 The Palia team continues updating the game and adding features since the open beta began. This time, there’s a new series of hotfixes, plus some new furniture, new crops and recipes, and a whole new place to explore.

There’s new content to explore, including the recent opening of the Temple of the Flames. The  explorable area comes with two new quests and four new bundles, some with all new items, to collect. Get started when you receive a letter from Hassian in the mail after meeting prerequisites.

There are two new crops, corn and spicy peppers, and 10 new recipes, many of which make use of the new crops. The recipes include fish tacos, spicy rice cakes, crab gumbo, chili oil dumplings, and Chapaa Asada Tacos. One of the fixes in this update should prevent the cooking UI from disappearing while you're cooking, which should be helpful with the new recipes.

The Palia team has also made some quality of life tweaks and fixed several issues.  you can now fulfill requests even if your items are back at home in storage. some quests got fixes, some got guidance text, and others got tweaked to be a little simpler to complete.

Singularity 6 has also released the new UI for the premium shop that should be clearer when it comes to pricing(as promised).

To keep things burning, the Emberborn set is now craftable, added in honor of the Temple of the Flames. The furniture set can now decorate your home with fiery hues of orange, yellow, and gold. And flames. There are eight pieces in the set.

If you complete all of the Temple bundles,  you can walk away with another special item, the Ancient Rock Garden. If you collect this and place it somewhere on your housing plot, you’ll attract the Kitsuu. Once your special guest has arrived,
