Greetings Creatifriends – R18 is now live!
While R18 doesn’t include any major new features, it does have a bunch of small bugfixes and balance changes, along with several tweaks and minor improvements requested by the community.
As always, the suggestions and ideas from our early access players have been incredibly valuable. We hope the changelist below reflects how seriously we take your feedback!
– The “other” Dave, substituting for Playful David this week (who is off at E3)
New Features and Content
- Time of day, temperature, and biome now display on the UI
- Recipe Tracker!
- Use the “Track” button on the station UI with a recipe selected to track a recipe
- Tracked recipes display an ingredient list on the UI
- To cancel tracking, unlock the cursor (with left-Alt) and close the tracked recipe, or “untrack” the recipe at a crafting station
- Maximum of five tracked recipes at a time
- New “Recipes Don’t Carryover” option (world creation only)
- On by default
- With the option turned off, players will not have to work through the recipe tree again in that world (i.e., recipes are account-bound)

- New random drop recipes!
- World owners can now remove touchstones of other players
- Interact with a touchstone to remove it
- Players whose touchstones have been removed will spawn at the world’s starting location
Improvements
- Simulation adjustments
