Endless - v2.2
Released: September 2nd 2022
Everything mentioned in v2.2 for the main game applies here too
Creative mode (sorta, it’s more bootleg creative mode)
- In endless private servers, you now get admin commands if you are the owner of that private server.
- There’s like no limits to what half the admin commands do so you can just completely break the server pretty easily if you want
- Cycle speed = how many seconds for the maps to submerge and come back, set to high value to pause
- Meteor rate is meteor rate, lower number = more meteors
- Difficulty just effects difficulty stuff
- Supply drop rates changes how long it takes for a supply drop to spawn on average, lower number = more supply drops
- Spawn block spawns a block, the size thing is optional. If you do “Wood” followed by “7,2,1” , it creates a wood block with those dimensions
- The block names are the same as in the map kit
- The size thing in block creation doesn’t work when a block isn’t made up of just one part, so the game might break if you try to create large thrusters/farming plots
- Go make your giant battle ships I guess

- I forgot to mention this last update but escape and boat gameodes are a bit harder/faster
- Literally just banned all phone players (Not tablet users, just phone people), you may call this 1984, but I call it peace of mind, if you’re someone who can actually play the game well on a phone then I’m sorry but the needs of the many (the people who don’t want to be griefed every round by people on their parents phone) outweigh the needs of the few (just play on computer or even just on tablet, your phone probably cannot handle this game anyways)
- Doubled the amount of parts in jungle getaway to try to balance it
- Gave the admins some stuff more commands (they might be broken)
v1.8 - Survival Revamp
Released: August 21st 2022
- Slightly optimized stuff
- Meteor spawn rates have been tripled in all round types
- Made the random parts in ship wrecked slightly closer together
- New Controler Seat, two seats + button. No, this isn’t some stupid gyro stabiliser seat, go back to build a boat if you want some boring mechanics for noobs. The seat acts like a normal seat, however, there is 4 outputs on the seat, one on the front,back,left and right side of seat. whenever you press W,A,S or D, it will activate the output of that button (If you press w, you will activated any wire/block attached to the front of the seat). You can use this to control ships by wiring up the connections to say thrusters, this is pc only for now, will be changed in a different update
- Wire speed has now been doubled
- American flag recipe changed again (Hint, think of colours + it requires 5 blocks)
- Farming plots now require 60 seconds to grow food instead of 40
- Water damage system remake, Parts are now damaged by how far they are into water, if a part’s 50% into the water, it gets 50% damage (I thought the game already worked like that, but it turns out that was broken for like a year and I didn’t notice). This should make boats break down more organically
- Make night a lot brigher, you can actually see and lights are kinda optional now
- You now require a reason for a votekick, it straight up won’t let you votekick unless you give a reason
- In the beginings of survival matches, the flood is paused for 200 seconds before it starts to rise, this means you are now able to build more and actual use stuff like gaming computers and motors that other just never could use because the flood came up to quickly
- Increased water damage by 20% To balance out the above mentioned pause system
- Extended one of the vines in jungle getaway so that you wouldn’t get stuck if you fell down during the paused period (also the no vines modifier also has one single vine for the same reason)
- *Wiring kit now has a controler seat in its tier 3.
- Added some new new board things
- Fixed the air,health or rope of spectated players being outside their boxes
- Oil pumps are now 30% slower
- All mighty welololol has made stone spawn 50% more in part playground
v1.7
Released: August 16th 2022
- New Badge, “Human, Xtra krispy”, get a kill with a lazer
- Fixed the mobile tutorial having a server size of 50, opps, I surprised people didn’t report this earlier, this bug was a thing for around 5 days and only one guy reported it
- Changed the recipe of the american flag (figure it out)
- New setting, Mute music players, it just mutes them (This does not apply to the american flag)
- Nerfed large stomach, making it so you cannot get health from beans and cookies and making bread buff only last one second

- Fixed map Kit and updated it with motors and fabric wheels
- Fixed the votekick reason not being Filtered (I’m Surprised I’m not banned)
- Fixed bug where aligned parts would be a EVER SO SLIGHTLY gap between aligned parts
- Fixed bug where trying to align part to another part would fling the former part away
- [I still have no idea why you instantly get deleted if you go on a balloon boat for too long, idk I’ve checked like half the game scripts]

- Fixed Glitch where Electrician tier 3 would only be tier 1
v1.5 - Huge Update
Released: August 13th 2022
Hey I’m back, been making a pretty big update for like 4 weeks, so here it is
Let’s start with some of the small changes:
No more climbing glitch with wooden trusses
Added part infos and part flavour text for all new parts and some old ones that I forgot to add before
Motors have bigger hinges so you can glue on to them easier (+ easier with the new part aligning system that we’ll talk about later)
By popular demand, the tier 3 of the car kit actually spawns a car and not just some parts (idk how you’re gonna drive it but enjoy it)
Raft vs Raft is back, because some people still wanted it back, so sure why not
Parts are now a bit transparent when you are holding them
Fixed bug with thrusters and lazers that made you able to pick up boats (sorry odds555)
Crafting recipes button if you’re on mobile (next to shop)
you have to put the “water pump thingy” in the water for oil pumps to actually generate oil
Electrician now only buffs max rope instead of wire speed.
The “new” tutorial (from like 2 months ago) now works in mobile and you now teleport to that instead of the old one
Made night ever so slightly brighter
Lazers can now explode oil and explosives
You can now make wired lights from light + rope bundle
Add an american flag part, it is crafted how you think it’s crafted
Fixed the bug where you could spam a crafting table into a building and have it be destroyed
the “News” board now appears in the part playground and at spawn/voting area
Added the first ever map in the part info place (Same as first boat)
Fixed map voting text randomly glitching out
In Isolated Arquipelago and Encave and Jungle Getaway you now have around 30% to 50% more time to build boats before the flood gets up (These maps don’t have a lot of parts so you might as well get the time to use them all)
In Insolated Arquiplago there has been bridges added to every island that you can spawn on and the “no bridges” Modifier has been replaced by “less bridges” which is just the original bridge layout
In Crystal Cavern, there’s now some ramps you can use to get back to the main island if you fall and more lights now spawn
Boat rounds are a bit more rare because they are really only interesting the first few times
The broken map selection robux dev product has been replaced with “Spawn 50 giant waves” for 50 robuxs, that is 1 robux per wave
Intermission has been changed from 60 seconds to 30 seconds
fixed the free money map having no icon
Kinda made it so you can hold balloons when they are activated, sorta
Didn’t fix container fly, maybe next update boys
Plus a lot of random stuff I forgot to add here
Next up is all the major changes:
You can now see a part’s health when holding a part
You can now see people’s rope, health,air etc when spectating + part hp
New Effects:
Theses are just effects that appear under the part infomation stat thing, currently there is 4 in the game, 2 food related, 2 pvp related, they are
"Bread Buff: Gives you 10 HP every second, stacks with more bread ", – When you eat bread
“Bean Buff: 50% water damage reduction (+ air) but no health regen”, – When you eat beans
“Slippery Grip, 50% less sword damage from recently being in water”, – Touching water in te/ffa
“Kill Buff, 5 HP every second + 25% more sword damage” – Getting a player kill in te/ffa
New part aligning system,
press G while holding a part and it will try to align itself to whatever part you looking at that isn’t
the part your holding
The alignment is automatically locked to a 0.5 stud grid, allowing for precise building
Decent for building and really good for attaching stuff to motors and that kinda stuff
About 2 and a half weeks of the development time was spent on this so I hope people actually use it
optimized a lot of server side scripts so there should be less lag,
(This might make part physics less bad and flingy)
New setting, Flood speed refresh rate,
This setting is for reducing lag in bigger maps, It has values of 12hz, 24hz and 60hz.
Before this update, the flood would update every frame , but this caused lag in some devices on some bigger maps, (And you don’t really need 60hz most of the time)
I have a setting for that now, defaults to 24hz
Mobile actually gets “some” love for once, It’s no longer garbage
well it’s still not ideal, but it’s now a bit playable, here’s all the mobile changes in one place
New crafting recipe button
Fixed half the bugs with it
Optimized the game a lot so that you’re phone won’t overheat
Mobile now has the new tutorial
however the instant wire update got delayed for the future because it was
A: useless
B: Very laggy
C: Broke a lot of stuff
(It will be added in at some point)
Post Update Fixes:
Fixed mobile players being unable to drop parts without gluing (There will be a setting to put it back
how it was at some point
Fixed being able to hold parts infinitly far away (fixed, though you are able to hold them from further away now)
Fixed Bread buff and Kill buff not working well in laggy conditions
Fixed the robux item “give everyone swords” because it didn’t work randomly, if you bought that and it didn’t work, roblox should refund you automatically at some point
Part 2
Fixed swords randomly breaking
Part 3
Turned on the anticheat (Very Very, Weak anticheat, but it does help a bit)
Nerfed Snack part pack for pvp
Kill buff regen nerfed by 75% but it now lasts 15 seconds instead of 8
You now only get 75% of the coins you would normally get from damaging a player
Splippery Grip only reduces sword damage by 20% instead of 50%
Bean buff now gives 20% more speed instead of reducing water damage but also only lasts 25 seconds instead of 30
New Effect, Lazer Burn, 25% less speed from being hit by a lazer
Fixed bug where lazers would be laggy in lobby
