Hi Tinkerers,
It’s finally here, the Tinkertown 2.0 Update! With this new update, you will discover a revamped version of the world map with a new biome, bosses, and much more!
New World Map
With the new revamped version, you will see a difference in where all the biomes are located, and the map is no longer circular. Each biome is also much larger than before, so you have more key points of interest to find and explore.
New Lava Biome
The Lava Biome introduces new treacherous areas to explore, and it can get extremely hot, so make sure you're wear the proper equipment before venturing inside!
With the new biome, there will be new monsters for you to encounter and a new dungeon to explore. Are you up for the task?
But wait, that's not all! We’re bringing in a whole array of new furniture, walls, and flooring to the game. NPCs will also receive unique pieces to decorate their homes and much more!
