Introducing the Beyond the Firewall challenge. The government says it’s for your protection - a digital wall stretching across the net, holding back whatever lurks in the shadows beyond. But firewalls can’t keep out curiosity forever, right? This challenge invites you to imagine a city that has ventured past the digital firewall, tapping into the vast, uncharted chaos beyond the wall. How does your city reflect this breach? Neon-lit streets buzzing with forbidden knowledge? Towers plastered with rogue ideology? Or a city transformed for the best by knowledge we should have had from the beginning.

We've moved the Approved Mods list to a Workshop Collection, making it easier to download all the mods that are approved to be used in the current and future community challenges! Check it out here:

Howdy folks!

If yer itchin’ for a fresh cast and some crisp fall air, Autumnwood Lake is now ready for visitin’! Just swing by Rusty’s Bait n’ Tackle to grab yerself the Autumnwood Fishing License, and you’ll unlock a whole mess o’ goodies.

• Shallows Edge – A peaceful stretch o' shoreline where the water’s shallow, leaves float lazy-like, and ya might spot an owl watchin’ from the trees. Snow-capped mountains stand guard in the distance, lookin’ like a postcard come to life.

• Otter Cove – Tucked away and full o’ charm, this cozy lil’ cove’s got smooth rocks, driftwood galore, and a gentle waterfall tricklin’ down into a pool where, get this, a whole family o’ otters has moved in!

• 8 New Fish Species to discover
  (Yup, 2 more legendary lunkers in the mix - good luck landin’ those beauties!)

Hold onto yer tackle box - we just dropped the first teaser image for the upcoming DLC: Eastern Winds.

This one's shapin' up to be a real beaut. Picture this: cherry blossoms dancin’ on the breeze, bamboo rustlin’ by still shores, and ancient shrines overlookin’ misty coves full of fish so strange you’ll think you’re dreamin’.

Whether you’re castin’ from a lily-covered riverbank or driftin’ through foggy mountain lakes, there’s always somethin’ rare on the line. More on Eastern Winds soon!

Keep yer lines tight and yer thermos full - we’ve got more free updates comin’ over the next few months.

The undead are back, courtesy of the Redaction Commission – that shadowy agency "protecting" us from paranormal creatures by...oops, reanimating them with their glitchy tech! Check out the Coming Soon page and wish list it NOW - and big thanks for your patience and dead-ication!
