Hytale Update 3 – Now Playable in Release Version

The full release of Hytale Update 3 brings a comprehensive overhaul to the game’s core systems – changes that were first introduced during the pre-release phases and are now officially part of the live version. Hytale Update 3 transforms how you explore, fight, and survive. In this Nitrado article, we break down the major features to ensure your server is prepared for these new mechanics.

World Generation V2 & Exploration

The landscape of Hytale has changed. The new Worldgen V2 system generates terrain with organic variety, creating deeper valleys and complex biomes that feel more alive. To support your adventures, ore veins have been increased significantly throughout the world. This makes mining far more lucrative, ensuring you have the materials needed to upgrade your gear without excessive grinding.

Navigating these vast new lands is also easier with updated map tools:

• Map Markers: Place markers to highlight key locations.
• Team Coordination: Share markers in multiplayer to guide your team.
• Compass Integration: Navigation points appear directly on your compass for efficiency.

Taming and Mounts

The wilderness is full of potential allies. Hytale Update 3 introduces an early basic version of the taming system. While the feature is still evolving, you can now begin to interact with the wildlife in meaningful ways:

• Basic Taming: A foundational taming system is now live, allowing you to recruit creatures.
• Mounts: Ride Horses and Camels to traverse the map at speed.
• Utilization: Use your tamed for resource production needed for food and crafting.

Combat & Movement Refinements

Survival requires precision. Damage output has been fixed, meaning higher-tier weapons now correctly apply more damage. This ensures that crafting better gear feels rewarding. Additionally, Burn Damage has been reduced to prevent unfair deaths during heated battles.

Movement fluidity complements these combat changes with updated climbing mechanics that offer greater control:

• Side-Stepping: Shimmy along ledges to reach new areas.
• Rope Rotation: Rotate around ropes to face the right direction before jumping.
• Dropping Down: Perform controlled descents to navigate vertical terrain safely.

Farming & Early Game Progression

Getting started is faster than ever. The update removes crafting timers for crude items, allowing you to create basic tools instantly and establish your first base without delay. Once settled, you can turn to agriculture with improved mechanics:

• The Sickle: Harvest crops effectively with this new tool.
• Natural Growth: Tweaked grass spreading mechanics make your environment look more organic.
• Multi-Crop Harvesting: Gather resources quickly to focus on building.

Customization & Technical Tools

Beyond the core gameplay changes, this update brings a wealth of improvements to customization and technical performance. Player identity gets a massive boost with expanded character customization options. To help you manage your different looks, new Avatar Presets have been introduced. You can now edit, save, and swap between up to 10 unique styles, ensuring your hero always fits the mood of the adventure.

Behind the scenes, the update delivers a massive list of bug fixes and general stability improvements. For creators and server owners, updated in-game tools and modding resources empower you to build even more complex experiences. This includes the new Anchor UI system for designing custom user interfaces on modded servers. Furthermore, server performance has been optimized to handle the heavy load of Worldgen V2, ensuring a smooth experience for your community.

Your Story in Orbis Redefined

Hytale Update 3 provides the foundation, but the experience is defined by you. The wilds of Orbis have never been this alive or this dangerous. With the sweep of a sickle, the trust of a companion, and the thrill of a new horizon, it offers the perfect canvas for your creativity. From customizing your avatar’s look to designing unique server interfaces for your community, the power is in your hands. Gather your allies, set your spawn point, and prepare for a journey unlike any other.
