Eldergrove Has Changed

When the first explorers stepped into the Abyss, we realized one thing - the starting world wasn't living up to the mystery waiting below. So we rebuilt it.

Eldergrove 0.3 is no longer empty land. It now has three distinct regions, each with its own soul:

Arvalen Grove: Where the ancient Sacred Tree Arvalen has stood through a thousand years of war. Wild boars, rabbits, and rare creatures few have ever found.
Blueveil: A strange blue land where wolves, sheep, and wild horses roam together. No one knows why the grass and trees grow this color…
Grassland: Where the journey begins. More familiar. But no longer as empty as before.
Along with unique Slimes native to each region.

New Content & Adjustments

Iron can now be mined directly in Eldergrove and the caves beneath the Abyss.
Horses now have a saddle after being successfully tamed.
New designs for the Diamond Sword and other high-tier weapons.
Map layout streamlined for a more consistent and enjoyable exploration experience.
Saddles added for select herbivore Dinosaurs.
New creature for Eldergrove: Wild Boar.

Upgraded animal animations, riding feels better than ever.
