As a reminder, with the recent changes you will now need to own a character in order to use encounters. Without the use of food items, each character will recieve 3 energy per day, and you can change your character up 3 times per day. Rewards from encounters are now granted to the active character's inventory - remember to check there if you're unsure of where something may have gone!

Additionally, some encounters now have the chance to inflict status conditions onto characters. Some options on some encounters also require specific items to be in your character's inventory to be chosen.

  • Crafting Materials
  • Cooking Items
  • Misc Items
  • Currency

GARDENING:

We only have one new crop for this round, Turnips! Turnips are grown in the Under Awan area.

By slug

You can obtain one raffle ticket from the prize code at the end of the dialogue event. Additional tickets can be found through foraging!

Part 3's raffle design was won by Lucky_cat_Frank!

Underglazed vesselS:

Underglazed Vessels, the selfbreeding MYOs for Clayfoxes, are now functional!

These work a little differently from the other selfbreeds. Creating a slot will instead roll a pool of traits from the parents for you, similar to a random MYO. It will also generate a color palette suggestion, but you are not required to use it in your design so long as your character still resembles it's parents to a reasonable degree - it's just for fun! There is also a chance to generate twins.

To create a slot, rather than opening the item from your inventory, you need to go to the pairings page, linked under 'play' on the navbar. You will have to attach your Underglazed Vessel and set the parents, and will also have the opportunity to attach a Lucky Charm.

If you want to use a parent Clayfox owned by a user other than yourself, they will have to grant you a breeding permission. They can do this by going to the breeding permissions page accessible on the sidebar of the character's masterlist entry. All characters have 100 breeding permissions that you can grant or use - if you somehow run out, you can request more for free.

You will not be able to add or remove traits until after the kit design is already approved, but a Lucky Charm can be used whilst generating the slot to increase the odds of inheriting Mythical rarity traits.

If you happen to roll a kit with an impossible set of traits (such as a tail modifier with no base tail shape) you can submit it to the Random MYO Fixes prompt.

The way non-Clayfox selfbreedings work has not been changed in any way.

misc:

  • All characters now have a colors field on their masterlist entries. Some existing characters have had them automatically generated based on their images and some have not - we're unsure of why this is. This happened as a side effect of our update and we cannot find a correlation between characters with and without it.
  • If you happen to want us to manually generate the palette on one of your characters you're free to ask us to, but it is completely optional and has no real function. Keep in mind these palettes may also pull from unusual places such as lineart, shading, or backgrounds and thus may not be truly representative of a characters' colours.
  • winterbunz now has a staff sona!

The next part will be released on December 8th. We hope you all enjoy it!

Disquiet: Intermission 1

Posted 10 November 2024, 14:08:31 EST by Digimon

Hi everyone! Our first Intermission for the Disquiet event is here!

PLEASE READ THIS NEWSLETTER IN FULL.

If you wish to read the newsletter without getting story spoilers, then we recommend reading the dialogue event first before scrolling!!

An Important Reminder:

We do not tolerate any form of cheating in our events. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Multiaccounting, including getting friends to sign up just to send you items
  • Exploits that are discovered that are not promptly reported, and are instead used to get a large quantity of items

If we catch you cheating, then you will be given a full-site ban, the length of which varying depending on the severity of the offense.

Dialogue Event:

Intermission 1 of the dialogue event can be read here! Be sure to read it before participating in the event.

The dialogue event was written by GalacticRing!

Winter advent calander Guest Artists:

First our winter advent has been extended from 25 days to the full 31! With that we've chosen 8 GAs to help us, Bloodborne, Chooliw, ColdRising, dadada_darling, hellpriest, kingscreek, Lunaray10, and meow ! If you didn't get chosen this round we plan on having more GA opportunities soon! We'd like to host some GA only adopt batches in the future :]

As a reminder claims for our annual winter advent calendar will go live on November 15th! There will be both raffle-to-pay slots and first-come, first-served slots. There will be 31 days to claim, and they will be $20 each.

The raffle to pay form will open on 11/13 at 2pm EST, and close and be rolled on 11/14 2pm EST.
The FCFS slots will open 11/15 at 2pm EST.

As usual, these will be themed mystery designs that will be revealed and distributed throughout December.

Adjustments to Encounters:

To start we'll be switching encounters from user based to character based. This means users will have to own a character to do encounters from this day onwards. Characters may only be swapped 3 times a day, and they each have their own individual pool of energy. We will be lowering the base encounter energy from 5 to 3, meaning (without the use of food) users with 3 or more characters will have a total of 9 energy, rather than 5 a day. We have a few reasons for this but mostly:

  • We will be adding character jobs sometime after the new year. This will allow us to restrict encounters to characters with specific jobs, via an item in their inventory.
  • We can make failing encounters apply status effects to characters.
  • Unfortunately, most cheating in events is done via encounters. By requiring characters new accounts will be unable to do encounters, this will (hopefully) discourage people a bit more from cheating. 

As a note setting your character for the first time will consume one of your daily character changes. We will also be slowly rewording encounters to be more in the perspective of characters, rather than NPCs.

Note that any items required to enter an encounter location must be in the selected character's inventory to enter it.

Thank you all for reading! If you have any questions that are not addressed in this newsletter, feel free to ask us in the help channel of our Discord server!

The next part will be released on November 24th. We hope you all enjoy it!

NEW SPECIES:

And now for the biggest announcement: introducing Clayfoxes!

[full size]

Clayfoxes are a species of small, tunnelling foxes adapted for digging! They also have a warrior subtype that are much larger and more imposing.
Their traits can be found here!

Clayfoxes use their own unique items. Their MYO slots are called Vessels, their add-ons are Diamonds, and their vouchers are Ambers! They also have their own specific redesign items.

The randomized MYO, Shattered Vessel, and the selfbreed MYO, Underglazed Vessel, are currently unable to be used. This will be updated soon, and the items are still able to be obtained.

Unlike the other species on The Space Station, Clayfox items cannot be purchased in shops. Instead, to obtain them, you must craft them! The recipes will be automatically unlocked for all users. All crafting recipes require the equivalant item from another species, as well as crafting materials and crops. As such, they are more scarce than other species.

Make sure to check which items from your inventory are being used before you hit 'craft'! With recipes that call for any item out of a small pool, you may use the inventory dropdown to deselect and reselect items as desired. If you do not do this, the recipe may use up something you wanted to keep!

We will not be refunding items used in crafting unintentionally. Be sure to pay attention.

Raffle design:

Part 3's raffle design can be seen below!

By sugarsprink

You can obtain one raffle ticket from the prize code at the end of the dialogue event. Additional tickets can be found through foraging!

Part 2's raffle design was won by aphe-lion!

MISC:

Image Blocking:

We have installed an extension that allows you to block images on-site! To use it, go to your settings and enable it. This will add a button that allows you to block an image, which will blur it across the site for you. You can then safely disable the extension without re-enabling the images. We hope that this is a helpful accessibility tool for items and graphics that you may not wish to see, for one reason or another.

Halloween Gacha:

A raffle-to-pay form for slots on our Halloween gachas will be posted in our Discord server on October 29th, 2PM EST. Raffle to pay slots will then be rolled on the 30th at 2PM.

Slots for both the USD gacha and the CC Pet gacha will open at 2PM EST. Once everybody has paid, rolling will be done in our Discord server!

As a reminder, USD slots will be $30 each, and CC slots will be 2,500 Cloud Coins each.

Thank you all for reading! If you have any questions that are not addressed in this newsletter, feel free to ask us in the help channel of our Discord server!

The next part will be released on November 10th. We hope you all enjoy it!

October 2024 Newsletter

Posted 1 October 2024, 17:04:57 EDT by Lobcorp

Hi everyone! Monthly news for you all. 

Autumn foraging and encounters:

As promised, we have added one more foraging location and one more encounter region for autumn! These are in addition to last month's, and will be available until the beginning of winter. One more of each will be added on November 1st!

Foraging Locations:
  • Pumpkin Patch
Encounter Regions:
  • Farmer's Market

HAlLOWEEN:

We have decided not to host a full Halloween event this year, due to the ongoing lore event that will be running throughout the entirety of October. However, we do have a few things planned for you all!

Halloween Advent Calendar:

This will be hosted in the week running up to Halloween. Prizes will include items and new pets, with an prize for collecting all of the days!

HALLOWEEN GACHAS:

We will be hosting two gachas on October 31st! The information for both of these can be found below:

Cloud Coin Gacha:

We will be hosting a Cloud Coin gacha! Rolls will cost 2,500 CC each, and will distribute a unique Halloween or autumn themed variant of an on-site pet. These variants will not be obtainable through any other means, and thus are completely unique individuals.

USD Gacha:

Alongside the Cloud Coin Gacha, we will be hosting a USD gacha for Halloween and autumn themed designs! As with other gachas, rolls will cost $20 each.

SPACETOBER:

Inspired by an idea pitched by aPhantom in our Discord server, we have decided to host an October daily prompts list!

Rules:
  • If drawing for this prompt, it MUST be at least a rough colored sketch fullbody with a props background!
  • If writing for this prompt, it MUST be a minimum of 300 words!
  • Prompts are intentionally vague! Interpret them however you wish.
  • Pieces must be submitted to the Spacetober gallery on-site and to the Spacetober prompt with criteria attached to recieve full rewards!
  • You have three days to complete each piece - for example, the Day 1 prompt will be available to be fulfilled until October 3rd, and so on!
  • You do not need to complete each day to redeem pieces for rewards. You can do as many or as few as you like! Don't stress about it.
  • While you are free to make your own prompt lists, or follow another user's, only the official prompt list shown on this newsletter will be eligible for Spacetober rewards. Pieces for alternative prompt lists can still be submitted for regular art redemption as normal.
Rewards:
  • Cloud Coins (art redemption rates +100 per submission)
  • 5 user exp
  • 5 character exp
  • +100 bonus Cloud Coins every 3 submissions
  • If you complete at least one prompt from each row on the sheet (for a total minimum of 5 submissions), you can recieve a Random Item Box at the end of the month!

Lineages:

As some of you may have noticed, we are now beginning to add lineages to characters resulting from breeding batches and self breeds! This is being tracked for logistical reasons, to prevent any related characters from accidentally being paired with one another, and is not reflective of any actual lore that may be attached to characters. While we have already gone through many characters whose lineages we are aware of, we're missing many self breeds and old moderator batches.

To help with the process, we have created a turn-in prompt here. If you own any characters from self-breeds or breeding batches without lineages already added, please send in a submission to help us out! Please do not submit characters whose relation only exists in personal lore. While those characters cannot be paired with one another either, we are not officially tracking them as lore is subject to change when characters change hands.

The turn-in prompt for lineages can be found here! Thank you for your help.

October pay-to-enter raffle:

Design can be seen below! Each raffle ticket can be purchased for 500 cc and can be found in the Starstop Shop!

This raffle will close October 31st 23:59:59 site time! This will be rolled sometime the next day!

October Monthly Madness:

This month’s theme is Dress Up! Draw and/or write about your spacestation character dressing up! 

The October monthly madness will last till October 31st!

Boss fights are goals that the community must work towards together.

The next part will be released regardless of if the boss fight is completed, but if the boss is defeated before then, everybody who participated will be able to claim a reward!

Part 1's boss is Dig Fizz out of the snow!

To participate in the boss fight you must do the Snow Day prompt!
