01 / RETURN TO THE FLAME

Before you set out

Returning after the update? Restore a working character and separate a fixed bug from a different problem.

Skills & progression

Your old skill tree has changed.

The 1.0 reset returns existing characters to a fresh tree. Rebuild a usable weapon loop before spending the rest.

Rebuild your skill tree

Can’t edit your world?

Check the 1.0.0.2 menu fix first. A build-permission issue or server preset calls for a different check.

Find the right check
02 / PACK WITH PURPOSE

Make the next craft

Exact material names, useful unlock checks and six small planners. Spend less time guessing what to bring home.

Goo

Find the Mortar, unlock the recipe and calculate the missing ingredients.

Banshee Gel

Choose a reachable Shroud site and budget the Gel for your equipment.

Gathering guide
03 / FOLLOW THE LANDMARKS

Find a way forward

One door, one objective, one clear next step. Routes distinguish required progression from optional treasure.

04 / SHARE THE JOURNEY

Your world, your company

Keep a shared world accessible, or check the creator’s compatibility notes before changing the game.

Keep the world online

Install a Windows dedicated server, check local and external connections, and separate access from permissions.

Set up your server

Check the mod stack

Match the game, extension, loader and individual mod. An updated loader is only one part of compatibility.

Check mods for 1.0
