🎊 The Anniversary Update is OUT! 🎊
Roots of Pacha Patch Notes — April 16, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Surprise!
We’ve been busy at work on the second game, but we also wanted to give some love to our first as a thank you to all of you who have stuck with us. We hope you enjoy the quality-of-life improvements and the fun new content we’ve added. There’s no need to restart your saves either. 💕
AND to celebrate, we’re hosting an event in Discord starting Monday, April 20th, with giveaways and activities. We hope to see you there!
Hats For Pets
You can now put hats on your pets. Each pet has 9 possible hats it can wear. Once you collect or trade for that hat, it will appear in the ui. If you haven’t collected it yet, you’ll see an outline that hints at which hats they can wear.
5 New Hats
Get your head into the Yakuans and Mograni lifestyle with 5 new hats. 😉
Tricorne
On The Grow
Bright Idea Hat
Shadowy Hat
Smartinator 3000
More World Interactions (Prosperity Spots)
It’s through your collective prosperity that the clan was able to grow. You can now interact with 3 more prosperity spots:
Resource Storage: Need more hardwood in the late game? Trade softwood or hardwood with Jag daily.
Washing Spot: Normally, Maeri does the laundry, but now you can do it too! Wash your clothes once a week for a charisma buff when talking with others.
Practice Range: Practice your aim at the range. You can play the spear-throwing minigame any time you want.
New Cutscenes
Get to know the stories of two more characters. Explore more of Nann’s backstory or get to know Nokk a little better with 2 and 4 flower cutscenes.
Quality of Life Improvements
Naming farm buildings
Talking to Croll and selecting "manage farm buildings" will allow the player to name Animal and Storage Sheds, Breeding Pen, and Granary.
Additional Learning Station
Reaching 600k prosperity will unlock a fifth learning station.
Animal UI Discoveries Tab
Now you can track which animal variants have been tamed using the new icon below each animal's name in the Animal Discovery tab. Also, rare and legendary animals will show a different background color in the same tab.
More Kitchen Storage Slots
House stage 2 expanded food storage from 16 to 40 spots, and after developing the cold storage idea will now be 96!
Cooking Collection
Now, the cooking collection has all dish placeholders from the beginning, including those recipes you need to receive in the middle or late game.
We hope you enjoy this little update celebrating another trip around the sun for Roots of Pacha. Thank you for being a part of that journey!
You Rock!
