Challenges

Major balance patches can invalidate older guides and tier lists for a few days while the community re-tests. Codes shipped with each patch often expire when the next patch lands, so the GOODBYESUMMER code will likely be retired when the autumn update ships. Some patches add new biomes that are temporarily buggy — usually fixed within 48 hours but worth a wait if you are chasing the new drill.
