Lay of the Land 0.18.0 The Snowy Mountains Update Part 1
🕑 Added 2025-11-06 04:53:59 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
The Snowy Mountains Update Part 1 is here and brings a new biome, new animals, new items, many fixes and various improvements.
I hope you enjoy the update and thank you all so much for the support and I hope you enjoy the game :)
Snowy Mountains Biome
In this frigid biome you'll find tall baren mountains interspersed with pockets of snowy forest. Flows of ice lead down the steep slopes into river valleys. Its snowy conditions prevent most vegetation from calling this region home but a few hardy plants have managed to resist the icy conditions.
New Animals
There are 3 new animals you can find in the Snowy Mountains. The Penguin, Big Horn Sheep and Polar Bear. Penguins spend their days wandering around the forest floor. Big Horn Sheep can be found in the forest or up in the mountains along with Polar Bears. These can be aggressive and love to hunt Penguins.
New Building Materials
With a new type of tree comes a new wood type: Pine Log and Pine Planks. There is also Pine variants of all furniture and other wooden items. You can also gather and place Snow and Ice.
Map
There is now an in game map that can be accessed with a Map item. The Map fills in as you explore and is used for easier navigation. Waypoints can be added to the map by selecting the waypoint option when editing a Sign.
Linux Support
A quick note on Linux support. I am dropping support for a native Linux build. I know this might be disappointing to some but it became too much of a time sink. The game works great with Proton (it actually performs better than the native build) and that is the path I'm going to be taking moving forward for Linux.
