Hi Tinkerers!

We hope you’re enjoying the Tinkertown 2.0 Update! If you haven’t updated your game yet, you’re not only missing out on a bunch of cool new additions, changes, features, and a whole new biome, you might also risk not being able to play online anymore!

Some of you might still be exploring, crafting, building, fighting, and farming in an outdated version of the game which is running on an older server. ❗️ That server will be shut down on November 18. ❗️ If your game isn’t updated to the latest version by then, this might result in you not being able to play the game online anymore.

Luckily, the fix is easy: update your game to the latest version, and you’re good to go! There is nothing else you need to do in order to transfer your save.

If you don’t read this in time or are unable to update your game before the server is shut off – don’t sweat it! All you need to do to enjoy Tinkertown in multiplayer is to just make sure you update it the next time you feel like tinkering away with your friends! No save files will be affected and no data will be lost.

… And if you’re game is up to date already – What are you waiting for? The Lava biome awaits!

Thank you & Talk to you soon!
The Tinkertown Team

Hi Tinkerers,

It’s finally here, the Tinkertown 2.0 Update! With this new update, you will discover a revamped version of the world map with a new biome, bosses, and much more!

New World Map
With the new revamped version, you will see a difference in where all the biomes are located, and the map is no longer circular. Each biome is also much larger than before, so you have more key points of interest to find and explore.



New Lava Biome
The Lava Biome introduces new treacherous areas to explore, and it can get extremely hot, so make sure you're wear the proper equipment before venturing inside!

With the new biome, there will be new monsters for you to encounter and a new dungeon to explore. Are you up for the task?

Hi Tinkerers,

We received great feedback from the recent playtest, so a big thank you to the people who helped us over the weekend! Even though the test was very successful, we saw some inconvenient issues reported.

We want to deliver a good player experience for the 2.0 Update, so with that in mind, we decided that we need to move the PC launch to November 4th!

This delay will ensure that the 2.0 Update on PC will be released together with the launch of Tinkertown on Xbox and Nintendo Switch.

We are sorry for the delay, and we thank you for your understanding!

With an adventurous heart!
The Tinkertown Team
