Patch Notes for 1.2.11 (19th October 2023)

[Will | Paleo Pines Dev Team]

Steam Patch Notes Version 1.2.11

BIG UPDATES
- Freya now sells a cooking pot so you can cook on the ranch.
- Fixed 'invisible walls' on the ranch after clearing certain types of debris or placing fenceposts.
- Fixed broken cooking tutorials when loading saves from before 1.1.18.

KNOWN ISSUES
- Rarely, the game day resets to 0, causing the new-game fences and sleeping patches to spawn on top of your ranch. We're still trying to reproduce this but it's top of our list to fix.

PATCHES
- Made steeds more obedient after dismounting. They'll now always resume following if they were following before, and they won't run away when dismounted on the ranch.
- Award certain achievements retroactively in case they were missed by playing the demo.
- Increased the respawn chance of logs which drop forest wood.
- Harvest boosts now apply while mounted.
- Stamina now slowly regenerates when sitting.
- Changed the flute prompt layout used for controllers to make it more intuitive.
- Fixed biome tiles on the ranch not updating/erasing correctly when modifying pens.
- Biome tiles will no longer overwrite path tiles.
- Mari's dino records are now sorted by species.
- All 'weekday' dinos are now 'rare'. Previously most were 'uncommon' but one was 'ultra rare', which was incorrect.
- Dinos discovered via tracking will now have an alert (!) to make them easier to spot.
- Dino notes can no longer be so long the text becomes unreadably small.
- Fixed Lucky only accepting 0 star mangoes for the 'cheer Lucky up with a mango' task.
- Fixed Psittacosaurus getting stuck when interacting with cushions on the ranch.
- Fixed Coelophysis cheeks staying visible when they sleep in an upgraded sleeping patch.
- Fixed small dinos stealing extra seeds (one from each stack) from seed hubs.
- Fixed an error causing dinos to be able to spray water infinitely outside of the ranch.
- Fixed not being able to spray water outside of the ranch, except by dismounting.
- Fixed ranch storage filters behaving strangely after adding items to the 'all' category.
- Fixed Owynn's legs moving strangely after skipping quickly through dialog when meeting him and Mari on day 1.
- Fixed errors and lost items when sweeping a trough or hub with the broom.
- Fixed soil disappearing and/or duplicate seeds if you interrupted a small dino at work.
- Dino tilling fixes - hopefully you should no longer be able to escape the ranch!
- Fixed sometimes being unable to study desert dinos for a town board job.
- Fixed a crash when loading into the ranch if the entire thing is one huge pen.
- Improved performance when placing various objects on the ranch or picking them up.
- Fixed infinitely respawning tutorial saddle when loading older saves.
- Fixed distant LODs of the sandstone wall reverting to normal grey stone.
- Fixed an exploit to get infinite items from compost machines and windmills.
- Owynn's first visit dialogue is now triggered by interaction with him at his house rather than when you get near.
- Changed Pippin's dino companion icon in the journal to the Dimetrodon.
- Fixed the pear tree giving the player a pear rather than a sprout when dug up.
- Fixed various dino toys where the dino was unable to reach the interaction point.
- Fixed dino animations getting stuck if they were interrupted while interacting with a toy.
- Fixed various misplaced characters in the Swamp Feast cutscene.
- Marlo no longer appears near his house on Sundays while you're meant to be finding him.
- The taming tutorial can no longer occur on Mari's budding day or a festival.
- Slightly changed the Oviraptor friend call so it doesn't overlap with the 'follow' command.
- Disallow stack splitting on non-draggable inventories (e.g. in cooking).
- Improved the ranch house upgrade cutscene.
- Fixed the "Memory of Mac" quest only taking 4 corn rather than 5.
- Fixed floating items on a Wisdom Day picnic table.
- Fixed Triassea Picnic food pile donations being lost when loading an autosave.
- Fixed being able to access Mari's dino storage from anywhere, which either spawns the dinosaur far away, or causes an error (if you're not in Veridian Valley).
- Fixed the Wisdom Day Master achievement not being progressive.
- Fixed several typos and misattributed lines in dialog and the quest log.
- Many other things too minor to mention.

we can buy a cooking pot now?! god that's such a big (welcome) change.

lots of other good ones i see too, tho still more to come i hope. i see my requests for dino storage sorting and more intuitive controller flute binds were met, but nothing about the issue with trying to add items to the cooking pot where it just doesn't work cuz even after selecting an item to add, it acts as if the cursor is still moving freely in the inventory.

knowing that the cooking pot request was honored, i'm more hopeful that we'll get purchasable wood and stone in the next patch!

Amazing work!

Ever since the patch today I was not able to continue the character arc between Freya and Orani... I was able to organise 100 Chili for them... but since then 9 hours of playtime plus at least 30 in-game days have passed but neither of them continue with their relation quest. Hmm... very strange.

I used the cooking pot to good effect on the farm, to now have 55 / 78 of the recipes mastered. So that really helped. When I get through all recipes I'll post a complete list of recipes and ingredients... should that be helpful.

the personal npc quests like that tend to have very long gaps between them which is annoying. i'm fairly certain it was a long-ass time between the chili part and the next one for me as well, before the patch.

as for recipes- a guide on steam would be somewhat more accessible, but there's already a super handy website that has all the recipes and such, i've been using it to fill out my journal as well, till i ran into the wood shortage.

oh and what's this about 'toys' for the dinos? i've never seen anything like that. or is that what we're supposed to call the utility items like watering holes and baskets? to me a 'toy' would be like a ball or a wheel or something specifically just for the dinos to play with.

Maybe some decorations? I watched my Kentrosaurio, when is outside of the pen, interacting with the pools, throwing water with the tail.

that's what i was calling a watering hole. it's a utility spot since you use it for watering, i'd hardly call it a 'toy'
