Update Delay Announcement

Statement on the Delay of the New Creature Update

Dear Adventurers,

The new creature Leptictidium, originally scheduled for release this week, has had its update process disrupted due to unexpected issues during platform validation. We are still investigating the problem and cannot confirm an exact recovery time at this moment. As a result, this update will be postponed.

We sincerely apologize for the additional waiting time. We will closely monitor the progress of troubleshooting, push forward the update as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding and patience, adventurers.

The following content is only an update preview and has NOT been released publicly. We will publish the update on Steam immediately once the platform validation issue is resolved.

New Creature in Terracrypt: Leptictidium

The brand-new 8-star amphibious omnivore Leptictidium is arriving in the Terracrypt. Boasting exceptional leaping ability, amphibious mobility, and unique combat and resource management capabilities, it will bring more tactical options for your underground exploration.

Spawn Location: Frigid Snowfields, a surface biome in Terracrypt Taming Method: Knock it out and feed it to tame. It consumes both meat and berries.

Creature Abilities

• Meteor Crash: Charge a jump, then right-click while airborne to plummet downward and slam into the ground. Targets hit will be inflicted with Slow and Bleed effects.
• Tidal Tail Sweep: Right-click while in water to make the Leptictidium Beast spin and unleash a tail swipe attack, briefly Slow all targets hit.
• Bubble Barrier: The Leptictidium Beast absorbs water energy while fully submerged. After exiting water, press C to consume part of the stored energy and conjure a bubble shield. The shield blocks one incoming attack before bursting and dealing splash damage to surrounding targets. While the shield is active, press C again to hurl it forward as a ranged attack against distant targets.

Creature Traits

1. Jump Abilities: Charged Jump Perform a charged leap (hold Spacebar, then release). You can charge and jump from a standstill, or while sprinting. Aquatic Leap: While in water, perform a charged jump to burst straight out of the water.
2. Advantage Against Aquatic & Insect Creatures
3. Takes 50% less damage from aquatic and insect creatures.
4. Deals 50% more damage to aquatic and insect creatures.
5. Restores 2.5% of its maximum Health for each small aquatic creature or insect it kills. Eligible targets include Piranhas, Coelacanths, Jellyfish, U-Variant Oil Slimes, and all insect-type creatures.
6. Amphibious Mobility The Leptictidium Beast has high swimming speed and faster Stamina regeneration while in water. Combined with its charged jump ability, it can traverse seamlessly between land and water, making exploration across different terrains more efficient.
7. Resource Weight Reduction The carry weight of the following resources is reduced by 50% when stored on the Leptictidium Beast:
8. Iron Ore, Iron Ingot

Bug Fixes

PixArk / Skypiea / Terracrypt

• Continued optimizations for client and server crashes, as well as general performance improvements to enhance overall stability.
• Fixed incorrect damage values for the U-Variant Ice Sprite's C-key ability Ice Orb . (Previously, the creature's melee damage multiplier applied twice to the Ice Orb's final damage; this has been corrected to apply once, and the Ice Orb's base damage has been increased by 50%.)
• Fixed an issue where pressing the K key would automatically place natural blocks while they are held in hand.
• Fixed an issue where players outside the owning tribe could interact with Bio Lab doors.
• Fixed an issue preventing players from joining servers running custom mod maps.

Game Optimizations

Terracrypt

• Adjusted the flee logic of the Elite U-Variant Minotaur: the flee response now triggers only when the target is 10 meters above the creature (increased from 7 meters), and will not activate when the creature's Health is critically low.
