Autumn Seasonal Content

This week marks the start of 2026 fall seasonal content. You can now find autumn resources throughout the world. Gather them for rare cosmetics, materials to make fall decorations for your settlement or house, and fall-themed food items. These items won’t be removed, but the resources will only be available from October 22 to December 3, so hunt them down while they’re here!

Added:

  • Added River Platforms, which you can place in river biomes to create temporary crossings.
  • Walk across, then collect your platforms to take with you and reuse elsewhere. Other players can use your crossing too.
  • Platforms block boats. To clear a path, any player can remove individual segments through the context menu, regardless of claim permissions.
  • Please follow our River Platform Use Policy when placing, collecting, or dismantling platforms.

River Platforms are intended as temporary crossings. They don’t replace permanent bridges or platforms, or the ability for mounts to swim. We’d still like to add those options in the future.

This feature has been a long time in the making, and we’d love to hear what you think once you’ve tried it.

  • Hunting Additions
    • Added hunting traps and lures, along with new models for both
      • Traps passively catch animals from time to time. Collecting a trapped animal gives you the same cargo as hunting a regular animal of the appropriate tier
      • Lures can be placed to spawn herds of animals of the appropriate tier. These animals are slower and have less health than regular animals of that tier. When killed, they provide animal cargo of the appropriate tier to everyone who damaged them. Animals respawn rapidly while the lure is active. Each lure lasts 2 minutes

  • Added some new “Arrow” items. These items can be used by new abilities to grant you hunting power for a long duration
  • Added new hunting charms and instruments
  • Added fishing statues made from enormous trophy fish that grant buffs to players who interact with them. Claim permission is required to interact with these statues. The buff grants fishing power, with higher tiers granting more power and a higher crit multiplier

  • Added support for searching the UI in both English and your selected language
  • Added map options for buildings and dungeons, placeables, and deployables
  • Added T4-6 and T7-9 quarries
  • Added new charms for the Scholar profession
  • Added a new cosmetic Witch's Hat
