New Game Rules

Open your in game Compendium (Raven Menu) to see a list of all the new rules in game!

• Keep your fires lit! Workbenches no longer protect against monster spawns, torches and fireplaces do.
• Each player sees their own version of the Boss Stones depending on their own progression so you don't all have to play at the same time.
• No wooden arrows, they are over-powered.
• Low-map, use the Cartography Table and Compass to find your way. The map visibility depends on the age of the table, not you.
• Map Pins must be crafted and applied to signs in the wild, you can not apply them from the table.
• Ships and carts are automatically tracked.
• Death penalty: Keep 1 randomly equipped item. No skill loss (if you disable it on the server). Keep all the food in your belly.
• Regenerate your stamina when standing still even when encumbered or swimming.
• You can sleep in any bed even if you don't own it.
• Better comfort levels improve your healing rate.
• Tamed creatures don't overpopulate because offspring can't reproduce.
• Running on paths consumes half stamina. Paved paths consume no stamina.
• Terrain deformation is limited. No moats or indestructible walls. Build strong defenses accordingly.
• No building on trees. That's cheating, monsters can't hit you there.
• Meadows are safe from raids so newbies don't get wrecked.
• Turrets can have 3 targets instead of 1.
• Shield generators protect your fireplaces from the rain and snow.
• You can also eject the fuel and shut the shield down manually.
• Keys have limited durability and can be upgraded and repaired.
• Candles can be refilled.

QoL Improvements

• Target Lock! works on gamepad and keyboard
• Separate Jump / Dodge buttons
• Move your chests and other furniture around without smashing them.
• You can pin items to signs and see the quantity in nearby chests. This helps you stay organized.
• Find things in chests by interacting with signs.
• Automatically equip your shield or lantern when using a weapon.
• Automatically re-equip your weapons when exiting water.
• Carts are easier to use and can be used when upside down.
• Find fuel easily, just tap a fireplace and nearby containers with wood highlight if you don't have it in your inventory.
• Item Stands, Armor Stands, and Beehives all behave like containers for quick easy access.
• Swap your gear at an Armor Stand with one click.
• No need to fumble with 1-8 hotkeys, just select items directly from your inventory to assign to objects.
• Dedicated quick select repair button when hammer is equipped.
• Unobtrusive UI. Fewer numbers, more pictures. Clean, stylish, and unified.
• Autopickup toggle button extended with a 3rd option: Only pickup what is already in your inventory.
• Full Gamepad Support

Work Together

By design there are no crafting from containers or other forms of automation because they accelerate the gameplay loop. Instead, you have a robust set of new features for hoard management via signs and redecoration that fix a lot of the painful issues of finding what you are looking for. Just point at a sign and assign items to it to view the quantity nearby. Tap a sign to locate the item in a container. Middle-click an item in your inventory to find it in nearby containers.
