Tinkerlands v0.1.5.0Jun 13, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsHello everybody! We are back with another update, this one is the biggest we've made so far, and will be the last update to include new content until v0.2.0.0. We'll continue to release updates with bugfixes during this time so don't worry about that! Tinkerlands v0.1.5.0 includes more than 100 different changes, including a new NPC, new items, new accesory combinations and much more. But It's about time that we shift our focus on v0.2.0.0 which will include one new major feature that we very excited to share. And talking about that...Where's the Roadmap?We are late on releasing the roadmap, we are aware and we are sorry about that 🙏. We put all our efforts during these 3 weeks since the game launched into fixing all the major bugs and polishing it as much as we could to make it as stable as possible. Now that we are in a much better place, we've been working on our roadmap, that will be published next week. But just as a little sneak peek, modding support is coming soon(ish).Tinkerlands v0.1.5.0ADDED- Added new NPC , she will spawn randomly in different islands.- Save files are now compressed reducing save file sizes by 10x at the cost of slightly increasing save and loading times.- Now merchants get new items throughout the game.- Added new items to Electrician's shop.- The Blacksmith now gets more items while progressing through the game.- The Merchant now gets more items while progressing through the game.- The Miner now gets more items while progressing through the game.- The Nurse now gets more items while progressing through the game.- Torches can now be flipped when placing them.- Mannequins can now be flipped when placing them.- Added teleport waypoints to the caves.- Added teleport waypoints to random islands.- Added new Hardwood furniture.- Added new Tundra/Ice furniture.- Added "Monsoon Island" unlocked after unlocking Ghostlands.- Added "Lucky Jungle Island" unlocked after unlocking Ghostlands.- Added "Tribes Island" unlocked after unlocking Ghostlands.- Using recipes now has animation and sound effects.- Added hook target interactable.- Deep Sea King altar now has a guaranteed teleport waypoint.- Added accessory.- Added new accessory combinations.- Bombs can now be crafted.- Dynamite can now be crafted.- Character's name can now be modified after creation.- Island's name can now be modified after creation.- Island's difficulty can now be modified after creation.- Added new vase interactables to different biomes.- Added recipe to craft Coral lamp.- Added recipe to craft Turtle bench.- Added recipe to craft Jungle torch.- Added recipes to craft Merman floors and walls.- Added recipes to craft Merman furniture (wardrobe, bed, table, big table, stool, door and bench).- Overgrown Crab can now drop .CHANGES- Cooking minigame bar now goes back and forth until button is pressed again.- Low-Specs mode now includes lighting.- Shop GUI now shows the price for the whole stack when selling.- Shop GUI now allows players to buy back items they've ...Tinkerlands v0.1.4.0Jun 2, 2025 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666338/f5d13b14e6ce6d1fb92668f24dd3f98ce067497a.png Hello everybody! We’re back once again with a new update, addressing some of the most common bugs reported so far. It looks like our save corruption system had a few holes — which should now be fixed. This time, our major focus has been on fixing as many bugs as possible. We've also addressed some balance issues and quality-of-life requests. We'll keep working on these updates until all bugs are resolved and the game's balance reaches a state we're happy with. Meanwhile, the rest of the team is already working on future content. And speaking of future content — we’ve been getting questions about it non-stop lately, and yes, we will be publishing a roadmap for the Early Access content very soon. Spoiler: Mod support is included in the roadmap. Thank you once again for your support and understanding. We’re a small team with only one programmer, and we can’t fix everything as fast as we’d like to. 🙏 Enemy spawn rates under our radar We've noticed a couple of bugs regarding enemy spawn rates, and by fixing them the enemy spawn rate got too low. We've been tweaking the numbers to make them fair and consistent to players, but It may need further tweaking in the next update. Please share with us how you feel about the enemy spawn rates! One of these bugs was dividing the enemy spawn timer by two every time the player changed a "chunk", which is something that occurs very frequently when moving around. This meant that enemies would spawn much faster than intended, and that items that modify the enemy spawn rates (talisman, swarm potion, etc) wouldn't work properly, or at all. Tinkerlands v0.1.4.0 - You can now switch between Windowed, Fullscreen, and Borderless Fullscreen modes. - You can now switch between game-level and OS-level mouse input. - The player now slides off object edges. - Updated English/Spanish localization for "The Nurse" / "La enfermera". - Buffed the items "Sanctification" and "Soul Reaper." - Reduced the mining power required to break Desert Bones. - Blood Slimes and Blood Biome interactables now provide Blood Essence. - Increased the spawn rate of Peridot in the Jungle. - Spider walls can now be mined with the Omnitool. - Items can no longer be reforged back to quality. - Items that do not consume MP will no longer receive MP-related affixes when reforged. - Torches placed in the second quickbar slot now emit light. - The Hoe can now be used on dirt. - The Frog Prince Altar now includes a guaranteed teleport point. - Cave entrances now include a guaranteed teleport point. - The teleport cutscene is now faster. - Gamepad cursor now functions correctly when zoom level is increased. - Buffs can now be removed by right-clicking them. - Pumpkin, Goblin, and Trichroma Islands are now less rare. - Increased the lighting radius of torches. - Event end notifications no longer duplicate for each player. - Coral Door can now be broken. - "Curse of the Swamp" notifications ...Tinkerlands v0.1.3.0May 27, 2025 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666338/17760fb7cdf1e2efb4bac49502389ba6003bee3b.png Hello everybody! We are back again with a new update, this time we've been focusing on fixing (or at least reducing) the corrupted save data issues some people are experiencing. There's only so much we can do about it, since If the game is forcefully closed (via alt+f4, disconnection or crash) the save data will be mostly unusable. We now make a check that the save data has been succesfully written, and If it failed during the process, the game will try to load a backup. We've also implemented a backup system for player save files, using the same method mentioned above. We sincerely apology for the issues this might have caused, but we are determined to fix all the issues and bugs, starting with the major ones like this one. We've also heard your feedback about game balance, and this time we come with some quality of life changes, new items, a new NPC and some economy balance. Thank you once again for your support and comprehension, we are a small team with only one programmer and we can't fix everything as fast as we would like to. 🙏 Tinkerlands v0.1.3.0 New NPC: Meet the Healer We hope that this new NPC doesn't catch a cold, better build her a house so she can heal you. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666338/10c1a7264a3bf193d0b2857e82b8514e5bdedc12.gif Jump around! You can now adquire the new and from the Cartographer and Merchant. No more running around without a need. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666338/df6c57cb260bc21569da21b36fc4f84a1ea9f0b4.png Full list of changes - Player saves now feature a backup system, and it should detect corrupted save data automatically and load a backup. - Saving now detects If saving process was interrupted and tries to load a backup If data was corrupted. - Added new NPC, wandering the Tundra biome. - Added as drops from some enemies that permanently increases the amount of dashes. - Added as drops from some enemies that permanently increases player's movement speed. - Added that allows the player to instantly teleport to their ship. - Added that allows the player to instantly teleport to any discovered teleports in the current island. - Map unlocks can only be done while on the Main Island now. - Reduced the amount of silk needed to craft the Mineral Spider summon from 50 to 30. - Added a warning when the game is unable to save files due to the lack of writting permissions granted by the OS. - Life flowers, Mana flowers, Energy fruits and Speed nectar now show a "I can't use this item" when max amount is reached. - Chef quests rewards now provide 1 gold coin. - Fisherman quests rewards now provide 1 gold coin. - Electrician quests rewards now provide 1 gold coin. - Guide's quest now rewards 2 gold coins. - Guide's quest now rewards 5 gold coins. - Fixed a bug where the host's ship would be saved to the clients worlds. - Fixed a bug with arrow trails. - Fixed a bug that would crash the game when using accesories that make enemies drop ammo, while using certa...Tinkerlands v0.1.2.0May 26, 2025 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666338/76f78679be15453b2be6df07bca2f4716aac01e1.png Hello everybody! We've been working non-stop in the last 48h to solve the major issues from all the reports we've received. The biggest issue we've seen is that chinese players cannot play properly using Steam's connection (TCP/IP still works fine) so we've been working on setting up a dedicated server for the Asian region. Apart from that, we've been working on fixing the major crashes (there are quite a few still to fix) so we hope that the game gets a bit more stable with this update. We've also heard your feedback about balance, and we've made some modifications to the game to hopefully make the game more balanced and enjoyable. We are still processing all your reports, tickets, reviews and forum posts (I'm only one person and there are hundreds of them!) and It'll take some time, but we are going to check every single one of them. Thank you once again for your support and comprehension, we are a small team with only one programmer and we can't fix everything as fast as we would like to. 🙏 Dedicated server in Asia region We've received your feedback about the multiplayer issues. Sadly, this issues are related to the Steam servers and there's nothing we can do. We provide an additional connection method via TCP/IP that doesn't have any of the latency or disconnection issues, but we understand that not everybody is savy enough to open ports or join a virtual lan network. You can access this dedicated server by opting-in to the "china-dedicated-server" beta branch, by right clicking the game in your library, going to properties and then to betas. We want everybody to be able to enjoy Tinkerlands multiplayer, so we've been working these past two days in setting up a dedicated server on Asia. This is still a work in progress, and might be buggy as we had little time to work on it, but let us know any issues you might face with it and we'll be working on making it stable as fast as possible. Tinkerlands v0.1.2.0 Saving now locks the game until It's completed We've seen quite a few reports of corrupted save data, because players would crash, disconnect or forcefully close (via alt+f4) the game during an auto-save. To prevent (or reduce) the occurence of this issue we've made saving lock the game until It's completed. We have also added a button to the ingame menu to save the game whenever you want, without the need of exiting the world. We are going to rework the save system so It's transparent to the player, so stay tuned for future updates. Added button to consume all buffs in inventory We will include this into keybindings and on gamepad in the next updates, but for now you can use the B button to consume all the potions and other misc buff you have on your inventory. No more using each item individually! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666338/fee270599e3167516159eadddea650f9f8504fb8.gif Full list of changes - Saving now locks the game until It's completed, to prevent save corruption ...Tinkerlands v0.1.1.0May 24, 2025 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666338/045445d0c5164e1e59735cd6729e7d519d50cbfa.png Hello everybody! First of all, I want to give a huge thanks to all of you for playing our game, and supporting us. It's been overwhelming seeing so many of you having fun and sharing doubts and knowledge about the game. We also received over 500 tickets and we are checking every single one of them, It's gonna take some time but we are going to make sure that they are all processed. We have already collected the most common ones, and we are working towards applying them, starting with this first patch. Tinkerlands v0.1.1.0 Locked mouse to the game's framerate This sounds like a bad change, but we suspect this might be the cause for the silent crashes some people are experiencing. We'll investigate further from here and will find an alternative way to detach the cursor from the game's framerate, but It's better to do something about it while we investigate the issue. If you get a silent crash after updating, please let us know! Fixed an issue that would duplicate the Enemy Director, making it spawn more enemies each time This was an oversight on our end, every time you travel to a different island, the enemy director had a chance to duplicate itself. This meant that enemy spawn rates were increasing every time you travelled. Tuned down aggro from enemies in Jungle and Pumpking islands Some monsters aggro range was excessive, making it look like they are spawning non-stop (which was also related to the bug above this) but It was a matter of enemies following the player forever and from very afar. Increased Stack Sizes We've heard your feedback. Most of the misc and building items stack sizes have been increased to 99 and 999. We also have plans to add bigger containers in the near future. Fullscreen mode is now borderless This was an issue specially for players that have different text input methods, where they would get thrown out of the game while typing. This change should avoid this issue entirely. Balance changes It's still early to make big balance changes, but we've been hearing (and enjoying) your suffering. But in order to make some things less painful, we've added new recipes for better HP/MP potions, aswell as reduced the time it takes for fishes to escape. Also, enemies won't be doing more critical damage to players. Full list of changes - Locked mouse to the game's framerate. - Fixed an issue that would duplicate the Enemy Director, making it spawn more enemies each time. - Tuned down aggro from enemies in Jungle and Pumpking islands. - Increased stack sizes. - Fullscreen mode changed to borderless fullscreen. - Enemies should no longer do crit damage. - Fishes now escape a bit more slowly. - Fixed an issue that could corrupt worlds if auto-save triggered mid travelling. - Fixed Jungle ruins block having their mining power too high. - Added new recipes for HP and MP potion upgrades that don't require fishing. - Made HP and MP potion upgrades available one tier befo...Tinkerlands Opens Its Gates!May 23, 2025 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666338/63f1b9aecf180be1bb821cf922424387878f0d40.png Raise the sails - Tinkerlands is out NOW!

Here’s a glimpse of what we were working on last month: Pirate Items: Counterfeit coins, pirate guns, coin guns, cutlasses, and more themed gear. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666338/2c67cc565340fe71920f0c6edb462c238ace9d3c.gif Biomes and Locations: We've made some final touches to the islands you will travel to in the Early Access version of the game.

It’s time for our monthly development update! November has flown by, and as always, we’re here to share the latest progress on Tinkerlands. This month, our focus was on creating, implementing, and testing exciting new content for both single-player and multiplayer experiences. Here's a look at what we’ve been working on: Enriching islands and biomes We keep working on the new islands and test them extensively. While the initial designs are promising, we realized they could use additional refinement and more content variety. We’re also exploring the idea of dividing these islands into distinct yet thematically connected biomes, creating immersive environments for you to explore. New NPCs and the new quest system Two new characters are joining Tinkerlands: the Carpenter and the Fisherman! And we’ve also added a quest system for NPCs, where they’ll ask you to do various tasks. By helping them, you can earn special rewards or unlock new features. For example, the Fisherman will give you tools to make fishing easier, as well as a special armor set that boosts your fishing skills. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666338/c04ca9884c8ea6f42ce68a665fcdd36a42fa9faf.gif New in-game money We’ve been revisiting the in-game economy to ensure a balanced experience. To achieve this, we’re introducing new coins that will improve progression and resource management. This system is still a work in progress, and we’re experimenting to find the perfect balance. Ship and navigation update We’ve made good progress on the ship and navigation features! You can now find shipwreck ruins on the beach to repair and prepare for upcoming sea journeys! Additionally, we keep improving the navigation system to make exploring the world smoother and more enjoyable. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666338/7a4e9b4bf6cb89e79468143a8fd084b3217cb2a6.gif Cooking system update The cooking system has been further improved to make it easier and more fun! Our goal is to make cooking a more rewarding and helpful part of your adventure. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666338/4c74db41c52e46d8549c222fd9fa291c2c2a9c75.gif Minor additions and improvements - Smooth Water Transitions: Terrain now determines whether transitions between water types are smooth or abrupt (like cliffs), giving your builds a more natural and visually appealing look. - Enemy-Spawning Statues: These statues can now summon enemies when activated, adding a layer of challenge and fun to quests. As you can see, November was packed with new developments, and we’re thrilled to keep building and refining the world of Tinkerlands. Stay tuned for more updates as we bring these features to life, and don’t forget to share your feedback - it helps us shape the game into something truly special. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666338/bf995a40a59bc50fb11b3cf555d3f30b73e5fe39.png Tinkerlands: Steam Next Fest Success & Our Road Ahead!Nov 1, 2024 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44666338/272cde7063632f242f8afa8007c91774cbe0cb38.png Heya, Tinkerlanders!
