If you’re a fan of cozy games, there’s no doubt that you’ve at least dipped your toe into the world ofPalia. Despite some hiccups, likemixed reviews on Steamwhen it released and layoffs happening within Singularity 6,Paliais still going.
Singularity 6 published itslatest Dev UpdateforPaliaon May 21, detailing some things that players can expect in patch 0.180, although a date for this patch has yet to be detailed. This, the studio claims, will be its ‘biggest patch yet’, and the Dev Updates usually prove to be merely a sneak peak of the full changes within an upcoming patch.
Hotpot is back on the menu
The biggest takeaways from Dev Update 8 were the return of the Hotpot minigame, which has previously only appeared as part of the Maji Market event, and the huge news that Palian economy is about to undergo a huge overhaul.
Until now, earning Gold (at least major amounts of it) has been achieved through a select few activities such as Cooking and Mining. However, this overhaul promises to improve the balance of Gold earned through all activities, meaning that those who favor Insect Catching or Fishing will be rewarded equally to those who prefer Foraging and Hunting. It’s a welcome change, especially for new players just finding their feet.
Crafting items will also cost less, meaning that improving skills such as Furniture Making will be far easier to manage and massively reduced Smelting times for certain bars means that players won’t be stuck twiddling their thumbs while they wait for their resources to be ready to use.
