FAQ

Q: Where can I find the new mech skin?
A: The new Mech-o-lantern skin is available to all players, new and old. You’ll find it in the mailbox construct. If you haven’t already gotten one you can build one in the building menu. To upgrade your mech to this skin you also need to build an upgrade dock, and it is also found in your building menu.

Q: Can I continue on my previous save file?
A: Save files are not affected by this update so you’ll be able to jump right in where you left off!

Q: How can I complete the Color Me Impressed achievement?
A: In order to complete this you need to start a new savefile.

Q: I cannot find the new neighbors or animals. How do I access the new content?
A: If you want to continue from a previous file, one of the neighbors is accessed by gathering copper and waiting until the next day (Ulf), and the other one is by gathering an abandoned egg in any restored region except for Meadows, Pine Heights & Edge Cliffs. You must restore at least 3 regions prior and wait a day (Diane)

Q: Will there be more neighbors added to the game?
A: Perhaps! Our current focus is still on this latest update, namely squashing bugs and gathering feedback.

Q: How can I get a rare animal?
A: You need to have the yellow lens in the incubator while hatching and even then it’s a very rare chance you’ll get one of the rare animals. The rare animals have a different color and sometimes different patterns.

Once again, thank y’alls for playing and we’ll see you on the frontier, exofarmers!
