Improved Navmesh and Spawning in Kilima and Bahari
We made a number of changes around Kilima and Bahari to improve how hunting creatures and insects spawn and navigate. The key areas we improved are:
- Insects spawned from mining nodes should more reliably spawn on the ground and be catchable
- Hunting creatures are less likely to teleport around
- Hunting creatures are less likely to end up behind cliffs
Please let us know if you experience more issues with the above.
Submit Bundles from Storage
Players no longer need to worry about forgetting that last item back home when trying to complete a bundle at the Night Sky Temple.
When in photo mode, UI elements like flower watering bars will not appear
Photos taken in photo mode already removed these elements, so with this change your preview will be closer to the final picture.

We’ve let Tish know Tish’s Brew was very difficult to make and she’s adjusted the requirements for this request.
