PATCH NOTES FOR AUGUST 16, 2026.


HOUSING

Faster Furnishing Flow

Improved the furnishing flow to make decorating your home faster and less repetitive.

After successfully placing a furnishing, the same item list will now reopen with your previous selection still highlighted. Prices, inventory counts, and placement limits are refreshed automatically, making it easier to place several items without repeatedly navigating through the catalog.

Pressing Back returns to the category list, and pressing Back again closes the catalog as usual.


Clearer Placement Feedback

The selection frame now turns red whenever a furnishing cannot be placed in its current position.

This feedback appears while placing new furnishings and moving existing ones, making overlaps, blocked doorways, room boundaries, and positions where an item cannot settle safely easier to identify before confirming placement.


Smoother Catalog Navigation

Improved navigation in both the room-building and furnishing catalogs.

The visible list now remains steady while moving between options already on screen and scrolls only when the selection reaches an edge. Additional spacing also keeps the selected card from being clipped at the sides of the panel.


THANK YOU FOR THE FEEDBACK

These Housing improvements were made in response to feedback following the update's release.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to report issues and share suggestions. Your feedback helps us prioritize improvements and continue making Beyond Solar a better experience with every update.
