- Patch Notes 19-NOV-2025 - 19 November 2025
Server ChangelogChange: Improved the clarity of some messages related to binding and unbinding arrows. You may now also see how many war and/or hunting arrows are in an arrow bundle by examining it.Change: The Place, Push, and Pull actions have been significantly rewritten, with various fixes and quality of life improvements:These actions can now move items across cave entrances, into or out of buildings, and through doors and fence gates that you have permission to open.Anything that would cause these actions to fail, such as permissions or something getting in the way, will cause the action to fail no matter when during the action it would happen. In other words, if using Place to move an item across three tiles, a problem that would prevent it from moving to the third tile will prevent it from wasting time moving at all.When these actions move an item from one tile to another, the it…
