I just want to say thank you to everyone who has ever played the game. Whether you were here at the start or only stopped by for a while, it truly means a lot to me. Even if you’ve moved on, the fact that you spent time in Nomad is something I’ll always appreciate. Here's to 10 more years to 1.0 release! :D
Water Barrels will now automatically fill up nearby Hydroponics Stations when the station runs out of Water Bottles and there are still seeds inside left. Water Barrel must have Water Bottles inside it for this to work.
Fuel Tables will automatically fill up nearby Generators with Fuel when the generator runs out. Fuel Table must have Fuel inside for this to work.
Blood Moon Amulets are now in the game and when used will spawn a Blood Moon on the next sunset. Blood Moon Amulets can be found in Blood Moon Graves or trading Lost Souls to The Reaper during a Blood Moon.
A new furnace has been added, the Blast Furnace. This furnace is a bigger and better furnace and has 40 slots to smelt all your nomad things.
Managing your machines just got a whole lot easier. With the new update, you can now automate item transfers from machines directly into storage chests!
This feature currently works with the Auger Drill and Oil Pump, with support for more machines on the way. To get started, install the new Hopper Mod into an Auger Drill or Oil Pump. This allows the machine to begin sending its items out automatically.
But where do the items go? That’s where the Magnet Mods come in. Place an Auger Drill Magnet or Oil Pump Magnet inside any storage chest, and the connected machine will send its items straight there—no manual hauling needed.
Set it up once and enjoy a cleaner, more efficient operation while you focus on what matters most— raiding!
The Camper Driver will teleport you to locations around the map. Some locations are locked behind items. For example, if you have a Pinewood Charm item in your inventory, you can teleport to Pinewood City. These items can be found throughout the world.
Machines have been rebalanced and Fuel also now costs 3 Oil Bottles.
Hydroponics Station will now grant the farming achievement.
The Nomad Christmas tree and Safe Zone fireworks have been enabled. All players will start a special present and depending if you are premium or not, a full Elf or Santa suit. Happy Holidays!
Nomad is 8 years old, thank you for your continued support over the years, it means a lot!
New fireworks have been added around the safe zones which will only be enabled at night. Be sure to be around for the show!
Blood Moon Graves now have a high chance of zombies spawning when looting. More Blood Moon Graves will now spawn around the map during a Blood Moon too.
Campfires will now cook food one tick at a time instead of cooking the entire container in one tick. This is more inline with how furnaces work so it's more consistent.
In addition to the food per tick changes, campfires will also now have a high chance of burning meat when cooked. The smoke effect has been changed too.
The Dew Catcher has been reworked to act more like how the other containers work. Simply fill the Dew Catcher with Empty Bottles and it will automatically fill up with Dirty Water if it's placed outside. It can hold up to 4 Empty Bottles (or Canteens) at a time, and will fill up every 6th smelting tick, regardless if it rains or not. However if it does rain, the Dew Catcher will fill up the bottles.
To combat the new addition of food burning in campfires, we have introduced an electric oven. The oven requires a generator nearby to power it and requires 4 metal and 2 copper to craft. It can hold up to 24 uncooked items and does not burn food at all.
Automatically repair all base foundations, walls, ceilings, doors, garage doors and doorways. The Auto Hammer works like a storage chest but only construction items can be placed within it. Wood, Metal, Improved Metal and Stone. Once construction items are placed inside, it will automatically repair all structures if the health falls below 70%. It does not need to be powered by a generator and costs 4 Metal, 4 Improved Metal and 4 Copper to craft.
The Auto Hammer requires 3 of the material to repair the base structure. Making it more expensive than manually doing it, but allows for some offline protection. The Auto Hammer will not repair a structure if the damage exceeds the health of the structure.
The range of the Auto Hammer is same as the generator when powering machines and lights. So if you have a large base, multiple Auto Hammers may need to be placed down, jotted around the base for full protection.
The Water Pump is a great way to passively fill up empty bottles or canteens without needing to purify them at a campfire. The Water Pump requires a nearby powered generator to work and only Empty Bottles or Half/Empty Canteens can be placed inside.
Now you can build your own hatches and climb your way to the next level of your base. The ladder is included, you can stack multiple hatches on top of each other to make one giant ladder leading to the top of your base!
Hatches follow the same tiers as the rest of the base structures. Cardboard > Wood > Stone > Metal > Improved Metal and has the same crafting costs as ceilings/floors.
Hatches also follow the same support system as the ceiling, meaning that a wall much be present under or around the hatch for support. Without a supporting wall, the hatch will destroy itself.
There's a new section in the crafting menu, under Tools called "Mods". These mods when placed in their respective places will enable special passives. For example, adding the Fuel Tank mod to a generator will decrease the consumption rate of Fuel by 10%, or the Oven Grill mod which increases storage capacity.
These mods are locked behind recipes, which can be found in barrels and loot pallets scattered around the world.
More mods will be coming in later patches when more machines come.
The weather system has been improved to provide more variation of clouds, better quality stars at night and better lighting. Stars are also bigger and now rotate around the skybox during the night. Sun and moon now has smoother movement when progressing through the day.
There is a 20% chance of rain per weather tick, 20% of which will be a storm. This should calm the storms so you don't see so many in a play session.
Zombies attack speed has been greatly reduced and their damaged adjusted.
All world music in the game has been changed. Nice!
New Steam achievements have been added for you to obtain. Time to farm your 100% completion progress again.
The Variety Skin Pack is available. This DLC contains 11 new skins for you to flex with inside of the game. Simply change your skin in the customize tab in the main menu.

Meet The Reaper. He will only spawn at a Blood Moon. Trade him Lost Souls to obtain special Blood Moon exclusive items. You can find him at both Safe Zones.
Talk to him when a Blood Moon is active to get a free Death Scythe weapon. The Death Scythe is only usable within a Blood Moon unless you wearing the full Reaper's Set.
Generators can now be placed to generate power to your base. Lights have been added to Metal and Improved Metal ceilings and once a generator is placed near them (and it's on!) the lights will become active.
Generators require Fuel for them to function and will power anything within a 35m radius.
Pinewood needed some love. It was boring and looked awful. I took the time to remake it and now it features a full city.
There are now 5 types of ammo for you to pick up around the world.
- Pistol Ammo
- SMG Ammo
- AR Ammo
- Shotgun Ammo
- Sniper Ammo
This should also simplify all weapon types and their ammo types. No longer need 2 AR Rifles with 2 different ammo types.
All recipes have also been updated to reflect the new change. Simply craft the ammo you want and it will store in the "ammo inventory"
You will lose all ammo on death. Dropped next to your body per stack.
Picking up ammo will automatically fill your ammo count in the respective category.
To drop or store the ammo, simply click the icon on the side inside of inventory.
Death boxes removed, your body will now explode all your loot when you die.
It didn't make much sense starting players off on Level 0. This patch fixes this. Players start at Level 1, and work their way up to Level 10.
Overall XP gains have been increased throughout the game as well as Pallets now giving XP and cash.
New achievements have been added to the game, ranging from getting legendries to gambling.
Workbenches have changed. Workbenches are now limited to ONE per player, thus stopping one or two people claiming the entire island. If you place another workbench, your old workbench will be deleted. This will help if you cannot get to your workbench (IE raided).
This may increase to 2 per player over the next update. I'll keep an eye on it.
Another Safe Zone added near the airfield to help spread out the players. I'm seeing a lot of safe zone camping so adding another one will help spread the players out.
It is random which Safe Zone you get. You cannot choose.
Salah has moved to the new Safe Zone.
As always the full changelog is at the bottom. Thanks for playing!
