I made my home on Liberation: Pit. Due east of the portal on the ridge right before the desert.
for those of you who are getting into the closed beta here is a handy list of infos all in one place.
New Features
Claim Ratings
IF YOU HAVE A FOUNDER'S PICK!
* Mine some copper and craft a pair of Keen Eye Bands (discovery stat ftw!)
* Go find some iron and the other resources you need to make a claim flag.
* Make that flag at the BASIC FORGE at the Hub. (The hub no longer has a Stone Forge.)
* Go stake your claim.
* Then go back to the hub, make a Stone Forge, and take it back to your claim so that you can make Iron Ingots and such. (Basic Forge only smelts copper and tin.)
* Build an Alchemy Station, then an Iron Pick, then a Silver Axe.
* Up to you at this point, but pro tip...consider an Outfitter's Station so you get access to better Discovery accessories.
IF YOU DO *NOT* HAVE A FOUNDER'S PICK!
* Start out by building a Copper Pick.
* Gather more copper and build a pair of Keen Eye Bands
* Build a Tin Axe (not strictly necessary, but nicer than the Stone Axe).
* Build a claim flag and plant your claim
* Refer to the post-claim steps in the list above!
ALSO! Be warned! You do NOT know the progression steps just because you played Alpha. You'll need to poke around and figure it out, just like you did at the start of Alpha. (Example, the next step after stone forge is NOT saw table.)
Enjoy!

New Features
Claim Ratings
- The first phase of Claim Ratings is now in game! Once a player has tagged their claim, you can visit them and give them a thumbs up. As more people upvote their claim, their Temperature Gauge will change from an icy blue to a fiery red. (Votes expire after seven days.)
- As this is just the first phase of Claim Ratings, we have lots more to look forward soon, including, but not limited to:
- Searching via ratings / tags / visitor count / recommendation count
- Filtering via ratings / tags / visitor count / recommendation count on the Map
- Sending Feedback / Tips to the owner of the Claim
- Claims now require an upkeep cost.
- You must deposit resources in your Upkeep Bank to pre-pay for upkeep. To fill (or refill) your Upkeep Bank, press “U” to open the Claim Management window, and click the “Upkeep Management” button.
- Upkeep is due every 24 hours, but can be pre-paid for up to 5 days of real time. (tweet comment)
- If your claim expires, it is automatically deleted. However, we'll template up your claim(s) for you, and email you all of the resources and props that were present in the claim when it was foreclosed on.
- FOR NOW, the upkeep cost is 300 copper ore per claim - this will change in the future to use in-game currency.
- We've added new options to character create! Choose from a variety of faces, hairstyles, and facial hair for both male and female characters.
- We've generated a bunch of new islands for you explore and stake your claim on.
- Previously almost all (48 of the 50) of the islands were either Tropical / Desert or Tundra / Old Growth Forest. No longer! Since we've also added new islands... how about a new Tier? Tier 4 is now available! You can now find Mithril and Diamond in Tier 4 continents.
- We now have all available combinations available! Want a lush tropical jungle that blends in to an old forest? Maybe you'd like the cold mountainous tundra, that smoothes in to the rolling sand of a desert? You can choose!
- We've added a chest to the Spire that will automatically re-grant any Founder's pack items that you might have missed or accidentally deleted.
- There are two new outfits that each come in 7 different color combinations that can be crafted at the Outfitter’s Table.
