🛠 Cogwork Continuum v1.7.2 – Through the Lens

Lights, camera... action!

This update focuses on enriching your visual and gameplay experience, while adding a few powerful new challenges and toys to your steampunk toolbox. For the best experience, we strongly recommend a world reset, especially to take full advantage of new worldgen content and mechanics.

⚠️ Recommended: World Reset

Some of the newly introduced features — particularly those involving dungeons, worldgen, or boss mechanics — may require a new world to function as intended. If you're playing long-term or running a public server, starting fresh is advised to avoid missing content.
