December 2025 was all about giving players more ways to progress. The crafting system launched — visit craft stations scattered around the world and turn raw materials into powerful equipment. Recipes guide you through what ingredients you need, and a clean UI makes the creation process intuitive and satisfying. Minimum level requirements ensure crafted gear matches your progression.
Hand in hand with crafting came the gathering system. Gather herbs, mine minerals, and chop wood to fuel your recipes. Resource nodes are scattered across the world, rewarding exploration and encouraging you to venture into new zones. Different areas offer different materials, so there's always a reason to explore.
We also made important quality-of-life improvements to hotkeys and settings. Rebind your keys to match your playstyle, adjust graphics quality with auto-detect support, set frame rate limits, and fine-tune your audio with split sound categories. These might not be flashy, but they make the experience so much smoother.
Finally, the character selection screen now shows your character's level, so you always know who you're jumping into the world with. Gather, craft, equip — the full loop of self-sufficiency is here, and it changes how you play the game.
