New Years Countdown Update!
PixARK - SG_Raytings


Greetings, Explorers!

We hope you all had a wonderful year, and look forward to an even greater 2020! The next PixARK update is scheduled to go live at 12:00 am PDT on December 27th. Official Servers will be offline for a few hours.

Update: the patch is delayed to go live at 9:00 am PDT on December 27th.

New Year Countdown
In celebration of the upcoming new year, we are adding a noticeable New Year Countdown Timer in the sky at the center of the map. From any biome in both the PixARK map or the Skyward map, when you look up, you can see the timer counting and when it reaches 2020/01/01 00: 00: 00 (server/local time), all explorers will be treated to a fireworks show NEARBY the timer! (Note: fireworks visuals won't be rendered if the players are too far away from the giant clock.)


New Items
  • Countdown Clock: needs to be powered; players can input the time they want to count down from, and when it counts down to zero, the Trigger will send an activation signal to switch all the electricity-powered devices to “on”. The Countdown Clock engram can be unlocked at level 55, and craftable in the Fabricator.
  • Fireworks Launcher: needs to be powered; players can place Fireworks Bullets inside its inventory, and turn on the switch to automatically shoot the fireworks in the sky; when aiming at the Fireworks Launcher, you can also hold E to select how high you want the fireworks to be fired. The Fireworks Launcher engram can be unlocked at level 55, and craftable in the Fabricator.

Fireworks Drops
Fireworks can be obtained at a higher drop rate from the Supply Beam which will also spawn at a higher rate.

Bug Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where the Cobaltenergy Golem did not show the correct required time for a mutation in the Radiation Mutation Platform.
