Patch Notes 0.16

Hey, Explorers! Coral Bay, a brand-new Tier 4 zone, is now open — packed with T4 resources and fresh challenges. Combat has been reworked for deeper strategy, and new buildings now automate Tier 3 production. Plus, a few extra upgrades will make your gameplay even smoother.

Jump in and explore!

New Location

Hot on the heels of Rusted Shallows, a brand-new Tier 4 zone is ready to explore — welcome to Coral Bay!

Here’s what makes this location special:
— Unique Terrain – With dramatic elevation changes and paths that cut straight through the area, Coral Bay offers a fresh and dynamic exploration experience unlike any other zone so far.
— Resource Shift – Most Relic Alloy and Coral are now found in Coral Bay, but some still remain in Rusted Shallows — visit both to get what you need.
— Wild Voltarian Appears – For the first time ever, Voltarian is available in the wild! If you’ve already unlocked this powerful Amikin from Champion Eggs, you can now catch it using Amidices in Coral Bay.

Get ready to catch, gather, and conquer!

Combat changes

We’re continuing to refine the combat system to bring more tactical depth into your daily adventures. Here's what’s new:

— No More Healing Outside the Base
Combat Amikins can now only be healed at the Nexus Tree in your home base — and healing is significantly faster than before. Their wounds will literally mend before your eyes. This change makes each Amikin’s individual stats truly matter — you'll notice a real difference when you bring a well-upgraded ally into battle!

— Vault Access Now Base-Only
The Armband used to feel pointless when you could swap Amikins freely during any outing. That’s no longer the case: now, you can only access the Amikin Vault at your base. This means you’ll need to plan your squad carefully before heading into the wild. Strategy just got real—your upgraded Amikins are more valuable than ever.

— Balanced Difficulty
To support this new strategic flow, we’ve lowered the difficulty across all locations. This gives every Amikin on your team a chance to shine and lets you feel the true impact of their skills and upgrades like never before.

We know these changes might take a bit of getting used to, but they open the door to a deeper, more thoughtful combat experience. It’s also a great opportunity to rediscover your favorite Amikins—now that their training and growth really matter in every battle.

Tier 3 Base Production

You’ve been waiting, explorers — and it’s finally time to automate Tier 3 resource gathering with brand-new production buildings:

— Chromite Mine – Found in the western part of your home base, this structure becomes available to build at level 34.
— Basaltite Quarry – Located in the north of your home base, unlocks for construction at level 33.
— Polymer Lab – Set in the southeast area of your base, ready to build starting from level 32.
— Cactus Farm – Available directly from the build menu once you reach level 31.

Time to supercharge your base with high-tier automation!

Extra Improvements

— Expanded Squad Size — The max number of beds has increased from 10 to 15, so you can recruit even more Amikins to your team!
— Faster Resource Gathering — All resource-generating buildings now produce materials significantly faster — less waiting, more doing!
— Crafting Boosts Included — Upgrading a crafting station now also speeds up production of lower-tier items (excluding gear), making your workflow more efficient than ever.
