Nimbit Frontier Quality-of-Life Update is Here!

The Quality-of-Life Update is Live!

This update focuses on making the everyday parts of Nimbit Frontier smoother and easier to use, with improvements to sanctuary building, exploration, quest tracking, controls, menus, and more.

We have also added several new tools to help you plan your habitats and keep track of your progress, plus a wardrobe, better bomb aiming, and one critically important new interaction.

Plan and Save Your Habitats

The new Habitat Planner gives you more control over your sanctuary. You can reset, save, and load habitat layouts, as well as quickly check sanctuary information, Nimbit skills, and traits while planning.

Customize Your Look

A wardrobe has been added, allowing you to change your appearance after character creation.

Improved Bomb Aiming

Bomb aiming has been improved, and we have added a new Player Facing aim mode option for players who prefer aiming based on the direction their character is facing.

We have also made digging from different directions easier and added contextual tool switching in the overworld.

Easier Quest Item Tracking

Quest items are now clearly tagged in both your inventory and the Forage Guide.

When an item can be found through foraging, you can also jump directly from the quest item to its corresponding Forage Guide page.

The Weather Balloon can now be upgraded with the Quest Forage Monitor, providing another way to keep track of materials you are searching for.

Find What You Need While Building

The habitat build menu now includes filtering tags, making it much easier to find decorations, habitat features, food sources, and other objects that fit what you are building.

And Most Importantly...

Please pet the cat.
