Hi everyone,

We have prepared a content update that introduces a new weapon skill tree for elemental staves. It features a variety of combo attacks, powerful AoE spells, and defensive buffs. The staff skill tree can be unlocked at any point in the game by defeating enemies using staves.

Previously, staves were the only weapon type without a dedicated skill tree, so this update is aimed at expanding gameplay options for magic users and bringing them in line with other weapon types.

1. Echoing Strike – Spells emit a resonant echo from the target, striking nearby enemies.

2. Phase Step – Increases movement speed after casting a spell.

3. Temporal Burst – Increases casting speed after using a staff attack.

4. Spellbind – Slows the target’s movement speed.

5. Essence Siphon – Steals Focus from the target when using a staff attack.

6. Arcane Ward – Casting spells also creates a barrier absorbing damage.

7. Elemental Scatter – Unleashes the spell bound to the staff multiple times in random directions around the caster.

8. Hexstorm – Strikes all nearby enemies with beams of pure energy.

9. Wild Surge – Creates a powerful energy explosion around the caster.

10. Astral Shift – Grants immunity to physical attacks after using Sidestep.

11. Ethereal Form – Provides damage reduction after using Evade.

12. Chronostasis – Surrounds the caster with an indestructible barrier, granting immunity to all damage and rapidly restoring health.

• Fixed an issue where movement speed reduction effects were not applied correctly in some cases.

• Fixed an issue where some weapon skill abilities would not activate when used from a quickslot while aiming.

• Fixed an issue where ability levels could be incorrect when triggered from a quickslot.

• Fixed an issue where assigning a spell to a quickslot that already contained an ability could fail.

• Fixed an issue where visual effects from building parts could appear in placement previews.

We are continuing work on additional content updates, as well as a rework of the multiplayer system, which will be available soon.

Thank you for your support! We truly appreciate it.

Hello everyone!

This update focuses on stability and UI clarity. We’ve addressed several edge-case issues that could disrupt progression or cause mechanics to behave inconsistently. Below are the full patch notes:

• Reworked unique affix activation mechanics to prevent cases where they would fail to trigger under certain conditions.

• Fixed an issue where an amulet’s unique ability would not function after reloading the game until it was re-equipped.

• Fixed an issue where encounter enemies could spawn inside buildings or too close to constructed structures.

• Fixed an issue where character approval could be gained repeatedly by exiting a dialogue after an approval change and then starting the conversation again.

• Fixed an issue where a quickslot containing an item stored in a bag would disappear after closing the inventory window.

• Fixed an issue where Resin Storage was not unlocked after obtaining Resin with the Resin Tapping Tool.

• Fixed an issue where obtaining resources from an autoharvester could, in some cases, fail to trigger recipe unlocks.

• Fixed an issue where appearance style buttons in the inventory menu could sometimes fail to function correctly.

• Fixed an issue where certain worker tools were incorrectly displayed as locked in the Building Menu, even though they could only be constructed through Building Slots while editing zones. The total number of available recipes remains unchanged. The removed locked recipe buttons were duplicates of their corresponding Building Slot options.

• Fixed an issue where the Next Page button in the Building Menu was clickable even when the page contained no available recipes.

• Moved the Potter’s Wheel recipe to the first page of the Potter’s Building Menu.

• Various localization fixes and improvements.
