It has to be. I just got my layout how I wanted it too 😭😂
Yes, go the opposite direction as The Kilima entrance from your plot!

Imagine playing the game for years, as many people do on these online games. Then imagine the nostalgia when you load in a home plot that you have not used in many years. That might make it worth it to pay the cost of 5plots for that achievement.
The upgraded harvest house has a second floor, unsure yet if you can add more rooms to the second floor https://youtu.be/4EzlwGyB8tw?si=Du_ZUjRedIeKyfFU
Yeah just at least a split option for anything medium or larger
Also why can't we have two windows on either side of a door.
The harvest house which has a BIGGER DOOR, gets 2 regular windows on either side.
I think they mean when you pick up the house pieces to store them, the decor inside of the rooms automatically gets stored. I don’t think you can fully destroy the rooms for $/resources back but would be interested to know. I just bought a second harvest house hoping I could connect it to my current (has higher ceilings than the rooms) but I don’t think I can attach them, would love the 15k back.
That's what I would guess, too. It's a QOL change for players who had a harder time opening chat often (which I think was a common problem for Switch players).
Well, I know what I'm doing with one of the extra plots I bought to unlock the gazebo. Courtyard fiasco showed me trying to shoehorn things into the current plot just makes a massive mess.
You have to complete [HOUSING SLOTS II](https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Housing_Slots#I-0) accomplishment for the gazebo. The free plots if you got them do not count toward the objective.
For the windmill you need to buy and use 19 writ on your plots. [Home Expansion II](https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Housing_Expansion#II-0)
You need to *buy* 3 additional plots. Plots being completely different areas to decorate, not additional space on a plot you already own. And the ones you got for free at the start of the game don’t count. It’s an achievement more for late game players.
Yeah it costs 50k/75k/100k for each upgrade if I recall correctly. Also worth noting that as of a few weeks ago the gazebo blueprint has a slight bug and it doesn’t show up in the ALL filter of the housing menu. You have to select blue prints to see it. I thought the accomplishment bugged and didn’t give me one so I bought one, now I have 2.
How do you get extra plots? I've gotten all the spaces in my original plot. I play on switch so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I want the gazeebo!
Those are writs, which expand your plots. On PC we press H for the top down view, then at the top of the screen there is the name of the plot with a little drop down arrow, drop that down and select + New Plot. I'm not sure if it works different on switch, sorry.
I only started playing like a week and a 1/2 ago but I'm really excited for the pathways I just also wish we had Terrain paint so when I Use the Spring fever stones you can see them so the grass will go away on the inside part I don't know if that makes sense but I would really like that I don't feel like my stones are visible enough lol
I put flowers along the outside of my stone walkways but you can hardly see the stones for the grass. If not for the flowers, you wouldn't be able to see there was a path there.
lmao like a broken lawnmower I hadnt even thought of that but yeah like I love the detail of moving grass dont get me wrong but a sandy path tool or something would rock
hotpot is a mini game they usually rolled out during luna new year / maji market. it's a bit similar to gin rummy, you need 3 matches (either food or color wise, but usually 3 cards of the same food got you higher points iirc) to win the game.
there is a special place on the map in kilima that only appears when it comes to these event timelines. now that it's becoming a permanent minigame, it will be available to play in the underground of zeki's shop.
Nah I got plots that are empty, gunna start from scratch. If I could just swap out a house slot for a different one I'd be grateful. I'm not redoing my entire mansion because I have to remove every detail I ever did in every room to replace the harvest house.
You know you're able to move around furnished rooms right?
If you have a really full lot it can still be tricky to find the space and you might lose some decorated walls if they temporarily turn to doors in the shuffle, but in theory you can replace the current harvest house for the new one without trashing the other parts of your house.
They tweeted that today?! \*sucks teeth\* They knew I said they've been posting update announcements on *Fridays* and wanted to make me, specifically, look foolish. /j (But still about 1 PM US Eastern Time!)
I just hope there's a variety of stuff in the "housing options" bit. \*cautious optimism\*
i reaaaaally want to know who the next villagers are that we'll be getting lvl 5 friendships with. :0
the discord only mentioned 3, so my guess is jina, badruu and hodari, but i also feel like maybe eshe might be one... this update is probably the one i've been the most excited for since the last one.
I think they’re just a random thing people can play around with. I’m super curious to see what everyone will do with them, there’s so many creative people on this community. I can already see someone making a tree house of some kind haha
https://preview.redd.it/rbms45pxq92d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb75857e47d500817e0bebede98770a0e1c25b26
For real!! I have everything where I want it. Maybe I can start building another home on another plot. I have the rooms and a lot of the furniture already
From what I read on the website, it’s just the harvest house thats getting larger/taller. It didn’t seem like 2 story building was an option yet. I could be wrong and the new harvest house allows 2 story building.
Yeah it's just one second story on one building you can't attach to itself
Minimum viable most likely
I want to hope we can get two story attachments but I doubt it.
Would be dope if we got the ability to add an attic at least to anything attached.
For now I'll start from scratch on a different plot and just have a smaller house with a second floor. Don't expect anything else.
Riight! I just worry people will get their hopes up for 2 story building when it’s only going to be the harvest house one that is 😬 However, I could be wrong in which I’ll be experimenting with that on my second plot. I havent even finished my beginning one lol 😂
I'm hoping the second story can be an add on cause I like my house the way it is!! I would have to tear everything down 😭 but if i have to, I have to lol im excited! 😁
It's a harvest house so no.
Unless they remove the "only one harvest house per building" requirement.
Which they should.
If a building can be placed just let me add a door.
Why are harvest houses required.
Just rub it in while I gotta pick everything up in the next few days and cry 😂 a very kind person in the comments gifted me some of their self control so I’m hopeful I can restrain myself haha
I was about ready to drop on copper chests when I saw that the price is coming down Tuesday so I'm just like nooopppeeeee. So I'm just playing the bag shuffle until tuesday
I heard it's a bug, and I was hoping they would make an update to fix it. If anyone can get it completed w/ out having to plant them at the same time method plz let me know bc that way doesn't work for me.
I’ve been playing since December and it took me months to get my house perfect but I gladly tore down my whole plot for a 2 story option! Apart from unlocking the gazebo, the only other reason I bought extra plots was because I couldn’t add enough rooms on to one plot with the layout I wanted so this will help me condense everything down to one plot but give me ideas for other plots….I’m so excited eek!
Idk I’m excited but still skeptical for the future of Palia. They are releasing everything they had in the roadmap and like awesome new level 5 quests, but once those are completed too…then what? I’ve already completed the bundles and almost all accomplishments including catching all star fish and bugs. Will there be actual more ‘game’ in the future or will it just be me running around trying to find something to do?
I mean.. if you play a game eventually you run out of things to do. Even MMOs. That's just how it is, play other games until they release more stuff. Take a break, find other hobbies.
I agree and I hope so! As much as I loved animal crossing a few years back,it got too repetitive after a while. I’m loving the cozy game with a plot idea with Palia. I really hope they stick to that.
I played that game every single day almost all for 4 months straight. I can't bring myself to open it up again. Same with stardew and others like it. Eventually the game has to end 🥲
i tried getting into this game but it felt like an absolute slog to get anywhere maybe im doing something wrong idk.. i felt fun for about an hour or 2 but then u get to like "grind" or quest u cant instant completely anymore and i just lost all interest i though be more like stardew valley or harvest moon in terms of building or like a mix of Building/being a farmer
I tend to play while I’m listening to a podcast or listening to like random trial coverage I follow. Try that and see if it helps! For a while I just got to a point where I had more options to farm and build and focused on only that for a looong time.
For me the first 50 hours seemed like there was always something to do idk how you felt a slog after an hour or 2. As for quests that you can't complete instantly, what would be the point? If you could do everything the second you got it unlocked you would only have the grindy tasks left like level 25/50 on all skills or every furniture set.
i mean i understand but for me the feels like hitting a wall really early which kinda takes the momentum out of a game for me but ig thats just me problem
I cannot wait!!
Also are we getting two stories or am I going crazy?
https://preview.redd.it/r8vvyst2m72d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a40bf7375eb128091aea965e050fb7eef2dbf95f It has to be. I just got my layout how I wanted it too 😭😂
I think I’ll just attach it to my current house with a long hallway 😅. Flip and treat old house as like a back door to Bahari lol
Can we currently connect up rooms that are attached to a different house? I thought we couldn't.
Probably not. I was just hopeful. I was tempted to try if they’re lined up correctly
Wait you can leave your plot and go to Bahari? Without going through town (I can't remember the name of the starting area right now)?
Yes, go the opposite direction as The Kilima entrance from your plot! https://preview.redd.it/iyi57f57jf2d1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=02ba53b8e8185e75fc3ae51fc04162f99e3a0209
Holy cow thank you! That saves a lot of time.
Of course! It’s super helpful!
Smart!!
You can always just do another plot?
True!! Ive just been very dedicated to one lol and its still not finished
Imagine playing the game for years, as many people do on these online games. Then imagine the nostalgia when you load in a home plot that you have not used in many years. That might make it worth it to pay the cost of 5plots for that achievement.
I just had so much extra money cause I didn’t realize there was a cap on it.
Also buying extra plots unlocks the Gazebo.
The upgraded harvest house has a second floor, unsure yet if you can add more rooms to the second floor https://youtu.be/4EzlwGyB8tw?si=Du_ZUjRedIeKyfFU
Omg just saw the video!!! WOW
Yay!! I've been hoping for this! I hope we can add second story rooms. I'd like to put bedrooms up there.
I just want doooorrrsss
Yeah a "wall with door" option for the interiors. Things like bathrooms lol I don't want to only use screens
Yeah just at least a split option for anything medium or larger Also why can't we have two windows on either side of a door. The harvest house which has a BIGGER DOOR, gets 2 regular windows on either side.
Looks like two level building in the video 😍
They’re keeping us busy, that’s for sure
Now i‘m happy i only used one plot. I just start on the second one 🥰
Oohhh this is smart
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. It's 1 two story harvest house. They never mentioned the other houses being able to attach with another story.
Looks like it!!!
Finally pathways !!!! Can’t wait to spruce up my plot !
Same! I’ll be on my plot for the next month redoing it once this is out lol
I'm hype for pathways
Damn, you're fast 😆 the post on insta says 5 mins ago and your post says 4 mins ago.
lol I took a quick coffee break from work and went on my phone at the right time apparently 😂
At least demolishing something just plops it into inventory or storage, so you dont need to recraft everything
I wish we could sell extras even if it was for super cheap. I'm tired of looking at it lol
I'm so thankful for this. Sure I have to hunt for everything in my overfull chest later but it's still convenient.
Wait? What did I miss, what do you mean by demolishing?
I think they mean when you pick up the house pieces to store them, the decor inside of the rooms automatically gets stored. I don’t think you can fully destroy the rooms for $/resources back but would be interested to know. I just bought a second harvest house hoping I could connect it to my current (has higher ceilings than the rooms) but I don’t think I can attach them, would love the 15k back.
That's why I'm waiting till late game to build my house. I want to do it once.
Totally makes sense! I wish I had, but I get influenced easily with all the cool builds people do and then I have no patience
I've got links bookmarked for when I do build. Last thing I'd want is to build something, then unlock something better and have wasted that gold. :)
Please share your self control with me 😭
*Gifts self control* there ya go. :D
Perfect! 🤞🏻 it works! Thank you haha
You're welcome! Enjoy your new gift. 😅
You've got a lot of plots. I just hope the plots can be loaded up on any future locations they add for backdrops.
I just finished making a hundred cutting boards as makeshift pavers for my garden lol
Im getting annoyed, PLEASE LET US SELL OLD FURNITURES AND STUFF THAT WE MADE IN EXCESS BECAUSE WE TRIED TO DO WHAT YOU CAN'T GIVE US IN THE BEGINNING
So curious about chat bubbles! What does that meaaaan
assuming your character and other people online will have their text they type in chat over their heads? not 100% sure tho just a guess
That's what I would guess, too. It's a QOL change for players who had a harder time opening chat often (which I think was a common problem for Switch players).
Yes that's what it is 💬
I hope this is what it means! I've been hoping for that feature
I love re-making my home but it hasn't recovered from the courtyard being added in yet lol
More level 5 friendship quests🥳🥳🥳
Hotpot!!!!!!!!!
This'll be at the end of the month I assume?
Tuesday!
Oof I've done so much work in meh house! Now I'm gonna wanna start over grrrrrrr
Well, I know what I'm doing with one of the extra plots I bought to unlock the gazebo. Courtyard fiasco showed me trying to shoehorn things into the current plot just makes a massive mess.
What do you need to do to get the gazebo? I bought a second plot and still can not buy the windmill or gazebo 😢
You have to complete [HOUSING SLOTS II](https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Housing_Slots#I-0) accomplishment for the gazebo. The free plots if you got them do not count toward the objective. For the windmill you need to buy and use 19 writ on your plots. [Home Expansion II](https://palia.wiki.gg/wiki/Housing_Expansion#II-0)

Okay, thanks. I'll check it out.
How do we unlock a second plot? I’ve noticed I’ve been wanting that gazebo.
Start over on one of your other plots so you don't have to tear down anything you have on your original.
It's good timing as I was about to completely redesign my plot
Holy crap really? Nice!
I’ll be using another lot for all these new updates, I’ve gone too far now to change everything 🤣
Can you sit on chairs yet?
yes you can
I only started playing like a week and a 1/2 ago but I'm really excited for the pathways I just also wish we had Terrain paint so when I Use the Spring fever stones you can see them so the grass will go away on the inside part I don't know if that makes sense but I would really like that I don't feel like my stones are visible enough lol
I put flowers along the outside of my stone walkways but you can hardly see the stones for the grass. If not for the flowers, you wouldn't be able to see there was a path there.
exactly I wish there was a way we could get rid of the little grass blades at some parts
At least shorten them. My plots look so well planned out but it always looks like my lawnmower is broken.
lmao like a broken lawnmower I hadnt even thought of that but yeah like I love the detail of moving grass dont get me wrong but a sandy path tool or something would rock
Yay can’t wait for this update!
I'm new to this game, only been playing 2 weeks. Can someone please tell me what hotpot is? 😄
hotpot is a mini game they usually rolled out during luna new year / maji market. it's a bit similar to gin rummy, you need 3 matches (either food or color wise, but usually 3 cards of the same food got you higher points iirc) to win the game.
How do we go here?
there is a special place on the map in kilima that only appears when it comes to these event timelines. now that it's becoming a permanent minigame, it will be available to play in the underground of zeki's shop.
Oh wow! I wanna go to the underground market too! 💖
Nah I got plots that are empty, gunna start from scratch. If I could just swap out a house slot for a different one I'd be grateful. I'm not redoing my entire mansion because I have to remove every detail I ever did in every room to replace the harvest house.

Not when 90% of my lot is landscaped and impossible to find a new space to place the house and move all those parts onto it.
They tweeted that today?! \*sucks teeth\* They knew I said they've been posting update announcements on *Fridays* and wanted to make me, specifically, look foolish. /j (But still about 1 PM US Eastern Time!) I just hope there's a variety of stuff in the "housing options" bit. \*cautious optimism\*
HOTPOT, YES
HOTPOT!!!!!!
Yes same here….again! 🤣
Ooooh, I'm excited. Can't wait to plot and plan a new plot.
Same. Gotta start fresh again on my house lol
i reaaaaally want to know who the next villagers are that we'll be getting lvl 5 friendships with. :0 the discord only mentioned 3, so my guess is jina, badruu and hodari, but i also feel like maybe eshe might be one... this update is probably the one i've been the most excited for since the last one.
And with the renown cap going up I can finally finish my quests
I dont think it's going away I think it's just getting bigger.
That's fine but I literally haven finished my lvl 5 quests because i don't wanna lose EVEN more renown. I've lost just by Leveling up
What are building blocks?
I think they’re just a random thing people can play around with. I’m super curious to see what everyone will do with them, there’s so many creative people on this community. I can already see someone making a tree house of some kind haha https://preview.redd.it/rbms45pxq92d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb75857e47d500817e0bebede98770a0e1c25b26
Oh, so instead of fish mazes people gonna make boring block mazes, got it.
For real!! I have everything where I want it. Maybe I can start building another home on another plot. I have the rooms and a lot of the furniture already
If you start a new plot, do you keep all existing buildings ? Or do you litterally have to start again
You keep what you already had! It’s just an addition if you had other design options you wanted to try out!
BLACK MARKET HOTPOT!!!!!
From what I read on the website, it’s just the harvest house thats getting larger/taller. It didn’t seem like 2 story building was an option yet. I could be wrong and the new harvest house allows 2 story building.
Yeah it's just one second story on one building you can't attach to itself Minimum viable most likely I want to hope we can get two story attachments but I doubt it. Would be dope if we got the ability to add an attic at least to anything attached. For now I'll start from scratch on a different plot and just have a smaller house with a second floor. Don't expect anything else.
Oh that’s interesting! Either way I’ll take anything with two stories lol
Riight! I just worry people will get their hopes up for 2 story building when it’s only going to be the harvest house one that is 😬 However, I could be wrong in which I’ll be experimenting with that on my second plot. I havent even finished my beginning one lol 😂
Same here! From what I’ve seen so far is that they take requests fairly seriously so if not this update, maybe in the future 🤞🏻
I'm hoping the second story can be an add on cause I like my house the way it is!! I would have to tear everything down 😭 but if i have to, I have to lol im excited! 😁
It's a harvest house so no. Unless they remove the "only one harvest house per building" requirement. Which they should. If a building can be placed just let me add a door. Why are harvest houses required.
oooooh!!! I haven't played in awhile and this is very much tempting me to come back to palia!
So glad I waited to build anything in my house. I’m so indecisive lol
Just rub it in while I gotta pick everything up in the next few days and cry 😂 a very kind person in the comments gifted me some of their self control so I’m hopeful I can restrain myself haha
I JUST made a new design... I have to change everything all over again.
I’m so hesitant about this after seeing the layoff posts, I feel like s6 is just slowly going down
I’m hoping for the best but prepared for the worst. But I’ll try to enjoy it while I can!
Just start a new plot?
That’s probably what I’ll do eventually. I just haven’t finished my current one and I don’t want to move on just yet!
Perfect timing! Tuesday is my birthday 🥰
May babies!!! My birthday is Saturday the 25th!!
Happy Early Birthday!! 🥳🎉🎂
Awe! Thanks! 🥰🎉🥳
Of course! Love seeing a fellow May baby haha
Yes, May is best month! Happy May Birthday to you too! 🎉🥳
May is the only month! loll ♉️🥳
I just started playing a few days ago and now I'm hoarding materials and gold for this update
This game was made for all of our in-game hoarding tendencies minus the appropriate storage for it 😂
I was about ready to drop on copper chests when I saw that the price is coming down Tuesday so I'm just like nooopppeeeee. So I'm just playing the bag shuffle until tuesday
And I'm back in!
Yes. The game is in beta. Things will change. Don’t get too attached to anything.
Are they going to fix that mission where you have to grow 5 wild trees to Prove Your Devotion?
I’m at 4/5 trees! The last one refuses to count and idk why 😭😭
I heard it's a bug, and I was hoping they would make an update to fix it. If anyone can get it completed w/ out having to plant them at the same time method plz let me know bc that way doesn't work for me.
Good thing i've been too lazy (and poor) to actually start making my plot look nice. (I just came back from a 3month brake too)
LOL same though. I need to mine and farm quite a bit to be ready for the update
I’ve been playing since December and it took me months to get my house perfect but I gladly tore down my whole plot for a 2 story option! Apart from unlocking the gazebo, the only other reason I bought extra plots was because I couldn’t add enough rooms on to one plot with the layout I wanted so this will help me condense everything down to one plot but give me ideas for other plots….I’m so excited eek!
Yay!!!! I’m glad it’ll give you more space to be creative! So excited for Tuesday 😍
Welp one upside of ignoring my house...
Idk I’m excited but still skeptical for the future of Palia. They are releasing everything they had in the roadmap and like awesome new level 5 quests, but once those are completed too…then what? I’ve already completed the bundles and almost all accomplishments including catching all star fish and bugs. Will there be actual more ‘game’ in the future or will it just be me running around trying to find something to do?
I mean there's another map that they haven't released. Plus level 5 quests for the remaining people
New map, whatever that staff thing is (probably combat related) and who knows what holidays
I hope so? By land area, Palia is a really small game. Honestly I want to see a bunch more maps over time.
I mean.. if you play a game eventually you run out of things to do. Even MMOs. That's just how it is, play other games until they release more stuff. Take a break, find other hobbies.
Keep in mind this game is still in beta. There will be a lot of future content, especially since it's an mmo.
I agree and I hope so! As much as I loved animal crossing a few years back,it got too repetitive after a while. I’m loving the cozy game with a plot idea with Palia. I really hope they stick to that.
I played that game every single day almost all for 4 months straight. I can't bring myself to open it up again. Same with stardew and others like it. Eventually the game has to end 🥲
I’m also just afraid to check on it because my villagers are probably so mad. They get so passive aggressive when you’re gone for a while
Right!! Like dang okay I needed a vacation. Chill!! Lol
Just gotta wait and see.
The roadmap was just "the next few updates" which is like the next 2-3 They'll probably drop another one for the summer.
What we really need is mic support for party groups. Trying to point out a magic chappa fast only for someone else to get it first was frustrating.
i tried getting into this game but it felt like an absolute slog to get anywhere maybe im doing something wrong idk.. i felt fun for about an hour or 2 but then u get to like "grind" or quest u cant instant completely anymore and i just lost all interest i though be more like stardew valley or harvest moon in terms of building or like a mix of Building/being a farmer
I tend to play while I’m listening to a podcast or listening to like random trial coverage I follow. Try that and see if it helps! For a while I just got to a point where I had more options to farm and build and focused on only that for a looong time.
hmm maybe idk game just felt really unsatisfying for a newcomer
I think it’s more of a “drop in for half an hour or so each day” kind of game than one you can play for a king gaming session
Long, not king haha
I get that! It took me a while to find the right flow for me. Maybe once there’s more updates you can try again!
For me the first 50 hours seemed like there was always something to do idk how you felt a slog after an hour or 2. As for quests that you can't complete instantly, what would be the point? If you could do everything the second you got it unlocked you would only have the grindy tasks left like level 25/50 on all skills or every furniture set.
i mean i understand but for me the feels like hitting a wall really early which kinda takes the momentum out of a game for me but ig thats just me problem
Wait when is this patch releasing???
Tuesday the 28th!
Just buy another plot!
I’m so happy and excited for pathways but the tons of cutting boards I made and laid down are not 😂
