Technical
I'm lagging at night time or in certain areas in the game, how can I reduce this?
If your game is lagging, try heading into the video settings and turning "FancyLight" OFF. If this does not help, your system may not meet the minimum specifications to properly run Cattails.

What is Cattails made with?
GameMaker: Studio 1.4.

I have the music soundtrack, where can I find it?
On Steam, hover over "Library" in the top left, and a drop-down menu should appear, with "Music" being one of the options. If Cattails is not in the list, in the very top left, go to Steam >> Settings >> Music >> Scan now. This should scan the folder with your steam music in it, and update your music tab with the Cattails soundtrack. If you still can not see it, and had purchased alpha or beta access of the game, make sure you have redeemed your "Deluxe content + OST" Steam key.
Gameplay
How do I get into a different colony?
You are allowed into a colony's town at 25% reputation, may use their services at 50%, and receive an offer to join at 75%. You can raise your reputation with a colony by gifting the colony's guard, and telling them the gift is for the colony.

How can I have kittens?
If your cat is married and has purchased and completed the nursery den upgrade, the spouse will randomly ask about kittens on a night when you go to sleep in your den. The amount of kittens will depend on how the spouse is treated after they ask; more gifts equals more kittens!

Can I have more than one litter of kittens?
You are able to have one litter per save file of up to four kittens. You can not have any more kittens after this, even if you only had one.

Can I change my cat's name without restarting? What about my kittens' names?
Head to the temple on the third day of any month to change your cat's or their kittens' names for a fee of 25 mews each.

How can I date a cat?
Gift a cat who you have 5 friendship stars with a red rose. The rose can be found at the temple only after Coco tells you about it on Autumn 5, Year 1.

How can I marry a cat?
Similar to dating, you can buy a shiny trinket from your colony’s shopkeeper after Coco tells you about it on Spring 1, Year 2. The cat will only accept the proposal if your cat is dating them, and if the heart at the bottom of their text boxes is red.

How can I move, place, or remove den decor, or get new rooms?
Molby the construction mole will introduce themself to you at the earliest on Winter 1, Year 1. After they do, you can ring the bell in your den to call them for construction or to edit decorations.

What happens to my spouse and kittens if I switch colonies or create my own?
Everything in your den, including your family, will move colonies with you.

Coco/Molby isn’t showing up to tell me about an item and it is past the earliest possible day!
These characters show up at your den when you leave it in the morning; try sleeping in your den if you haven’t in a few nights.

When will my kittens arrive?
Kittens are random to an extent, but can arrive after a minimum of 10 days after agreeing to them.

Can I date a cat from another colony?
So long as the cat is datable and you are able to speak to them, i.e. you have access to somewhere where they hang out, or are trusted enough by their colony to enter their town, yes you are able to romance them.

How can I make my own colony?
To create your colony, you must first complete Coco's quest, then speak to the guardian.

How do I get a task board in my custom colony?
If your cat is in a custom colony, you can talk to Coco to place a task board in your town area.
Future Plans
What is the verdict on mods?
Falcon currently has no plans to implement mod support in Cattails. It is possible in the distant future that it may be an addition, but is not currently planned.

Will there be multiplayer?
Falcon currently has no plans for multiplayer functionality in Cattails.

Where can I suggest features for Cattails?
You can post your game suggestions in the Cattails steam forum, or on the Cattails forum boards. Do not post them in this guide's comments.

not a question, but guys, make sure you remember not to ask sass to add things to the game or add suggestions to the comments, while he/she is a very helpful player, they are not a part of falcon studios. (keep up the good work sass!)
