Content/Feature Updates

New PvE Scenario: Endless Dream

If the apocalypse descends in a dream, would you be prepared to face it?

In an ever-shifting dreamscape, you must hunt down the Original Entity behind the nightmares and awaken the world from its terrible slumber.

1. Gameplay Features

a) Full Map Access: All existing regions are accessible in Phase I. Explore Nalcott in its entirety—from the southern Broken Delta to Ember Strand in the north—right from the get-go.

b) Dream Zones: Layers of nested Dream Zones encroach upon the wilderness, each featuring unique environmental traits and combat effects. As you venture deeper into the nightmares, their effects stack and multiply. As a Meta-Human, your mission is to purify these layered zones to reshape the environment and its rules. Construction is possible inside Dream Zones even without a Territory Terminal, allowing you to unleash your creativity and overcome the nightmare by any means possible.

c) Player-Driven Progress and Multiple Endings: Dream Zones and Deviants will evolve as the scenario progresses, presenting ever-changing challenges. As Meta-Humans eliminate Eternal Dreamers, they will reduce the durations of Phases I to V, intensifying the scenario's pace and difficulty. Your collective efforts to purge the Eternal Dreamers will also decide the world's fate. Will the world be saved, or will you witness its ultimate destruction? The outcome rests entirely in your hands.

3. Scenario Features

a) Dream Zones

Eternal Nightmare Tubes will continuously generate Deep Dreamers, and Deep Dreamers will continuously generate Light Dreamers. All three types of Nightmare Tubes will transform their surroundings into Dream Zones.

When you are in a Dream Zone:

i. You accumulate Strayness over time. When you reach the limit, you will descend into the nightmare and black out. You can craft Reality Resetols to reset your current Strayness. Deviants known as Nightmares roam the Dream Zones. If you meet their gaze, your Strayness accumulation will speed up.

ii. You can build freely. However, you cannot place a Territory Terminal inside a Dream Zone.

iii. You may encounter Dream Zone events. Complete them to receive rewards from the Dream Zone.

Clear the Dream Zones and restore Nalcott to its former glory!

b) Dreamfused Items

Dream Zones are home to three unique gathering materials: Dreamweaver Trees, Dreamweaver Fruit, and Wakeful Clocks. You can also obtain special drops known as Reality Fragments.

i. Dreamweaver Tree: A tree with leaves of red crystal. Fell it to acquire Stardust Source.

ii. Dreamweaver Fruit: A floating fruit. You'll need to build structures to gather them and acquire various crystals.

iii. Wakeful Clock: A scattered clock. Use tools to gather them and acquire Wakeful Sand.

iv. Reality Fragment: Defeat Deep Dreamers or Light Dreamers to acquire Reality Fragments.

c) Nightmare Tubes

Nightmare Tubes are sinister reliquaries housing twisted dream creatures. When a courageous person uses Wakeful Sand to awaken a Nightmare Tube from its dream, a "minor" disturbance will spill into the real world. Nightmare Tubes will summon different Nightmarelings when awakened, in order of descending power: Eternal Dreamers, Deep Dreamers, and Light Dreamers. You must expend Reality Fragments to obtain the full rewards for defeating an Eternal Dreamer.

i. Eternal Dreamers: Dream sovereigns that have breached the Dream Zone to manifest in reality. Brutal, chaotic, and wielding unfathomable power, they wreak disaster across the continent. They are both unstoppable titans and the ruthless enforcers of the nightmare world. While present, they will absorb the Nightmare Specs and Nightmare States of all nearby Deep Dreamers.

ii. Deep Dreamers: Nightmare wraiths born from gigantic Nightmare Tubes, they are the source of this calamity and creators of despair. While present, they will provide nearby Light Dreamers with Nightmare Specs, and nearby Eternal Dreamers with their Nightmare Specs and Nightmare States.

iii. Light Dreamers: Sinister entities born from smaller Nightmare Tubes, they surge forth and leave misfortune and calamities in their wake. While present, they provide nearby Deep Dreamers with their Nightmare States.

Nightmare States come in attribute and mechanic types. Attribute-type Nightmare States apply to all enemies in the area, while mechanic-type Nightmare States apply only to specific targets (such as Eternal Dreamers).

Mechanic-type Nightmare States: Bubbly Constitution and Bubbly Energy.

Attribute-type Nightmare States: Strength Parasite and Symbiosis.

d) Nightmare Specs

Deep Dreamers provide three types of Nightmare Specs: Explosive, Lightning, and Evernight.

i. Explosive Specs: Causes random, large-area explosions that destroy trees and ores. Deviants explode upon death. If killed by a Weakspot hit, they drop an Unstable Energy orb that can be directed before detonating shortly after. Deviants also gain a shield that provides high DMG Reduction (especially Sorrows!) and can only be broken by Unstable Energy orbs.

ii. Lightning Specs: Lightning will strike periodically. During the inactive phase, lightning strikes are slow and come with a warning. During the active phase, lightning strikes fast with almost no warning! If lightning strikes ore, metal ingots are produced—a rare gift from nature! Rosetta has invented the Lightning Rod to counter these lightning strikes effectively.

iii. Evernight Specs: Meta-Humans in this zone suffer from Dark Corrosion, which quickly builds up Strayness and reduces visibility. If left unchecked, vision worsens and HP steadily drops. Nightmare Light Sources spawn here. Staying close to them helps resist Dark Corrosion and improves visibility. They can also be gathered and used to craft Lumen and Nightmare Lanterns.

e) Specs Entities

Different Nightmare Specs result in different entities.

i. Dream Zone Entities

Nightmareling: An entity that appears in all Dream Zones. Staring at it leads to rapid Strayness accumulation. It will physically pursue Meta-Humans who have almost gone astray in the nightmare. If you have less than 10 minutes of activity left in the Dream Zone, it will teleport to hunt you.

Countermeasures: Construct buildings in the Dream Zone to block Nightmarelings, avoid staring at them, or use Dreamruptive ammo to defeat them.

ii. Explosive Entities

Sorrow: Its unique physiology renders it immune to all damage except explosions. Once it locks onto a target, it will relentlessly pursue them and self-destruct in close proximity, causing nearby units to rapidly lose body temperature.

Countermeasures: Use explosion damage or Unstable Energy orbs to defeat Sorrows.

Innocence: A huge teddy bear born from the dreams of children who adore plush toys and TV shows. Despite appearances, its large fists aren't soft at all, and will burst open when the bear is defeated, unleashing smaller bears from within. And when these smaller bears are defeated, they will unleash even smaller bears.

Countermeasures: Prioritize your targets to keep the enemy count under control.

iii. Lightning Entities

Pain: A unique Deviant that spawns in Nightmare Specs: Lightning zones. Lighting strikes more frequently around Pains and charges them, making them more powerful. However, lightning may also cause them to overload.

Countermeasures: Use lightning orbs to reduce their charge.

iv. Evernight Entities

Spawns Dread and Shade Deviants.

Dread: Only spawns in Nightmare Specs: Evernight zones. Dreads are completely invisible beyond a certain distance. If you get closer, you can see their outline, but they remain protected by Shades and cannot be damaged.

Countermeasures: Nightmare Light Sources can temporarily dispel a Dread's Shade status. You can also use Lumen to remove their Shade protection.

Class System Public Test

To enrich your experience and help you thrive on Nalcott, we are introducing a class system, currently in public testing. Rediscover the world and unleash new possibilities with your chosen class!

* During the public test, you can try the class system without limitations. We will refine the class system based on your feedback. Please submit your suggestions on social media or the Co-Dev Feedback Platform!

The following classes will be available: Chef, Gardener, and Beastmaster.

Each class has a core ability and three unique talents. The core ability fundamentally alters the gameplay rules, while the talents synergize with it to sharpen each class's distinct identity and role.

1. The Chef freely chooses ingredients to craft unique dishes without being restricted by recipes. During creative cooking, there's a chance for a Success that grants the dish enhanced effects with longer durations.

2. The Gardener specializes in crops and biomechanics. Can graft crops with other crops or biomechanical parts to yield dual-stat crops or special biomechanical crops. Biomechanical parts are sometimes dropped by Biomechanical Deviants in the wilderness.

3. The Beastmaster uses a Beast Whistle to summon and command a Beast Partner to fight, gather, or mine. The Beast Partner can be changed in the territory.

Notes

1. Availability: The class system will be available in all non-novice scenarios, excluding Once Human: RaidZone.

2. You can choose your class in the wilderness after creating a new character on a server and completing the tutorial tasks.

For existing characters who are at least Lv. 2 before the maintenance, we will issue a unique item that allows you to change your class immediately.

3. If you cannot decide on a class or prefer not to use the class system, you can choose the Freelancer class. The Freelancer class has no unique abilities, but will be given a class-change item.

4. We will regularly refine and balance the class system based on your feedback, as well as add more classes. When that happens, we will issue class-change items to allow you to reselect your class.

Monetization Experience Optimizations

A new furniture item, the Fashion Mannequin, is now available. Meta-Humans can purchase its blueprint from Weber at Deadsville. Go to Build Menu → Facilities → Function to build it. You can place outfits you already own onto the mannequin and display them in your territory.

Construction

1. Optimized alignment accuracy when placing complete house blueprints in your territory.

You can now snap house blueprints to the grid during placement.

If a structure appears in red, it means part of it overlaps or intersects. For example, a foundation set too low may cause wall parts to clip into nearby sections. Try adjusting height or rotation and placing again.

Irregular or complex-shaped structures may not align properly with the grid. We recommend saving each standalone structure as a separate blueprint.

2. Optimized the interface to accidental full-resource conversions in the Transit Storage.

3. Added structure upgrade and downgrade options using the G key in Construction Mode. After entering this mode, you can quickly upgrade or downgrade targeted panels. A confirmation prompt will appear before downgrading to avoid mistakes.

Social Feature Optimized

1. Streamlined the Whisper creation process. You no longer need to enter a title or tags. For high-quality Whispers, the system will automatically generate them using AI.

2. You can now comment on and reply to Whispers. Support the ones you like with warm messages. If you don't want others to comment or reply, go to Settings → Game Settings → Gameplay → Whispers (scroll to the bottom) to adjust who can interact with your messages.

3. The Discover tab on the Whispers interface now includes Trending and Nearby sections for easier access to popular messages.

4. In the My tab, you can now view all your likes, saves, comments, views, and messages you've posted.

5. The Notifications tab has been updated. You'll now get alerts when your Whispers receive likes, comments, or saves. To turn off notifications, go to Settings → Game Settings → Gameplay → Whispers (scroll to the bottom). We'll also regularly review Whisper content and reward high-quality contributors. Whether it's guides, tips, or personal sharing, all are welcome. Keep an eye out for upcoming community events!
