Magic tuesday - foxes, sloths, cabinets, oh my!

i.imgur.com/7mU5s.png

I hope you've all brushed up on your fox brushing (get it??), because foxes have finally been discovered in Ur. Time to get some fiber and turn it into cloth with the spindle and loomer; grab them from your local hardware or animal goods vendor.

If foxes aren't up your alley, then perhaps the sloth is more to your liking. Grab some metal rods and prepare to make snails. Sloths love metal.

For those players who have a lot of junk to store, we've reintroduced cabinets. They come in 3 sizes (small, regular and wall) and a variety of designs. Just check your furniture bag next time you're home (You'll need to leave your house and /home again to get them).

Miss your old firebog home? No longer! We've released some new furniture upgrades so your can recreate your authentic bog experience.

So head out to brush some foxes and create some snails. Lets us know what you think and tell us about any bugs you uncover. Go!

Note 1: We're gradually unlocking new areas of the world. This process will take a couple of hours.

---Known Issues---

We are investigating these things:

-Open verb may be available when new Cabinet is in your bag
-Some players may not be getting the Fox Brush or Bait from Ranger
-Some cabinets which have more than 16 slots only allow you that many- FIXED
-Rug recipe was removed- not a bug, sorry! 

-Inventory area grows large with pixelated graphic when using fox brush for some players
-Reports of zooming issues near Foxes and Sloths
-Loss of Fiber when canceling spinning action- FIXED
-If you get Fox Brush out before Fox appears, brushing may fail

-Spaceship Cabinet takes two tries to open- FIXED
-Stuck Sloth on Kaha Haha- FIXED
-Keyholders cannot open cabinet- yet.

-Going "back to world" with an open cabinet will show the open cabinet display. Just hit "done" to close it then.

  • You folks have made an old guy happy today!  Thanks!   ╚(•⌂•)╝

  • In the large cabinets, I cant drag anything into the bottom 4 rows. The empty slot highlights like the others but the item doesnt move from the inventory into the slots.

    The other 2 cabinets seem to be fine.

  • The - and + zoom options didn't work at all until I clicked one of the two options on the speech bubble, at which point they worked again.  I didn't try typing /zoom, so maybe that would've worked.

    Also, it seems that the ranger is giving bad advice regarding bait.  Igniting it seems to bring them to the street if they are not already around.

  • Sloth's "Yawn, see ya" speech bubble appears at bottom right of screen; only completely visible if I'm zoomed out.

  • Bees...I couldn't zoom in on the ranger either (after the speech bubble appears).  Same thing happened with The Rube too.

  • Also a keyboard purist, but I'm not having too much trouble with fox brushing.  

    Some tips: don't go to the first preserve/park/habitat you find.  There are three regions for foxes, and I found a park partway into the second region that was empty.  The first one I stopped at in the first region off Shimla Mirch was packed, but there are plenty of empty ones if you go just a wee bit further.  

    Your brush does not need to be immediately over the fox when brushing, just release it when you see the text change to "brush fox" or whatnot, and even if the fox has moved on, I was receiving fibers.  

    Stand behind bushes, that way the open areas stay open and easy to see foxes in.  

    I can live with it, though I seriously hate using the mouse when I don't have to.  Always inefficient, and it tires my wrist faster.  Despite that the ranger explains the mechanics, I predict that the wonderful people in live help will have to explain how to harvest fibers over and over and over and over and over and over.  It's the only thing, period, that you have to drag a tool out to work with, and the only thing other than the crafting window that is mouse only.  A lot of impatient people will skip right through the ranger text then be completely clueless when they can't select the fox.  

    On the upside, it actually makes the fox able to be sneaky and sly, whereas if I could just hit enter as he slipped by, the "sly fox" bit wouldn't be communicated by the mechanic.

  • Like York, the big cabinets won't accept to all the available slots. Except I can only fill the top four rows and the rest won't work.

  • So do you personally have to drop the bait to get a fox to come out? Been standing in Byssus Park for a good 10 min with tons of bait stinking the place up and no foxes at all. The bait was here when I got here.
    Posted 8 months ago by Violet Faulds Subscriber! | Permalink
  • yup, my wine cabinet won't fill up either, only half slots will fill.
    Also for those of us with disabled hands, the fox brushing is very difficult.
    Posted 8 months ago by ~Annie~ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I didn't have to use all my bait Violet, just like Saucelah described you just wait til the message appears on your screen with your brush selected then release and bingo you have it!  Wanted to thank 2020smoke personally for always being one of the most kind and generous of folks with knowledge so I knew what to do and where to go!  So many wonderful kind peeps in Glitch, makes it just wonderful place to play.   Luck to all and fabulous job TS!!!!

  • I had the issue of items not sitting on my counters right. So I removed three items from the counter top. a spice box, a spice trophy and 4/5 bottles of wine of the dead. Put the cabinet in decorating invenotry then back into room. Changed out of decorate mode and can not find my wine of the dead. I moved all furniture in the general area. any other suggestions. Oh, I did try a refresh.

  • the cabinet issue (bottom 16 slots on large cabinets not working) is known - we're working on a fix. we'll update the topic to mention this

    "The - and + zoom options didn't work at all until I clicked one of the two options on the speech bubble" - aha!
    Posted 8 months ago by Bees! Subscriber! | Permalink
  • As Saucelah said, it's really extremely difficult to brush foxes, when you are not used to use mouse (or touchpad, in my case) to play the Glitch.

    Could you please consider adding other options? (All other things in the game are controllable with keyboard and since I am used to use only keyboard, it was really difficult to find out how to do this.)

  • Love the cabinets...awesome job on the artwork.  Love the bog furniture!  Yay!  Got a bog fish bowl now!!  Love all the other new options as well...haven't played with many of them since I wanted to get out to find some wild animals...

    Working towards finding foxes and sloths...still making my way over to the preserves...having to much fun walking around to teleport...

    Sad to see we don't have street projects to build out the new areas...would have been nice to have that little extra to do, but I guess it's good since we can save our resources for future home building. 

    But hey, I'll be playing all night with the new updates!  Thanks for some fun this week!

  • Maybe its bad technique or possibly just that the area was very crowded but I found the give verb on the brush a real problem , partly because I was scared I would give away my brush and partly it just got annoying, would it be possible to make it so that you couldnt give your brush in a fox reserve?

    Other than that I am in love with the sloth, he is totally my kind a creature, slow and steady and perfect for a silly laptop besides he has a bandana how awesome is that lol.

  • "would it be possible to make it so that you couldnt give your brush in a fox reserve?" - you can't. dropping the brush on another player will tell you that you can't trade in preserves

  • The 'License to Brush Foxes' badge did not recognize my 'Gift of Gab' buff.  I still have the buff.

  • Update to the missing wine of the dead, found it at the very far left of my back yard.. lol I set it down while I was in my house at the farthest right part of my house and it crawled it's way to my yard. Silly wine.

  • I just tried to spin 697 fibers (half of what I had in total) and canceled, and the fibers are gone now.
    Is this a bug?
    Posted 8 months ago by Epic Rose Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The Space Ship large cabinet seems to always take two tries to open.  i select 'open' and nothing happens, then i click the button again, and it opens.

  • Now that the worlds are so much bigger, can we expect new mass transit modes? (Like expanded subway lines... or maybe cable cars!)

  • I had "too much fun" and am taking a break before exploring further.  Thank you so much for the Foxes and Sloths and Cabinets!  It was good fun.  The foxes were often too fast for me but I still managed to obtain more than 700 fibers!  I have some pain and am slow (I had to give up arcade games) so it was just a bit difficult to brush a fast fox.  I suspect it will get a little easier for me once the crowd dissipates a bit.  For those with the same problem, go to the furthest out preserves.  The farther into an area I got, the fewer the Glichen and the easier it was for me to brush a fox.  I haven't looked for sloths yet, I'll do that later!

  • Repairing brush on preserve makes the brush become invisible with just a blue bar... an your inventory becomes brown an can not tell what is what.
    Posted 8 months ago by Disturbed Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Not read all this but I'm sure when I first refreshed I had the notification pop up that 'I could now make cabinets' - am I going mad or did anyone else see this pop up too?

    I checked the woodmaker and no task there to make a cabinet.  Also I was able to make a rug but can't see it in my inventory.

  • Epic Rose, we are looking at that

  • Thank you all so much. It is all fantastic and I'm happy to be on excitement overload again.
    Posted 8 months ago by Grackle Subscriber! | Permalink
  • So excited! I did a wee bit of exploring, a bit of fox brushing, and am saving sloths for later.

    On behalf of the Hoarders of Ur, THANK YOU for the cabinets!!!  I especially love the wall safe.

  • The Sloths are, gready little so and so's, just love them. So glad I made lots of metal rods. Foxes were a bit difficult to brush, but once I got the hang of it, soon got loads of fibre. Off to bed for me now 1.30am.

  • I've noticed that sometimes, especially at the far edge of the reserve, one or two foxes become "stuck" and go backwards and forwards, not particularly quickly. They remain there for quite a while - no bait involved - and it's very easy to brush them many times. I've accumulated enough fibre for almost 1200 threads without much effort.

    Seems silly to complain about it being "too easy," but I'm posting here just in case it is a bug.
    Posted 8 months ago by Fergmus Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Same as windborn above on the large spaceship cabinet. 2 tries to open each time.

  • Is it true that the sloths sleep 18 hours, but they always party 24?

  • I just got a sloth that seems to be stuck eating.  Was doing great and then he just got stuck.  It's Erupekku Rumple...poor guy took my metal rod and is overdosing on it.  "Glitch"  Help please and thank you!   Great fun!

  • I think the sloths are big fans of Mr. T *love*!

    Also, thanks Devs for making this release this week and not last week when I was wrapping my tv show. I can play ALL DAY now!

  • You really need to make it so that it is possible to brush a fox with some jerk deliberately standing on top of you to keep you from being able to (and admitting it!).  Since we already know it's not possible to stop people from being jerks.

  • Oh my gosh Bees I just about DIED laughing at that image :D The first "soon" one wasn't my idea but I did make it so I am very very amused at the "now" :D

  • Is Fox Bait going to be craftable soon? I don't wanna go broke trying to get some Fibers.

  • Cabinets!  Fabulous!

    Only one issue.  It's hard to open the cabinets without moving them, even when I'm not in decorate mode.  I miss my blue-highlighted cabinet that just opens when I hit "Enter".

  • How is Kristen Bell not on this game? Sloths abound!
    Posted 8 months ago by Tamashii Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Just wanted to say what a hoot.  Those Sloths are just too cute!  Great job!  Love it and love the new areas, great to explore and the tree climbing.  Love it love it love it!  Keep it coming, you're doing fabulous work!

  • Ok so I was not a huge fan of the bog homes before (too dark for me), but I LOVE the new bog furniture options!
    Especially the leeeezard!

  • Fox brushing errors sometimes even though you have hair on brush you do not recieve it instead its giving item stack error ... has some random numbers an letters 
    Posted 8 months ago by Disturbed Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Love love love the fox brushing...what fun.  I will be addicted to that for quite a while, I think...or at least until next week ;)

    I was having horrible lag in the sloth zones, even though there weren't that many people there. I probably should have reloaded, but I was IMing with a couple friends, and I didn't want to interrupt the conversation at that moment.

    Love the new furniture, and soooooooooooooooooooooo appreciate having cabinets back. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!  The only issue I have with them is how they are currently named...the wall cabinets are 3x3, but the small cabinets are 4x4, which is bigger than the wall ones...I would just think anything 'small' would be the smallest of the options...just a bit confusing to me.  Thanks for the bog furniture and accessories!

    Oh, and thanks for the crabs chatting in the local chat, as well as the fox ranger, etc.  Helps me keep track of what was said.  There was something else I wanted to thank you for...but I can't remember right now...hope to remember it later...

  • Apologies if this has already been mentioned ... but since trade is off, is it possible to make it where other Glitchen are not the default highlighted items in the fox preserves? Several times I try to drop my brush on a fox but it's hiding behind someone and I can't get to it!
