The Gardener class has received its most significant optimization to date. Metas specializing in cultivation can now plant freely in the wild, breaking away from the previous restrictions of territory-only farming. This change, coupled with new cultivation mechanics, transforms the Gardener from a passive base-management role into a more dynamic explorer capable of shaping the environment wherever they roam. Whether you're gathering rare Stardust-infected flora or establishing hidden groves, the resource loop feels much more fluid.
Spring Festival and Island Paradise Additions
Running until March 11, the Spring Festival themed event introduces a series of limited-time rewards and activities. Players can look forward to the Spring Festival Blessings accumulation starting February 16 and a special short film premiere on February 17. For those looking to take a break from the grit of survival, Island Paradise has been updated with a 'Hide and Seek' core gameplay mode, adding a much-needed social layer to the private island experience.
This patch also introduces a new Deviation, 'Doctor Raven,' and a highly requested social feature: blueprint sharing and gifting. You can now directly support your hive-mates by providing them with complex structural designs, making base reconstruction significantly faster. For the more technically inclined, Custom Servers now offer granular control over Deviation attributes and loot drop rates, allowing for highly specific PvE or PvP environments.
Beyond the new content, the update includes a fresh Battle Pass and various shop discounts. If you've been waiting for a reason to reinvest in your territory or rethink your class specialization, this patch provides the tools to do it. Keep an eye out for the next scheduled maintenance on February 25.
