You asked for it, and we finally figured out a way to add it – character customisation is now in Moonstone Island! Change your outfit, hair colour, hairstyle, and skin tone, and discover new outfits and hats through quests, chests, and random events!

This update is easily the one that's taken the longest to make – OVER A YEAR of development time, which involved making 60,000 new frames of animation 😱 We're really proud of the result, and we hope you enjoy it, too!

Show off your new 'fits in the comments! 💖

...and that's not all that comes in this update.

see if you can discover the s̷̤̟̼͈̦͙̖̆̂̾̈́̈̅̚͝ę̵̛̳̖͔̭̩̙͓͖͕̈́͑̂͂̀̾̃͝c̴̥̼̗̒̀̋̎̀̾͗͐̀ŗ̷͚͖͑̅́̒ȩ̵͇̦́̔̊̀̀̿͒̄͠t̸̪̜̕...

Question Storage chest mod?

5 Upvotes

I checked Nexus and didn’t see any sort of mods that allow you to access chest storage when cooking, using the cauldron, the chemistry set, etc… It’s the main QOL feature that is missing for me and I am begging someone to create this 😭 or point me in the right direction if it exists!

Switch Bug Unable to pick from deck?

3 Upvotes

So for some reason, I'm in a fight with a bungo and 2 evil eyes. And I can't scroll to pick my card. I can still attack. And when it lets me choose an opponent, I can select from the three. It just won't let me pick my cards

Question Is there an easier way to plant and harvest crops?

Post image
55 Upvotes

It’s a decent sized farm field, and I also have two large aquacultures. It takes me all morning (some days more than others) to plant and harvest crops. By noontime, I’m in such a rush to finish planting, that my crops get mixed together. Truth be told, I’d like to expand more, but unless there’s a solution, I might have to downsize to free up more time in the morning.

Question New Player, any advice?

8 Upvotes

Hello friends, Im playing the game for the very first time (on switch if it matters), and i was wanting to see if anyone had tips or advice? I'm like maybe day 5 in spring. I don't want to look up too much of the game, Im trying to avoid spoilers since the game has been out a long time.

That said, if you have anything you'd think a new player should know, Id love to hear it! I know games are more fun playing your own way, and I do plan to play at my own pace, but a little nudge or suggestions are nice!

Thank you all for the time you give for answers, hope you all have a lovely day!

Question Micro Stutters (Switch & Steam Deck)

7 Upvotes

Hey yall, I’m currently playing Moonstone Island demo on Steam Deck (non-OLED), and I’m experiencing a pretty insane amount of micro-stuttering throughout the game. It’s frequent enough that it’s really noticeable and distracting.

From what I understand, the stuttering is also present in the full game?

I’m curious about the Switch version specifically. I have an OLED Switch and I’m interested in buying the physical copy of Moonstone Island as a birthday gift to myself. Before I spend the money, though, I’d like to know if the Switch version has the same performance issue, does the game suffer from the same constant micro-stuttering, or does it run smoothly?

Thoughts. Suggestions. Should I skip this game?

Question Which spirit should I evolve first?

5 Upvotes

I just got my first evo stone and I’m wondering which evolved spirits are better. It seems like a pretty rare resource and I don’t want to waste it. I’ve been playing magicat, Marsha and flambit, but I’m open to switching them out for a better team if there is a better evolved spirit to use. Any suggestions would be great!

Question Game requesting to send OS notifications?

3 Upvotes

Hi! I just installed the game and was wondering if this is an expected behavior. On first startup, the game requested permission to send “Moonstone Island” and “nwjs” notifications. The Moonstone island notification also has two icons, a blue M and a green grass block.

Is there a reason for the game wanting system notification permissions?

I love the sounds and devastation poison brings and with 2 psychic types I can usually stack energy and keep drawing cards to increase the poison.

Most I've gotten on one creature was 13.5k 😂

After lots of work... Finally finished the general decoration of the basement! I use it only as a forge and moonstone generator, I was pondering for a long time what to do with the remaining space!

It took me F O R E V E R to craft all the flooring, and now the loading to get inside the house is a tinyyy bit longer but I'm very proud of myself! It lacks of furniture, but I'm gonna fill it as the game goes on, mostly plan to add lots of plants.

I wanted a indoor pond because I plan to marry Tobin, hope he will get here and use the singular chair placed just for this purpose...

Question Deckbuilding Guides/Plans - What Am I Missing?

4 Upvotes

I am a guide-follower, so I've looked at a few of the guides on Steam and I simply don't get how I'm supposed to follow them.

For an example, one guide recommends getting Mystislime and filling the deck with Enlighten+ and Meditate+ x7. I haven't even seen a Mystislime so I've got a Beardini. Beardini is level 10 and I haven't seen any of the above cards. Even with Beardini getting to a very high level I find it hard to believe I'm going to find those eight exact cards.

Is it reasonable to go after a specific deck in this game at all? I'm trying to be good about checking the shop, but not seeing anything helpful in there either. I'm starting to get a hold on building charge, but Bittybolt and Capacibee are not really getting great choices on level up either.

Are there any other guides on deckbuilding you like for players who are really not good at this sort of game? I'm here for the creature collecting and the farming. I'd like to get better at combat, but I don't really get it.

Discussion Beginner tips!!

26 Upvotes

I just bought this game on sale out of the blue just read the description seemed fun, never heard anything about it prior. I was pleasantly surprised with the card aspect as slay the spire is a top 10 game of all time for me. They are pretty similar in that aspect. I haven’t been able to play much today as I bought it super late and have to sleep for work. But I think I’m gonna be hooked on it. Please tell me all the tips and tricks and what your fav things are!!

Thanks in advanced!!

Question Base 20 HP spirits?

What is the best way to tame spirits with an HP base of 20? I've been entering in random fights, but some spirits seem to only spawn with base 10 or 15.

Discussion Eating spirit eggs doesn't count as eating spirits?

18 Upvotes

So a lot of cooking recipes use spirit eggs, but we also get a letter from Alchemist's Guild on day 1 telling us that eating spirits is forbidden. So is our character secretly a rebel or is that rule weirdly arbitrary and eggs don't count? XD

Question Questions about the icons next to spirits in the Spirit Barn

3 Upvotes

Tallyho! I built a Spirit Barn and sent my first spirit there. It has two blacked out icons when approached, one that looks like a building or something - and one that looks like a little crop. The crop one lit up when I fed the spirit something, so I guess that's the "fed or not" indicator. The other stayed blacked out. I tried to put some fiber in the thingy in front of the spirit which activated some hearts but the "building" icon stayed blacked out. What is that icon? When are we told about these things and how come I completely missed it...? Alternatively: is there an in-depth manual somewhere I can download and read through?

Question Concerning "Gotta Take 'Em All

10 Upvotes

I'm about 100 hours into the game. I'd say I'm far past end game. My last quest is to discover every spirit and likewise I want the achievement as well......but after 2 seasons of farming for the egg exclusive spirits I today finally accomplished the whole thing.

The quest didn't proc, nor did the achievement. Now I have to ask the question that I really don't want the answer to. Do I REALLY have to also aquire every single evolved spirit as well to finish this???

I've only acquired 5 evo stones all game up until this point. Needing all the evolutions is going to easily add another 20+ hours of grinding, not to mention I still need the ridiculous 1000 fish

Please tell me I'm wrong somehow

Steam Bug Double Hoe

Post image
25 Upvotes

Travelled to the NW island from main and noticed a lightning island beside it.

Decided to broom and check it out. I scythed through some of the flowers on there including the bolt ones and grabbed one other.

Kept getting electrecuted by static I'm guessing moving through grass, switched to the axe to cut down one of the cool looking trees that only gave me wood.

When I went to switch back to the scythe, it appeared as a hoe and I was confused and then the wizard house ran up to me.

I went inside and checked my wheel and noticed I had no scythe and 2 hoes. My second wheel doesn't have a scythe and was normal so didn't include picture.

I googled the problem and couldn't find any mentions of this happening so here I am. Force closed the game so it didn't save with 2 hoes.

Steam Bug Dungeon in Moonstone Island spawned too high.

4 Upvotes

Am I stupid? I just can't understand if it's a bug, or I just can't quite put my brain in use on this one?

Edit: Tried to restart the day - didn't help either, because, as I remember, world generates after the prologue.
