Welcome to November 2025, err…December 2025….no wait….February 2026 and the long awaited/delayed Navel Update! Yes, today we finally get boat building and the deep sea! We also get (hopefully) new artist items (canvases, easels and such). So get ready to set sail and let your inner artist shine!
Here are some basics to keep in mind on the navel update side (this list was compiled on Staging Branch a few days ago, so they may be slightly different when live version drops):
- The deep sea area is dynamic. When it spawns, it will last for only 3 hours then it will close down for 1 hour before it reopens (these times are subject to change).
- The layout changes each time and building in it is not allowed.
- You can not fly into the deep sea, you must have a boat. (/rhib would get you one!)
- Boat building requires 4 main items. The boat building station (must be deployed out in the water), the boat building plan, a power source (sail or small boat engine), and a steering wheel.
- Deploy the building station and it will open up an area for you to build.
- Use the boat building plan to laydown your boat’s keel. Add walls, rooms, etc.
- Add a steering wheel, sail or engine, and any other items you want (like an anchor maybe).
- Finish the build at either the wheel or the building station. The building station should be refunded into your inventory.
- Bon voyage! Your off and sailing!
Other changes this month:
- Vanilla Bradleys will no longer spawn at monuments. All Bradleys will be Easy to Nightmare levels now.
- Tugboats will no longer spawn at harbors. However, you can still use /tugboat to get one from Vehicle Licenses.
- We had to switch to a different cooking/smelting plugin as the old one is no longer maintained. Currently, the new one does not support the BBQ in the camper module or the BBQ side of the cooking workbench. We have asked the author to update support for those and hopefully we will see that added soon.
There were also SEVERAL other plugin updates. As always, please report any issues in #admin-help on our Discord.
ALSO: At the time of posting, Convoy and Armored Train updates are not yet available, so those events are currently offline. We will update those as soon as they are released.
