Week Seventy Six is here and with it comes a bunch of new home decor options that expand our Carved Wood Decorations set with new furnishings to adorn your base.

We also go deeper into the upcoming features of Galileo such as Fishing, as we move into closed beta testing. Jump in and have a read.



Carved Wood Decorations
We’re adding to our existing home decor options, by adding six new carved wood pieces with a new bed, wardrobe, narrow wardrobe, nightstand, display cabinet and dresser.

These are craftable on the carpentry bench, and most can be found by using the R key to look for variations on the base item.

It’s also been one of our biggest weeks of work on the upcoming Galileo patch, as we’ve made substantial progress on all three key features: Fishing, Achievements and the Bestiary.

Week Seventy Two is here and brings a revamp of our bullet recipes and the introduction of our first explosive bullets.
