[h3]Greetings Survivors![/h3]

Brace yourself for intensified Home Invasions that pose a threat to your base, featuring dynamic difficulty levels based on your skill and shelter complexity. Plus, bid farewell to the festive season as we say goodbye to Christmas decorations. Now, let's dive into the details!




Recently, we included the ‘Home Invasion’ event to all of our servers where Hyena or Orbis troops will appear near your base and launch an attack.

Be sure to safeguard your hard-earned progress and valuable items by fortifying your base with internal and external defenses. That may be traps, turrets, or something else. The choice is yours.




Home Invasions come in five varieties, each with an escalating difficulty level. We’re introducing shelter complexity to the algorithm to ensure a more dynamic invasion level selection based on your skill as well as the size of your base. Shelter complexity is a measure of several factors including: the number of items installed in your base (including walls and foundations), and the level of said items. You can easily check your 'Shelter Complexity' in your building core's menu.




As we bid adieu to the holiday season, all in-game holiday-themed items and skins will be officially removed. Your placed holiday items will retain their festive skins until picked up or uninstalled.




🦋 Optimized memory use for custom servers.
🐛 Fixed a bug where mobs were unable to cause damage to player bases.
🐛 Fixed an issue where lights would remain in place even after their corresponding wall was destroyed.

[h3]Happy New Year!![/h3]
We’re back from our holiday vacations with a small update for you all. Please be sure to let us know what you think over on our Discord server!




Now that the holidays are over, we’re returning gathering rates to normal. We will hold occasional weekend boost events in the future, so keep your eyes peeled for announcements.




You now have even more control over how you construct your base. Use it to access your roof more quickly, or keep the inside of your base more secure by adding a passcode to it.





🦋 Adjusted mob hit boxes to allow for better accuracy.
🐛 Fixed issue where Electric Fence and Electric Floor weren’t dealing damage to some mobs.
🐛 Fixed issue where damage wasn’t registered correctly when mobs attacked a player’s base foundation.
🐛 Fixed issue where mobs weren’t attacking the object closest to them.
🐛 Added localization to the Orbis Home Invasion events and fixed related icon issues.
🐛 Fixed issue where the radius of a facility skill would be displayed inaccurately.
🐛 Fixed issue where mobs ran toward the wrong building core when a player has multiple cores.

🎄Get ready to unwrap the magic of our festive Christmas update! Spruce up your base with delightful holiday decorations and enjoy special seasonal snacks. Hurry, though – these festive additions will only be available until mid-January. It's the season of giving, and we're thrilled to present these holiday delights to our amazing community.




To celebrate the season, all of our official PvE servers will have 2X resource gathering for the duration of our holiday celebration!

[h2]2x gathering boost:[/h2]
Excluding special items like keys, all gathering will be doubled over the weekend. This includes terrasite, stone, and metal, as well as all containers and NPCs around Ararat Island.




Bring the spirit of the season to your base with Christmas trees, a fireplace, and Christmas-themed chests of all sizes! Be sure to press F on the Christmas tree to hear special holiday music.





We’ve also got some holiday themed snacks for your characters to enjoy!

[h2]This year’s holiday menu is:[/h2]
Holiday Cookies
Christmas Turkey

You can craft them at your consumables bench with Holiday Fiber Meal Kits and Holiday Protein Meal Kits that you’ll now be able to find around the map. I don’t want to spoil the fun, so I’ll let you all have fun finding where they are.

The Christmas Turkey has a high saturation(90!), and the cookies give you 60% radiation resistance.





The Orbis Robots have been watching the Hyena forces attack your base, and now that you’re clearly too formidable for the Hyenas, the Orbis forces are going to try getting rid of you before you become too large of a threat!

We’ve added 2 Orbis Home Invasion attacks to the current 3 Hyena versions. Once you reach level 21, you’ll have to defend yourself against orbis robots. You’ll unlock the most difficult Home Invasion when you hit level 26.





Hitting other players or mobs while driving will now give varying amounts of damage depending on your speed. The faster you go, the more damage you’ll inflict!





🦋 Building fragments will now fade-out as they disappear.
🐛 Fixed an issue where the layout of the character creation window appeared distorted on some resolutions.
🦋 Fixed an issue where, during base attacks by NPCs, if the player was far from the base, there was no prompt on the left side of the HUD.
