Hey Ruins To Fortress players!

After six months in Early Access, were super excited to release our biggest update yet, now available as a public beta! We've dedicated countless hours to rework the system, completely transforming the old hand-placed map into a unique, dynamic world featuring islands with diverse biomes.

What Is a Beta?

A beta is a test version with new features. Your feedback helps us improve the update before it becomes the main version. We really appreciate your help testing a multiplayer game this size takes a lot of time!

How to Join the Beta

Note: Save games are now stored in separate folders and wont be compatible with the old static map version. This beta will run for about one month before becoming the main build.

Map System

• Seed-based worlds: every game generates a unique map unless you enter a custom seed

• Manually choose seed and map size

• More detailed map options unlock after testing

Biomes

New Features

• New tree types

• New monument: Underground bunker

• Destructible NPC bases you can loot

• Grenades are now bouncier

• Player drones and boats now consume fuel

• Drones can move up and down using the jump key (Space)

• Minimap shows other clan members, your bed, last death, biomes, and monuments; areas unlock as you explore

Building System
