There’s also new mechanics in the form of crabs and lobsters, plus crab traps for catching them. There’s apparently a dedicated crab-catching system to play with as you wait for a crustacean to bite.
Arguably the most exciting/mysterious addition is an event referred to only as a “Lobster Party”, which promises to show off new species but is otherwise left for us to discover for ourselves.
Most useful, perhaps, is the option to automate your farming using a helpful MC Sammy to help out with chores. On top of that, there are new devices that will aid with storing eggs and feeding chickens, turning your farm into a ruthlessly efficient machine. (Probably.)

Out on the water, you’ll be able to encounter a new event boss when all Marinca cards have been collected. Those cards are also split into a newNocturnalcategory, with the addition of new fish that will only appear at night to balance the fact that many daytime fish show up once the sun is down regardless.
Elsewhere, there’s a Wandering Merchant, who will return to your Bancho Sushi restaurant if served a “special” dish, selling items including new ingredients.
Behind the scenes there’ll be improvements including overall performance improvements and faster loading times, the option to buy seeds from Gumo at the seaweed farm and various bug fixes. Oh, and you’ll now be able to get Steam trading cards too, which is nice.

Thechunky updateis live now, delivering on devs Mintrocket’s promise in August to add some new content after some quality-of-life improvements includingthe option to turn off button-mashingand resize the game’s UI for the Steam Deck and smaller screens.
Dave the Diver has already hooked in over a million players since it released earlier this year, so it’s nice to see it continue to expand and improve - even as its creators move on to somethingdecidedly less wholesome.
