Steam Hotfix v1.1b-1229

Hi Farmers,

This small hotfixes fix urgent issues with our last release:

Bugfixes:

• Fixed no cutscene after achieving town rank A.
  
• Fixed issue with Precious Gems offering reset to 0 if player already offered some gems. Unfortunately, if player already loaded the game and saves to the next day, we can not recover the lost gems with this fix. We're really sorry about this.

Thank you so much for the feedback and report. We really appreciate it. We're already on our way to fix them, but the above are urgent so we made this small hotfix first.

Best regards,
Stairway Team

Hello Islanders!

Coral Island "Quality of Life" 1.1b update is finally released!

Here are all the new changes for our 1.1b Quality of Life update:

New Cooking Show:
We’ve added a new cooking show hosted by Chef Sisca, airing every Friday on your in-game TV.
By watching, you’ll learn and unlock new cooking recipes, which can then be prepared in your kitchen at home.

Goddess Daily Blessing:
Introducing the Goddess Daily Blessing, a feature that grants players one daily buff.
Buffs can improve your chances of catching insects, fish, or scavenging rare items, among other benefits.
To unlock this feature, complete four offerings. Once unlocked, visit the nearest fast travel point to access the Goddess Blessing option (the second choice). This feature resets daily, so remember to visit the fast travel point each day to receive your blessing!

Mystery Rocks:
Mystery Rocks are a new type of debris found in the Starlet Mines and the Cave of Memories.
Breaking these rocks may yield ores, ore veins, seeds, rare fish, rare insects, or occasionally unleash monsters!
The number of Mystery Rocks that spawn per floor depends on the number of offerings made to the Goddess. For every two offerings, more Mystery Rocks will appear.

Fish Nets:
We’ve added Bamboo Nets, a new item for passively catching fish.

• Unlock the Small Bamboo Net at Fishing Level 3 and the Large Bamboo Net at Fishing Level 7.
  
• To use, place the net at the edge of a water body. It will automatically catch fish daily.
  
• Small Bamboo Nets hold 1 fish, while Large Bamboo Nets hold up to 3 of the same type.
  
• Add bait to increase your chances of catching fish! Unused bait will remain intact if no fish are caught.
  Note: Bamboo Nets cannot catch legendary fish.

Additional General Store Quests:
Help Sam revive the empty sections of the general store by completing various requests.
Start by triggering the Local Produce quest. Sam will provide more details at the store. Once completed, Sam will continue requesting your assistance to stock his store with goods, improving life for the townsfolk.
