Core Keeper News

Happy Halloween, Explorers! Okay, we know it's not actually Halloween for another 4 days, BUT we're getting into the spirit of things early with our Halloween Seasonal event now live and with some creepy new content. Let's see what's been going on in our community spaces this week!

[h2]New Roadmap Just Dropped![/h2]
That's right, we've got a little preview of some of the content that's coming up towards the end of this year and throughout 2024!



[h2]Creepy Content[/h2]
We've added a couple of new eerie additions to our Halloween Seasonal event! Check out exactly what's new in our patch notes here.



[h2]Fun Facts![/h2]
Did you know that if you use your mouse to hover over an item in your inventory and hit the delete key, it automatically puts it in the trashcan? If you hit delete again, it will trash the item!



[h2]Living in the Shimmering Frontier[/h2]
Our new biome is so beautiful that we wish we could live there forever. We're not going to acknowledge the Giant Snails and radioactive crystals.



[h2]Have You Used the Materializer Yet?[/h2]
Got an enemy figurine? Pop it into the Materializer to summon a copy of that enemy and practise your combat skills. You can even raise some of your skills by defeating enemy copies this way!



[h2]Yevli's Halloween Base![/h2]
Twitter user, Yevli, showed us their awesome Halloween base over on Twitter and we love the use of the Cicaida Husk!



[h2]Twifyre's Meeting Room![/h2]
Discord user, Twifyre, is working on a story where 12 friends end up in the world of Core Keeper. If that wasn't cool enough, they've created a replica of this meeting room in their game. We love the use of colour here!



[h2]Joshua's Happy Meal[/h2]
We love this artwork from Discord user, Bunncats, and now we really want to try Verdant Sun Curry in real life!

It’s almost Halloween, a time for scares, sweets, tricks and treats – and we’ve got a treat just for you, Explorers! We’ve updated our Halloween Seasonal Event with a little new content to keep things creepy.

Starting from today, you expect some new additions to our Halloween event, from new items on offer from the Seasonal Merchant (who’ll be sporting a bone-chilling new look) all the way to new crafting options at the Samhain Workbench. This minor content update is perfect for horror lovers or those who enjoy a more macabre vibe in the underground.



As with all our seasonal events, our Halloween event recurs at a specific time every year, but you can enjoy Halloween content year-round by toggling the event in the Gameplay Settings menu. You can also switch off seasonal events entirely if you prefer to just play the base version of the game.

We hope you have a terrifying time this Halloween, and we look forward to sharing new announcements and information with you soon over on our official Twitter and Discord channels. Until then, it’s back to the lab to work on more experiments MWAHAHA.

What's that? You want to see what we're working on? Well, since you asked, here's an updated roadmap!

• Seasonal Merchant takes on an eerie new look
  
• Pumpkin coins dropped from goodie bags. Used to buy new items from the Seasonal Merchant. 
  
• Items sold by Seasonal Merchant:
  
• Samhain Workbench
  
• Eerie Chest
  
• Skeleton Decor
  

• New crafting options in Samhain workbench:
  
• Twisted Roots Torch
  
• Candle Stack
  
• Eerie Rug
  
• Eerie Wall
  
• Eerie Floor
  
• Eerie Dresser
  
• Eerie Table
  
• Eerie Stool

• Fixed a commonly reported bug where pet names and talents couldn’t be assigned.
  
• Fixed mod assemblies with a dot in the name not being loaded properly.
  
• Fixed some materials in mods not being replaced with the correct ones after load.
  

• Larvas spawning from a Cocoon that in turn spawned from a Materializer will now also act as temporary spawns that don’t drop loot.
  
• Fixed so the outline indicating an enemy spawned from a Materializer shows for Cocoons as well.
  
• The set bonus on the Ranger set is now working as intended.
  
• Fixed a bug where any item could be put into the Upgrade Station by shift clicking the item.
  
• Fixed a bug where the Wood Bow would not deal more damage when charging it up.
  
• Fixed issue with Atlantean Worm getting an undefined position.
  
• Fixed a visual bug where the displayed damage values were not taking into account certain conditions and random damage variability. The actual damage dealt is unchanged.
  
• Fixed an issue with the Atlantean Worm boss causing only the head to deal damage on impact and not any of the other segments.
  
• Fixed a crash and unpredictable behavior when dying to the Atlantean Worm after killing at least one worm segment.
  
• Avoid excessive temporary memory allocations during game and world initialization.
  
• Fixed the UI becoming unresponsive when loading a world containing objects from an uninstalled mod.
  

• Crystal Snails will no longer destroy any other tiles than Crystal Walls and Gleam Wood Roots and they will also no longer traverse water or pits by spawning Crystal Ground in their path. This change is intended to help avoid having the Crystal Snails affect player bases while still allowing them to roam around fairly free within the Crystal Biomes.
