Adam Snellgrove 1451 Posted February 4, 2021 Hey there Ylanders! Some of you might have noticed some cool new stuff arriving in Ylands this Tuesday and you'd be absolutely right! The Goodie Pack #3 is out and it is full of cool new assets to play around with. First of we have the inclusion of a new culture in Ylands, the Inuits. These descendants of the Thule people inhabit the Arctic regions of Greenland, Canada and Alaska and are experts of living in the most dangerous and life-threatening environments. They have a rich and old culture and while we did our best to emulate it, we in no way claim to be absolute experts ? But we have added some Inuit clothes attire, that will be of great help to Arctic explorers planning on making their base in the land of ice ? There are also a few Inuit idols, that you can use to decorate your arctic home and give homage to the people of the Great White North. But there is more to aid your expedition, including the newly added expedition gear, knitted cap and research equipment. You can also use new Plastic pillar blocks and add a Metal door to the mix to complete the Expedition Research Station. Beware though, because new dangers will inhabit the snowy biomes too, including a number of new animals. We have the fearsome Wolverine and dangerous Snow Tiger to contend with, while you'll also be able to come upon the Reindeer (if it flies, please call Santa but also send us logs ?). These should make the colder biomes a bit more diverse ? In the Editor, you can also youse the mighty Jötunn straight from Norse mythology and in update 1.6 they will be making appearances in Exploration as well in new Random Encounters, so watch out ? And finally something more for the Eastern biome the beautiful Junk Ship, which we talked about at length last week. It is a cheap option to get your Exploring underway and to blend into the Eastern biomes well. But for even the earlier early game or for just short trips on a map we have also added the trusty kayak, which should fill the space between a raft and a small boat. There were also a slew of bug fixes, which should make life in Experimental Exploration a little bit easier ? So check out the changelog to find out more about these and as always if you find a bug, please let us know and if you have any feedback, please let us know since we are still actively gathering issues from the new Exploration and taking them on board to make the experience as good as possible ? And so until next time, stay classy Ylanders. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deadeye_Rob 908 Posted February 4, 2021 Amazing work guys! Building a small colony in the polar regions is my favourite survival element of the game. It’s great to see some attention toward it. The Kayak however, is a very welcome surprise indeed! I’m looking forward to trying it out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
