When you block someone it blocks messages from them and many other things, and reduces how often you'll see them on the same server. There's currently a bug in matchmaking that will sometimes put you on their server and we've got a fix implemented and on the way. I don't have an exact date about when the fix will be validated and released but hopefully in the next month

Hi, everyone~
With Patch 0.179 coming soonTM (#📢│palia-news message) here are some reminders/clarifications:

  • Mount Frogbert will be leaving...alas, he must go onto greater ventures. Use this time to say bye and take screenshots before he's gone!
  • We will be fixing the drop of The Order Sernuk Plush to properly by the Proudhorn Sernuk Plush! (And just in case, please know these drops are a permanent addition to the game~)

We were able to deploy the improvement to reduce how often you're matched with people you've blocked with 179 last week. That should help some of the most common situations we saw but there are still some difficult situations like this one if you have both friends and blocked players on a server

HI folks. I'm going to give some context of how this event started.

About 70% of the emojis on this server are made by fans, and voluntary/with their permission. However, it was done in a very sporadic way and I wanted to do so something that ensured people had the visibility and fair opportunity to get their emojis added, but also understanding we have limited spots and couldn't just add every submission that gets requested.

That said, I will talk to the team and see if we're able to offer some sort of reward. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi folks! Happy to share that some contest details. Winners will now receive the following rewards:

So with this current situation, here's my stance on things:

S6 neither endorses nor discourages 3rd party tools and sites as long as they're in players' best interests. This currently includes Adain's site and tools. I personally use Paliapedia all the time. But we do not and cannot endorse it because we have no ability to vet it. So as with all applications, use at your own risk. Adain and I have talked about that specifically and he thinks it makes sense, but he can always speak for himself as well. So there's no enforced S6 action against Adain's stuff.

At the same time, community rules are their own thing. Communities need to have their own rules for what's acceptable behavior, and those rules are specific to keeping that community healthy and need to determined specifically to support that mission. These rules are completely unrelated to what S6 supports or not in the 3rd party ecosystem. Different environments require different structures, and there will be idiosyncrasies. In the case here, there are rules on Reddit about advertising, and the mods felt that the post today was in violation. I don't actually have any official role with the subreddit, but I think that's a fair assessment personally.

So to summarize, S6 has no problem with Adain's app currently (but that is not an endorsement) and S6 has no problem with the actions taken by the subreddit, nor do we have power there regardless.

If Adain and the subreddit come to some special arrangement, that's up to them. Again, I don't have say there.

Moving forward, we'll likely need to add some clarity here in Discord about what counts as advertising (here in Discord, which again, will not be the same as on Reddit - that's up to them). I have some drafts for the nuances of what S6 would be against vis-a-vis 3rd party tools, but that'll take more beating up before I can share.

From here, I'd like to facilitate further discussions directly with Adain and the mods if there's continued misalignment between them. I think that's the best way to move f...

A place like what? The "hidden" area on the default plot? There a bunch of the Landscapes have their own points of interest.

I don't think we are painted in a corner. For one, folks will always have access to the default plot so if we do any updates there, it's not like folks with landscapes will lose them. There's probably some functionality we'll want to add to the landscapes if we add it to the default plot, but it probably depends on the specifics. But they're largely built in a way that inherits a bunch of tech from the default plot so hopefully any updates aren't difficult to spread to them too.

woeful shaleBOT
#
wizardcrab

Yeah let me look into this. Unfortunately at this stage I don't think a hotfix is possible. I believe Nintendo is closed down for end of year so we can't add any new patches till January. But messaging might be possible.

All this is difficult because this patch was locked prior to the last patch going out. This is always the case - any feedback typically means at least 2 months before it can reasonably be implemented. That doesn't excuse us missing this from last year though. I'm going to dig in with the team and figure out what happened so this doesn't happen again.

I think that’s totally fair. The frustrating thing about community management is that there are things you can say and things you can’t. One of the first rules is to not talk about things that are unconfirmed. But silence also sucks so here’s the thing I’ll say that is 100% against the first rule of community management to say:

We are in fact working on a hotfix to fix the snowball flash (and the chat issues for that matter). This would be a PC only hotfix because there’s nothing we can do about Nintendo. It’s been an extremely long time since we’ve put out a hotfix for some but not all platforms, and I cannot promise it’ll work. It’s also right before the holidays so a lot can go wrong. But obviously this problem is egregious enough and devastating enough that we’re making a lot of exceptions try to solve even pieces of it. We’re also looking to update messaging too but that’s also got some complications being across platforms. The patch could be as soon as tomorrow. Or it might just not work. We truly do not know yet. And when it turns out (as it often does in game development) that your fix doesn’t work, we’ll be blasted here for this message. So I’m just crossing my fingers that I don’t regret sending this. But anyway, that’s the update. We’ve also aligned around new systems to much better ensure things like this don’t happen again. It’s not perfect and I’m sure disappointing but it’s all we’ve got right now.

I wish it were that simple. This is a much longer conversation that I can't have here and now, but the dream would obviously be that outfits are earnable for those who can't afford them or won't purchase them and purchasable for those who can and are happy to. But the very very real truth is that much, much stronger games than ours have destroyed their monetization through even the lightest drips of free earning, where a lot of players who would have been happy to spend are more than happy to play for hundreds of hours to avoid spending even a dollar. People who play games like playing games, and the value of feeling like you earned something is really hard to compete with. If we weren't F2P (e.g. subscription), we could do that but without other revenue streams it would destroy us and there would just be no Palia. That sounds extreme and you might want to argue against me and you might be right, but that's the stance and it was not arrived at lightly or without a massive amount of consideration as to the positives AND negatives.

Early in 2025 we're going to be releasing some opportunities to help provide additional options for folks who don't value our cosmetics at their base prices (which has always been the plan but despite the feelings here, we've not funded our monetization features nearly the way we've funded other parts of our game), including some limited options for getting a small amount of Palia coins at a discount, an expansion of sales and discounts to help people find prices that are right for them, and some very limited premium gifting options. But earning our current premium outfits is not under consideration.

wizardcrab

We're talking about having our professional game capture artists, video editors, and graphic designers, etc, load up people's plots on our dev server to take high quality captures where it makes sense. There's a lot of work involved here - it'd be wayyyy easier to just continue to do what we've been doing. This just seems like it would be a more authentic way to show off what palia is compared to the model homes we build. We're not trying to just steal people's pictures to stick on a store page, that'd be silly.

woeful shaleBOT
#
wizardcrab

Sure. We 100% apologize for the miscommunications and the impacts they've caused. Especially since the second miscommunication talking about it being a snail that it wasn't after the first one with the snail that wasn't in the game makes it all feel particularly frustrating. And then further I can see how frustrating the silence would be after that and how that would make it seem like we didn't care or weren't listening and I apologize for that too.

I can offer this apology, but I can't offer a solution yet. To do that right now would be pretty disingenuous, since I haven't done any root cause analysis nor have I investigated what it would take to get the original snail in the game - I don't know what was wrong with it. But I can promise to go find answers to those questions and come back to you with some.

I know it's not the best apology because actions are what matter but it's the best I can offer in this moment, and I promise it is genuine.

We're exploring different stuff. The Umbral Wol will come back at some point. The feeling of exclusivity, while not my favorite thing to support broadly, has its role and a lot of people love it. We want to explore making items that appeal to a lot of different people with a lot of preferences, so we'll try stuff. It isn't and won't be the norm though.

As a heads up, the purple maji plush associated with the promotion will be generally available after the promotion - mostly. The one with the promotion is called the Madrinas Maji Plush and the other one will be identical but called something else, like the Purple Maji Plush or something I don't remember. We're not trying to lock people out of the purple plush overall.

There have always been plans for this! But when it fits in is another story. But we'll definitely share when things are shaping up to be more concrete when we are able to slot this in for serious development.

#
wizardcrab

Yeah we want to make a public one. As a startup it was pretty hard to feel good about a roadmap because there was too much potential for variability. Now that things are more stable a roadmap makes a ton of sense. Timing wise probably with/after elderwood though.

Well hopefully this helps: we're making a public roadmap! It'll probably go live sometime around elderwood, maybe a bit before.

Sorry let me be clear:

I've seen the millions of posts about the VFX toggle. I've even responded to some. I know that it was in a patch notes and scrubbed. What I'm clarifying here is:

  1. I didn't think folks took that as having an expectation that the feature had been developed already - it hasn't
  2. I didn't think folks took that as "S6 promised us this feature" - we didn't

That's it. I know it's a very important thing to a lot of people and I haven't missed how often it's been talked about or how frutstrating it was that it was in patch notes and then removed.

#
wizardcrab

It never existed. Pure internal miscommunication around a completely different feature.

Yup! and all outfits are the same odds, so getting a Stellar Sorcery outfit (a 3400 coin item) is just as likely as getting a Bookworm Outfit (an 850 Coin item). For folks who like this sort of thing is a pretty great deal.

Real quick - We'll be making an announcement later today so it's broadly seen, but just for now for the folks here, moving forward we'll be considering explicitly trading plushies for mystery to be against TOS. Now, we don't want to accidentally ban people who happen to be gifting legitimately with new friends, so we'll be looking at patterns and things to ensure we're just dealing with actual abusers. We'll also disallow talking about trading mystery in the trading channel (and similarly looking for those discussions in in-game chat). We'll also be announcing to ensure people know to report it through our support tickets, not through the discord, since our mods here can't do anything about it.

For full transparency, we went back and forth about giving out claw machine tokens and prize wheel coins, but ended up going with Prize wheel coins because the Maji Market isn't scheduled for a while and we wanted players to be able to use their Twitch Drops as soon as they get them.

I was able to get an answer from the gameplay team surrounding honeylure changes.

  • Twitch drops are not granting the intended rewards.

  • Nintendo Switch users report lag while in Docked mode, especially in the Elderwood. While under we investigate this issue, we recommend playing in Handheld mode.

  • The Nurture of Shadows quest is bugged, as players cannot place the Gardener Hub.

  • Anniversary Plush login rewards may take longer than expected to arrive for some players.

  • Some players report sudden baldness. Possible fixes include using the wardrobe, visiting Jel's shop, or simply walking around. The issue usually resolves itself over time.

  • Some players are reporting that the Elderwood Piksii Blossom Bounce event and Kilima Flower Bloom event are not triggering on their servers. Please see this post for temporary fixes. #💬│palia-general message

To answer your earlier question, Palia coins generally are platform locked but PC coins are shared across our launcher and Steam.

With regards to feedback, we certainly do listen. I forward feedback from various sources (this Discord, Reddit, Forms, etc) on a daily basis.

Hey folks, I've confirmed with the team that the new Madrinas plush will be available for in-game acquisition via Zeki's. This could be as early as Patch 0.199.

woeful shaleBOT
#
milissa.

Considering that these rewards go to all players, new and experienced alike, the goal is to provide prizes that are reasonably exciting for everyone without significantly affecting gameplay for newer players. Giving high-value items that already exist in the game can disrupt the early game experience.

The vote for the new plush also leans into rewarding more experienced players / players who have been a part of Palia for a while, since it is not an existing in-game item, but players get the ability to collectively choose the direction of a new item that goes into the game.

That being said, we did listen to the feedback from Insect-A-Palooza about wanting a variety of rewards from the last community event. We tried to include a mix of consumables (fertilizer), decor (planters and the sandbox signs), food (pumpkin pie), and plush (claw machine). And of course, the vote for the jam plush.

That being said, It's definitely a fine balance for trying to plan rewards. We are looking at hosting more frequent community events and the feedback is appreciated!

woeful shaleBOT
#
milissa.

The feedback has very much been raised to the team. Unfortunately, it was just too short notice for the event to have placeable jams (that surprisingly take a lot of tech and planning work) be a reward. But rest assured, the team is now very aware of the want for them though.

Based on feedback earlier this month, we learned that some players found it difficult to access the Congee since it was tied to friendship with a specific NPC and needed for the bulletin board quest.

Hey folks, confirming that the Lucky Traveler outfits hair should be color-changeable. Team is taking a look into a fix for it. Thank you for those that gave a heads up!

woeful shaleBOT
#
wizardcrab

As a heads up I don't think this is exactly right, but not necessarily too far off. I think there might be some 850s not included here in that 33148 figure?

But more importantly, I just wanted to clear up quickly for anyone reading this thread the interaction between Bundle prices and Set Discounts (the thing you get for buying a second Outfit in the same Set - e.g. buying Bookwork - Poetry after already owning Bookworm - Nonfiction).

It's not intended that you can stack these discounts - it leads to some pretty wacky prices. Currently there's a bug where you get both discounts in some instances - specicially when you buy a Bundle that contains any items that you already have a Set Discount on. That means for those items in the Fashion Megabundle, instead of paying 850 x 70% off = 255 Coins, you're only paying 850 x 70% off x 50% Set Discount = 127.5 Coins. That's fine and that's in line with how your calculating the price here.

But if you don't own any of the items in the Set when you buy the bundle, the Set Discount never triggers and you would pay the normal 850 x 70% off = 255 Coins for each outfit.

Said more plainly:

  • If you own no items in a 3-item Set in the Bundle, you pay: 850 x 70% off = 255 x 3 outfits = 765 Coins for all 3
  • If you own 1 item in a 3-item Set in the Bundle, you pay: 850 x 70% off x 50% Set Discount = 127.5 x 2 outfits = 255 Coins for the remaining 2 outfits
  • If you own 2 items in a 3-item Set in the Bundle, you pay: 850 x 70% off x 50% Set Discount = 127.5 x 1 outfit = 127.5 Coins for the remaining outfit

I know this bug is confusing, but it hasn't been a big issue so far and it only benefits players so it isn't a big priority. Bundles have been going over really well recently, so we'd like to do more, but that may mean we have to clean up some of these interactions at some point. But right now it's only a benefit to certain players, so it isn't a high priority.

And in case you're curious, it's still never worth it to buy the item individually to get the discount in ...

You level up the Lunar Path by earning Lunar XP with in game stuff, and you upgrade to the Premium version of the Path with Palia coins. The Path has a bunch of free stuff and a bunch of premium stuff.

#

We'll make a bunch of different Lunar Paths. Each one will have different content, number of levels, and different price points. They don't expire, so you're just going to be picking one to be active at a time.

It's hard because we need to make sure it can appeal to players of all types, new or old. 90 heartwood and 40 iron ore aren't important to late game players, but those are the materials required to craft the new Estate line main house piece. And we didn't want folks to get this housing piece and then be nowhere near the place where they can use it. On the other hand, free players also get the Home Line Upgrade through the free part of the pass which especially applies to later game players and hopefully is pretty exciting for big decorators.

The final price of the Path of the Kitsuu is actually 1975 Palia Coins by the way, and on the premium side you get over 8000 Palia coins worth of content. Not saying it's going to be the right price for everyone, but it should hopefully feel like a great deal if you even like some of the content in there.

Maybe the wording here needs tuning. When we say "May be wiped" it is not an action we would take unless it was potentially destructive to the game, rather you are stressing systems in a way that aren't currently supported and in doing so you may find yourself destroying your plot data to a point where it is unrecoverable.

We’re actively working on improving how we share news in game, including announcements like the Lunar Path update I posted last night. With the current patch, we don’t currently have a way to publish immediate, real-time announcements directly in game .

#📢│palia-news message

The Discord announcement that I posted at 8PM last night was a "it is late...let’s get the clarification out as soon as possible". Obviously we want to get the information out there (I was happy to see it crossposted to Reddit).

The feedback about wanting more ingame news is valid. I’ve been advocating for this hard internally, especially with the requests around community event updates. However, as mentioned in the Palia Path video, we’re continuing to iterate and add functionality on ingame announcements, and the first version of that system is already live on the login screen.

Regarding why the messaging wasn’t clearer in game: the team shared that improved in game wording was actually prepared, but due to a last minute unintentional change, it didn’t make it in. The team said that they're working on a fix/update so the explanation is much clearer in game. Our Support team has also been fully briefed as of this morning, so if you were affected, please feel free to reach out.

Fair and me too! I had discussed this earlier but there's so many messages in discord that it's impossible to see everything.

Window transparency requires cutting out segments of the wall, which requires bespoke collision, meshing, etc. It's not as easy as player may think it is to do this. That's why on the Harvest House there was a fixed location on the wall where windows could anchor to and we could pre-determine the wall cutout used for those windows.

The feedback at that time was "We wish we could have more window types and placement locations" so we moved windows off of the buildings system (Alterations and Add-Ons) to the decor system.

This posed a new problem, how do we cut out the wall for transparency. This problem was too big to tackle at the time but it's still something we think about regularly.

Ultimately I think our goal is to find a good middle ground between the two. We want the flexibility of placement and diversity of styles, but we also want to be able to cut out the walls in a way that is scalable and sustainable. I'm sure we will continue to experiment and noodle on this problem space until we find that "just right" solution.

#
s6seth

We haven't actually removed any building glitches but since they are not supported native gameplay, if we change something for another feature that leverages that code base it's possible those glitches become harder to use.

Long term, our goal is to understand what players use glitches for and support it as native gameplay as we improve systems.

The only time we will intervene is when a creative use of a game mechanic becomes detrimental to the health of the game, for instance enfrocing the building limit.

This exists due to performance on a broad spectrum of devices we support. Some devices, like the switch, only have 4GB or RAM and can render up to 30FPS. We have to be mindful of this but as we improve the game, we move to alleviate some of these pain points. It's just hard, really hard, to find a good "one size fits all solution".

Rest assured, we want to give you an unlimited decor limit as much as you want it but it's just not feasible so we need to find the right solution to unlock players to do more on any given plot.

Part of the reason for the server merge feature is actually to fix lag for players. When servers are 'on' for a long time - they start to degrade in performance. When older servers are merged to newer ones, it's able to shut down the long-running servers that may experience more lag.

woeful shaleBOT
#
milissa.

Hey folks, if you are still getting the sleepy notification, it means that you are on a server that was created before we paused the server merging feature.

The server reset time is variable and is something we will continuously tune based on how we see players affected.

Well you'd be happy to know that we're well aware of the improvements the community would like to see in our placement systems and have been working towards supporting many of the core glitches as native gameplay.

It's an interesting topic you bring up.

Often times game developers are working 2-3 releases out from what players have.

For example, release 0.200 was being worked on throughout Q3-Q4 of 2025 but didn't release until 2/3/2026.

This is due to a plethora of factors such as development time, holidays/outages, quality checks and certification processes.

These rails exist to ensure the end product we deliver to players meets the high standards we have for shipping new content in Palia on multiple platforms simultaneously.

While we try our best to keep a consistent pace of delivering content at a monthly cadence, sometimes we need a little more time to cook for any number of the reasons I stated above.

That being said, I think players will really like what we've been whipping up in the kitchen. I've been in awe of what the team has accomplished over the past few months and can't wait to see how the community reacts.

Generally when we make a change like moving the Alchemist Cottage line to the pass it's due to feedback the community has given us.

In this case, we tried 2 acquisition paths between Alchemist and the Estate line and the community overwhelmingly liked how the Estate line was acquired vs the Alchemist line.

It was a strong indicator for us to move the Alchemist line towards this model so that it was more accessible for everyone.

One of the tradeoffs from the Harvest Home approach to the Cottage approach is the wall cutouts.

The Harvest Home has set anchor points which allow us to cut out a specific location in a wall, allowing for multiple sized rooms to anchor so long as we create a bespoke wall to support it.

This approach isn't scalable in the way the community wants to use our housing features.

The Cottage approach gives us much more customizable flexibility, however, we have to build new systems to support additional gameplay.

Tradeoffs are hard but ultimately we know we're on the right path.

For vis, the Bluebonnet tint accidentally slipped through. It's not acquirable in this patch.

The other 2 are still acquired via bundle board. Sorry for the confusion!

Howdy folks,

The team is aware of an issue affecting photos taken with the in-game photo mode feature, particularly for players located in certain regions. We’ve identified the root cause and confirmed that the photos are still intact. A fix is currently in progress, and we have an ETA for it to be deployed tomorrow.

Hi folks, the team has put out a fix that should allow for folks to access/view their old photos (pre- photo mode update).

Hey folks, we’ll have more official communication about it soon, but please know that the bobblehead is not a permanent thing!

For those in APAC regions, happy April 1st. For those who it is not yet April 1st, like us in the USA, we’ll be celebrating officially tomorrow.

In either case, please be respectful in any communication to each other and mind the rules of the Discord. majicare

We refer players to our EULA/Terms of Service regarding third-party resources and want to be clear that Singularity 6 does not officially condone or specifically approve of any non-official resource. While we understand that some tools can be helpful and don't violate TOS, all non-official Singularity 6 resources are used completely at the players own risk and use of them must comply with our Terms of Service.

Because third-party tools are constantly evolving, a tool that is compliant with the EULA or Terms of Service at one point in time may become non-compliant after future updates, and we are not able to officially monitor or verify their safety or functionality over time. This is also why we do not allow discussion of many of these tools in our official Discord channel. Players who choose to use non-official resources do so at their own risk. We also reserve the right to take action if the use of any third-party resource is found to be in violation of our Terms of Service.

We’re hearing some reports of players on PlayStation unable to connect, with some being prompted for PlayStation Plus.

It looks like there may be a service issue with PlayStation, but we’re trying to verify.

PlayStation Plus is not required to play Palia, and we have no plans to change that.

If there’s anyone that is successfully logging in on PlayStation, please let us know so we can monitor improvements.

To fix the ground graphic checkerboard issue on Steam:

  • Right Click Palia
  • Go to properties
  • Under general there is a launch option
  • Remove -d3d11

This will play the game on DirectX 12 and should resolve the floor texture issue.

We're actively working with Xbox to get a fix out to players and return to service. Unfortunately it's not a set time frame which is why it's hard to provide any sort of ETA. There's a lot of variables in this process.

Hi folks, here is a quick FAQ for some of the frequently seen questions:

Q: I can’t ride my horse, even though I have completed “||Before the Dawn||”!
A: Go to your collections menu and unequip the Dawnspur. Alternatively, go to your Retirement Acres and un-retire your Dawnspur. Either of these should fix the issue!

Q: Why is half my Highlands a grey checkerboard?
A: Some players are finding success in changing from DX11 to DX12 in their settings. This is not fixing the issue for everyone, however. We’re investigating a permanent fix on our end!

Q: I completed “||Before the Dawn||”, but my “The Royal Highlands” quest is stuck on the step to “||Complete Before the Dawn||”.
A: Contact Player Support. They’ll be able to fix you up!

Q: How do I get Amber Echo?
A: You need to complete “||A Stitch in Time||” to the point where ||Eshelon gives you access to Amber Echo||. Before that point, you can break the rocks but won’t get any echo resources from it!

Hey folks, we have some additional FAQ and answers:

Q: I can’t purchase ||Eloine/Halward/etc Blessing recipes||!
A: Unequip the blessing from your currently equipped relic slot, and you should be able to purchase the recipe!

Q: Is the Highland Champion outfit included in the Supporter Packs?
A: No, it was a mistake in the description in the Highland Champion outfit in the store and has been fixed. The full list of items under the Supporter Packs themselves is correct.

Q: I haven’t received my cosmetics/items/etc after purchasing the Supporter Pack from the Steam page!
A: First, make sure to check the News Tab to ensure that they haven’t arrived there. Then try logging out and back in to see if that fixes the issue. If that still doesn’t solve it, please reach out to Player Support.
