Dear islanders, this update brings a small round of care for your islands.
We fixed several issues related to Catalog records and color variant visuals, and also improved performance in situations where late-game islands could start to feel heavy. We hope that as your islands grow busier and brighter, they can keep running gently and smoothly.
Fixed an issue where flower-related Catalog entries did not update automatically when loading old saves.
Fixed an issue where crystal ascension was not recorded in the Catalog.
Fixed an issue where Click Shroom could lose its color variant effect when changing forms.
Improved crystal transfer performance, so factory-style islands should now perform better.
Improved game performance when the altar is full. Noticeable stuttering should no longer occur after the altar reaches capacity.
Thank you for all your feedback and for staying with us. May every growing island keep glowing calmly and smoothly.

Hello Islanders, in this update we have fixed some issues affecting the gameplay experience. Details are as follows:
Crystal Price Adjustments
Increased the maximum limit of total Crystals from 2^32 to 2^64.
Optimized the tier growth for Altar upgrades, expanding the storage growth for higher amounts of crystals.
Optimized the maximum price for Crops; the cap is the price after purchasing 50 crops (if this price exceeds 1,000,000,000, it will be fixed at this integer).
Compatible with old save data; if an overflow to a negative number has occurred, it will be corrected to the maximum value.
Other Fixes:
Fixed an issue where the Penguin would occasionally get stuck in place.
Fixed an issue where Crystal overflow would cause continuous sound effects and lag.
Added a tail animation to the Cat.
Fixed an issue where the Friend Shroom could only produce level 10 crystals at most.
Fixed an issue where the achievement "Reach the Boundary" occasionally could not be completed.
Hello Islanders,
This update resolves several localization-related issues. The game now correctly displays the appropriate default language based on the player’s region, and all related text is functioning as expected.
Update Details:
● In regions where a supported language is available, the game will automatically use the corresponding language as the default (Chinese, English, Japanese, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Russian, Korean).
● In regions without a supported local language, the game will default to English.
Hello Islanders, in this update we have fixed several issues affecting the gameplay experience. Details are as follows:
Updated the quick fish feeding logic: now use Left Click to quick feed, and Right Click to trigger special effects.
Quick feeding now prioritizes residents who do not have full hearts.
Fixed an issue where certain save files could not be loaded properly.
Fixed an issue where certain Steam achievements were not triggering correctly.
The language setting now automatically loads the option from the last save, rather than reading the Steam language every time.
Hello Islanders, in this update we have fixed several issues affecting the gameplay experience. Details are as follows:
Optimized the performance of crops that produce simultaneously, such as Pudding Shroom and Firework Succulent.
Fixed the issue of low resolution in full-screen mode & automatic full-screen when saving and exiting.
Fixed the issue where plant Buffs were cleared when opening the details panel.
Fixed the issue where Weather Fish occasionally could not be clicked.
Fixed the issue where the cottage would occasionally disappear after a resident entered it to rest.
Optimized some text strings.

Hey everyone!
The game developer will be livestreaming TinyIsle gameplay on Steam.
We look forward to seeing you there!
The game’s launch-day performance exceeded our expectations—thank you for the incredible support. With more players and longer playtime, we also identified several issues that did not fully surface during testing. This update focuses on smoother gameplay, improved stability, and a few small balance tweaks.
Lag and stutter fixes: Fixed issues that could cause stuttering, especially when purchasing and moving crops. Performance optimization will continue in future updates.
Steam Achievements: Fixed an issue where some Steam achievements could not be unlocked properly.
Production system fixes:
Fixed an issue where upgrading Crystal Basket did not affect the grade of produced crystals.
Fixed an issue where Mystical Spiralis Pot would not increase crystal grade after absorbing two crystals.
Achievement progress fixes:
Fixed an issue where the “Animal Island Friends Association” achievement could not be triggered.
Fixed an exploit where “Legendary Fisher” progress could be increased by saving, exiting, and re-entering the game.
Crystal output tuning:
Slightly reduced the crystal grade produced by Crystal Basket.
Increased the crystal grade produced by Blue Giant Shroom.
Weather: Increased the chance for meteor shower weather to appear.
Map controls: Adjusted map edge limits to allow a larger draggable area.
Fixed an issue where Volcano Shroom could display unknown trait entries.
Fixed an issue where repeatedly clicking fish could trigger effects and gifting multiple times.
Fixed misalignment when batch-moving Click Succulent.
Fixed a missing icon for Ice Lotus.
Fixed an issue where tutorial text could exceed screen bounds in some languages.
Corrected an incorrect tutorial video for Love Cherry.
Improved several Fish Codex descriptions.
Fixed punctuation and spelling issues in some Chinese and English text.
Improved Fishpond Grass behavior in the unlock net—it now unlocks without requiring a key.
Updated an expired Discord link—you can now join the Discord community normally.
Two previously Kickstarter-exclusive skins were mistakenly released as free content after launch due to a configuration error, allowing all players to obtain them. This issue cannot be rolled back technically. After internal discussion, we have decided:
For players who did not back the Kickstarter: We will create new reward content as compensation, to be delivered within three weeks.
For the two original skins: They will be officially adjusted as free DLC available to all players.
