Wobbledogs Console Edition Out Now!

If you've got a PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch and want Wobbledogs, these are the links you need...

Wobbledogs Console Edition Mutating

Mad scientists and dog lovers rejoice! Wobbledogs Console Edition is launching on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on May 23rd. Prepare to generate and mutate your own kennel of loveable mutant mutts, keep them happy and fed, and then feed their corpses to their clone children (if you want to).

Both new editions have been optimised for their respective consoles, with a revamped UI to make digital dog raising better with a controller. And yes, you can still pet the dogs!

v1.05.03 - More hotfixes

Hopefully the final round of fixes for this last patch!

Bug fixes:



  • There was a low framerate race condition that made it possible for automation options to auto pupate a dog or auto hatch an egg within a super tight timing window after the player entered construction mode. If this happened, the game would soft lock. I was finally able to reproduce this issue by artificially tanking the framerate, and have inserted an extra protection to prevent this from happening.

  • I've received a few scattered reports of dogs standing in one spot and starving while trying to lay an egg with automation options enabled. I could not figure out how to reproduce this, but I did find one place in code where there was potential for an infinite loop that, if triggered, would produce this exact behavior. I've added protections to this area in code such that the loop will automatically end after a certain amount of time no matter what. This will result in dogs laying white fertilized eggs instead of colored fertilized eggs (in instances that would have otherwise frozen the dogs), but should not otherwise interrupt the game. I don't believe this was affecting very many players, and hopefully this smooths things over.


Have a great week!

v1.05.02 - Flora Field Guide Achievement Fix

This hotfix patch is super small and likely only applies to a handful of people, but I wanted to get it fixed for them quickly!

Bug fixes:



  • If players technically completed their flora field guide while the recent bug incorrectly showing an extra question mark'd food for Bacto Bacto was active, the goal would never correctly trigger. Now the game will check for this goal's completion every time you open your flora field guide.


Have a great week!

V1.05.01 - Hotfixes

Hey everyone, just a few hotfixes from the previous Automation Options update! I'll continue to monitor everything but I wanted to get these fixed ASAP.

Bug fixes:



  • Fix for save files sometimes locking players out of all of the UI after having played with Automation Options enabled for a long period of time.

    The issue here was easy to fix but a bit complex to figure out. When a fertilized egg tried to hatch while inside of a dog den, the game would usually not correctly handle things. This often resulted in the dog egg disabling itself but not destroying itself. When the game was saved while the egg was in this state, the egg would end up being saved without being associated with the den it was technically in. When that file was later loaded, the game would look at the egg's coordinates, see that it wasn't inside a den, and then attempt to auto destroy it and add it to your inventory. However, with Automation Options on, the egg would also be attempting to hatch itself at the same time. This would result in the egg trying to hatch while also being destroyed, which caused a series of errors that would cause the UI to lock up.

    This patch implements a series of safeguards to stop eggs from doing both things simultaneously, meaning that upon reloading an affected file, depending on timing the egg will either hatch or add itself back to your inventory, but not both things simultaneously. In addition, I've added logic to correctly handle an egg trying to hatch while inside of a den (it will expel itself first), as well as some extra protections against eggs and cocoons attempting to hatch automatically in situations where they shouldn't.

  • Fixed an issue resulting in an extra unobtainable food being added to the occurrences tab for Bacto Bacto, which resulted in players being unable to 100% the flora field guide.

  • The correct text now shows up for fullscreen near death popups while using Automation Options.


Thanks to everyone who reported these issues! Please continue to do so if you run into anything else and I'll take a look!
