This update is on the Beta Branch. Hop on over if you want to help us test the upcoming update.

Survival Skill Tree


This update introduces a brand new Survival Skill Tree. You will be able to earn points in this tree by cooking, fishing, and hunting. This tree will include 9 new skills to pick from that give you all kinds of benefits, ranging from experience bonuses in crafting skills, a chance to find more foraging materials, increased duration time from meal effects, and more.

Legendary Animals


There is now a set of legendary animals to hunt. These will be hard to find and often require knowledge of where to look. Hunting these animals will reward you with unique crafting materials that can then be used to make a lot of new items including new unique ship decorations, weapons, and armor. We've also included some new points of interest along with this content.
