Historically, version 1.8.x focused on quality-of-life improvements and early access holdovers. Version is widely understood by dataminers and regular players to bridge the gap between the " A Rift in Time " expansion pass content and the next free content update.

Building on the Group Mode feature, you can now save sections of your Valley’s layout as presets. This allows you to easily copy, remove, and replace entire decorated areas without starting from scratch.

Update v1.9.0.9407 expanded the magical ecosystem of the Valley by establishing new dimensional doorways and progression paths.
