addedWorld Event: Introduction of the Bear Boss. - Appears only in Normal Mode; the Bear Boss will not appear in Easy Mode. - When there are fewer than 3 players in the game, the Bear's attack damage is reduced to half its actual value (12.5). When there are 3 or more players, the Bear deals its standard damage of 25 per attack. - The World Event will trigger under the following conditions: 15 minutes have passed since the game began in the Redwood Forest biome; two trains are currently active; and the game is not taking place in the starting Snowy Plains or the Volcanic Zone. Currently, the only World Event is the Bear; however, other events—such as Acid Rain and Rockfalls—will be gradually introduced in the future, with the aim of providing unique World Events for each specific biome. - Defeating the Bear yields substantial rewards. The Bear will retreat under the following conditions: it has damaged more than 5 structures, or its health has been completely depleted. - Once the Bear has retreated—or if the aforementioned spawn conditions are not met—a 40-minute cooldown period will begin before the next World Event can occur.
addedNew Item Added (Tier 3 Technology): Refined Fishing Rod. This item offers an increased probability of catching rare or large fish and features significantly higher durability for fishing.
fixedFixed a bug in the Large Smelter where residual fragments would continue to burn abnormally even when the stack size in a single inventory slot dropped below 10.
fixedFixed an issue where players were unable to claim Oxygen Coins due to the presence of excess empty slots in their inventory.
