Islands and Dedicated Servers

This update adds coastal regions to explore and more freedom to build on land.

New islands

  • Discover Green Bay, Split Atoll, and Overgrown Coast.
  • Recover a wreck part in Green Bay and choose whether to repair the old pier first or improve your raft.
  • Claim land and build floors, supports, huts, storage chests, lights, and planters.
  • Player buildings, island tasks, and island storage are saved.
  • The sunken submarine has a new walkable wreck model. Its loot now rests on solid, reachable surfaces.

Dedicated servers

  • Dedicated server packages are available for Windows and Linux.
  • Find public servers in the new Steam server browser, or keep using direct connect with an address, port, and password.
  • Your world and character progress are saved on the server, so the crew can continue without the original host.
  • Operators can configure sharks, raiders, and the leviathan, plus shark frequency, speed, and power. Players can see the active rules.
  • Shared building, crafting, gathering, and trading work on dedicated servers.
  • The bilingual setup and operations guide is available at overlkd.com/tidewrack/server.

Game feel

  • Stamina and movement state now stay reliably synchronized on dedicated servers.
  • Reconnecting preserves player position and survival values.
  • New games generate the new islands. Existing saves retain their original world generation and progress.
