Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to the first episode of Patch Notes Kitchen, with me, Kate I mean, Moonstonio McChefhat, famous TV cooking guy! Today we're making a tasty three-course meal: a Bugfixes Souffl, followed by a hearty Marinated Content Steak served with Baby New Spirits, and for dessert, DLC! Which stands for Delicious Layer Cake, obviously. The first step in this recipe is to add the following to your game:

New Content

• The ability to COOK!
• New crafting stations (prep table, stove, recipe book)
• Dozens of meals with unique effects
• New cooking questline (given by Ossono on Spring 16 or a few days after updating for in-progress games)
• New LORE
• New cooking-themed decorations
• Four new spirits: Eleplant (water), Jelbell (psychic), Grampus (ice), and Fangface (dark)
• New NPC likes/dislikes (spoiler: they're all meals)

Now that the Content Steak is in the oven, prepare your Bugfixes Souffl! Here are some notes on how to make it:

Bugfixes

• Did you use a broom/fishing rod/warp whistle near a shrine or a warpstone, and accidentally activate it instead of using the item? Not any more! We fixed it
• Used the correct font for the "purchased" text in other languages
• You can no longer feed Spirits old boots. Also, don't do that! Ew!
• Increased the size of the white circle shown when activating the Ando tree, because you cool dudes with ultra-wide monitors weren't getting the full effect
• Magic Man's house was appearing underneath the swimming pool. He's mysterious and strange, but not THAT mysterious and strange, so we changed that
• You can no longer feed Spirits multiple stat reset potions to cause them to gain points somehow. I'm continually impressed by all these cheats but we must fix them, sorry
• You can no longer feed fish to Spirits in battles. Apparently Fishbo assumed it was a mean intimidation tactic and he got really upset
• Tobin bought some glow-in-the-dark paint online, and now the fishing bobber lights up at night for easier fishing
• Restored Magic Man's missing dialogues he's meant to say stuff after you pick up the temple seals!
• You can no longer steal Zed's museum of Spirit resources. CONGRATULATIONS, YOU INVENTED STEALING ON A PEACEFUL ISLAND. You monsters.
• You can't place furniture in other people's houses and workplaces any more. I mean, I know Quill's taste in decor is very "guy who owns a single armchair and a PlayStation 5", but he has to learn that on his own, k?

And finally, the Delicious Layer Cake, also known as the Chef's Kiss DLC, is live today. It's a paid DLC, but it's decor only! As a reminder of what it includes:

• Bakery House Skin
• Donut Rug
• Cloche
• Pot Rack
• Marble Counter
• Marble Counter with Sink

Aaaand that's everything! All of these bugfixes + more will also be coming to the Switch today, as well as the Pool Party DLC and Russian language options, so if you're also playing on the Nintendo RectangleTM, then it should run a lot more smoothly now. As always, you're the best. Mwah. Kate, community manager and owner of a chef's blowtorch
