Across the ocean is a city known for being "The Capital of the World". There is where you'll get closer towards your ultimate destiny. You can now travel to this place with your ship and meet the ones who make the decisions that matter.. at least for those living in the city.

Anyone attempting to simply walk up to it is never heard from again. They tell of someone named Gina who frequents the area just outside Cobalt City, and survives. You'll need to prepare before you try it yourself, maybe she'll let you borrow her gun.
The Barrier Forest gets its name by being the only thing between them and the armies of creatures. Deep inside is a mysterious installation casting shadows with its bright lights. Is this the way in?
Apart from the continuation of Story Mode, there's a bunch of new blocks and parts for you to build a more proper house with. These include things like wall material, framed windows, indoor lighting, furniture, and more. Check out the housing district of the city if you'd like to get some ideas.

Some major gameplay adjustments are made with this update. First, you can now choose what sort of wanderer decides to move in during Explore or Multiplayer modes by placing specific patterns in living spaces. The new Fighter, Gatherer, Crafter and Trader patterns let you define these roles. Now you can plan out parts of your settlement in advance, put the fighters where you want to keep the monsters at bay or build a central hub for all the craftspeople. The knowledge system was modified to exclude cosmetics, decorations and other similar items. These were moved to the new designs that you can learn by finding them as loot. It works just like the existing recipes, and all the new fashion items and decorations can be learned there. As a consequence, the knowledge progress of each world was reset, but your characters will remember everything they had learned so you won't actually lose anything. The enemy encounter system has also been reworked to provide the same endless swarm of creatures to fight, but at your own pace. The details are in the changelog below but in general if you don't explore or wander then you won't be constantly found by stray enemies. You'll also find slightly less enemies out there in most areas. This will give you time to gather material, have lunch, or whatever you need before you head off into the next fight. This update introduces official Steam Deck support, includes a default control scheme and the ability to play through it without extra configuration, but feel free to edit the controls to your liking, there are many options with the Steam Deck! Its able to run LandTraveller smoothly for a great old-fashioned gaming experience.
