Ahoy Pathfinders!
The summer is here and there’s no better way to enjoy the season than spending your time out on the open seas. We have a couple new items, a new region, and some welcome improvements to the game, especially for our XBox players.
We have an “egg”-cellent new structure that will make breeding new tames even easier. The Tame Hatchery is the perfect spot to store your eggs and give them the care that’s needed.
The swivel gun railing is going to add a new dimension to sea battles. These out-facing guns will make combat more precise and change the battlefield forever.
As always, we have a slew of bug fixes and improvements inching us closer to an ideal gaming experience. We will continue to improve and iterate on player’s feedback and suggestions so check out the changes below.

New Content
Tame Hatchery
Egg-laying tames can now be stored at the new Tame Hatchery. Eggs produced by stored tames are sent to the inventory to be fertilized. Fertilized eggs will be incubated and hatched directly into the Tame Hatchery. While food is stored in the inventory, tames will continue to reproduce and generate Nitro Fertilizer, which gives crops a growth boost for a short time.
Tames allowed in the Hatchery:
- Chicken, Crow, Parrot, Vulture, Seagull, Penguin, Ostrich, Spider, Turtle, Crocodile, Razortooth, Shieldhorn, Crab, and Tortugar
After obtaining the Beastmaster 2 skill, the Tame Hatchery will be buildable at a Smithy:
Crafting Resources
- 300 Stone
- 20 Flint
- 90 Keratinoid
- 65 Wood
- 80 Fibers
New Resource type: Toxic Compounds
- Toxic Flora: Harvested from mushrooms in swamp biomes
- Venom: Harvested from Snakes and Scorpions
- Toxic Sludge: Crafted from Nitro Fertilizer
New Ship Railing: Swivel Gun Railing
A new railing that supports two out facing swivel guns has been added. Unlocked from Swivel Gun Skill in the Artillery tree, this railing can be built at the Smithy.
Crafting Resources
- 550 Wood
- 225 Thatch
- 250 Fibers
- 98 Alloy
- 180 Stone
New Region: Uncharted Sea
Uncharted Sea has been reintroduced into the world of Atlas. Tropical Islands here have rare resources for pathfinders to plunder as well as more access to industrial and Army of the Damned nodes. Access to this region is located via portals in the South America and Africa Regions. This region is Lawless.

Misc.
- Durability for the Industrial Hydra Pistol and Industrial have been increased
- Large Stone Walls and gates and their Industrial variants are now limited to 30 per company per server

- Shipyards can no longer be placed unless all ships within the variant can be built
- Ritual Generator and Ritual Pedestal Health has been increased
Xbox Only

Known Issues
- Crash occurs when interacting with the Great Temple’s progression table

- The Hatchery has an issue where the fertilizer barrel can’t be accessed from certain directions
- Treasure Map Bottles picked up in the PVP realm will sometimes not produce a treasure map
- The limit on stone walls / gates is currently 30 per variant per company per grid, instead of 30 total per company per grid. This is being adjusted in next hotfix patch.
- Crew seated on sails will sometimes be seated at a wrong location.
Final Note
Again, we would like to emphasize that ATLAS is still in Early Access, meaning many things can and will likely continue to drastically change - even in the middle of development. Anything discussed is only up to date as of the moment it is posted. Features and changes that ultimately make it to the next patch, as well as timing, may be different from what was previously discussed.
As always, we appreciate the suggestions and feedback from the community. Please keep them coming! Thank you for all of your support! :)
Happy Sailing,
- ATLAS Crew
