Cornucopia® Patch Notes — February 22, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Cornucopia - Hotfix v9.6
General
Made it so when you jump to get the hidden chests near the zone exit in the Old Mines, you don't fall out of the zone as easily.
Stability & Saves
Fixed several crashes that could occur when loading corrupted or interrupted save files.
Fixed a rare crash caused by pets trying to follow NPCs that had left the area.
Save files now write atomically - if the game crashes mid-save, your data is automatically recovered on next launch.
Fixed alt-tabbing sometimes causing the game to freeze or crash. Switched to borderless fullscreen for better stability.
Fixed alt-tabbing not properly pausing/unpausing the game.
Pets & Animals
Fixed the full pet GUI sometimes showing blank data (no name, wrong stats, missing ability icons) when a pet's skill experience exceeded the display bar limit.
Fixed various pet interactions sometimes referencing the wrong pet, causing incorrect data on the pet page, card effects, spa buffs, and combat.
Fixed blue slimes not showing a hit effect when attacked.
Fixed colts and fillies flickering, showing a tombstone icon, or appearing invisible.
NPCs & Dialog
Fixed NPCs sometimes walking in place or causing cutscenes to break. They now recover automatically if stuck.
Fixed Chicken Festival NPCs incorrectly referencing the Fishing Festival.
Fixed Aderly's tutorial dialog not making sense in certain responses.
Crafting & Fixtures
Fixed crafting recipes sometimes completing even when you didn't have the required materials.
Fixed Furnace queue using wrong recipes and missing speed bonuses.
Fixed Seed Extractor queue producing wrong items and ignoring Wild Root's faster processing time.
Fixed Saw queue giving lumber at incorrect ratios.
Fixed queued fixture items not appearing until you interacted with the fixture again after sleeping.
Fixed tutorial quests not tracking progress for items processed overnight.
Fixed fixture queues (Saw, Furnace, Seed Extractor, etc.) only processing one item per sleep instead of the full queue.
UI & Display
Fixed Furnace tooltip showing stale text from previous items.
Fixed Shipping Bin UI staying open when switching to the brush tool.
Fixed signs not working correctly in the demo.
Fixed the loading screen animation not playing.
Gameplay
Fixed Naomi's foot-stuck event sometimes causing a permanent black screen.
Fixed Cherry Blossom Festival sometimes freezing permanently.
Fixed Lava Caves floor 10 boss room sometimes soft-locking on door entry.
Performance
Removed debug logging from player builds for cleaner performance.
Lots of Love,
David ❤️
