Even though it’s still in Open Beta, the social farming sim Palia has received its first content update. The update, titled Temple of the Flames, introduces a new mysterious temple for players to explore and obtain new fiery crops, recipes, and more. The new update is live now and players already in the beta can download it via the Palia launcher. Those interested in playing in the beta can still sign up to do so for free via the Palia website.
Players will explore the new Temple of the Flames, a new fire-themed environment. Inside the temple are new quests, puzzles, and treasures. There’s also a unique maze players can explore that lies within the temple. Progression through the temple will unlock new bundles and recipes as well, giving you new things to do at your farm. You can also plant two new crops, Spicy Peppers and Corn, with ten new cooking recipes including Crab Pot Pie and Chili Oil Wontons. Great, now I’m hungry.
A fiery trove of new content
Further new content includes new housing decor such as the Emberforn furniture set. Players who can complete each Temple Bundle will receive a new Ancient Rock Garden. Upon placing the Ancient Rock Garden on your plot, you can now be visited by the fabled Palian Kitsuu.
Also, you can now befriend Tau, Hassian’s loyal pup. Like everyone else in Palia, you can increase your friendship level with Tau up to Level 4. Doing so will unlock a big blue plushie version of Tau that you can decorate your home with.
Temple of the Flames is the first content update for Palia, but Singularity 6 already has additional larger-scale updates planned. The planned updates include new temples, quests, villagers, zones, and more.
I enjoyed my time with Palia, and while I felt it was lacking some social/MMO features, it’s great to see it getting a big content update already. I just hope if they continue with the temple trend, we don’t get some sort of underwater temple. *shutters*
Update — New update on September 26
Players who have been enjoying the new Temple of the Flames content of Palia will be happy to know a new update is coming on September 26. In the update, Zeki’s Black Market is getting a bit of a makeover as you can see in the screenshot above. A new emote, new Decor enhancements, and even some new outfits are also coming as part of the update.
Also, with the new update you will finally be able to remove crops. This small but useful feature will make it so you can remove crops if you decide to change up your farming layout, or if you accidentally plant the wrong seeds.
