• Fixed the issue of Canyon Wraiths appearing outside of the canyons in multiplayer
  
• Fixed the issue of player character stuck in constant jump on top of the titan crab
  
• Fixed a case of items not able to be crafted in multiplayer due to missing recipe.
  
• Fixed the issue of plants in planters teleporting to a spot in the desert upon logging in during multiplayer.
  
• Fixed another rare case of tool duplication at Arx - if you end up with duplicate tools for some reason, reloading the game should remove them.
  
• Fixed some specific spots in terrain where players can get stuck. Also added a cheat code in case players are stuck in terrain still. If you are stuck, hit the Enter key to call the text chat box. Then type in: /unstuck This will get you out of the sticky situation.
  
• Fixed a rare case of loading not progressing past 25% due to a clock issue.
  
• Added a new relay service as well as a new “Network” page to settings. This allows you to directly control the game’s use of the relay service when direct P2P connection cannot be established and something in the network may be blocking your connection to your friends. If you have issues connecting with your friends, this may help you get around them.
  
  To use the relay service, please have you and your friends all go into Settings in the Pause Menu then click on Network. For the Always Use Relay Server option, turn it to On. Please also have the host player select the closest relay server region (the host could try a few different ones if the current one doesn’t work).
  
• Reduced overall damage dealt by Dust Storms, in particular to larger plants and structures
  
• Reduced the chance of seeds spontaneously germinating by about half; any plant created this way also starts with the Tired status
  
• Fixed the Brittle Scroll taking Essence instead of giving it, if read after the associated perk is fully unlocked
  
• Fixed item spawners (such as mineral veins) not respecting an intended cap on the number of nearby buried items
  
• Increased the Frog’s base storage size to 16. Frog movement will now cover a larger area around upgraded springs.
  
• Removed the “aura bubble” from recruited Spirit Darters as it caused too much visual noise
  

• We’ve made a number of performance improvements targeted at larger gardens, in particular to memory usage in the hopes of reducing crashes on lower-memory hardware.
  
• The game should require less memory upon loading a large garden (by about 10-15%), and increase less over time.
  
• Improved handling of various common VFX like essence wisps, destruction puffs, and buried item glow to prevent memory bloat.
  
• We’ve also made some general performance improvements that will keep FPS from dropping quite as badly in large gardens:
  
• Improved performance of various biome-related checks in dense gardens
  
• Reduced the frequency of water mesh updates that aren’t near the player (visuals only, does not affect flow behavior)

• Fixed a rare case of the crab not moving to the outpost properly, resulting in the outpost not being destroyed and the next outpost cannot be interacted with.
  
• A certain key item dropped by the final boss will be auto-collected if no player collects it after 60 seconds (fixes a case where it could drop inside a rock)
  
• Fixed more behavioral problems for the frog, such as the frog wandering a great distance from the home spring (to nearby Mystical Springs) as well as its disappearance.
  
• Fixed a new and rare case of the giant crab just squatting on top of a spring, not allowing it to be restored.
  
• Fixed the issue of a wrongly highlighted spring in zone revival
  
• The recipe for the Sky Bracelet becomes visible at the Workbench after Vidyas first mentions it, instead of later in the quest
  
• Clarified text of the “Plant a group of X plants” ghost quests to specify that they must be mature
  
• Fixed the issue of the display reading "Item +0" instead of the item count when picking up items
  
• Fixed an issue where the health loss on carried plants could kill the plant
  
• Fixed an issue where saving during an active Dust Storm could create extra storm objects
  
• Photo Mode screenshots are now written to the same user data directory that contains saves, instead of to the Steam install directory. Fixes a case where screenshots could be deleted if the game updated.
  
• When very large numbers of loose items are present, the game will automatically combine nearby valid stacks in the world to reduce performance issues. This check is done upon loading and periodically at dawn.
  
• Some non-spoiling items will now be destroyed over time if they’re underwater. This includes Wood, Plant Fibers, Bone Fragments, Knotwood, and Frozen Essence
  
• Increased the rate at which items in water spoil (from 200% to 400%)
  
• Seeds from plants that cannot drown (such as Glowsticks) will no longer automatically germinate in very deep water (where they might be unreachable)
  
• Reduced the bonus to Harvest Yield from Thriving conditions (from 150% to 125%)
  

• Added several recipes to restored Springs and Wellstones to allow players to control water production
  
• “Low Water Flow” - 10% of normal
  
• “Moderate Water Flow” - 50% of normal
  
• “High Water Flow” - 100% of normal
  
• Fixed a number of issues with Wellstones failing to link with a host spring, or unlinking unexpectedly.
  
• If a Wellstone has a valid connection to multiple host springs, it will now favor the closest with capacity.
  

• Improved stacking behavior when drag & dropping items between your backpack and a storage basket. Dragging items onto a stack in the other inventory will now attempt to combine the stacks if valid, instead of just swapping.
  
• Increased the item capacity of Storage Baskets from 8 to 16 (upgrading them to Big Baskets adds another 8)
  
• Increased the inventory stack limits on some common items
  

1. Wood, Plant Fibers: 30 -> 99
   
2. Sandstone: 30 -> 50
   
3. Copper, Flint, Bone Fragments, Frozen Essence: 20 -> 30
   
4. Blessed Drop: 5 -> 10
   

• The Frog will now travel through water to pick up underwater items
  
• Fixed several bugs that could cause the Frog to stop collecting items
  
• Reduced passive drops of Wood and Plant Fibers from plants in restored biomes (no longer increases from growth rate above 100%)
  

• Added a map/compass icon for Runic Gears that have dropped from the containing chest but not yet been picked up.
  
• Fixed canceling the Move action (right-clicking while moving) making the target object unable to be moved again.
  
• Fixed players becoming unable to pick up another plant if the plant they were carrying died (due to environmental damage etc)
  
• Fixed an issue where certain upgrades to the sickle, spade, bottle, and mirror would fail to remove the tools they were upgrading, and in some instances prevent players from picking up new tools necessary to progress the game.
  

• Slightly increased the blocking/interaction radius of Oracle Trees to better match their fully-grown model - this should fix Giant Oracle Trees in particular being difficult to interact with.
  
• Reduced size and noisiness of particles on newly-harvestable seeds
  
• Fixed wraith attack warning UI overflowing in German
  
• Fixed some Chinese translations
  
• Fixed Librarian shirt and pants dying incorrectly
  
• Fixed missing projectile VFX on the Soldier Bee Sigil’s attack
  
• Some small performance optimizations to the Canyons
