-improved performance when upgrading tools.
-Solo Egg Festival event added
-Ability to change what animals and children are called though shrine item
-Enhanced rendition at the time of achievement of city quests.

1.07 will release by the end of July:
-Strengthen the production when the city develops. So probably more drastic cosmetic changes when you upgrade the city

-Makes it easier to find event organizers

1.04 came out the same week as Japan
1.05 Added a lot of dialog to be translated and it's supposed to come out this week in the west
Who knows with 1.06. We have to wait until XSeed says something
Bought this on sale. Waiting for NA to get the big patches. Probably 1.06 is when I'll start, after reading what it and 1.07 contains above. Hopefully it doesn't go on an even bigger sale before then.
Does seedling mode give you more time in the day? My gf likes Friends of Mineral Town but gave up because the days went too quick. Is this any better?
No extra time, but there's also less constraints. For example, you don't have to get everything shipped before 5. Just have it in the bin before bed.
YES! Now to wait until my data is moved onto my new SD-card, didn't think moving 400GB would take 6 hours :(
i got an update. nyc here.
hmm, not entirely sure it's THE update. i just turned on my switch and it was updating. it could have been a pending older one that is only now updating, but idk. says "Ver 1.0.4" in the title screen, so i'm doubtful.

Instead of passing out, the game launches a dialog window that says it's late, time to go home and go to bed. Then you awake the next morning at 10:00 am as though you had passed out at 2am. Would have been better to completely ditch the 2am forced bedtime.
XSEED said that they ran into certification issues patch 1.05 in the US and it will be releasing on Saturday
They also provided an official translation for patch 1.06:

- Other minor bug fixes

hoping for good impressions of the 1.05 patch
haven't picked this up yet, mainly because I fell off of mineral town and want to play more of it first, but all these patches coming out in the meantime has worked in my favor

1.05 is already out in Japan and Europe. I don't know how people feel about the Maker changes, but the dialogue changes are big and the other stuff is good QoL.
i started a new file and performance seems a better than before, but it may just be because i only have the first little area of the farm open atm.
you can really tell the new dialogue apart from the old because it takes up the whole text box instead of just like one line.

Improved performance/lag reductions was one of the things done with this patch.
—-【Version 1.0.5 Notes】————
- Changes the functionality of makers to make them easier to use
Makers can now be pre-loaded with enough materials to continually make up to 10 items of the same type - Adds the ability to sidestep and lock movement in a straight line
Hold the L Button or R Button while moving with the Left Stick to lock your movement in left, right, up, or down direction - Adds a heart gauge visual during dialogue with marriage candidates
- Improves some issues that caused lag
- Removes the need to press the A Button when moving from indoors to outdoors
- Adjusts some cooking times
- Adjusts some of the residents' existing dialogue and adds new dialogue
- Changes characters' responses when giving a present, confession, or proposing multiple times in one day
- Adds new visuals for different meals
being able to dump a lot of materials into makers really does change the flow of the early game. not having the babysit makers when you're making early game materials with low processing times, and waking up to one machine having made 4 materials while you slept really does speed things along. i don't think this is gonna change anyone's minds about the makers, and i don't think the maker system in PoOT are preferable to the maker system in Trio, but i do think this was an improvement compared to the launch
The sooner you just do it, the sooner you can get back to where you were and be happy with your game progress.

True. Think i'll start a new file tonight and keep my old file should I ever want to revisit it.
Started a new file, and although it wasn't listed on the patch notes the fish list bug has also been fixed. Really enjoying my time now that I can finally complete everything.
OP
OP
it basically is (or was). at least it's in better shape now, and they're pushing big updates pretty quickly.
Catching fish with a net would erase the Max/Min size ribbons for that species in your encyclopedia.
OP

Oh okay thank you! That does sound annoying and glad it's fixed.
i started over. the changes seem good so far — i can't literally tell how much the dialogue has changed, since it's been months between playthroughs, but NPCs definitely have personality now, when it was pretty dead in the water before.
i wonder if there's a youtube video outlining dialogue especially.
makers now accept a crapton of material to create multiple items, which is rad.
this game is becoming one of my favorites in the farm genre tbh — and it seems like it's just going to get better with the next patch.

I finally managed to clear the main storyline (the town requests) and got the
after only 3 seasons. The cutscenes are very funny, but I think the requests are a bit too easy. I'll focus on mastering all skills, getting all the orichalcon tools and breeding my animals until I have all 10 star byproducts for the second year, and only worry about marriage once all the DLC characters are in the game. I'll probably end up marrying and divorcing everyone and save my favorite (Reina) for last.
Animal Parade
Yeah, on one hand, while I appreciate the breeziness of the story missions, it feels like maybe the objectives could have been a bit more challenging. There was never a point where I actually had to acquire materials to fulfill the missions, because it was always stuff I had laying around in my inventory already. Especially with the tourism aspect, it feels like maybe they could have asked the player to actually build objects for town instead of just turning in materials? Like if I had to actually build new benches for the town, that would have been actually something instead of just picking up 10 solid lumber from my inventory or whatever and delivering it.

Easily my least favorite part of the game, brought me back to many traumatic memories of Bunny Day in Animal Crossing last year...
Even 3 days after the festival he townfolks are still talking about Egg day, eeesh haha
It's like a scene in a Children of the Corn style horror film where the outsider talks to people and they keep saying, "I must prepare for the becoming," or something like that.
Detective: "I'm investigating the disappearance of a local girl."
Townsperson: "I must prepare for the Egg Hunt."
OP
OP
Now that you mention it it really is a great and perfect comparison, so true haha
It really is a good game though, despite my complaints about the egg hunt obsession. I've been waiting for the 1.05 patch and the timing was actually perfect. My wife and I are starting sleep training with my infant daughter and I have the 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM shift.
In between resettling her, I played Olive Town for basically four hours straight last night and the time flew by so it's clearly engaging.

Yeah, the requests are pretty easy so far. After only 21 days, people are saying things like "Olive Town really has come a long way." (Just finished improving the benches). I'm all, "It's been three weeks…"
Yes, they have been. I've been playing it and the patches are really good, especially if you bought the DLC which adds a bunch of outfits plus 2 villagers and 2 marriage candidates per DLC area (the last DLC area isn't coming out until August or September though).
There are still performance issues where the game "freezes" for a second here and there while you're running around, but aside from that I haven't run into any other crashes, glitches, or other problems of that nature.
