Hey everyone! Welcome to today's devlog. Let's dive into the latest on our Halloween event and tease what’s in store for the next update! [h2]Halloween Event[/h2] [b]Time's ticking—this weekend is your last chance to join the Halloween Loot Hunt![/b] It's been thrilling to see everyone in the game hunting for the new Halloween-themed items. The riddle we introduced has been a hit, and we love watching you all exchange tips and tricks to solve it. For those collecting pumpkin hats, you've probably noticed a 10% chance of snagging one with a cool particle effect. We're aware the blue pumpkin hat isn't showing its effect properly. No worries—if your steam inventory lists it as "with flame" or shows another effect, it'll be visible after our next patch. There's nothing you need to do on your end. [h2]Roadmap Revisited[/h2] Looking back at this year, we've checked off nearly all the goals on our roadmap since our 2022 launch. Yet, we're far from done with content updates. With a wellspring of new ideas and gameplay enhancements, we're eager to continue evolving the game as we journey through Early Access. Your suggestions on Discord spark even more creativity for future features! Coming next year, we're revamping the tent upgrade system, adding more customization to firearms, and introducing new paint options for your placeables. Take a glance at the updated roadmap and join the conversation about the updates you're most excited about.

To align with the launch of update 1.12, all official servers will undergo a progression wipe on November 21. While unofficial servers aren't obligated to wipe, we recommend it for the best experience. Wipes are rare but necessary for significant updates. Don't worry, though; you can enjoy uninterrupted gameplay on official servers for several months post-update. We appreciate your understanding. [h2]Update 1.12 Sneak Peek[/h2] Our team has been diligently crafting update 1.12, and we're stoked to share that it will roll out in the experimental branch next week, right after the Halloween festivities wrap up. Get ready for a culinary revolution with over 30 new recipes and a completely dynamic cooking system! You can throw in any ingredients you like to whip up a dish, with the energy value varying based on your choices—for instance, swordfish in your soup will pack more punch than perch. We've also mixed in jams and other treats that offer various buffs, and now you can combine them with any food to customize your adventuring boosts. We can't wait to see your top dish selections and how you plan to gear up for exploration. [h2]New In-Game Hats[/h2] Plus, we're thrilled to unveil two new in-game hats: the Woodcutter Hat and the brand-new Ballistic Helmet. We're setting up a mini-raid where you'll have the chance to conquer a boss and snag that helmet. And here’s a little sneak peek with a screenshot of the new raid island!
