All changes

Version 0.31.0

Breaks compatibility

The 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 changes

Personal 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.

What 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.

The 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.

Rifts

  • 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.

The 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.
