Oortmas is Here!

Oortmas is Here!

Special Event

17th December 2020

It’s beginning to look a lot like Oortmas! To celebrate the holidays, Boundless is getting festive for two weeks. Running from the 17th-31st December, wintry snow will be seen throughout the Known Worlds, and many Creatures will be seen sporting little Oortmas Hats. These will drop Green Candy Canes, used to craft some festive decorative props. Red Candy Canes are gained through special Snowball Meteorite events, and are used to craft yet more seasonal decorations to deck the halls of your Beacons! This year, we’ve introduced two Oortmas table centrepieces - a Roast Spitter for you meat-eaters, and an Earthyam platter for the vegetarians amongst us. Of course, we’ve got a whole host of new goodies coming to the Exchange for a limited time only, with the Snowglobe and Guiding Star Wearables, joined by the new Snowflakes Body Paint. These will be accompanied by all our previous Oortmas offerings for the length of the event. With the Oortmas Oorty, Candy Totem crop, and all new content, there’s a whole lot to see and do at Oortmas, so get out there and spread some festive cheer!

Snowball Meteorites - How to Play

Snowball Meteorites - How to Play

Special Event

17th December 2020

For the duration of the winter event, special Snowball Fight Meteorite events will occur on Starter Worlds. Rather than a regular strike, a meteorologically-unlikely but festively pleasing giant Snowball will crash to the surface of the World bringing with it a whole host of special Snow Spitters, which will launch their chilly projectiles at Citizens, and are impervious to regular Weapons. Time to fight snow with snow! Gather enough Ice from the impact zone to Handcraft a Bag of Snowballs, and give the icy critters everything you've got! These will do direct damage to one target, and are only effective against Snow Spitters. There will also be no Defeat Penalty on these events, with Players instead building up ‘embarrassment’ from being hit, before heading to the sanctum having lost their ‘Meteorite Life’. The rewards for this event include Red Candy Canes, as well as Food, Brews and Gifts. Poorly behaved Citizens may end up with Coal.

How to Race Gleambows

How to Race Gleambows

Special Event

6th May 2020

On Rugged and Inhospitable Lush Worlds, all Meteorites are replaced by Gleambow Meteorites. A Gleambow is a unique type of meteorite made from natural Blocks in a variety of colours. They can be identified by their spectacular multicoloured trails. If you're lucky, you may even find a pure Gleam or Glass Gleambow. Fancy! Once a Gleambow touches down, you'll only have a short time before its Blocks adopt the natural colours of the World. Sprint, Grapple, Warp, slide, leap, swim and Buff your way across the landscape before it's too late. You'll need specialised Tools to break your way through those super-tough Gleambow Blocks. A Gleambow Totem will do the trick, so make sure to get hold of one (or more). While you're at it, keep an eye out for some strangely colourful Cuttletrunks, aptly known as Gleamtrunks, who'll try to make life difficult. Don't ignore them! You might find their pickings useful for your next race and more. Tweak your Skills, grab your Gleambow Totem, down a Speed Brew - ready, set, Gleambow!

Gleambow Racing is a limited-time event which rewards speed and skill as Citizens chase down special Gleambow Meteorites made up of colourful natural blocks. Some of these will be in shades never before seen in the Known Worlds! You'll need a special Gleambow Totem to destroy these Blocks - craftable in a Workbench. It’s a great chance to gather completely unique rewards with which to decorate your Build. Prep for your Gleambow adventures with 3 brand new consumables, each bestowing a different Buff with exciting results! There’s even a new Gleambow Augment to summon forth Gleambows from the stars above. Equip, point, shoot, race away! Head to the Knowledge for a full rundown. Once you're done chasing Gleambows, kick back in your Beacon and Craft two new decorative props, just for this event. Don’t forget to head over to the Exchange, where you can pick up a Gleambow wearable or two, including the new Gleambubbler. To the Gleambows!

Beacon Compactness

Beacon Compactness

Release 242

23rd April 2020

The Known Worlds are shared by everyone and only together can we create a thriving civilisation. Beacons are an essential part of creating Settlements and collaborating on builds. To help everyone expand their Beacons in a fair way for all Citizens, we've added a new set of plotting rules to the Beacon system. Now, as your Beacon expands there will be plotting limits to help keep your Beacons collectively compact and reduce excessive Beacon sprawl. A compact Beacon prefers to expand locally rather than meander across the landscape. Settlements can still grow and become large. But the sprawl needs to be proportional to the size. Once Plots are claimed they become unavailable for others, so the system now encourages you to claim Plots closer to home, leaving those further afield for others. We believe this change makes the plotting system fairer for all players and is in the best interest of everyone now and in the future.

Beacon Reclaims

Beacon Reclaims

Release 242

23rd April 2020

This new system ensures that if a beacon ever expires you will no longer lose any of its contents. Now, when a Beacon expires everything, all Blocks, Items, Gear, Machines, Storage, Decorations, Coin and Spark, are automatically gathered into an unlimited cloud storage. You can then Reclaim all items from a new or existing Master Beacon Control. The Reclaim system can also be used to manually expire a beacon to rapidly move everything to another world. But remember it’s only the contents that are transferred and not the design. So you’ll need to rebuild after reclaiming. But remember - you still need to fuel your beacons!

Starting on the 19th December and running to the 2nd January, wintry snow will be seen throughout the Known Worlds, and many Creatures will be seen sporting little Oortmas Hats.

Red Candy Canes are gained through special Snowball Meteorite events, and are used to Craft Snow Citizens. This year, Citizens can also Craft special Twinkles to deck the halls of their Builds! Of course, we've got a whole host of new Wearables coming to the Exchange for a limited time only, with the Oortmas Hat and three designs of Winter Scarf joining last year’s offerings. In addition, a sweet Totem has also been introduced in the form of the Candy Totem, which is grown as a Crop before being used as a Tool. There’s a lot to explore, so get out there and make merry!

How to Race Gleambows

Special Event

28th November 2019

On Level 3 and above worlds, regular Meteorites can be replaced by special Gleambow Meteorites. These will be easily identifiable via their spectacular multicoloured trails, and their rewards can be magnificent! Gleambows will often trigger when you enter the named regions scattered throughout each world. Start racing to where the Gleambow will land as soon as you see it arcing through the sky. Tips - you can move rapidly over the landscape with a long and fast grapple. Taking a Speed Brew will also give you some added oomph! If the racing is too competitive try heading to a quieter world where the Gleambows could last longer. Sourcing a forged Gleambow Totem could be a major advantage. Upon reaching the Meteorite, at least 50% of these blocks must be destroyed within the given time limit, using the special Gleambow Totem. If this is not achieved, all blocks will default to the world's existing colours. The reward for a completed Meteorite will be Rough Oortstone and Gold Ore, as well as the abundance of materials harvested from the Gleambow Meteorite itself. Remember - speed brews are your friend, and now would be a good time to work on your quick traversal skills. Now where's that long-range grapple...

Then use your standard Square and Bevel Chisels to add and remove the arms. These will add a totally new angle to builds of all sizes - some of the more imaginative uses we’ve seen so far include ladders, strip lighting, industrial pipes, and decorative art installations.

Other Players will be unable to claim these without specific Permissions, granted by the new title of 'Surveyor'. This will allow Players to plan their larger Builds as they expand, and will mitigate disputes over bordering Settlements. When multiple Beacons meet and Reserved Plots overlap, the Plots with the oldest claim have authority. For those who wish to disable this (e.g when building roads), the option will be accessible within the Beacon Control menu.

The next level of Farming has arrived! From today, a brand new set of Crops are available. Not only do these new Crops hold great aesthetic appeal, but they'll also provide a Prestige boost to your Builds. Many of these spectacular-looking Crops are Crafted from Drops harvested during regular Farming. The Sentinel's Crest is dropped from Meteorites on Elemental Worlds. Imperial Harlequin, Ancestor's Blade, Ornamental Oortweed, Trailing Starblossom, and Sentinel's Crest can be planted throughout your Beacons (as long as the correct growing conditions are met), just like any other Crop. Prestige Crops will eventually wither and die, removing the extra Prestige they give - So you'll need to keep a good eye on your Crops and replace them regularly to benefit from their Prestige boosts.

The Weapon Augment Buff will give your Guild Member’s Weapon Augments a boost to durability, letting them hunt for longer. For the Miners out there, damage blocks which usually require a shovel - useful for those high-volume digging operations. The Bonus Consumables Buff gives crafters the chance to receive an extra brew or food for free each time they create one. Finally, the Spark and Wear Buff will allow machines to use less power and last longer without repair. Build the relevant helix today to start using your Buffs!

Chrysominter

Chrysominter

Release 220

16th April 2019

Are you burdened by a surplus of resources? Need some quick coin? Place one of these handy contraptions in your beacon to convert those leftovers to cash. The Chrysominter will pay a low basic rate for each item in Boundless. Think of this as a way to make quick money, rather than big money. If you've got way more material than you know what to do with, and can’t get to a store to sell it, then the Chrysominter is what you need.

Prestige Update

Prestige Update

Release 219

10th April 2019

We've made significant changes to the way Prestige is calculated in Boundless. Many items have had their prestige values rebalanced, and the system has been altered to reflect creative building. Colour, Material, Chiselling level and more are now taken into account when calculating Prestige, and natural Blocks like Foliage now give Prestige. There are a number of factors to the new calculation, but the most important change is that variety within a Beacon is now given far more weight when it comes to assigning Prestige values. Perhaps it’s time to add some more flair to your Base!

With Rift, Umbris, and Blink being added to the Universe, many possibilities are opened up for their use. Building is a fine way to employ them, but their usefulness doesn't end there. Slingbows, Hammers, Axes, Shovels, Bombs, Grapples … these new Materials can be incorporated into any of them. Perhaps it’s time to upgrade the Tools of your Trade?

Exoworlds

Release 219

Brand new Worlds have been spotted in the skies over the Known Worlds. These mysterious Exoworlds will not be around for long, and are sure to contain rare, rich Resources in unique colours. These Exoworlds follow a wide orbit, and won't be visible for long - so no Citizen may Plot or place Beacons on them. Explore, Hunt and Mine, then get ready for the next one! A word of warning; the first Level 7+ Worlds will be arriving as a part of this, including Rift, Umbris, and Blink Exoworlds… so be prepared, they may not give up their bounty easily!
