Patch Notes

1.0.1 Hotfix Notes Guide

The May 15, 2026 hotfix changed Robust and Boss Rush, exposed locked Pressure rules, and fixed several achievement and creature interactions.

Version details and scope

  1. Update the game before comparing route notes; 1.0.1 went live on May 15, 2026.
  2. Robust's effect was reduced by 25%, so chonk and defense routes should budget more sustain, damage, or movement instead of relying on old tank math.
  3. Boss Rush now levels faster, has longer fights, and reduces enemy scaling, but Independent is banned there.
  4. All Pressure levels and their rules became visible before unlocking them. Check the in-game rules panel when preparing for a level you have not reached.
  5. Patient skipping, Aquaconda arena behavior, fish/meat drops, and Full Plated achievement granting all received fixes that can affect route testing.
  6. The update also slightly reduced high-level experience growth and added language-selection and roadmap interface changes. These notes describe the May 15 release; later patches may change the same systems.
