It’s going to be a big day for Necesse, make sure you don’t miss it 😉

Hey everyone!

We hope you’ve all had some time to enjoy the new plains caves and maybe fend off a couple of the new settlement raids.

Alongside the update, we’d also like to share an updated version of our 2025 Roadmap.



As you can see on the Roadmap below, we’ve pushed Environmental Hazards to content update 0.32 and decided to add Creative Mode in its own update, later this summer. Other than that, the timeline is pretty much the same as the old Roadmap.

As always, thank you so much for your ongoing support.

Small hotfix for a bunch of issues reported and translation updates as well :)
Thank you for all the feedback!

Changes:
- Settlers guarding a position will now no longer change after having attacked a target.
- Fixed Ruby Shields getting destroyed by owner if not part of a team.
- Fixed trapped settlers not being able to be recruited without cost.
- Fixed settlers trying to equip and use summons they don't have enough slots for.
- Fixed raid music stopping before the raid is over.
- Fixed settler Void Staff aiming.
- Updated community translations (thank you translators!)

Servers need to get updated as well to fix most of these issues.

Until next time!

Hey everyone!
Thank you for all the feedback and bug reports since the update yesterday. I've been pushing out smaller hotfixes for some of the critical issues, but some changes require a new version not to have desync in multiplayer, etc. This is that :)

Changes so far:
Settlers will now talk to you if they're angry at someone else.
The Stylist will now also sell the Elder cosmetic set.
Fixed possible crash when another player was using the new boots on another level.
Fixed being able to cancel netted buff.
Fixed crash when attacking other players with beam weapons.
Fixed possible freeze when a lot of settlers are harvesting/chopping at the same time.
Fixed possible crash when reading Brutes Battleaxe tooltip in item icons.
Fixed melee damage modifier being too high on Runic Helmet.
Fixed Ruby Dragon summons hitting neutral and other mobs when they shouldn't.
Fixed settlers getting knocked down while on a mission making them stuck in that mission.
Fixed rare crash when spawning a raid at very specific settlement loadouts.
Fixed crash when loading an old save with an active raid.
Fixed Runic Boulder and a few other multi tiles place preview.
Fixed the game not launching properly on MacOS.
Fixed Chieftains arena sometimes spawning with missing walls when close to water.
Updated community translations (thank you for helping out!).

You can of course always choose an older version by right clicking Necesse in Steam -> Properties -> Betas.

Until next time!

Now let's take a look at the update!
This update adds the long awaited Plains Cave biome. If you're playing on an old world, make sure you go to a plains cave you haven't been to before to get the new generation.
In the cave awaits new enemies, new loot and a new boss for you to fight as well :)



Raiders and their powerlevel have got a complete rework. Settlers and raiders can now use all weapons and we've added a bunch of different raider loadouts that can spawn.
It's still intended that you use your settlers to help you, but we'll especially keep an eye on feedback around this and adjust where needed.



Some of the other features in this update include:

• Settlers will now get knocked down instead of dying on classic difficulty and below.
  
• Added a new enemy to the deep swamp caves.
  
• Added 3 new upgrades to the zephyr boots.
  
• Settlers max health are now based on the armor they have equipped.
  
• A ton of fixes to issues reported by you!
  

You can read the full changelog below.

As always, we will keep a close eye on issues and balancing and push out updates as needed :)

Enjoy the update everyone!
