Snacko News — November 27, 2025
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
You know, I've had a few bugs bug me for quite a while now. Here's the big ones that finally got squashed. I hope. Please please please ple
🏊 NPCs Drowning/Missing
NPCs will no longer drown in that one spot that's visible on the map but you can't see them in town
If NPCs end up having a schedule error, they will just aimlessly wander around town instead, like me
Just to be clear, some NPCs, like Mikan or Fiona, do have jobs on the mainland, so they will still be gone for periods of time depending on conditions
😺😺 You've Heard of "No NPCs", What About "Double NPCs"?
NPCs no longer duplicate during cutscenes
You should properly face the person you are talking about instead of the ghost of a duplicated NPC during cutscenes
📫 Mailbox Quality of Life
If you are unable to invite an NPC due to quest restrictions, instead of hiding the options, you will now see (locked) beside the combination or role
If you have invited ALL NPCs with the specific role or personality, they will now show (invited)
I hope this clears up "I got a quest to invite a new friend, but I can't invite anyone (yet)!"
Letters properly now sort by most recently received; I noticed some letters, especially system ones, were being put at the bottom
❌ Quitting is for Quitters
Game "actually" quits out when you select quit
Now it will show "cancel", "quit", and "main menu" instead of just booting you to the main menu
🎮 Controllers Ain't Controllin'!
For those having issues playing the game on controller due to Steam Input issues or controllers not being detected, you can now select "force gamepad input"
This should allow you to use your controller even with Steam Input disabled
🐛 Misc. Bug Fixes
Fixed issue where sometimes, certain tiles would not get highlighted properly in biome farms and not allow you to fertilize
Fixed issue where on loading in, would have default cat (beige) colours instead of your customized ones
