Demo Patch #1 (October 21, 2026)
Bug fixes: House Showcase results no longer send you to the login screen; item fragments combine properly; controller rebinding works; fixed duplicate Pebble and Cliff in the crack-reveal cutscene; lower CPU use during shader preparation; audio rebalanced.
Gameplay and balance:
- Clarified where to find Scrambled Coordinates for Ryder’s quest and raised their drop chance during that step.
- Bloom and Scrambled Coordinates from the Daily Goodies Chest now unlock after Ryder’s intro Adventure quest.
- Solar panels generate more energy in rain and at night.
Tutorial: the Tool Wheel prompt appears during planting and stays up longer, which helps players find their carrot seeds.

Improvements: better dialogue cameras; login auto-retries temporary connection failures; clearer messages when Steam is offline or outdated.
World change: public Garden Beds removed from Loftia City.
Demo Patch #3 (October 24, 2026)
Bug fixes: stuck Adventure antennas; blocked exits in lake-biome gauntlets; better respawning after falling off Adventure islands; blank chat messages; house walls blocking furniture; decorations rotating when grid snapping is off; controller stashing furniture while painting; banners and wall decorations placing reliably; pinning contribution bins.
Which demo fixes still matter?
The Early Access build includes these fixes. They are useful context when an old forum post describes a bug. See the patch notes tracker, the glider questline, and known issues.
