The next patch has been announced by Wildcard and is aimed to be released in the week of April 11. For now, there are already some things that we can look out for; including even more new creatures and the long awaited chemistry table!
Highlights
Some of the highlights of the upcoming patch can be found below with additional information.
New creatures
It looks like Studio Wildcard is on a creature spree, as we are getting two new creatures again! This time it will include the Direbear and the Manta. Both of them have also been covered in our devkit previews (Direbear, Manta), so check those out if you haven’t done so already!
New item
It has been in the devkit for a long time: the alchemy table. It is supposed to be the next tier version of the mortar and pestle, meaning that you won’t have to create tens of mortars to get your gunpowder or narcotics crafted anymore. Hopefully we will see some more use for it, such as potions, or an upcoming use when diseases are introduced in the future.
Breeding update
Again, breeding mechanics 2 is aimed to be included in this patch. We don’t know yet what exact features this will include, but it will probably have to do with mutations!
