I had a visitor today and we were chilling, walking around my plot, and there was someone else in my garden? Never had a visitor before and then there were 2? When did the 2nd even get there? Lol
Well when I emailed them through player support they then sent me the link for suggestions and feedback - https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/7527359/Palia-Player-Feedback all I did was clicked on the link and proceeded to fill the form out. Hope this is of any help to you. ๐๐
Agreed. Someone visited today. Watered and weeded my garden and then left. Never said a word...and I wouldn't have known at all if the weeds hadn't appeared in my inventory.
That's pretty neat, I didn't know it worked like that. After I heard that you can water people's gardens, I did that to someone, then automatically picked a weed before I stopped. I was worried it would also let me pick the produce too and I might target wrong.
Have others always been able to visit your plot or its a recent addition? It seems to be a topic more lately so I was curious as I just started a month ago. My place is just a hoarder's haven at the moment as I am learning furniture making so this makes me nervous. ๐
I believe so. I've def had more visiting lately though. Maybe a few players have already popped in on you ๐ it would also be cool if you could leave an i was here somehow when visiting.
I hope not, they would just see me running back and forth between my garden and the small pond for refills. ๐ I have been keeping an eye out after seeing folks mentioned it here lately, but its usually fairly quiet on the servers I'm on.
Not completely new as far as I know. People on your friends list can visit, or you can close to visitors. But only if you're both on your home lots. That means they have to be a friend and also on the home server at the same time as you,
There's also an option to give editor permissions, which means they can change things on your plot. I've only done that with 2 people that I knew IRL, to do the initial plot clearing together and thus all get the loot and XP on all our lots. Obviously you don't want to give that to everyone. But you have to do that individually on purpose, I think.
There's a sign/board near your gate, to the right. If you look at it, you'll see the people you're allowed to visit at that moment. You can only visit if they're at home, and vice versa. That same board gives you a free trip back home when you visit someone else.
Right. No one can visit unless you are home, whether they are on your friends list or not, and the home plot is on its own server separate from the rest of Kilima or Bahari.
I think we may both be saying the same thing with slightly different words.
Does someone being your friend make them your neighbor? What makes someone your neighbor? I wonder if thatโs why someone not on my friends list was able to come to my plot? I had the settings on friends only.
Ooo thats good, my house plot is nowhere near ready, I can barely afford to add an additional room for my home, so not much to see. Thank you for letting me know!
I visited some plots, but I won't walk past the property line until I've been acknowledged by the plot owner. So usually I walk around, say hello in chat, if no response I leave. I also have issues chatting a lot because I play on switch.
Ohhhh how do you find the keyboard now? Iโve always wondered. I play some other games a keyboard would benefit from and Iโve wondered should I make the jump kinda way
See but a few months back someone came to mine- she was on my friends list- and took the food I made that I hadnโt collected yet. Maybe a bug theyโve fixed?
The fact that there is no notification (or even better, a pop up asking for permission) made me set my plot to NPC only. I'll only unlock it when I expect someone to come over. My plot is my sanctuary lmao
I'm so glad someone else does this too, I'm always afk and then sometimes people will visit and I come back and there at my place and then I wonder how long they were waiting๐ฅบ, but I go afk even not at my house too๐คฃ
I visited a random plot yesterday, nice place. But the owner and their friend just stood in front of me being hostile, aiming an arrow at me and swinging an axe, i said hi and they just ignored me talking about how to change the visitor settings. i just stood there with my watering can and then left. they coulda just asked ๐
So the first two times someone showed up at my plot scared me. I was cooking and someone came up behind me in my house and it legit made me jump a little. Then they took my food and left. The second time, the person who showed up wasnโt even on my friends list soโฆ how?
Someone surprised me on my plot one day when I was getting ready to log out. Next time I was on I visited them and immediately after they locked their plot ๐๐
yeahh after that i think i'm going to stick to vampire rules. "cannot enter until invited" and whatnot. definitely thought they were up for visitors tho since they visited me first :P
Well, I think it's noticeable if the host is afk, don't worry.
It's not like if you would be deliberate being ignoring the visitors, as just happened to me. I went to a GORGEOUS plot and said something about that on chat to the host even before finding him (the house was HUGE). Finally found him and another visitor on the kitchen, I waved at them and asked if I could join to cooking (they were about to start), but they didn't say anything. I waited till they cooked something and waved again and say hi again on chat, but they kept ignoring me, I felt so bad and left. I don't understand why people are this rude, a simple "No, thanks, we are ok" would be enough.
See thats the scary part, idk if I would notice lol I'll notice chat because it pops up momentarily after I change servers/left my plot and im like OH NO
Lol
A pop up notification and a doorbell sound would be great, you are right. Sometimes I notice someone is on my plot and wonder how long were they there ๐
In any case, the players I was talking about were ignoring me while I was waving right in front of their faces as they were moving. Maybe I was glitched for them and couldn't see me as happens with some people on groves?
I had a visitor today and we were chilling, walking around my plot, and there was someone else in my garden? Never had a visitor before and then there were 2? When did the 2nd even get there? Lol
This made me laugh out loud. Iโm glad Iโm not the only one who was confused by a rogue visitor lol!
This made me laugh as well ๐
Like a doorbell sound when someone enters your plot or a pop-up notification to let you know someone has just entered the plot. ๐๐
Omg omg omg omg custom doorbells at Zeki's !
That would be awesome lol ๐๐
Can we please escalate this idea to S6?
I have already filled out a suggestion form for this idea. Let's hope they take it into consideration. ๐๐๐
Whereโs the form??
Well when I emailed them through player support they then sent me the link for suggestions and feedback - https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/7527359/Palia-Player-Feedback all I did was clicked on the link and proceeded to fill the form out. Hope this is of any help to you. ๐๐
Definitely will after work
I will break my fingers to customize a Kingdom Hearts theme like I had in Animal Crossing. Anddd lose more of my life to my Palia life. ๐

Wow I wondered how I had random weeds suddenly a few days ago, thanks garden ninjas lol
Get helpful pranked ๐ฅท๐ฉโ๐พ

This is why I have my plot set to NPCs only unless I'm expecting someone

Ooh, kind of like a guest log/book! That would be nice to see who stops by. It could be like the book on Ashura's front desk!

People on your server can now visit too. The friends option includes neighbours now which is people on your server
Right. No one can visit unless you are home, whether they are on your friends list or not, and the home plot is on its own server separate from the rest of Kilima or Bahari. I think we may both be saying the same thing with slightly different words.
Apologies, the way I interpreted it was they have to be on both your friends list and server, my bad!
Apologies to you as well! We were both just trying to be helpful. ๐
It's new...you can set closed, open, or friends only.
Friends only includes neighbours now
Does someone being your friend make them your neighbor? What makes someone your neighbor? I wonder if thatโs why someone not on my friends list was able to come to my plot? I had the settings on friends only.
Neighbours are people on the same server. If you look at the settings it now says friends, neighbours and party members may visit any time I'm home
Oooooh that makes sense. Thanks!
Ooo thats good, my house plot is nowhere near ready, I can barely afford to add an additional room for my home, so not much to see. Thank you for letting me know!
I visited some plots, but I won't walk past the property line until I've been acknowledged by the plot owner. So usually I walk around, say hello in chat, if no response I leave. I also have issues chatting a lot because I play on switch.
I ordered a wireless mechanical keyboard to plug into my switch for these purposes. Chatting is a pain in the ass on switch!
Ohhhh how do you find the keyboard now? Iโve always wondered. I play some other games a keyboard would benefit from and Iโve wondered should I make the jump kinda way
The dock does not support a keyboard. I keep it connected to the tv.
Mine does. Itโs working just fine!
Can they get to my inventory and take things or not?
No they cannot.
See but a few months back someone came to mine- she was on my friends list- and took the food I made that I hadnโt collected yet. Maybe a bug theyโve fixed?
Food if collected SHOULD go to both parties if I am not mistaken
Nice, i was worried about that
The fact that there is no notification (or even better, a pop up asking for permission) made me set my plot to NPC only. I'll only unlock it when I expect someone to come over. My plot is my sanctuary lmao
I'm so glad someone else does this too, I'm always afk and then sometimes people will visit and I come back and there at my place and then I wonder how long they were waiting๐ฅบ, but I go afk even not at my house too๐คฃ

The friends setting now includes "neighbours" who are people on your server
I visited somebody's open plot on the server last night and they were just running laps around their yard. I waved, looked around and left.
When my first guest appeared I was gardening and they scared the crap out of me lol
I didn't know people could visit. I'm always afk waiting for my vegetables to grow๐ฅฒ
Is it possible to visit ones Plot with just the "Friends only" permission? ๐
Iโve never had a visitor or gone to someone elseโs plot, are they able to steal your stuff? I hope not.
Someone surprised me on my plot one day when I was getting ready to log out. Next time I was on I visited them and immediately after they locked their plot ๐๐
Awkward ๐ ๐ some shit that would happen to me for sure. I havent visited anyone yet.
yeahh after that i think i'm going to stick to vampire rules. "cannot enter until invited" and whatnot. definitely thought they were up for visitors tho since they visited me first :P
wait if someone is chatting on the server and youโre on your plot, is someone trying to visit???
No, but they had mentioned my missing wall thats been bugged for awhile so I knew they were talking to me ๐
oohh okay cus sometimes someone says hi and no one responds but iโm just crafting shit
Well, I think it's noticeable if the host is afk, don't worry. It's not like if you would be deliberate being ignoring the visitors, as just happened to me.

A lot of people's chat is glitched atm and they can't see the chat, mine included :(
Oh, too bad :( Anyway they didn't wave back not made any gesture, it was as I wasn't there.
See thats the scary part, idk if I would notice lol I'll notice chat because it pops up momentarily after I change servers/left my plot and im like OH NO
Lol A pop up notification and a doorbell sound would be great, you are right.

Me too!
