Core Keeper: The Frozen Depths Update News
The core is getting colder. Pugstorm has released the Frozen Depths patch for February 2026, a major content expansion that takes the underground sandbox into a sub-zero nightmare. This update introduces the seventh major biome, the **Luminous Frost**, along with a complete overhaul of the terminal-stage automation systems for dedicated server worlds.
🧊 The Luminous Frost
A high-difficulty late-game biome featuring slippery ice physics, frozen ancient ruins, and specialized 'Cryo-Ores'.
🔥 Thermal Automation
A new layer of logic. Use heat-exchangers and radiators to keep your automated farms functioning in the new sub-zero sectors.
What's New for Cross-Platform Servers?
The "Frozen Depths" update also marks the launch of True Cross-Play for Core Keeper. Players on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 can now join the same dedicated server worlds seamlessly. To support this, server binaries have been updated with "Buffer-Sync" tech to ensure that massive drill-arrays and conveyor belts remain synchronized regardless of the player's platform.
Expansion Highlights
- The Frost Behemoth: A massive roaming world boss that requires specialized 'Heat-Lances' to damage effectively.
- Sleds & Skates: New traversal items that turn the friction-free ice of the new biome into a high-speed travel network.
- Galaxite Tier 2: New crafting recipes that use Frozen Essence to upgrade your ancient tools even further.
- Dedicated Server Dashboard: A new lightweight web-interface for server owners to monitor UPS and active player counts.
Hot Tip: Use 'Fire-Gem Torches' in the Luminous Frost. Standard torches provide less light and provide zero warmth, leading to a 'Frostbite' debuff that slows mining speed.
