How to Use and Equip Expressions in Petit Planet

To use character expressions in Petit Planet, open your interaction menu to bring up the radial expression wheel, then select an animation to play it. To change which reactions appear on your wheel, open the settings menu to swap out your equipped emotes.

How to Access and Customize the Expression Wheel

You can select and trigger animations using the standard in-game menus:

1. Bring up the interaction menu during movement or exploration to open the radial expression wheel.
2. Highlight and select an emote to play the animation instantly.
3. Open the game's main settings menu to adjust your equipped emote setup.
4. Replace existing preset animations with your preferred reactions so your most frequent emotes are readily available.

Best Practices for Social Hubs and NPC Interactions

• Match NPC moods: Pay attention to visual cues during conversations with NPCs. Triggering a matching positive or supportive emote immediately following dialogue or a item trade provides a smoother interaction flow.
• Welcome visitors: Use welcoming animations when host players enter your planet or when visiting player hubs.
• Celebrate co-op milestones: Trigger synchronized emotes after completing resource-gathering tasks with other players to signal completion.
• Keep hub emotes brief in crowded areas: Long or complex character animations can obstruct the view of smaller interactive nodes, trade prompts, and dialogue icons. Stick to short, quick emotes when navigating busy bazaars or crowded crafting hubs.
