Areas
26 changes in this update

Added

12 changes
Demolition
  • Buildings collapse under their own weight: heavy blocks crush weak supports, and big collapses spill debris

Tasks
  • A short Tutorial teaches the core loop first, and the rest of chapter 1 becomes The Job

World
  • New players start just inside District 1, with something to break in reach

  • Shots stop at district walls and the map edge, and a hit ripples the force field where it lands

Tools
  • Outside a district your tool stays in your hand but lowered, and you can't swing until you step back in

  • Trying to attack outside a district tells you why nothing happens

Leaderboards
  • Your leaderboard rank shows as a tag beside your name in chat, the player list and on your home sign

Contracts
  • Salvage reward cards on the Contract Board show what they sell for at the Hopper

UI
  • What's New shows each update's notes once when you join, and any time from the Escape menu

  • Shadows, Block Detail, Particles and Bloom settings let you trade looks for framerate

  • Your throwable sits as a small disc above the power ring, and the ring refills as it recharges

  • The crosshair turns to a gray x on blocks that can never be broken, and hides when your hands are empty

Improved

5 changes
Demolition
  • Fire races through wood, while stone and metal take far more heat to catch and barely spread it

World
  • District 1 is level ground that meets the hub path, with no hills or grass staircase

Tools
  • Impact grenades hit much harder in a tighter blast

UI
  • The HUD, pickup feed and menus cost less CPU, which helps framerate on low-end machines

  • Item cells show their block material without the diagonal stripes behind them

Fixed

9 changes
Tasks
  • Crack the Harvest Geode completes if you already cracked it before the task appeared

  • Going Deeper's geode task accepts any geode, so cracking the Harvest Geode early can't strand it

World
  • Stone dug out of a district comes back its normal color when the district resets

  • Coal and ore come back in dug-out ground when a district resets

Tools
  • Guns no longer shake violently while lowered outside a district

  • The tool or item in your hand glows with the same bloom as the world around it

Leaderboards
  • The Hours on the Job board shows a clock instead of a settings icon

UI
  • Closed chat no longer leaves an empty band above its last lines

Placeables
  • Glass and water show again on the curio shelf, sluice box and other placeables
