Tinkertown News

Lovely Tinkerers,

The new year has just begun and we’re kicking it off, celebrating the Lunar New Year, as well as the Base Builder Fest! And that means there’s some new stuff for you to find during the fest, as well as some additions that have the power to change your Tinkertown worlds forever!
Our latest content drop adds new alternate weapons as well as decorations and a costume to celebrate the year of the Water Rabbit for a few weeks. You will also be able to find last years items, too.



As for the builder aspect of Tinkertown: We’ve added new shovels that will allow the player to not just remove gras or sand, but also the dirt underneath! And what’s underneath the dirt? Yes, WATER! In return, you will also be able to place any dirt on water, terraforming your Tinkertown world! Create islands, ponds or a moat, let your imagination run wild!




To give you a better idea of what we’ve added, here’s a short list:

• 1 new costume set
  
• 3 new weapon skin variants
  
• 2 new placeables to celebrate the year of the water rabbit
  
• 2 new shovel tiers to remove different material tiers of ground layers
  
• 2 new placeable ground types to create a foundation on Water.
  
• 2 new floor types
  

We hope you enjoy the update and don't forget to share your creations with us via forum or join our Discord! We are so excited to see what you build with the new content!

Happy Lunar New Year,

your Tinkertown Team

Ho ho ho, Tinkerers,

We’re moving to the end of the year! And that means while the Steam Winter Sale lasts, we’re adding our Holiday content back to the game: Grab yourself some Candy Cane and enjoy the festivities just like the
Goblins do! ☃️

Thanks to our particle system and updated shaders, we’ve made minor visual changes to the enemy's eyes and the Sunwalker Boots, with more to come in the future.



Changelog:

• Goblins are dressed for the Winter Holiday Season.
  
• Added the ability to craft Christmas lights and Christmas trees.
  
• Improved usability of controllers.
  
• You can no longer walk or interact with things while in inventory or crafting menus using a gamepad.
  
• There is now a written indication if you need to hold buttons for longer when doing actions in the inventory (e.g. trashing items)
  
• Fixed the flickering of the action displays in the inventory
  
• Fixed weird glitching when performing rebinds
  
• Added localization for Chat, Inventory and Minigame controls
  
• Fixed an issue where sometimes the quest hud would overlap with the Hotbar on the top (now it knows its place!) and made the font bigger to improve readability
  
• Fixed an issue where you could glitch yourself into the volcano dungeons
  
• Slimes now move a little differently.

Our Team is now off to Winter Vacation to get some well-deserved rest.
But no worries, we’ll be right back at the start of the new year. ❄️

Known Issues:

• There is an issue with the master of craft achievement, it requires some seasonal items to be fulfilled that are not craftable at the moment. We are sorry but this Achievement may not be doable for everybody at until we fix the issue early next year.

🎄Happy Holidays!🎄 Your Tinkertown Team!
