Hi Creatifriends,

Great news for all you builders and collectors out there. We’ve added 10 new pieces of furniture and 22 new food recipes! We figured the game just wouldn’t be complete without the ability to lounge in style on a Lumite Chair while munching on a Tar Sandwich (P.S: Your pets just called… they can haz some?).

This update also contains the start of a better experience for new players. Our goal is to strike a balance between being mysterious enough that there’s still plenty of discovery, while also gently encouraging new players not familiar with the genre. So there’s better item descriptions, a clearer quickbar, and things like that, as well as a new “Janky House” starter Blueprint you’ll receive upon creating a world.

We appreciate all the feedback you guys had on the recipe tweaks from R23 and have further refined the balance based on it. Finally, we’ve removed the daily coin button. You can read more about that here.

Hi Creatifriends,

Get your arctek plows ready — there’s a lot to harvest in R23!

The biggest change you’ll notice in this one is our refined hotbar UI, which aims to make equipping the new farming and ranching tools more intuitive. But that’s just the appetizer. The main course is our largest block update yet: a smorgasbord of stairs, roofs and walls to spice up your decor. Feast your eyes upon these…

Good news for anyone playing in Europe — you can now select servers closer to your crib. We’re hoping it helps improve lag in multiplayer (e.g. less delay when friends are pulling blocks). It will only apply to new worlds you create after making the switch. Let us know how it feels if you try it.

A couple noteworthy improvements:

1) We spent a good amount of time refining player movement. Jump around, run up some stairs, walk on some slabs and feel the difference.
2) We’ve overhauled recipes for power cells, armor, and weapons. Our goal was to better encourage surface exploration in the adventurer progression.

As always, we welcome your insightful feedback on this update!
