← All changesThe client has to be updatedThis release changed the pack, and a client older than it is turned away at the door. Update the pack in the launcher before you next join.
- Every chest, barrel and cart the world made holds your own loot: each player finds their own copy.
- The Safe Zone holds Earth's goods, and the Dark Zone holds the war's: guns, trophies and better finds the deeper you go.
- In the Dark Zone your own copy of a box fills again with time, slower the deeper it stands.
- Every rift is a new world now, and every closed rift goes into the Rift Atlas under the name its crew gives it.
- Update the pack: it now includes Lootr, the mod that keeps each player's loot.
The full list of changes01Personal loot
- A box you have not opened yet looks different from one you have.
- Hit a loot box to take your own copy and leave the box for others. Crouch to break it.
- Explosions do not destroy loot boxes, and hoppers, Create and Carry On do not move them or reach into them.
- A Dark Zone cache is personal too: each of you takes your own copy, and all copies fill again on the layer's wait.
- A rift's chests and a boss's reward chest stay shared.
02What boxes hold
- Safe Zone boxes hold vanilla and Create goods only.
- Dark Zone boxes drop the rotten and the cheap and keep what was made to last: metal, gems, powder, tools, books.
- Each layer adds finds of its own: a grade of guns, its rounds and a trophy.
- Bring a trophy home and make it into a blueprint, then build that grade of guns on your Create factory.
- Gold in loot comes as nuggets, and Nether netherite as scrap.
03The Drift and the Calm
- The Drift fills your own copy of a Dark Zone box again after a wait: a week in Rose, four weeks at the Heart.
- The Drift works for players who have played here a while, and it fills a limited number of boxes a week for each.
- While the Heart is stilled, nothing drifts and every wait stands still.
- The guide's Dark Zone page lists every wait.
04Rifts
- Every time a rift opens, its world is new: other ground and other ruins.
- Close a rift and your crew may name its world with /polis atlas name within a week.
- Anybody can read the Rift Atlas with /polis atlas, and the Discord board shows the latest worlds.
05The server
- The server restarts every day after the backup, with a warning in chat first.
- The Discord board shows each week how much coin was minted and destroyed, and how many boxes the Drift filled again.
