Summary
New Content & Missions
Version 1.0.4 introduces two new sub-missions: "Beyond Dimensions," obtainable at Fisherman’s Point, and its follow-up, "From the Far Side of the Moon."
Gameplay & AI Refinements
Significant improvements have been made to Pal AI, which now prioritizes high-damage skills and handles charging mechanics more effectively. Base building has been streamlined; materials from canceled construction now return directly to the player's inventory, and players are now immune to catching fire from their own campfires.
Technical & Quality of Life
Fishing has been rebalanced in the Sunreach and World Tree areas with new UI guides and world settings. The update also includes a massive sweep of bug fixes addressing crashes, progression blockers in the Main Mission, and various multiplayer synchronization issues.
