- New items: According to the modder, there should be some new crafting recipes and items to be able to produce food and heal diseases.
- Areas with Status Effects: In the first trailer you can see how the heat in Caelid affects the player. On the other hand, you can also produce suitable items that protect you from negative status effects.
- Raven Black Nights: In survival mode you have to equip torches or lanterns so you can see something in the night. But even with the light sources, the view is severely limited.
