally. It's something we're aware of but implementing a solution is harder than you'd think.

[woven pollen]

It's great to talk to you here, because, in all honesty, I don't even know where my feedback suggestions end up. Absolutely no disrespect meant for you or the team by this

[heady spoke]

Yeah it's kind of hard to do that without ripping EVERYTHING apart. The whole system might have to be redone. I'm not techno savvy tho

[signal thunder]

yeah i figured lol

[manic sandal]

Trust me, we see it all! We're constantly seeking out the feedback the community provides for future opportunities to improve. So thank you for your feedback.

[manic sandal]

A lot of the complexity comes down to cross-platform play and control sets. While PC might be easier to solve for, controllers have a limit of functions you can surface.

So we have to be more thoughtful in the solutions we surface.

[woven pollen]

It would be great if we could see feedback submitted by other like we can with bug reports. Voting on it would be amazing

[waxen yacht]

Right, I imagined that was the case! I know it'd definitely be a lot of technical jargon and hard to understand but I'd love to know what kind of things are currently in your way of making that happen. Maybe not everyone would enjoy seeing it but I know I'd love to see videos on such things and see what you guys are working on periodically. Like a behind the scenes type of deal

[signal thunder]

if anyone is down to hunt oysters for einars smooth shiny pebble let me know its my last one and this is tragic lol

[umbral cape]

Same! I've picked up soooo many oysters.

[manic sandal]

I think that's a fair call out. I'll talk to our community team and see if there's opportunity for more insight posts.

[feral cape]

Not really about simplifying, not at all! More of understand some of the mechanics implemented that some of us would like to understand better

[manic sandal]

Heard. I'll bring this back to the team and we'll noodle on it.

[signal thunder]

im so tired of oyster hunting lol maybe if i complain long enough ill get it instantly lol

[heady spoke]

That's what I do. Works like a charm XD

[waxen yacht]

Appreciate you being here and listening Seth!! Thank you

[woven pollen]

Try it. Last time I posted about how many glow worms I had I got what I wanted in like 15 attempts

[dawn socket]

Where's the d**m fourth chaos emera- Oh! That green pearl I was after! Yaaaaaay!
🔥 🔥

[heady spoke]

Tho I have been trying to get a starred Ruby since I started the game and complaining still hasn;t put one in my pocket, lol

[shy mica]

Any way you could share your pic walkthrough? I’m also not having any luck seeing how to use different sizes of rooms besides large to create the cutting tool.…anyone have a video they could reference that doesn’t only use large rooms? Or anyone willing to explain it lol

[heady spoke]

The pic walkthrough is with the large rooms. BUt u can use other sizes to do it one sec #🏡│decor message

[dawn socket]

Don't the EXPENSIVE gem bags in the Elderwoods give starred gems...?

[wooden dock]

The game has really come a long way though. I first signed up in 2023, played for a bit, did the first quests, built a basic tent and home, took a short break, went all out again when it came out on steam too with my friend, and I must say it's been great to see all the new additions to the game! Please bring that back to your team too! A big pat on the back

[signal thunder]

the only thing i will say with the oysters is the spawn rate and how many its not and enedless waiting for them to spawn game

[delicate ridge]

Im smiling just thinking of the creations people could make with xyz rotation and no hit boxes

[heady spoke]

Idk I havent bought any yet lol

[wanton egret]

WELL, i need a couple more ivy, let me just grab my life savings and head to city hall 🤣

[dawn socket]

I remember getting one from ONE of the many hidden statues and I think I got some alright randos out of mine that were starred, but you need a HIGH essence hunting status to I think EVEN BUY the baggies of gems... XD

[heady spoke]

Oh I completed the EW in less than a day, I just haven;t bothered to go back yet and get the remaining things I need lol. Only missing the flooring

[manic sandal]

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you've found a second home in Palia.

[dawn socket]

Feel like we need a winery theme when the new roofs are... That wine red color... XD 🍷

[manic sandal]

There's a winter roofing option you can use on them if you got it last year. If not, it will be back this winter to get!

[woven pollen]

HOW?! You need like 50k essence just for the wallpapers

[heady spoke]

Force spawning trees

And a lot of effort lol. Parties help a lot

[delicate ridge]

Does anyone know if theres a way to stagger these below the floor to make them stairs so I can get rid of these shelf stairs its the ranch house nightstand

[dawn socket]

A winter roof? Right now I have the Umbraan leaves so it matches my plot on the "Endless Expanse"

(I just with we could have "Echo" trees like how we have Flow-Seed trees, mostly just cause I like that goopy void effect and think it would be HELLA cool coming up from the floor to all my current Ancient Wood trees... XD

[heady spoke]

You would have to sink them on something to the height u want. Like a floor piece

[iron maple]

agreed! I really enjoy the game when i get into my palia phase, i have a habit of playing games too much until i get bored and then i end up not playing for a long time and then i do it all over again So when i came back after my last break i was just like omgg, theres so much new stuff

[wanton egret]

While I love the new features and options on the new Alchemist's Cottage, I was really hoping we we're getting separate walls and bottom foundation pieces to build the house of our dreams, when I heard modular building, that's what my mind went to.

[topaz ingot]

I always love it when the devs pop in every now and then. Really makes it feel like they are listening and that our feedback isn’t being shouted at an empty wall

[dawn socket]

@manic sandal Ah! Snowy tiles roof... (Think I missed it... )

[heady spoke]

Or use the anchorless method, but I don't recommend that to newer glitchers bc it's got a lot of rules to know

[delicate ridge]

I tried but couldn't get them so sink below the floor it kept saying there was something in the way

[heady spoke]

U mean it wouldn't let u sink it, or place it afterwards?

[wanton egret]

I have a HEFTY batch of feedback that I'm about to send in 🤣 as always, it's focused around building and decor and hopefully it's well received.

[lucid patio]

i wish we could put fire places and the aby windows in them :/ was a little sad couldn't do any of that

[dawn socket]

Glass builder items when! XD

[delicate ridge]

I could get it to drop below the floor but it wouldn't let me place it there at all

[heady spoke]

You have to cancel place the dresser outside away from things so that when u move the floor piece inside to place u don't run into collision

[wanton egret]

and this texture malfunction is bothering me an embarrassingly heavy amount

[delicate ridge]

I'd just like some SMALLER builder blocks the walls are too big for everything I need id like one that matched the height of the builder block

[wanton egret]

no please, I havent even played with wallpaper on them yet HAHAH nooooo

[heady spoke]

I would like a round and square post the width of the Umbrella handle plz! And the height of a pillar. If we're making requests. Nothing on it!

[delicate ridge]

Ah okay then ill just leave it im back at cancel place stuff im on Xbox so I struggle with it a lot

Also to be able to recolor the builder blocks would be nice

[wanton egret]

tbh though, I think we could really take a page from Infinity Nikki's new construction/decor features. Their game runs on mobile 👀 very well might i add....

[vital rapids]

did anyone get the room multiselect working on switch? (well or other consoles?)

[delicate ridge]

Or make a dyed concrete builders block

[thorn sable]

my cottage rooms keep forgetting i have a door selected 😭

[heady spoke]

Yes, glass blocks, dyed blocks, and posts we can use to make things like fishing poles, etc. Or for smaller wood details

[frank falcon]

it's honestly rly annoying to work with, so hopefully it will be an example on how it shouldn't work
and while no collision on anything seemed promising at first feels rly awkward with a set distance things can be placed at

[dawn socket]

But imagine glass walls for the Courtyard walls? A bit of... Outdoors indoors like those SICK indoor glass walled gardens~

[heady spoke]

If they did this I would be quite content for some time

[delicate ridge]

I just worry it starts looking like minecraft

[wanton egret]

a lot of different aspects of it could be applied to Palia building for sure, although maybe not to the extreme capacity Infold did though, imo

[dawn socket]

Fair point... XD

[wanton egret]

Even though I appreciate the Alchemist Cottage, I think getting a kit with water, water tiles, ponds, pools, anything water would have made me happier 🤣
I'm REAL tired of sinking crafting, dyeing and sinking Capital Chic Tables.

[woven pollen]

Having a set of small items we can use for details would be goated

[heady spoke]

I don't see that happening. With the customization we can do it will look nothing like that

[delicate ridge]

I wouldn't mind a carpet with a water animation to " create " rivers and ponds

[heady spoke]

That's an interesting take on it

[manic sandal]

Totally. We're aware of these desires for what it's worth.

[delicate ridge]

Nothing fishable but gives the illusion of water more so than the elderwood carpet

[heady spoke]

I think the depth factor would be iffy tho. Even with good shading to make the illusion, it will look kinda flat/shallow. Still a cool solution tho

[woven pollen]

A few basic object in different colours. Like a sphere, cylinder, cube, and a thin wire-like piece

[signal thunder]

id be down for a any type of water feature that can easly be placed without the need to glitch it together

[fresh shard]

Would an undo button in Ctrl decor mode be possible? Sometimes I have the issue where things get picked up and placed from behind me, or my hands just malfunction and place something. It would be great to have a button to undo your last action, but would that be difficult to implement?

[heady spoke]

Even just glass blocks layered over top of something like a chic table or the mossy rugs would give the illusion of water without needing all the animation. Especially if they have a choppy texture

[frozen frigate]

How do you put those pillars like that to make the roof? I tried a lot of options and nothing works 😮

[signal thunder]

i cant tell u how many times im looking in front of me and i go to pick something up and it glitches and picks up something behind me or above me. ive had to redo so many things because of that

[woven pollen]

First person mode for building please 🙏

[delicate ridge]

Also could struggle with animation alignment too but could with a y item really lol

[delicate ridge]

THIS im tired of my big ah head getting in the way

[signal thunder]

make your glitch wall two high place a shelf put your pillar on pick up shelf and rotate it how ever steep you want it take your next pillar and place on top pick the pillar up from the shelf and set it down

[woven pollen]

also copy paste for groups of objects as QOL

[delicate ridge]

I'll never complain or ask for anything ever again if you just give us first person building mode

[signal thunder]

and crouching for tight spaces u cant see from above!!!

[signal thunder]

im at my plot if you would like me to show you

[frozen frigate]

Definitely gonna try this, thank you so much

[delicate ridge]

Or maybe just a builder free cam mode? Then we dont have to worry about our bodies at all

[frozen frigate]

Unfortunately I'm not on right now, I'm going to sleep, but thank you so much!

[signal thunder]

you're welcome also when you tilt it turn off grid mode itll make it easier to place the other pillar

[frozen frigate]

Okay 😊

[dawn socket]

Yeah! Building "Warframe" style! XD

[manic sandal]

So I'm hearing more modes for building, got it ✍️

[heady spoke]

Allowing us to zoom the camera in to where we can't see ourselves would be enough honestly.

[stray anchor]

Freecam would be epic for building, but would be amazing for photo mode too

[narrow oasis]

I finished setting up my new pc set up - I can finally check out the new Palia update tomorrow! How are people liking it so far, should I be excited?

[heady spoke]

And I can't say it enough. Glass blocks plz. And smaller builder's pieces for details. Pretty plz

[manic sandal]

Free the camera!

[eager osprey]

yeah it's cute stuff, but it's so limited tbh, I was hoping for something more. Be nice if they made a system that we didn't have to do glitching to, have sinking and floating built in. No collision on all decor so we can make what we want with all of the decor. And still, we have no indoor doors. There's so many things they could do with the building system, sadly this was not it. 🙁

[subtle elk]

2 hours. 2 hours of tinkering. Was it worth it? Is this even what Ima run with?!

[fresh shard]

Im honestly loving it so far despite the limitations, ive been having an absolute blast

[vital rapids]

since we talk about random stuff anyways.
is there any reason some items are ground only? (lets take the new barn bell as example).
i'd get it with the crafters which bug around but yet we can place em on the builders blocks which make em fly through the plot or reset 😂

[manic sandal]

Interesting thought on foundations. I assume you'd like to change the shape/footprint of it so that it's not just a square?

[narrow oasis]

I don't even know what to expect tbh, I'm excited to play though!

[heavy lake]

It's only 10 rooms per cottage building, right?

[fresh shard]

Yes, things like being able to create our own hallway/room shapes and sizes would be incredible. Id love circular rooms as well if possible

[heady spoke]

We thought that it would be to where u can just place a stand alone wall on it's own, or build it piece by piece urself

[wanton egret]

yes! To make new shapes and maybe porches, balconies, sides to a house and just a flat surface to decorate as well

[patent crest]

Circular rooms would be amazing 👀

[manic sandal]

Ah so you're talking about different building types, not just the foundation piece on the building. Got it.

Yeah I mean there's a lot we can do with the new system, but it will take time to produce assets for it like we did with Harvest.

Considering Alchemist is a first step into Home Lines.

[signal thunder]

no shot i found a work around haha

[fresh shard]

That's understandable! Its very exciting that youre here to listen to our wants and that these things are in the works. Thank you!

[signal thunder]

well maybe let me remove the walls outside haha

[wanton egret]

Yes, I think because the roadmap video showed stand alone walls... we believed it was going to be pieces of houses to build with xD

[patent crest]

Curious if the windows will be updated to be transparent so we can see through them? or if its just to fit the vibe of the home line?

[signal thunder]

i got a curtain yall hahah

[manic sandal]

To be clear, I'm not promising anything but I do want you to know that we hear your feedback and include it in our decision making.

[flint escarp]

How?

[heavy lake]

I would love to be able to turn buildings diagonally and not just straight

[signal thunder]

made walls like this and put them on the outside of the house cause for some reason the 3 front ones go in between the walls place my curtain and then group select the walls on the outside and move them

[waxen yacht]

Random and off topic quiestion - Do you think dying the builders block items different colors would be difficult to add in the game?

[heady spoke]

so the chest trick but different, lol

[waxen yacht]

(Sorry I just came back to the chat lol)

[signal thunder]

what trick is that lol

[heady spoke]

To place curtains in bay windows u have to stack chests to see the grid

[signal thunder]

hmm interesting

[heady spoke]

U can also hang things on ur door this way

[peak gate]

I want hallway sizes for the alchemist cottage, I miss my lil pantry ;w;

[signal thunder]

idk how well this workaround will work with the upstairs

[waxen yacht]

He told me that it was their first try at making windows as a decor item and that they would learn from our feedback so I'm assuming it was meant to be that way and they have taken it into consideration to change them!

[heavy lake]

Illusen 👀

[peak gate]

hehe

[heady spoke]

Maybe make them like lights and have them glow? Problem solved?

Kind of. At least we would have the illusion of light

[patent crest]

Thanks for letting me know, I just joined the chat so i appreciate that

[tepid solstice]

A nice warm light, not those bright white ones

[waxen yacht]

Actually love this idea, I'll have to try that when I get home!! ✍️ ✍️ ✍️

[last portal]

has anyone made a tutorial for glitching the new houses?

[manic sandal]

Everything has a cost and our job is to identify what features, systems, enhancements, etc make the greatest impact for the cost to develop it.

[wanton egret]

you know, I keep putting in feedback that a mannequin item to display our cosmetic purchases would be amazing, Id love to dress up a mannequin w my cooking fit to decorate a plot. the new coloring system will def have me looking at more outfits to purchase. Its steps in the right direction. I want REASONS to spend more money in the game ik i dont speak for everyone, but im a sucker for cute stuff LOL

[tepid solstice]

It would be a great impact, I think more players would use the builders wall/floors/... if they were actually personalizeable (if that's a word xD) At least letting us put wallpaper/ floorings on them

[signal thunder]

my main concern right now is being able to hang curtains lol

[wanton egret]

i end up floating most of mine, ngl
do you know how to anchor them to a wall? might be the easiest way since they collide with just about everything

[manic sandal]

Indeed but there's also performance cost to think about and how do we scale application of materials across 100's to thousands of items in a way that doesn't melt your hardware

[inner cobalt]

Got a cypress if looking for, b6

[wanton egret]

I personally love when my hardware melts

[slow stirrup]

Yeah, dyeing builder's blocks would be amazing. Also door we can place inside

[last portal]

try hanging a kilima banner (the red boho one) then place the curtians over it and you can pick it back up

[manic sandal]

Gives you a great excuse to upgrade! "Awe shoot my motherboard melted, welp time for a new high-end gaming PC"

[signal thunder]

no i dont lol

[manic sandal]

Yup totally. That was my bad. We're looking into it.

[heady spoke]

I don't think anyone has mentioned this either, but when u try to hang things on the wall, near connection points for rooms, it turns red. It has been doing this long before the update

[wooden dock]

Seth, what did you do to my CURTAINS

[frank falcon]

is performance cost also the reason why we don't get any new tints?

[manic sandal]

Yeah this is a friction point we're aware of. It's very tricky to solve but we've looked into it.

[signal thunder]

thank you so much 🙂 curtains make a house feel homie and to not have that right now stinks

[vital rapids]

happens, we all are just humans
is something like this enough to qualify for a hotfix once yall found & fixed the issue?

[heady spoke]

And the old barrels have a gap between them... This is a pet peeve of mine. If u sit something on top it floats. Same with the spa day trays

[fresh shard]

Yes, the diy windows with these entrance ways would look SOOOOO good with curtains

[prisma nebula]

does anyone have alot of pink-ish decor? trying to get inspo for a room and im finding alot of purple ;w;

[manic sandal]

We're constantly looking into ways to improve the game, tints is certainly one of those areas.

[peak gate]

green and brown green and brown green and brown *i am taken and thrown into a padded cell*

[prisma nebula]

i forgot dyes existed until last week so i feel u heavily

[heady spoke]

Yes, an earth toned color pallet plz for furniture.

[woven pollen]

or being able to place wallpaper on builder's blocks

[signal thunder]

i know it sounds like we are being super needy esp since yall work so hard at this game. just upsetting when either something to simple as hanging curtains or using the bowl method to make steps no longer works. we truly appreciate all the hard work yall put into this game to make it as fun and laid back as it is

[fresh shard]

Black dye for furniture please. Black furniture would HIT

[heady spoke]

And this

[chrome thunder]

I thought decor limit and flower limit were separate?

[prisma nebula]

technically seperate but flowers count as decor so it adds 1 for each

[heady spoke]

They are but all count towards total item count. Or wait I got mixed up with trees

[vital rapids]

nope. flowers still count towards the decor limit, but on top of that u only can have 1000 flowers

[signal thunder]

can you boost the limit to atleast like 5k 10k max haha

[waxen yacht]

When I see a nice sunny yellow or darker green furniture color tint I'll probably just cry

[iron maple]

my garden is donee

[fresh shard]

I would happily melt my computer for a higher item limit

[vital rapids]

just melt down the switch players 😂

[frank falcon]

If costs and time wasn't in issue
it would honestly be great if we'd be able to create our own tints with the colors we unlock with tailor tickets, but cost and time is an issue

[manic sandal]

Totally get it. Our goal isn't to take away functionality but sometimes bugs slip through. If they do, we work fast to rectify them.

As for using work-around methods like the bowl, our goals are to understand how they are being used and figure out how to improve our gameplay so that it's easier for more people to achieve the same design. This takes much longer to accomplish but over time we make changes for the better here.

[pseudo portal]

I hope I'm in the right place, but my houses (the new ones) don't have the ivy and I think some of the windows even after picking them all up and them separating in storage... also all the rooms are renamed to base (I assume that's because its the add ons - chimney, twisters columns - that initially differentiate them. But I am missing bits of the add ons 😞 I apologise if this has already been discussed.

[manic sandal]

Yeah so this is intended. When you pickup a Cottage A or B the decor is sent to inventory/storage and the housing asset becomes a base model.

You can then use the decor to decorate the base yourself!

[signal thunder]

well with the bowl for example it works for merging items but is also a key item to making steps with pavers. it allows the pavers to be stacked and then the bowls are removed for the look of "floating" stairs

[pseudo portal]

That makes sense, but I am missing the ivy decor for certain, and I think some windows.... but I'm not sure how many come with each

[heady spoke]

Plates still work but u need to stack 3

[manic sandal]

If you've checked your inventory/storage and are missing assets please open a support ticket and they can help get it sorted.

[woven pollen]

If there are problems with some glitches like floating objects I'd love to see the option to give objects height via the scroll wheel for example.
But I might be a bit too needy here

[pseudo portal]

Thank you, and thank you for taking the time to reply x

[manic sandal]

Totally. More controls over how you decorate your house are desired for sure, figuring out how to implement them so they function across devices is a bit tricky.

[vital rapids]

well to explain the bowl 'glitch':
it was small enough that the game recognized the grid under it, yet added the height of the bowl to the position of the item u placed. players used it to bump items but still were able to remove it because it connected to the grid under them.
same worked for some wall items like the kilima banner for example. basically everything that wasnt too big.

[manic sandal]

Understood. What's really happening here is that the collision is being manipulated and as we improve systems that make collision checks, things like this might change as it was never intended to function in this way to begin with.

The real ask here is to be able to have more controls to adjust position within 3d space.

[inner cobalt]

If anyone is looking for the makeshift rug, I have it here

[vital rapids]

exactly. more controls to adjust positions would also replace glitches like floating which more or less exploits a similar thing (different clientside position than serverside -> huge position difference after a sync)

[signal thunder]

its nice to have someone in here from the team talking with us cause it really makes us all feel good that our ideas and concerns are being addressed and not just put to the side

[manic sandal]

Totally. It's easier said than done though but we're aware of the desire for these things. Just takes time to figure out how.

[vital rapids]

I absolutley get that. I'd have no clue how to make that accessible (in a easy way) to players :x
but nice to hear that you are aware

[manic sandal]

Alright folks, I gotta get back to the housing plot and whip up some more content for y'all. I'll be popping in periodically to listen/respond to feedback and issues though don't worry.

[wooden dock]

So what I'm hearing is that I shouldn't move my sideways books from my tables

[signal thunder]

thank you so much for taking the time away to address our concerns! much love to everyone on the team!!

[signal thunder]

DO NOT TOUCH THEM!!!

[wooden dock]

Thank you so much for dropping by! Even though I was nervous there for a sec

[heady spoke]

Plates still work. In case nobody saw me say it earlier lol

[wooden dock]

Lifesaver 🥹

[signal thunder]

great i broke my curtain glitch wall haha

[heady spoke]

Just know they don't work like bowls and whatever u sit on top is anchored to it

and for books that u don't want an anchor for, use cutlery with ur shelf/table turned on it's side

[rich atlas]

Is there a way to move the stables board to another place?

[signal thunder]

nope its bugged too lol

[rich atlas]

Nooo 😭 its in the middle of my plot... 😭

[signal thunder]

so are a couple other peoples

[heady spoke]

I take it back cutlery is broken now too. Just tried it to be sure

U can use it at a small angle to tilt, but can't place on them anymore to lay completely flat

But soup bowls still work if u mash the placement button as it turns green

tho it connects like this... So u need cancel placement to do this now so they don't sink into the surface. Might as well just use the plate at that point.

[vital rapids]

hmm, we will have to find workarounds for the sunken terraces / floors too, could get hard tho
placing stuff oob will get quite annoying with that change.

[signal thunder]

poor seth he got some bombarded lol

[stable verge]

is there a way to fix not being able to go through the alchemy doorway bug?

[signal thunder]

never heard of that bug

[vital rapids]

patches like that have to be a nightmare lmao.
and on top all of the new content with obviously has issues, u got us glitching every 2nd item xd

[stray anchor]

Selecting the door option again on that wall fixes it for me. (unless you mean the front door then idk that hasn't bugged for me)

[crimson mica]

it wont let me place lights on a "patio" like this picture.. ?

[signal thunder]

probably went back and told them to never let him do that again haha

[signal thunder]

you need to flick them on top if you are on pc

[vital rapids]

welcome to palias promotion images. do not trust em.. ever

[crimson mica]

thats annoying

why advertise it that way haha

[stable verge]

AH this worked, thank you!!

[stray anchor]

(Still yearning for those rounded wall end-caps from that first house promo image)

[vital rapids]

well.. its built in-engine not ingame. they dont have the same restrictions.. who ever built that probably just didnt know

[languid badge]

tell the bank i hav to rob to hav money, sucks to be poor in this game (btw I love the game, ok!)

[stable verge]

omgggg that with a bay window 😍 ripppp

[vital rapids]

still love the obvious photoshop on the right baywindow

[crimson mica]

i joined a few sashimi partys to prepare for this update haha

[languid badge]

give me the location and I will kill Scyla myself to sell Sashimi, my war start now

[ebon rune]

Is there a way to remove the ceiling inside of the alchemist cottage?

[vital rapids]

tbh. i am quite happy that the alchemist set didnt get me excited once I tested it ingame.
got enough fish stew for the next few updates.. the spooky and winter decor wont be cheap 😂 wont have to do more cooking parties for that

[spare falcon]

For the alchemist cottage we can only attach 10 houses together right? Like that’s the max?

Dang, im gonna have to grind to get money for a big house….😭

[ebon rune]

I should specify for a one story house. I know how to when you stack another house on top. For some reason I thought you could remove the ceiling to get vaulted ceilings

[spare falcon]

Oh yeah no there’s no way to remove that rn u.u

[ebon rune]

Rahhhhhh

[spare falcon]

Yeah, sucks cuz it makes the house feel much smaller on its own hh

[crimson mica]

you can remove the ceiling to get vaulted ceilings

[ebon rune]

How tho

[crimson mica]

you put a second story on and then remove the floor

[ebon rune]

That's not what I asked...

I just want it on a one story house

[crimson mica]

"for some reason I thought you could remove the ceiling to get vaulted ceilings"...

[ebon rune]

I specifically said not for 2 story's lol

[crimson mica]

that doesnt really work that way... lol

[ebon rune]

Yeah 😊

That's not the emoji I wanted LMAO

[spare falcon]

Tbh it should’ve came vaulted to begin with like the harvest houses do, but like give an option to have a ceiling if you wanted it 😭

[signal thunder]

managed to atleast get this door lol

[terse crown]

what are the requirements to buy alchemist cottage b? it's telling me requirements not met

[vital rapids]

well just in case u are reading it at some point:
since we spoke about collision checks, is there any chance u/yall plan on adding some way to ignore (some) collision too? A toggle like grid enabled/disabled which ignores 'somethings in the way' would be already HUGE and probably more than enough for most players. currently players bypass that check using group select and a small item on top of the item, but that only works for items with placeable surface (well and only allows moving items into eachother to some degree).

[signal thunder]

buy the one that you can then itll unlock the others

[terse crown]

thanks!

[signal thunder]

why does the grow all out collection have to take so long i need 8 tables and so far only have 1 😭

[brazen tundra]

Raising from the dead to second this sentiment.

[dawn socket]

Buy A first to get the othet things to unlock (Which was a dumb move... XD)

[deep scaffold]

wooow how did you make the bay windows? 😍

[mossy storm]

[terse crown]

i hope they edit it so it says thats what you have to do LOL that was my best guess, but i didnt wanna waste 45k gold just in case

[vital rapids]

tbh. they should just remove the base room as buy option and let u buy A or B how ever u like to.
the base room is useless anyways since there is no other way to get the attachments.

[dawn socket]

They should have, yes...

[weak basin]

Uh... does the cottage A and B turn into basic rooms for anybody else when just trying to play around with them? I bought 1 A, 1 B and 1 Basic room to start playing around. After a while I realized I had 2 Basic rooms and the cottage B. Thought to myself I probably misclicked. Bought another A. Now they're all basic rooms.

[vital rapids]

A/B are base rooms with attachements. so thats correct. u should have ur windows/ivy/roof parts in your inventory or storage just look for alchemist

[spare relic]

Guys I’m in the making of a fish aquarium room is their a way to get the fish tanks closer together

[vital rapids]

tiny bit if u place a gourmet dessert plate/bowl on top and use group select on it

[weak basin]

And I do have them. But putting them back on just.. doesn't work? Doesn't it look awkward as hecc? Does the original look like that and I didn't notice?

[vital rapids]

I dont have any prebuilt package left, but I'd say that looks as expected. (but I also dont really use em' not a big fan ngl)

[spare relic]

I got it I use the gourmet bowl and use the glitch 😊

[feral cape]

I managed to finish my shift and read through all this on my small breaks XD so, time to research new collision stuff huh...

[heavy lake]

i just realized the doors on alchemist houses only open outwards and am slightly annoyed lol

[vital rapids]

well, not that much to research. collision checks work a lot better now. (which is bad for us xD)
basically everything that found a grid under something else doesnt work anymore.
bumping with wall items, desert items, placing stuff on sunken terraces / floors.

[merry depot]

how do you put fences inside houses

[feral cape]

Oml I scrolled so much knowing I wanted to respond to sth u wrote and u reminded me just now xd

[heady spoke]

#🏡│decor message

[merry depot]

I'm in decor

[vital rapids]

probably pushing terraces under the house to place ground item only items wont work too. (didnt try tho)

[heady spoke]

It's an explanation of how to do it that I gave yesterday lol

[fading jungle]

May I come visit you sometime in game? Or is this on the board? It seems very similar to how I'd want mine laid out and would love to get some inspo

[merry depot]

oh hahaha, sorry bit thick today

[heady spoke]

If u scroll further down I posted pics too

[feral cape]

More for all than u bc u probably know but best option is keeping a tiny bit of terrace surface texture only visible to put stuff out of bounds

[wooden dock]

sure, just drop on by ^^ im working on it now. Just add me

[iron maple]

time to try to remember how to flick so i can make my kitchen

[feral cape]

For ground only under houses it's not that obvious for me tbh but needs testing (by testing new collision I meant finding fixes or maybe new stuff too, who knows)

[heady spoke]

I'm still waiting for my money to come in so I can buy set B... The grind is rl

I keep buying Pekis tho XD

[frank warren]

did they fix flicking in the update?

[vital rapids]

yeah i am not even sure if testing is worth it atm.
with the broken wall items they will change the way it works anyways. the question is what exactly they will change..

[merry depot]

oh, that looks brainy so it may have to wait until I have one lol

[fading jungle]

Ain't that the truth. I'm dreading remaking the water on my plot whenever I finish new trophy plot and have to adjust things 😩

[heady spoke]

U can't flick some stuff on others now. I tried flicking a wall item on a paver yesterday and no go. A plate still works tho

[feral cape]

I have 3, the first ones...all named "peki"... I'm the worst rancher here xd

[heady spoke]

I've only been naming the ones I wanna keep. All else r Peki, lol

[fading jungle]

A bit busy for the next little bit, but if you're still on later or maybe tomorrow I'd love to thank you so much!

[vital rapids]

worst case, try it out of bounds and / or with an upside down anchor. annoying but works for basically everything

[merry depot]

I haven't done much glitching but I agree water etc. would have been awesome. I'm a bit underwhelmed by alch stuff but I guess it will grow

[wooden dock]

Tomorrow then I suppose, its 01:23 at night here, and been at work, but hey, I'm in the zone for now XD

[feral cape]

U too, huh (same zone even xd)

Time zone* xd

[wooden dock]

Ey! Yeah I've been wanting to bug this cottage all day XD So here I am, dead tired in the dark of night

[pale creek]

yall have any recs for videos that teach the stuff yall are doin?

[feral cape]

Team...whatever this is xd yay

[vital rapids]

the only real bug I managed to achieve with the cottage is getting it to float. found like 3 different ways but nothing else 😂

[delicate ridge]

its just the camera angle but it popped up like that and it scared me

[rain sandal]

is everyone feeling abit laggy after update?in decorating mode

[fading jungle]

Sound alike a plan 😂

[vital rapids]

fps went down a bit at least it feels like it, sadly didnt keep track..

[feral cape]

Oml YES (and just before)

[rain sandal]

yea i feel the lag thought it was just me must be the update hope they see this and fix!

[flat shuttle]

Does anyone have a plot up that I can visit using the new housing parts?

[feral cape]

I feel like it felt sometimes inside my 3500 blocks build with already over 5k on item limit xd just right now I'm not even close

[heady spoke]

I grew my Samaras but they aren't ornage like someone showed the other day

[feral cape]

And won't be ;_;

[heady spoke]

Was it a bug, or trolling?

[vital rapids]

at this point I question how u even play this game with the hardware u wrote a bit ago. XD
i am sitting at 50fps on my 3k item plot with a way better PC.. guess at some point I'll have to turn down some setttings.

[feral cape]

Bug

[heady spoke]

I dont even remember who posted it lol thats why I aksed. They're lucky tho. I wish I had orange trees

[forest bay]

If only they would just let us place things where we want them without needing glitches

[vital rapids]

only happens to specific grow stage of flow brich trees, 100% a bug

[heady spoke]

I'm gonna try and catch a bug then I guess XD

[feral cape]

Tbh I have all around a very balanced set up and it gives a lot, also I noticed a big change when in windowed full screen and obv back at dx11 changed through files, not game interface

(on the highest graphic settings too XD)

[vital rapids]

guess I could try dx11, welp some time in the future when its unplayable because i am lazy

[feral cape]

It was for me from unplayable to smoooooth

[vital rapids]

as long as its not a powerpoint presentation its fiine 😂

[feral cape]

If u are on steam it's one click I heard

[inland tinsel]

is there any word on them making alchemist cottage b available without getting A first or do we just burn 100 for the good one?

[wooden dock]

Many! Give me like 5 min max to compile them all XD
