Hey there, Ylanders!
As you probably know, our newest update is out! The 1.7 update - Marvelous Mysteries - has now been out for a whole week! We are very excited to hear what you think about this new update, so do let us know!
In case you missed the news, the 1.7 update is packed with cool new features and on top of that many QoL improvements alongside bug fixes.
To point out just a few of these great new features, you can now immerse yourselves in enjoying:
- Mystery Ylands - if you'd like to spice up your exploration life, try looking around Mystery Ylands. These are special locations, which you can access and solve a mystery, be it a puzzle, a dungeon or a different kind of challenge entirely! If you do that, you will be rewarded of course!
- The Exploration Demo - if you're not sure you want to commit to purchasing the Exploration DLC, this is the feature for you. You can try out what it's like to live on an yland, you'll learn how to craft and you can even have other players visit you! The demo is not time limited, you cannot leave the starting yland, so if you'd like to venture beyond the borders of this yland, you will need the DLC (which you can now get directly in-game without having to leave, buy and then come back!)
- Object Brush Tool - if you like playing around in the Editor portion of Ylands, you may have found yourself struggling to make your landscapes nice and full. The Object Brush tool is you best friend then! Use it to span a large amount of objects across your terrain or any other surface in a pattern you choose.
- Crafting Tweaks - when starting out, you now don't need to be overwhelmed by all the recipes that are available to you. Instead, you progress through a crafting tree as you discover the relevant resources. You can also drag non-workstation recipes into the hotbar and craft directly from there! Should make building things much easier, right?
... and many more!
If you'd like to see the developers talk about and show the new features, you should definitely re-watch the recording from our live stream from earlier this week. You'll get to meet Nikki, Naru, Equi, Rudy and Aleš as your hosts! The stream recording is available here:
That's it for this week, so till next time...
Stay classy, Ylanders!
