Ahoy Pathfinders!
In this patch, we are preparing for a new era in Atlas. The winds of progress are coming to the world, bringing new structures and adventures for all pathfinders, new and old. Large plumes of smoke can be seen on the horizon, signaling the “revolution” to come.
First off, we have the much anticipated tame house being introduced in this patch. Breeders rejoice, these tame houses will make a great shelter for all your fauna friends, while significantly speeding up the breeding process.
In preparation for the new season and Wonder coming soon, the fires of the industrial forge have been stoked to produce new resources and structures for Atlas. With these metallurgical advances, the landscape of Atlas will never be the same.
Discover the origins of these new technological feats in two new regions of the Atlas map. Along with the new discoveries, these areas hold new mysteries and challenges that will test even the most seasoned pathfinder.
Lastly, as always, we are dedicated to bettering the gameplay experience with every patch. This patch has a slew of bug fixes and improvements for the game, many suggested and reported by the community. We appreciate all the support and will continue to keep the community first as we move forward to final release. Happy sailing!

Bears, Cats, Cattle, Crocodiles, Elephants, Giraffes, Horses, Lions, Monkeys, Pigs, Rabbits, Rhinos, Shield Horns, Sheep, Tigers, and Tortugar.
After obtaining the Beastmaster 2 skill, the Tame House will be buildable at a Smithy:

Industrial Wonder Content
With Industrial Expansion on the horizon, so comes its innovation to the Atlas. Generators to augments resources and Statues to ring in the advancement are arriving to Atlas
Industrial Generator and New Wall Variants
Industrial Generator
A new experimental generator is available to build. It burns the pure sulfur, orichalcum and brimstone you’ve been harvesting and changes the Resources around the immediate area.
It can be crafted in the Industrial Smithy
This generator introduces Sulfurized Stone and Orichalcumized Stone into the game to use in creating new walls.
Large Stone Wall Variants
With all the newly augmented resources from the industrial generator, there are old recipes that can be modified to be potentially better than ever.
Specifically, Large Stone walls and Gates with orichalcumized or sulfurized stone finishes. Their respective properties activate when Brimstone is burned in the area.
Orichalcumized Walls and Gates will provide increased impact damage protection while Sulfurized Walls and Gates will provide increased Explosive damage protection.

Final Note
Again, we would like to emphasize that ATLAS is still in Early Access, meaning many things can and will likely continue to drastically change - even in the middle of development. Anything discussed is only up to date as of the moment it is posted. Features and changes that ultimately make it to the next patch, as well as timing, may be different from what was previously discussed.
As always, we appreciate the suggestions and feedback from the community. Please keep them coming! Thank you for all of your support! :)
Happy Sailing,
- ATLAS Crew
