Build 25526886

🛞 Meet the Buggy, Tesera’s new ground vehicle! You can now travel across the world faster and have more fun doing it: bring a friend along and hit the road together!

Alongside the new vehicle, this update brings major improvements across many other parts of the game:

🆕 New Features:

• Added a new wheeled vehicle: the Buggy.

• Added a temporary recipe for the Buggy. It will be made more complex in the future.

• A new flight mechanism for flying mobs has been implemented. It is currently applied to STALKER_DRONE_RANGED.

• Added a new sword trail type, with configurable trail types and shaders for each sword.

• Added the Unique Recipes system. Unique Recipes are account-bound crafting recipes stored in a separate inventory accessible from the main menu. Once unlocked, a recipe becomes available for crafting in all game worlds. These items are primarily cosmetic and are not intended to affect gameplay progression or provide gameplay advantages. The system is still under development and currently operates in a testing phase. Various types of rewards will be added later.
