[Areo'Nin]

Ok ive been looking though the screenshot section and i noticed im missing some characters in game how come i have not met these people yet and whats the deal ( i mean im meant to be able to friends these pets and people but how can i when i have not seen them yet i done quest related to them)

Pebbles - Never seen him ever in my whole play-though and to date
Sandy - Is the camel that walks the streets with a loud speaker
coco - is the owl i got him
banjo - is the cat i got him
Nemo - is the dog i got him
Meekat - have done Big Game Hunter Quest ages ago yet i still have not met him
Fennic Fox - Im not a kickstarter so i understand why i havent got that one

Machiota MIght be a kickstarter pet.

Pebbles is Rocky and Crystal's kid (I never bothered to look for him in latest update, Krystal is no longer nailed to her porch and seems to be wandering by the Salvage Yard

Meekrat is part of Elsie's Story.

Sandy is a camel that wanders the town (Lives out past the Graveyard in a Manger).

Coco lives at a nest to the southwest on the eastern end of the Shonash Canyon (you can build a platform to it) but wanders along the Train Tracks and near your Workshop.

Nemo definately is found near the Plaza in Town.

Let us know if I missed anyone.

I am going to look for Pebbles.

Don't think so, the 80 dollar kickstarter exclusive pet is the Fennic Fox. Which doesn't seem to have a name.

But since the other image is out in the open now, Macchiato matches the cat with the purple collar in the last week's press images.

I'm guessing Pebbles is 'missing' (for all of us btw, it's not that you missed him somehow he's just not on screen yet) because the babies in general are not implemented. When they implement the children system for the MC I'm betting he'll finally be seen, as well as the fact that Dan-bi is pregnant. So that'll be for a future big update.

Couldn't find pebbles in my game either, they did add another Bed (likely for Krystal) in Rocky's House.

Amirah's got a Family Picture in her place (Mother, Father, Her and Arvio).

I am going to check out other places and see if more interiors have been updated.

It seems to be the same issue as when they added Dan-bi, Rian and Nemo. Characters seem to only spawn at the beginning of the game. *Or* if they're part of a mission. On my old file, Dan-bi spawned permanently because she became part of a mission. Didn't get the other two so started over.

Not going to do that again this time. Pebbles must be introduced at least when they build the school. And hopefully Meerkat and Macchiato will be involved in some kind of story later so the game will have to spawn them.

keep me updated and let me know if the other pets appear in your new game please buddy i acually want to know this info

[Irrevirre]

Some people say they see Meerkat, I don't. I really wanted to adopt him.

you and me both

[javabow]

Is dev got any response on this issue ?

[tulsare]

yep ditto on meerkat after the quest was finished never saw him again lol

[Emilija]

Meerkat kinda roams round the map tho, i see him from time to time, he is def there just hard to really spot. I would recommend going for Banjo,Captain or Nemo for pets as those 2 can be found at central plaza almost every time,much easier to befriend

On my main file started before the September update, the meerkat is nowhere to be found after finishing Big Game Hunter, but on my secondary file started after the September update, the little dude's been roaming around ever since, so I think it's like what other people were saying that character spawning is locked to a specific point in the game and appears to be a quirk of carrying saves over between updates

I couldn't find Macchiato in my main game (90 hrs) but I started a new game to play around with the new skills and found him hanging around the city hall square on day 2.
