A launch-week balance pass made Pilums cheaper and faster to craft, lowering the barrier to keeping a stack on hand for boss fights.

The Autumn Update (0.26.1, August 31, 2026) added new weapons as rewards from the bigger unique dungeons, which the studio described as a handful of new options for the weapon loadout and a deliberate break from the trinkets earlier unique dungeons handed out. The patch notes do not name them, so they are not listed above; this page only lists weapons confirmed by name. Because the new dungeons are only generated in worlds created after the update, these rewards are not available in older worlds. The same update fixed some broken weapon abilities.
Pickaxes and Lumber Axes can hit enemies with reduced damage scaled by the matching skill. Throwing heavy resources (rocks, lumber) at enemies also deals damage and scales with the Throwing skill. See Tools and Resource Management.
Combat: combat styles and damage types.
Modifiers: permanent stat modifiers that roll on weapons.
Crafting and Progression: the tier ladder.
