⚠️ Save Compatibility Notice
Because this update completely revamps progression, weapons, armors, and food, older saves may lose some weapons or armor items. I’ve tried to mitigate this as much as possible, but some edge cases may still happen.
In addition, all old food items have been removed (they no longer exist) and are replaced by the new food system.
This update is a major progression overhaul focused on materials, crafting, armor, weapons, and food — with new stations, renamed gear tiers, and a cleaner sense of “what comes next.”
On top of that, there’s a ton of new content across the board: quests, building additions, custom paintings, new Archdemon animations, and… rumors spreading about portals and a strange flower appearing across the island.
Complete progression revamp: Items and materials now follow a clearer 3-stage path: Bronze Age → Steel Age → Darksteel Age
Armor overhaul with meaningful Light vs Heavy tradeoffs (stamina vs protection/evasion/absorption)
Food system fully reworked with new ingredients, recipes, and balance changes
New crafting station: Tannery for refining leather / silk / dragonhide
Custom Paintings: import any PNG or GIF into the game as a buildable painting
New quests (Stranger + Sylvia)
New Archdemon animations
Mannequin buildable
Rumors: portals… and a mysterious flower with an irresistible scent…
