Building Fixes

• You can now shear rabbits at the shearing station table! This was blocked previously because of a collision issue that stopped the player from being able to interact with the shearing table that is specifically made for rabbits.

• Grass is bushier again! As a result of further optimisation, we cranked up the grass back to how it was.
• Lowered the distance at which NPCs can try to unstuck themselves.

Optimization

• Enabled DLSS for Nvidia RTX Cards. (2XXX Series and beyond)

NPC Fixes

• NPCs now properly check if stations are free

Other Fixes

• Those were the big ones, but in addition, we have also done the following:
• Your graphics settings should no longer reset on each start-up.
• Fixed an incorrect dialogue string on Hanako's confession response.
• Game settings adjusted and rebalanced. Low and Medium settings should look and work better now.
• Removed a few developer activities that were available in the game (drone racing at the promenade).
• Using the scroll wheel during a drone race should no longer cause problems.
• AMD GPUs should perform a lot more reliably in the caves now, and the performance is much better across all hardware.

• Fixed a typo on the bus stop map details panel.
• Kat should no longer ask to "let Rainy know" in her daily dialogue.
• The rice cooker can no longer be turned on if there is no valid recipe in the mixing circle. This fixes the issue of the rice cooker “getting stuck closed” if you try to turn it on without a valid recipe.

• Minigames that are launched through a hangout (such as Crane Game or Gatcha Game) now show the on-screen prompt for how to play the minigame. The lack of a prompt confused some players into thinking that the game was soft-locked.

• You can no longer accidentally destroy your bicycle rack or vehicle shed. If you have already destroyed them accidentally in your save, we're working on a way to allow you to re-place them.
