March 2025 Update

New Lake Biome: With the new lake biome, players can enjoy some of the benefits offered by the seashore. Appearing in various shapes and sizes, lakes are abundant in fish, reeds and willows. Fishermen huts and houses can be constructed on the lakeshore for players to take advantage of their resources.
Outpost Cores: Players will be able to build proper outposts for villagers and assign builders and resource markers to particular outposts.
Villager Spawn Rate Changes: Villagers will be able to spawn with variable times based on population and the fewer players have the quicker they will spawn, allowing them to get off to a faster start. If a player has super high populations, this goes both ways and villagers will take longer to obtain.
Builder House: Players will be able to prioritize builder activities and assign the Firekeeper role.
Tier 2 Upgrades: Bloomery, Metalworker, Leatherworker, Farm, Cookhouse, and more will be available for Tier 2 upgrades.
