Tinkertown News

Hello fellow Tinkerers

In the past weeks I worked on a performance patch to reduce gameplay issues in multiplayer sessions. There were severe issues that seemed like lag at first, especially when straying far away from each other. The major part of those were caused by performance issues (the server host may have noticed that his CPU has gone rampage).

This update doesn't feature new content, but I hope you enjoy a much smoother gameplay experience, especially in multiplayer scenarios.

Changelog:
- Increased performance for client and server
- Updated Playfab to eliminate connection issues
- NPCs do not roam around randomly anymore

A lot of hard work has gone into this patch, but stay tuned for some new DUNGEONS soon!

Happy Tinkering!

Greetings everyone!

Tinkertown is growing every day and it is yet again time for a big content update! Have your shovels and your fishing rods ready: the Tinkertown “Back to Nature” update is now available, and it adds many new farm-tastic features.

Ni Hao, Hallo, Bonjour! We added Chinese, German and French language support to Tinkertown!

We are happy to add Chinese, German and French language support to open Tinkertown to even more players around the world. And this is just the start! More language support is coming.

Farm crops, go fishing, cook delicious meals and more!

• You can now go fishing! Various fishes now populate the rivers and ponds of Tinkertown, and you can catch them now with your brand-new fishing rod including a new fishing mini game.
  
• Plant and yield different crops! You can finally build your own little farm in Tinkertown! Find crop seeds, plant and grow them until you can yield the fruits of your labour!
  
• Cook some delicious new meals! What to do with all the new fishes and crops? Cook delicious new meals of course! We added many new cooking recipes for tasty new dishes. Yummy!
  
• Added new buffs and debuffs! We added completely new buffs and debuffs to the game! Eating meals and using potions provide valuably new buffs that make you harder, better, faster and stronger. But beware! Enemies can give you debuffs too to weaken you!
  
• Upgrade your weapons! You can make your weapons a whole lot deadlier and add new status ailments to certain weapons. It is very effective against your enemies but please don’t test it on your friends! :)

Disclaimer: The Back to Nature update is compatible with existing player characters but you must start a new world to enjoy all the new content!

Have fun with the new update and please send us some pictures from Tinkertown!
