Player Feedback on this New Update

With these major changes in Moonlight Peaks, the game's community has quite a lot to air out about the new update, especially with how the trees are changed and the wine prices are majorly reduced.

The update made it so you can only get 4 jars of honey instead of 16 per hive

SOOOOOOO glad to knew people were struggling with the gramophone and they just made it always available.

They decreased the wine sell prices so now I'm sad. I gotta find a new way to make easy money now

Players are currently scrambling to find the new money-making strategy for Moonlight Peaks amidst this new update. However, they can enjoy a lot of the new quality-of-life fixes in terms of the interface, such as adding the Moon to the Calendar, what day it is, a larger storage layout in the player's home, and more.

So far, the Moonlight Peaks developers are actively working on issues the community has raised. But still, some choices are questionable and may seem more counterproductive. We'll just have to see in future updates if we'll even see rollbacks of previous updates, more fixes to issues, and more game updates.
