Release date	Update	Changes
October 31, 2026	v2026.10.31	Bulk use for special items and modules. (TheCarriedOne) Use several Fairy Rings, Golden Lariats or Genesis Eggs at once from the Special window, or install several XenoServer modules into a Relay bay up to its free slots.
September 16, 2026	v2026.09.16	Broadcast history and “Show Old Broadcasts”. (TheCarriedOne) Broadcasts (boss fights, ascensions, relay milestones, special finds, menagerie and museum completions) are stored in chat history again. There’s a new setting under Gameplay → Show Broadcasts called “Show Old Broadcasts“. That setting is off by default so chat won’t open filled with older broadcasts; turn it on if you want broadcasts from before you loaded the game to stay visible after a reload or reconnect.
September 8, 2026	v2026.09.08	Announcements behavior. (Wewert) Progression and boss announcements show live but won’t stick in chat after you reconnect or reload. Repeated ascension, Museum collection, and Menagerie milestone announcements replace the latest matching entry while you remain connected. Discord keeps only the latest announcement in each ephemeral category: ascensions, collection milestones, rare and special finds, solo Ball Pit rolls, and each shared Ball Pit pool warning. Relay and boss event announcements still go to the Discord Events channel unchanged.
July 11, 2026	v2026.07.11.2	Facilities leaderboards and profile panel. (TheCarriedOne) New Facilities entry under the Players tab on the Leaderboard for Farms, Stables and Cooling, Mint, or Refinery modules. There’s an Extras switch (on by default) that lets you include or exclude bonus facilities/modules (extra farm plots, extra stables, and free relay module slots from XenoServer). Turn it off to count only the ones you paid for. You can flip a Cost switch to show how much was paid to build those (base cost only; extras are free). Boards only list players who own more than one of the selected facility/module. Your player profile now has a Facilities section that lists the current counts you own for Farms, Stables, Cooling, Mint, and Refinery modules. Each row jumps to that facility’s leaderboard.
July 8, 2026	v2026.07.08	Custom item categories. (TheCarriedOne) Create your own item categories: give them a name, emoji, set items and order. Pinned items become the reserved “Pinned” category. You may or may not continue using it. Reorder and hide any Items section (built-in ones too). Museum, Specials, and My Listings are now reorderable and sortable too. Sidebar quick-items: pick which categories appear there. Search now filters inside the categorized view (it no longer drops you to a flat list), auto-expands any collapsed sections the search matches, and has a clear button. Duplicate Relay Network section is now removed. Specials can be added to any category, any position. Pick a specific special (e.g. Calibrated Amplifier for Fish) or use (Any) to add all variants at once. The old per-device “pinned specials” list is replaced by category membership, so you’ll need to re-add any specials you had pinned.
June 14, 2026	v2026.06.14	Toasts now render Discord emojis correctly. (TheCarriedOne) Rare item and special item found toast notifications now show the item/special emoji instead of raw <:name:id> text. Much prettier!
May 5, 2026	v2026.05.05	Specials management UX overhaul. (TheDepartedOne) The Use button for Calibrated Amplifiers (and similar Specials) now respects the real server cooldown – it stays disabled for the full cooldown even after the boost effect ends, so what you see matches what the server enforces. Countdowns and “Expires in…” labels now respect clock skew between your client and the server, so timers won’t jump or disagree if your clock is a bit off. Inventory grouping: in the Specials section you can toggle Group (defaults on). When grouped, multiple variants of the same Special collapse into one row showing total count and the nearest expiry. Click the “N types” / secondary button to view all variants. Type-group modal: clicking a grouped row (or using certain text commands) opens a modal showing every variant of that Special type so you can pick which exact copy to use. New text command: you can now use Specials by type name with /special/use <type> [action]. Examples: If you call /special/use with no args you get a clickable list in chat that fills your chat box when clicked – handy! Arbitrary Amplifier picker now disables action buttons when that action already has the server-side max active boosts, and shows a countdown to the nearest expiry so you know when you can add another.
May 10, 2025	Game Update (05-10-2025)	Specials that share common properties now stack on the interface You can still view individual Specials owned by clicking on the stack Specials can now be pinned like Items for quick access This does not currently sync between clients due to technical limitations A personal notification is now always shown when a Rare Item or Special is found
