Spring Update launched. Should the Dig Site be available now?

[Deputy Dawg]

I'm really excited to explore all the new content that launched with the Spring Update.

However, I expected the Dig Site to open up after I completed the 2nd alter, and it didn't.

Has the Dig Site not been implemented yet? Is it not part of the Spring Update?

I'd put my game on hold for this. I'd kept in storage one Yellowfin Tuna, for the express purpose of using it as the final offering at the 2nd alter. After I did that, the pop-up that followed indicated that the Dig Site was now open. I even slept one night, in case there was an appropriate cut-scene that triggered during sleep, but no...

Does anyone have an answer to this?

There's no mention of it in the Spring Update notes, but I'm convinced I saw a reference to it in a Steam discussion post with one of the devs recently. Maybe it's been held back for now. You can chop up the large log at the foot of the steps leading up to it, but you are stopped by an invisible wall. Seems odd to put so much effort into the Spring Update, but continue to block the 2nd alter reward.

The second altar can't be completed yet because some of the critters needed for the Ocean Critters bundle haven't been added to the game yet.

I haven't found it yet. They couldn't be talking about the 'Wind Mine' could they?

Is the dig site the area in the upper left corner of the island? Left-ish of the mines? I got close to it by chopping down the log blocking the stairs (in the forest area that unlocks after the first altar is complete), went up but then my path was blocked by boulders. Figured I needed to clear another altar for the boulders to dissapear.

Yes, that's where it is. There's an invisible wall at the foot of the stairs, stopping you from going up. I rolled my game back to an earlier save, to before I unlocked 2nd alter, as I don't want to miss the Dig Site reward. I'm going to hold back on the "final" alter offerings, and put them into a storage chest, and wait for them to be fully implemented in future updates.

A YouTuber posted a video of him getting into the Dig Site a while ago. He used the Skyrim "Mountain Goat" technique, and wriggled up the side of the tree. Once inside though, the area was devoid of any interactions or features...
