Out and About Patch 0.2.9 Removes Item Decay and Expands Market Capacity
Out and About Patch 0.2.9 removes item decay for cooked meals, expands base inventory sizes, and polishes the market minigame. The update also adds a community kitchen fast travel point and addresses several bug fixes.
Developer Yaldi Games has released Patch 0.2.9 for Out and About, delivering quality-of-life adjustments to inventories, the market minigame, and world navigation.
Inventory and Market Updates
Prepared meals no longer decay, though basket items still clear at the end of the day if left unsorted. Base inventory capacity for the market rises from 15 to 20, and basket inventory size alongside its upgrades has also increased. The market minigame receives general polish, with an item list that holds more items, removes sold goods properly, and features new UI icon animations, a satisfaction bar, and updated audio mixes.
World Changes and Customization
Players gain access to a new fast travel spot at the community kitchen and a headwear category for character customization. Character bios have been updated alongside favor titles, traits no longer display text and sit in a new position, and invisible walls across several areas have been adjusted to stop players from getting stuck.
Bug Fixes and Pacing Adjustments
The forest bathing loop changes from 16 seconds to 60 seconds. A spelling error in Barbara's Sorting Table Quest is resolved, the unstuck feature now works correctly while mounted, a specific red clover patch displays plants properly, and input will no longer interrupt the phone closing animation.
Why this patch matters
Patch 0.2.9 tackles inventory constraints by removing food decay and enlarging market storage, while developers shift focus toward funding projects and German localization.
