One of the more amusing bugs we came across while testing the beach ball avatar transform feature for #RT8
It was fixed but also wouldn't complain if it popped up again lol..🌎✌️

For such a major live software deployment involving gameplay systems, multiplayer infrastructure, backend services, APIs & persistent world systems - things went extremely smooth!
Very proud of the team!
Thank you for everyone's patience & support during both the development phase & the subsequent releases!
We will continue to monitor #RT8 as we push forward toward the next Reality Thread!

#RealityThread8 is incoming on #Earth2! Another major #E2V1 Pre-Alpha release packed with new systems, mechanics plus lots of hidden details packed into the article🌍✌️
👉https://t.co/ClhNjD9DTO
The past 4 months inside #Earth2 have been the most productive period we have ever had in terms of actual product outcome & systems making their way live into #E2V1. System after system, feature after feature, foundations turning into actual playable functionality & you are helping us keep up the momentum so thank you for your support🙏
I understand some would prefer more frequent official articles or smaller update posts along the way, but the results really do speak for themselves. If you look at everything included in RT8, we could have easily split this mammoth article into published posts every couple of days or weekly articles over the past 2 months. However, constantly preparing media, technical reports from devs, posts & announcements takes valuable time away from development, testing & implementation, so our current focus is delivering these larger Reality Threads packed with meaningful, tangible progress every 2-3 months or less.
No hype.
No announcements for announcements.
Just real systems, real gameplay and real progress.
The pace of tangible development progress inside #E2V1 right now is the strongest it has ever been.
While there are a number of foundational features inside #RealityThread8, one thing to pay close attention to is the introduction of global multiplayer ball physics. On the surface you might see a beach ball.. but underneath it is a very important foundational system for #Earth2 long term.
This is not about a beach ball specifically, it is about synchronised global multiplayer physics operating inside a persistent 510,072,000km² world.
Many games spend years refining ball physics alone inside very small contained environments & still can't get it right, so the fact our team is already achieving acceptable multiplayer physics interactions inside something the size of #E2V1 at such an early stage is honestly a very exciting milestone for us internally.
During internal testing we had team members running #E2V1 from Europe, Asia, Australia & South America in a single session, with between roughly 150-300 ping & the experience was still surprisingly playable (considering the sheer scale of #E2V1 & complexity involved).
Keep in mind, lower ping will always provide the best experience when interacting with the beach ball, but this system opens the door to an enormous amount of future possibilities. Just because we're using a beach ball now does not mean it's always going to be a beach ball - the same foundation can be applied any type of ball or spherical object, with adjusted physics, or any size, which could be used for any number of experiences, mini-games, activities & more.
A lot of #E2V1 development is about this type of thing right now. Establishing long term foundational systems that will become part of the platform long term & continue stacking them on top of one another release after release & I am trying to build & release it a way that gives our #Players / testers something extra to do as these pivotal systems come online.
Here is a summary of feature releases inside #RT8, but be sure to read the article for full details as it contains a lot more information than what is summarised here:
🌱 Growing a Garden
🍳 Kitchens & Advanced Recipes
🏖️ Global Scale Multiplayer Beach Balls with full Environmental Physics
🧟 Hordes Scanner
📡 My Property Scanner
📜 In-World Quest Creation
🎒 Superior Backpack
💧 Water Bottle & Survival Improvements
⚛️ Gaia Pulse Reactor
⚡ Massive Performance & UI/UX Improvements
🎭 Character & Multiplayer Optimisation
Everything is coming together, step by step.
As always, thank you to everyone continuing to support #Earth2 & #E2V1 as we keep building. The ongoing support, patience & belief from many members of the community genuinely allows us to continue pushing forward, expanding the team’s efforts & focusing on long term development properly.
This article is being posted a little in advance so Players can wrap their heads around some of the new features & updates, but RT8 is expected to be rolled out in the next 72 hours.
IMPORTANT: RT8 will be another large & complicated Reality Thread release with many interconnected systems going live simultaneously, so please allow the team some breathing room if unexpected issues appear after deployment. These are exactly the types of complex systems that require real world testing at scale & we will continue refining them as we move forward.
If any major issues arise our team has always fixed them quickly in the past, so just give them space please.
Honestly the past few months have been extremely intense, but I can't wait to see #Players enjoying the expanded utility on their properties, growing gardens, harvesting, cooking & not just for the sake of it like in many games, but for actual long term purpose inside #E2V1 leading into #Hordes, #Animals, the #EcoSim & much more!
It makes it all the more worth the while.
Also keen to see #Players kicking around some beach balls - I know we have had fun mucking around with it during QA tests with the team - just remember the lower the ping you have the better experience you'll get! Am planning to build a lot on top of this feature!

Five mutants. One cosmic power. One final reveal.
In just over 24hrs since #Earth2 Reality Thread 7 went live on #E2V1, our team has been monitoring, fixed a number of issues & has released a new build - 0.4.7.1🌎✌️
For full details on this update please check out:
https://t.co/OeAWWsvr0C
1⃣ Quest completion system fixed for some of the Players who experienced issues completing the Quest when arriving at the Quest location.
2⃣ Discard item system optimised inside E2V1 & on BE - so improved performance when discarding items should reduce the lag time some were experiencing.
3⃣ E2V1 download issue via launcher for badge holders who got their first access in the RT7 release.
4⃣ Item and Recipe categories displaying correctly now.
5⃣ Auto Mentar Storage Chip equip for Mentar Storage Chip quests meaning Players will not have to equip themselves, system will automate it. A concept I want to play more with long term with the Quest system.
There are more details in the article but proud of the team for knuckling down & hustling to get all the above fixes out in just over 24 hours since the official #RT7 release!
We will continue to monitor & improve as we work toward the next major release on this massive 510,072,000 km2 digital planet - Earth 2!

#E2V1 0.3.6.2 is currently deploying. It include new improvements to the global water interactive system which should resolve issues Players experienced after instant teleportation to any location on Earth🌍✌️
https://t.co/5w3JTdxf9M
We also implemented numerous updates to a number of core inventory & item management systems in anticipation of Reality Thread 7, but also to fix some remaining issues since Reality Thread 6 & to ensure it is more robust for long term development.
We have been working on the 0.3.6.2 updates while also focusing on Reality Thread 7 features.
Please check the article above for further details, but the main updates in this version are:
1⃣ An additional fix release for water detection after teleporting, along with fixes for additional water detection issues.
2⃣ Fixed an issue that caused crafting recipes to fail sometimes.
3⃣ Fix #2 above resulted in a further rework of most existing Character systems. These changes improve overall system reliability and also update systems in preparation for Reality Thread 7.
4⃣ An additional fix applied to the invisible leg issue affecting some Characters.
5⃣ Inventory logic adjusted so:
• LMB moves a single item
• RMB moves all items
This is now universal across all systems and applies when swapping items between Inventory, Foraging, Crafting and Mentar Storage.
6⃣ Action Bar “Use Item” logic updated to improve syncing with backend services. Players may notice a small delay between item usage. This delay is expected for now and will be refined further as part of a UX improvement pass.
7⃣ Added the ability to manually resync Character Inventory. This is not required during normal play as syncing occurs automatically, but the manual option exists for cases where unexpected item display behaviour occurs, allowing Players to attempt resolution themselves.
8⃣ Fixed several spatial sound effect (SFX) issues.
9⃣ Additional bug fixes and general improvements.
The global water system is very complicated & the updates to the core inventory systems are not trivial, so there may be issues QA has missed over the past 2 weeks of testing, so as always please be patient with the team, report any problems & we will monitor the release closely & fix any issues that may arise.

#Earth2 Reality Thread 5 is coming online🌍✌️
Another big Earth 2 release spread across E2V1, multiplayer, API & BE systems being deployed without any downtime, so please give the team space if any issues arise!
https://t.co/XgeugfuSfm
The implementation that took up the most time for this release by far was the foundation for the Global Building System, which will pave way to all building placement systems inside E2V1. So that took up a little more time than expected but we're very excited for it to go live now so we can monitor & improve on it.
The teleportation system was also a feature I knew that would be complicated & time consuming to implement, which is why I initially flagged it for a later release, however, I wanted to get it out now as it paves the way for upcoming features & also makes community meet ups a lot easier to participate in.
It is incredible to look back & realise we have kept our multiplayer & server integration systems live for the E2V1 pre-alpha for 116 days straight now. Over 99% uptime with multiple hot releases & next to zero downtime .. for a Pre-Alpha!! Really proud of this!
In addition to the above you will notice there are numerous other feature releases, too much to cover so be sure to check out the article!

What better way to start 2026 than with Reality Thread 6 coming online inside #Earth2🌍✌️
Wishing everyone all the very best for 2026!
👉https://t.co/uwVRmlUh0E👈
Just over 2 weeks since Reality Thread 5 release, did not take a single day off during the break but instead focused on getting #RT6 out as quickly as possible with some of the key team members who worked through with me🙏
There is a lot packed into this release, more than I had expected, but as always it's rewarding to see it go live! I get excited every time we release a Reality Thread - such a good feeling!
Remember these releases are typically spread across E2V1, multiplayer, API & BE systems being deployed without any downtime, so please give the team space if any issues arise!
🍜 Chapter 3: Cooking & the Cooking Pot Set
