PixARK 1.229 Update Announcement

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Dear Explorers,

PixARK will conduct server maintenance today (August 31st), with an estimated maintenance duration of 1 hour.

We sincerely apologize for the issues impacting your gameplay experience since the launch of Terracrypt. Our team is working at full‑speed to resolve these problems. Frequent updates will be released in the near future to bring you a more polished gaming experience as soon as possible.

This maintenance includes numerous bug fixes and optimizations. Details are listed below:

【Bug Fixes】

PixARK / Skypiea

  • Fixed an issue where the TEK Transporter could not be used on the Skypiea map.

  • Fixed an engram display error at Level 30 on PixARK / Skypiea, where the Electric Drill (requiring Adhesive as crafting material) appeared incorrectly.

  • Fixed invalid boss challenge options in the Ancient Beast Portal on the Skypiea map.

  • Fixed a crafting‑material error for the Hippocampus Saddle on PixARK / Skypiea, where Adhesive was mistakenly listed as a required resource.

Terracrypt

  • Fixed an occasional issue where the Ruin Boss on the Terracrypt map would fail to spawn.

  • Fixed a bug where the right‑click skill of the U‑Variant Minotaur could damage player‑built structures.

  • Fixed an issue where faucets could not fill kettles with water on the Terracrypt map.

  • Fixed an occasional issue where treasure chests dropped by the Broodmother Exotic Flower Boss would be blocked by its nest model and become unlootable.

  • Fixed missing explosion visual effects for the Molten Crystal Armor Set.

  • Fixed a loot error for chests in the Exiled Wastes, which incorrectly dropped the Fission Wyvern Saddle.

  • Fixed a server‑crash issue that could occur when renaming train stations on the Terracrypt map.

  • Fixed an issue where the Elite Goblin King on the Terracrypt map could not be hit by arrows.

  • Fixed untranslated map name Terracrypt map on English server lists, which caused display issues.

【Game Optimizations】

PixARK / Skypiea

  • Optimized text display for crafting material requirements on PixARK / Skypiea.

Terracrypt

  • Added Amber drops to resource chests obtained by mining on the Terracrypt map.

  • Added Forget‑Me‑Not Soup, unlockable at Level 39 and craftable in the Cooking Pot.

  • Artifact Pedestals and Grinders are now locked by default after being placed in‑world on the Terracrypt map.

  • Updated the name of the Stone Water Pipe to Stone Water Pipe (Straight / Elbow). Updated item description: While placing, press Q to switch between straight and elbow pipes.

  • Standing Torches now provide lighting for planted crops.

  • Improved the plant‑status HUD to display water‑supply and lighting status. Crops without sufficient light will prompt players to use Standing Torches, Standing Spotlights or Omni‑Directional Lamps as a light source.

  • Updated seed‑planting descriptions to clarify that Standing Torches, Standing Spotlights or Omni‑Directional Lamps are required to provide light for seed growth.

  • All creatures inside the Inferno Abyss are now immune to the boss’s fire burn damage (U‑Variant Triple‑Headed Hellhound [Frost‑Permafrost Tundra] excluded).

  • Changed the burn visual effect inflicted by Fire Bats to purple flames, matching the color of their fire projectile.

  • Reduced the Silence debuff duration inflicted by Abyss Wyrms from 60 seconds to 20 seconds. Extended the silence‑skill cooldown of wild Abyss Wyrms from 30 seconds to 60 seconds.

  • Optimized the poison‑pool effect in the Venom Mire Cavern.

  • Optimized text‑wrapping for over‑long player names during player scanning.

  • Removed the radiation‑level requirement for hatching Glowbird eggs.

  • Revised skill text from "Harvest Fission Mica Crystal" to "Harvest Fission Biocrystal" within the Evil Eye Codex on the Terracrypt map.

These are all the contents of this update. Once again, we apologize for any unpleasant gameplay experience caused by early‑launch issues.

Thank you for your continued patience and support. We greatly appreciate every problem report submitted by explorers. We value each feedback seriously and will keep refining Terracrypt to deliver a better‑quality game.
