Update 1.1.3.0
We are excited to release another update for Spirit of the Island! In this version we focused on bug fixes and added some new features as a cherry on top.
New
- You can rotate vacancy houses!
- We’ve made storage icon a lot more easier to see and read;
- We’ve changed the logic behind sleep (we made it less punishing.): now when your character is tired, you can still do anything you’d like to do! You will just walk slowly, but that’s it.
Fixes
- Fixed some UI text size here and there, mostly the pop-up on item collection;
- We’ve got rid of the “null” error in multiplayer. It happened when one player used an item which other player didn’t have;
- We fixed a huge exploit with storage chests and inventory items being out of sync;
- Fixed a major bug with movable player house in coop;
- Made lamps turnable again;
- No more error messages when you are using crafting tables;
- Storage button now shows up for refrigerators;
- Fruit trees now grow properly inside the greenhouses;
- Tourists won’t stop coming back to your island now! We’ve finally fixed that pesky bug;
- Crops won’t rot inside the greenhouse after you reload your saved game;
- In Winter you sometimes couldn’t move your buildings around — we’ve fixed that bug too;
- Updated some localisations.
Update 1.1.2.0
Part 2 of our Halloween update is live! This update is focused on some of the most requested community features, so we bet you'll love it.
New feature: re-base your house. That's right, you can change the location of your home freely now! We hope it opens up even more space for creativity;
New building: Greenhouse. So Winter was a sad season for farming, right? Now you can build a greenhouse and enjoy fresh fruits and veggies all year round!
Crafting system: so we know that it was super tedious to arrange your resources when you wanted to make something. Well, no more: now all crafting benches will search for items in nearby chests as well! We hope it smoothens out the crafting process for you. Notice the purple icon on the items in the recipe.
Fixes
We made Halloween candles movable;
Fixed a crash that occured when you deleted an item from your inventory.
OH and one more thing.... We have a HUGE 40% discount going live... RIGHT NOW! Grab a copy for your friend and go on an adventure!

Trick or Treat? Halloween event goes live October 25th!
It's time for the Spooky Season in SOTI! Don't miss the Halloween event which will go live October 25th! We bet you are curious what will be inside and we are eager to tell you!
With the Halloween event we will be introducing a special "trick or treat" mechanic. Are you ready to give your neighbours a good spook? Then prepare you best costume and come to the Town - there are tons of candy to grab! The event will happen on 13th day of Autumn (in-game time).
But what do you do with that candy? Of course you can sell it to the tourists or the trader, but a much better thing to do is.. eating them! That candy will give your character special buffs that will make you stronger, faster and overall a bit more powerful. Please remember to not eat too much sweets at once though! :D
There are also brand new Halloween themed decorations for your farm and house! And we have a fun activity, where you could put them to use as well! We are holding a "Best Halloween Farm" contest on our Discord server (you can join here!) and prizes are very exciting: top three farms (decided by community) will get a multitool each - an amazing item that you cannot acquire in game by normal means. It will allow you to do everything - be it mining, digging or cutting down logs - with just one item! It has the same speed as top tools as well. It's a rare chance so don't miss it and come participate - our server is very chill and fun hangout place!
Some very important tidbits: Halloween event will be available ONLY when it's Autumn in-game! Please note this very important bit of info!
We are super excited to see the screenshots of your farms and your comments about the event!
