Patch Notes for v0.16.5

Aldian of Ancients Playtest · published 6 Oct 2026, 17:20 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Changed


- A newly created dinosaur starts with full food and full water.

Fixed


- A carcass that falls through the ground no longer lets you eat anywhere around it.
- Dying while the world map is open closes the map, and the death screen still appears.
- Wildlife spawners on solid ground spawn again instead of logging a failed spawn location.
- A sideways bite or swing knocks the target along the swing instead of straight ahead.
- A dinosaur dies in the water when its health reaches zero.
- After a dinosaur grows, the client uses that new stage immediately instead of the previous one.
- Joining a map that already has decayed carcasses no longer freezes the client.

Balance


- The Tromossaurus boss hits much harder and takes far longer to kill.

When a second player joins, the oldest adult male becomes Alpha and the oldest adult female becomes Matriarch. If the pack shrinks back to one, those titles drop. - Each growth stage has its own food and water pool. Growing keeps the same fullness. A bite cannot take more food than that stage is allowed in one eat, or more than the…Game update26 Sep 2026Patch Notes for v0.16.3Added Hold a key (default R, rebindable as Roar wheel) to open a roar wheel, aim with the mouse or the right stick, and release to roar. Releasing in the center cancels. Attacks and other actions do not fire while it is held. Number keys 1–4 no longer play roars. The server list shows how many milliseconds away each public server is. New characters pick a dinosaur from a 3D circle (left/right)…
