Nomad News

Hello Survivors!

New workbenches, new safe zone, balance and more!

Read below for the full changelog.

Thanks for playing!


Workbenches have changed. Workbenches are now limited to ONE per player, thus stopping one or two people claiming the entire island. If you place another workbench, your old workbench will be deleted. This will help if you cannot get to your workbench (IE raided).

This may increase to 2 per player over the next update. I'll keep an eye on it.


Another Safe Zone added near the airfield to help spread out the players. I'm seeing a lot of safe zone camping so adding another one will help spread the players out.

It is random which Safe Zone you get. You cannot choose.


Salah has moved to the new Safe Zone.

As always the full changelog is at the bottom. Thanks for playing!

Hello Survivors!

Couple of bug fixes for the last update. Some things were a bit broken and missing tooltips. Also noticed a lot of people don't know where to start when they begin in Nomad. Nomad offers lots of content and stuff to do but people just don't know where to start.

This update helps change this by adding in a Tutorial system that new players (and veterans) can follow! The system will tell you exactly what to do on the right hand side of the screen and will reward you by completing each step.

The tutorial system will take you through equipping your first item to creating your very own base and gambling with Saleh. It's not a complete tutorial of the game, but it's a start. Over the next few patches I will be extending the tutorial system.

You can skip the tutorial system by doing /tskip or hide and show the tutorial by doing /thide or /tshow

For the full list of changes, see the changelog below.

Thanks for playing,

For those who missed it, here's the auger and the copper update:



The Auger Drill is an automatic machine that drills through your foundations and gathers all mining materials. Simply power it with Fuel and let it run. It does not damage your foundations and can be only placed on foundations.

Caution, it is loud!

Gold Ore is exclusive to only the Auger Drill and won't find it through Mining Nodes. Expect to see more exclusive items through the drill in the coming patches.



Copper and Copper Ore are new to Nomad. This material is for building and crafting machines. Expect to use a lot if you want to create them.

Also in this update is Gold Ore, which can be only found through the Auger Drill.



Nomad Premium is the ultimate DLC to have, containing but not limited to; 26 Exclusive player skins, Premium gold coloured name tags, Access to /kits, 20+ Death effects when your character dies, Spray your Steam avatar on anything in game and many, many more benefits and features.
