Good Day, Lads! ⛏️
New update is up! This time, we’re bringing a batch of improvements and fixes that should make your journey through the world of the Shattered Isles even better.
All Aboard! Or Not - the choice is finally yours.
For those who play with a friend, we’ve improved travelling by airship. From now on, players will no longer be automatically teleported aboard when the other player enters the airship. Instead, the player who stays behind will receive a notification with an option to quickly join their buddy. This way, you can continue minding your own business while the other player freely flies around the island.
We’ve also added proper notifications for both players when the airship begins leaving the island area. This gives the captain a chance to turn back. If the airship continues beyond the island area, the second player will be teleported aboard after a short countdown.
We’ve also added features based on your feedback, such as Styz’s request to display how much mana is currently available through the Mana Transmitter 😁 It’s also worth highlighting that we’ve improved settler navigation, so they should no longer get stuck inside walls!
The update also brings new skills for Ragna, clearer descriptions for hidden technologies, new ways to obtain Dark Stones, improved chest loot, balance changes, and plenty of fixes.
We could brag about all the improvements, but we’re already busy working on the next cool update for you 😎 So, without further ado, below is the full changelog.
