Tutorial TutorialNew Items: Tactile Toys!
Hn. It's this time of year again.
I'm sure you've taken everyone in the Snow Globe by surprise with yet another event. They seem to like celebrating over there - although thankfully, not in the same rowdy way that pirates do. Tch. It’s… nice to have a Remnant where they value having a proper order to doing things. And where the "parties" seem to involve more pancakes than pistols.
Anyway. I've been told that there's a Dweller who sometimes gets… overwhelmed by crowds and festivities - who sometimes has trouble when things don't go quite according to her plans? And… hmph.
…I can relate.
Code Update: 8/23/22
Hey everyone! Havin' a good time planting and plotting this year's Prism Party? I hope so, because we're throwing more color into the mix!
Today's update changes the way Gardening items are rewarded, so please help us beta test this new code by planting some seeds and checking that your results are correct! Previously, seeds could only grant 1 item reward upon harvesting, which is why the Pile of Colorful Plot Bunnies bundle was created. Now we can ensure that you simply get any number of item rewards upon harvesting, without having to bundle anything! Thus we have added more seeds to the Plant Bunny Seed Packets with even more varied timers for you to try out!
We've also added a handy new Event banner to the top of the desktop site and to the top of the mobile navigation on the left side of the mobile site! This will allow us to link to ongoing events so that even users who do not subscribe to the News Forum will still be able to see when an event is going on and how to participate!
Site Contest: August 2022

Code Update: 8/16/22
It's time for another code update! Today's update brings a lot of bug fixes to the site, both big and small.
The cooldown timer in the University Lab should now be working as intended, with a 1-minute cooldown between taking any item from the Lab that does not affect any other shops. Since items from the Lab are free, this cooldown is intended to help everyone get a fair chance at taking free items that are mass-donated to the Lab.
We've made a few text changes around the site to clarify information and make certain settings more obvious. For example, when signing up for a new account, "Email confirmation" has been changed to "Retype email" so that users don't mistakenly wait for an email confirmation code.
The biggest change of all today is in the beta garden: based on user feedback, we have removed wilting as a feature. Instead, we have replaced it with a thriving mechanic, where watering your plant will cause the plant to sparkle and have a rare chance at granting additional items! These additional items have not yet been added to the backend, but will be coming soon in a future code update. We are very excited for the potential that this change brings, as it means we can have a lot of fun adding special chance rewards to all the different plants!
With these changes always comes the chance of new and different bugs causing issues across the site. Please help us out by reporting any problems to the Technical Support Forum so we can take a look and try to fix things as soon as possible!
Thank you all again for helping to make Tattered World the best it can be!
August Event: Prism (Plant) Party!
So uh.... I found out where the plot bunnies all went. And it is just as I feared. They're infesting everyone's garden plots and refusing to come out! BUT! I have a PLAN! Garden plot bunnies or not, none of them can resist a good story! So I got to business chopping up passages of prose and stuffing them into seed packs!
I've got sad stories, I've got gory stories, I've got weird three-fanfic-deep-AU-coffee-shop-at-a-college-in-the-future stories! Each of these packs should draw out those little buggers in droves depending on which you pick! I don't know what's best so I've got all of these 'seeds' in one big bundle that you can unpack and trade around as you see fit. Some are slow burn and some should get a much more immediate reaction from the plot bunnies depending on what you plant. But I do know that the longer it takes to grow a swarm, the more you'll catch in the end.
You can pick up your own Plant Bunny Seed Packets over at the Headmaster's Office ((or right here in the pop-up!!)) to start pruning the swarm of plot bunnies back to manageable levels. Read More »
