New Features & Updates

Luna New Year

Luna New Year has returned to Palia, bringing the festivities back just in time to celebrate the rocking Year of the Riffroc! As lanterns fill the fairgrounds once more, players can look forward to familiar traditions alongside a few updates and refinements that bring new energy to the event, while preserving what has made Luna New Year a festival fan favorite.

Maji Treasure Chests have returned and can now be found in new locations throughout the fairgrounds, offering both new and returning players a reason to adventure The Fairgrounds. Zeki’s “A New Year to Remember” quest will not refresh this year, but the Stamp Card Achievement has been refreshed for all players so everyone can earn rewards by participating in the Luna New Year celebrations.

You’ll also notice a change to the way Hot Pot works at the Fairgrounds for Luna New Year. Instead of the game ending when the deck runs out, discarded cards will now reshuffle back into the deck, allowing the game to continue. Each match will automatically end after ten minutes if no one has found three sets. The Underground version of Hot Pot will remain unchanged for now.

“An increasing number of players have been playing a version of Hot Pot that removes decision making in the minigame because it’s the most efficient way to play the game, and can lead to some players pressuring others to play a certain way. We wanted to try out a possible solution with an exclusive version of Hot Pot in Luna New Year to gather feedback from you all. So please let us know what you think about this updated version, and if you’d like to see it brought to the Underground” - S6 Forseti

We hope you enjoy ringing in the Luna New Year in Palia. We wish you a wonderful and prosperous Year of the Riffroc!

Luna New Year Bundle

Kenyatta is working hard to run the Luna New Year celebration this year, but things are not going as smoothly as planned.

Zeki’s prize wheel broke, someone tampered with Delalia’s sweets, Hodari’s fireworks went off early, and Sugarfoot is too spooked to compete in the Year of the Riffroc pageant organized by Nai’o. But who could it be?

Players are invited to investigate the cause of these mischievous mishaps and help replace the items needed to get the celebration back on track.

Along the way, you may encounter someone who has a surprising connection to the trouble.

Completing the bundle rewards players with a voucher to welcome a Roli, the newest addition to the Ranching skill, to their ranching plot.

Welcome the Roli

A new friend has rolled onto the ranch! The Roli, an armadillo-like animal, loves digging and uncovering salt crystals, no shaking required.

The Roli provides salt that can be used in a variety of cooking recipes or sold for a profit.

Occasionally, the Roli can dig up Pink Salt, a special and more valuable salt that can be sold on its own or used to increase the selling price of any dish that calls for regular salt.

Players can obtain a Roli through the Luna New Year bundle, the Roli Starter Pack, or in the future via the Kilima Coin store.

Get ready to dig in and roll with the Roli!

Reth's Soup-erb Bowl

Get ready for kick off!

Grab your ladles and fire up your stoves because Reth’s Soup-erb Bowl is here. This limited-time, 12-day community cooking event runs from February 6 to February 18, extended based on community feedback so more players have time to take part, and invites players across Palia to cook soups together in a foodie-forward showdown inspired by a classic winter kickoff moment. The goal? Cook a whole lot of soup (and soup-adjacent) dishes to impress Palia’s favorite flirty chef, Reth.

During the event, players will gather ingredients and work to keep the pots full and the bowls coming. Whether you’re hosting a cooking party with friends or hopping between stoves solo, every soup created helps push the community closer to the shared goal. This is a team effort, so pass those ingredients and keep that soup coming!

As the Soup-erb Bowl heats up, players will unlock tiered community rewards by hitting milestone goals together. Follow updates on Discord, news, and social channels to celebrate each souper achievement along the way.

Reth’s Soup-erb Bowl celebrates everything Reth loves most: good food, good company, and a really solid bowl of soup.

For more information surrounding the event and its rewards, you can visit our blog post.

Water Tower Officially Acquireable

Some sharp-eyed players may have noticed a very creative way to gather the Water Tower from the Players Ranch. We see you. And honestly, we liked it enough to make it official.

The Water Tower has been scooched a bit closer so it can be gathered without heading out of bounds. When you gather it, you will receive 1 Water Tower and a recipe to craft more.

Once claimed, the Water Tower can no longer be gathered again from the Player Ranch. Consider it a one-time find that unlocks future builds.

Thanks for going with the flow on this one!

We put in a lot of work this cycle to clean things up across Palia. Tons of bugs were fixed, and we have listened to player feedback to make improvements in lots of areas to help everything run smoother and feel better to play.

Gameplay

• Resolved an issue where Rummaged Goodies Bags would occasionally be empty when opened.
• Resolved an issue where the Temple map would incorrectly stay on screen after exiting the temple if the player had logged in while inside.
• Adjusted Trufflet production rates to yield the expected 9 items instead of 6.
• Fixed an issue where the world map failed to update or display correctly while exploring Temple interiors.
• Removed the Winterlights Register from Kilima which was incorrectly appearing after its expected end date
• Updated several recent Plushes to ensure they trigger a "Major Notification" when acquired.
• Fixed a UI bug in Hot Pot where NPC opponents would display placeholder icons instead of their character portraits.
• Fixed a display error where the Tint menu incorrectly showed a cost of 0 before the actual price was calculated.
• Fixed an issue where entering Copy Tint mode would cancel the current preview; switching modes now correctly maintains your visual preview of the item.
• Resolved a placement restriction for the Estate Roof Connector, which now correctly attaches to all applicable areas of The Alchemist’s Cottage rather than just the sides.

Housing & Decor

• Fixed a bug where using the Housing Travel Board would not remove the gold required for traveling.
• Fixed a visual issue in Kilima Village where the stone wall at the Housing Plot entrance teleporter appeared to be floating or misaligned with the terrain.

Accounts, Character Creation, Collections, and Wardrobe

• Fixed a visual bug where menu highlights would flicker when the game was set to specific languages.

Premium Cosmetics

• The Cloud Pet now properly displays in the Store and Collections menus.
• Fixed an issue so that players can now rearrange via drag and drop for Emotes or Stickers within the Collections screen.

New to 0.200

• During the "Something Wicked" quest, Ulfe may walk away from his expected location. Players may need to speak with Ulfe at a further distance than intended.
• Luna New Year Wallpapers cannot be applied to Estate Home Line cubicles.
• Large decor items, such as Game boards, may have issues being placed across two Home Line building rooftops.
• Several rugs cannot be placed in Yardwork large and medium terraces.
• The Estate Rooftop can overlap with the Estate Roof Connector when placed in placement mode.
• Compass in the Temples no longer displays the distance of the pinned quests, but this will be fixed in Patch 201.
• Quick chat does not send into the chat if whisper is selected, but this will be fixed in a patch in the near future.
• In some cases, Character Profiles do not respect the toggles of the equipped outfit.

Other Issues

• Players can incorrectly open the Tint Options menu using hotkeys while already in Copy Tint mode, which may cause overlapping UI.
• Players are currently unable to enter Tint mode if they are actively highlighting an item while in placement mode.
• Interacting with fences while in Tint mode may incorrectly consume or cause a loss of crafting materials.
• The Estate Roof Connector currently has limited placement and will only snap to the sides of the Alchemist’s Cottage.
• Visiting players with "Visitor" or "Editor" permissions are not receiving a notification explaining they do not have permission to use Copy Tint mode.
• The Copy Tint mode interface is missing its background graphic, which may make the control instructions difficult to read.
• Follow pet animals with aura have less intensity than intended in the world environment.
• Rooms are incorrectly blocking the placement of second-story assets when ceiling decor is already present.
• Applying Tints to Decor items that have light sources (e.g. lamps) causes the asset's light source to appear permanently active.
• Acquiring Animal Starter Bundle items when a player's inventory is full causes the items to be incorrectly routed directly to storage instead of the inventory overflow.
• Home Tour plot names sometimes don’t update after you change them, if the plot has already been submitted to Home Tours.
• Moving objects with attached pieces can cause visual glitches. When moving a parent object with items connected to its socket, the socket itself may stay behind visually.
• The Social Panel may get stuck on screen if you open and close the Map and Premium Store quickly.
• Fireworks may not display the correct designs on some graphics settings.
• Placing buildings or cubicle pieces directly on top of your character causes your character to get stuck.
• The action bar UI may disappear while navigating your Home Plot.
• Snap points may reject second-story placement when ceiling decor is already placed inside them.
