Frequently Asked Questions
Technical
How can I delete a save?
On windows, your save files can be found at “%LOCALAPPDATA%/Cattails”, where you can manually delete or move your saves.
I’m lagging at night time or in certain areas in the game, how can I fix this?
If your game is lagging, try heading into the video settings and turning “FancyLight” OFF.
What is Cattails made with?
GameMaker: Studio 1.4 is used to make Cattails.
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?
In order for a rival colony to let you explore their town, use their services, or invite you to join them, they have to first trust you. The main way to raise your reputation with a colony is gifting the colony’s guard, and telling them the gift is for the 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%.
Are there kittens in the game? Can I have more than one litter?
Yes, you are able to have one litter of up to four kittens if your cat is married and has the “nursery” den upgrade.
Can I change my cat’s name without restarting it?
