Palia’s fall vibes are ranch-shaped with Of Barns & Briars update

Singularity 6 today announced the latest update for its cozy multiplayer game, Palia. The latest patch, 0.195, introduces new features building out the homesteading vibes just in time for the cozy fall season. Among other features, the game adds the ranching skill, the first new skill since the game launched; Daily Quests, and the debut of the Home Lines feature. The update launches today.

The Ranching skill is focused on caring for and breeding animals within your home plot. These include Pekis (fowl who produce eggs), Trufflets (pigs who forage mushrooms), Ormuu (cows who produce milk, though they require much attention to do so) and Bumbles (bees… just bees). The developers state they plan to add more species in the future. Players have to keep their animals happy and fed, and can also breed them for specific traits.
