Stove & Summon Rebalance and Craft Queues 📈 Koltera 2 Patch 4.0
Date: 2026-03-29 06:25:53
Important note regarding rebalances. I've rebalanced a ton of the gathering resource requirements for all the creatures so that it's not so top heavy. Meaning that hitting T4 and T5 is much more accessible now. There's going to be overlap now in some of the gathering resources, instead of a TON of overlap in the level 90 resource. This feels much better and should help address the huge wall around T4-T5.
The Stove has also been re-arranged. I know change is annoying, but my goal with the shuffling around is that the recipes now get progressively more tricky/harder for the most part as you level up. Instead of Meat Stew being an early requirement for some summons, it's one of the last foods for example.
Decided to leave out dungeons / minigames for now. They're in progress, but wanted to get this update out and not rush these other things. I've got a decent plan for dungeons, which I'll be implementing for the next update.
