Welcome to the latest Hytale update! We’re excited to share new content along with fixes and improvements to enhance your gaming experience.
World & Environment Changes
We’ve added dinosaurs and new NPCs to the underground jungles, giving them vibrant life. These characters are still in development, so expect some changes. Plus, the Devastated Lands sewers now have atmospheric effects, and volcanic areas receive authentic environmental touches.
If you want to encounter these new NPCs, you’ll need to explore new areas in the game. We’ve also improved textures and placements in Feran villages that now look and feel more polished.
NPCs & Creatures Updates
In this update, NPCs now resist knockback, and certain fire-themed characters are immune to fire damage, although they can still catch fire for now. The combat behavior of the Crystal Earth Golem has also been enhanced, making battles more dynamic.
Additionally, we’ve adjusted a variety of NPC interactions, including livestock that no longer climb onto the Chicken Coop and cautious wildlife that won’t attack players unless provoked.
Crafting and Farming Improvements
Crafting just got easier! The base backpack now requires a Tier 1 Workbench and only 8 Medium Leather to craft. We’ve also streamlined backpack upgrades. Processing times for various hides have been reduced, meaning you can spend less time waiting and more time exploring.
Cooking raw fruits and vegetables now gives better health benefits, and dropped items will no longer get stuck on blocks.
Audio & Visual Enhancements
We’ve added new sound effects for hits and breaks, creating a richer audio experience. For instance, horses now make appropriate sounds when running, and eating fruits produces a special particle effect.
Quality of Life and UI Changes
You can now sleep starting at 7:30 PM, providing a smoother transition into nighttime gameplay. The game offers better warnings for pre-release versions, enhancing your gaming safety.
Additionally, the interaction system has improved to reduce lag issues.
Character Customization Options
New eye types, mouth options, and a vibrant lavender hair color are now available for character creation. Customization helps you express your unique style in the game.
Combat & Balance Adjustments
We’ve refined weapon attack dynamics to ensure they check for line of sight. The regular Burn effect has been slightly modified, and cactus damage has been reclassified for better consistency.
Technical Fixes
Numerous bugs have been addressed. For example, issues with weapon stamina have been fixed, and crop growth mechanics have improved, ensuring a smoother farming experience.
