Hytale Update 8 Part 2 (Pre-Release): World Seeds, 10-Minute Breaches, Warmer Zone 2 Blocks and More

Hi! I’m KeniPoyo, the only person in Japan playing Hytale. Update 8 Part 2 hit the Pre-Release on October 29, exactly one week after Part 1. Weekly updates, love to see it.

It’s mostly fixes and polish again, but a few changes affect how you play: you can now set a world seed, and Goblin Breaches stick around longer.

Big thanks to community contributor NoctuaAstrum, who helped with fixes, features and polish again this time.

Quick summary

World seeds

When creating a new world you can now type in a seed. Same seed, same terrain, so you can share a great world with friends or rebuild one you liked.

• Leave it empty for a random seed, just like before
• A world’s seed can’t be changed after it’s created
• The World Settings screen shows the seed of existing worlds

Goblin Breaches last longer

• Breaches nobody has entered yet now stay for 10 minutes instead of 5
• They open on the surface more reliably instead of inside terrain
• Boss health bars no longer follow you into other worlds
• The map’s world event list is wider so long names and timers fit
• Revenant Guardians wielding two swords now raise their guard to block
• The Gobliterator’s cannon texture was fixed

Zone 2 blocks reworked

Many Zone 2 blocks were unified and given a warmer palette:

SandstoneRed SandstoneWhite SandstoneSandRed SandWhite SandRed Clay

• Sandstone, Red Sandstone and White Sandstone
• Sand, Red Sand and White Sand, plus their sand gravels
• Red Clay, Dry Dirt and Dry Grass
• Zone 2 clays now blend into surrounding blocks, and many missing transitions were added
• Stone rocks across Orbis are more consistent, with some larger ones in places

Full mushroom trunks

All 7 mushroom trunk colors now have full block versions, with improved textures. Mushroom house builders, this one’s for you.

World and creatures

• Birch trees in the Seedling Woods grow richer foliage
• Deeproot caves now connect to the rest of the Seedling Woods caves, and bedrock now generates at the bottom
• The Kweebec near the Goblins in the Forgotten Temple keeps cowering until they stop throwing things
• Saddles sit better on Camels and Rams
• Creatures are no longer force-evicted due to overcrowding
• The Spyglass has a new model and icon, and you now raise it to your eye
• Rail Carts now show an interaction prompt

Workbench and UI

• Craftable items in the workbench now show their durability
• Searches with no matches show “No results” instead of a blank panel
• Fixed the workbench showing details for the wrong item after a search, and a crash from Craft All with no results
• The respawn point window shows how many respawn points you can keep, and its text no longer gets cut off
• Health and mana bars got new designs

Respawn fixes

• Dying no longer sends you to world spawn when your bed is in an unloaded area
• Dying in an instance no longer leaves you stuck dead when returned to an unloaded world like the Forgotten Temple

Performance and stability

• Terrain fills in faster, most noticeable on PCs with fewer CPU cores
• Ground closest to you rebuilds first after a change, and empty sections are skipped to save memory
• Worlds write much less to disk when saving
• Fixed servers running out of memory when flying through new terrain
• Weapon trails now follow the swing as a smooth curve
• Fixed thin lines on cosmetics like the Goblin Costume Hood, Bat Mask and Vampire Cape
• On macOS, Hytale no longer grabs your mouse when you’re working in another app

For modders and server owners

• Two new regions, Badlands and Fens, each with four biomes. Only reachable with the instances command for now
• The prefab editor has no height limit, and OBJ imports go up to 300 blocks
• The Spyglass item file and Orbis faction prefab folders moved, so check your references
• Servers now stop with a clear message naming the mods involved when asset pack load order fails
