In a new blog post enthusiastically titled ‘Sitting Update!‘, developer Glumberland announced some long-needed relief for your sore legs. Better yet, sitting in Ooblets slowly recovers your energy just like it does in real life, unless you sit too much for your job in which case here’s your reminder to get up and walk around the house.

“They said it couldn’t be done. That it was preposterous. But we didn’t believe them,” Glumberland says. “We decided to prove them wrong by dedicating all our resources and efforts towards one impossible goal. 

It took our R&D department years, but we didn’t falter. We knew there’d be a breakthrough eventually, and we were right. We did it. We actually did it. You can now SIT. ON. CHAIRS. Let that sink in. See a chair in the game? You can sit on it. You are no longer relegated to the standing world.”

As exciting is sitting is, it isn’t the only thing included in the latest Ooblets patch. There’s also a bunch of bug fixes and optimizations. Here’s the full changelog, straight from Glumberland:

• Fixed playable instruments
• Fixed longleg ooblet animations
• Updated oobnet signal indicator
• Particle system optimization
• Optimizations for dance battles
• Removed ghost chair in tinstle’s office
• Fabricuter UI fix
• Fix indoor lighting w/r/t weather
• Add warning if you buy furniture before being able to place it
• Fixed move UI ordering
• Fix hats showing up as wrong color in menu

If you want to make the most of your time in Oob, these handy Ooblets tips are as helpful as ever.

Ooblets is a farming sim mixed with Pokémon-style collection and battles. You can grow plants which eventually mature into adorable Ooblets, which you can then use to “fight” others with. Instead of actually fighting though, these Ooblet fights are more accurately described as “dance battles”, which is rather wholesome.

With this new patch, the charming indie farming sim is now at version 0.6 and has added its first new location called the Wildlands. The new area can be accessed by completing redevelopment quests, which is a system that tasks you with rehoming specific types of Ooblets to the Wildlands in order to revitalize the area. Doing so will help you unlock even more new areas within the Wildlands, like the Spicyspear Scrub, Droneydrip Pond, and Nurnycrop Crag. Also added in the update are some new recipes, bug fixes and a fancy Oobcoop to unlock.

The adorable indie farming sim released in Early Access on the Epic Games Store and on Xbox consoles in June 2020. Even though the game is in Early Access, there’s still plenty to sink your teeth into. Ooblets Wildlands is bringing the game ever closer to a full 1.0 version release, which we know is slated for later this year thanks to an updated roadmap of content. 

Along with the new area, you can also try your hand at rehoming Ooblets to earn some prizes. More resources have been added to the game as well, along with some brand new blueprints and recipes to unlock. Basically, there’s a ton of new stuff to do and cuteness to be had, so if you haven’t gotten into Ooblets, now is the time.

Before you jump into the world of adorable dance battles, read some Ooblets tips.

How to build an Oobcoop

To build a coop, you’ll first need to unlock the Oobcoop blueprint in the Wishie menu, found either at the Wishie Well in town or in your character menu for quicker access. The level one coop blueprint will cost you 100 Wishies, which should be easy enough to come by if you win the day’s dance battle in the dance barn – you get 170 Wishies per day for winning all three rounds. 

Once you’ve unlocked the coop level one blueprint, you’ll next need to head to Manatwee, the furniture store in the town center. You’ll recognize it by the green sofa logo on the building. Head inside and to the left of the store where you’ll find the fabricuter – nope, that’s not a typo, it’s just Ooblets’ style to give things silly names. 

In the fabricuter menu, you’ll see various blueprints for objects, depending on what blueprints you’ve unlocked so far. Among them will be your new coop blueprint. Provided you have what you need (three Clothlets, 15 Nurnies, 10 Planklets, and one Oobsidian), you’ll be able to build a coop and keep it in your inventory.

Next you’ll want to bring it to your farmland and choose a spot to place it. There’s no wrong answers here, other than you should put it some place that won’t block your own farming paths. Now that you’ve got a coop, you’ll be able to give your Home Babies – ooblets that aren’t actively following you – a place to hang out and even help out. You can head inside any coop to assign ooblets to that space. 

How to upgrade an Oobcoop 

A level one coop allows for one ooblet to reside there, but you can upgrade a coop up to three times. Each upgrade not only allows for an additional ooblet to live there, but applies bonuses as well.

A coop allows for your ooblets to lend a hand with farming by watering your crops and removing weeds, stones, and twigs even if you’re not around. It can make the difference between a mess of encroaching red weeds and a dazzling farmland all Badgetownies would be impressed by.

Unlike the original coop blueprint, you won’t need to return to the fabricuter to upgrade Oobcoops to higher levels. You’ll need to head back into your wishie menu and buy each new blueprint, up to level four in early access, for an additional 100 Wishies each. 

It’s worth doing, because each coop allows ooblets to clear out the mess surrounding their living spaces and helps your crops grow faster. Here’s the breakdown:

• Coop level 1: one ooblet,  5% growth increase to nearby crops
• Coop level 2: two ooblets, 10% growth increase to nearby crops
• Coop level 3:  three ooblets, 20% growth increase to nearby crops
• Coop level 4: four ooblets, 40% growth increase to nearby crops

You can tell what counts as nearby as it’s the square outline seen in the screenshot below. In addition to these bonuses, all level four Oobcoops let you store up to three seed varieties in the coop so the ooblets plant them in their own time, just like they clear out rubble and weeds for you.

As you can also see in the image, weeds, twigs, and stones can run amok and cause some real panic in the perfection-seeking gardeners, so it’s important to know that the game is ultimately on your side. Using Oobcoops smartly is a major step to moving from a messy situation to something neater, nicer, and more lucrative.
