Entropia Universe Version Updates

This archive preserves the complete history of Entropia Universe Version Updates, documenting the technical evolution of the platform and the development of its virtual worlds. Each update represents a snapshot in the ongoing transformation of the universe, from early system foundations and gameplay mechanics to major graphical upgrades, planetary expansions, and platform milestones.

The release notes collected here provide insight into how the real-cash economy virtual universe has evolved over time — including engine transitions, interface redesigns, new systems, balance adjustments, and community-driven improvements. Together they form a chronological technical record of the changes that shaped Entropia Universe from its early years to the modern era.

Use the search function to explore specific Version Updates, locate historical features, or trace how particular systems and mechanics have developed across different eras of the universe.

Some Version Update release notes are currently missing or temporarily unavailable due to the migration from PlanetCalypsoForum to the new Entropia Forum. PlanetCalypsoForum historically served as a primary archival source for Entropia Universe VU documentation, and some older or recent VU posts may not have migrated cleanly or may still be unavailable while the forum transition settles.

For best results use 1 or 2 words, or an exact phrase. (example: "space mining")

Entropia Universe 11.9.3 Release Notes
New Feature

Teleport to Event Service

If you have registered to participate in an event but you are not in or near the event area when the event begins, you can now teleport there for free! When there is maximum 15 minutes left until the event starts you can click the Teleport To Event button in the Event Settings interface. At event start you will automatically be prompted about it and through that dialog you can choose to teleport to the event area.

Note: This teleportation service only works if you are on the same planet as the event area.

Improvements and Fixed Issues

Event List

  • The Event List now shows all Event Areas, not just the ones with upcoming Events.
  • Ongoing Events are now also shown in the list and the position of the Event Organizer (or Land Area Marker) has been added for all areas. This position is also marked in the Map when clicking the "Show on map" button.
Miscellaneous

  • Clearer Fort Battle Messages. Messages during Fort Events and Landgrab fort battles now have color-coded icons to make it clearer which force the message concerns.
  • Land Area deeds fix. Fixed issue where you could not claim land areas with a deed from Land Area Configuration Terminals.

Entropia Universe 11.9.0 Release Notes
New Features

Client Loader

  • You can now prioritize planet download order in the Client Loader:
  • Click the Tools button to open the Tools window.
  • Select the Dynamic Content tab. Follow the instructions there to set desired settings.
  • The web page displayed in the Client Loader will reflect the planetary system you are located on when you log out.

Dynamic Content Download

  • Included download on demand for terrain textures. This feature will be used the next time you download new terrain objects.
  • We have decreased the amount of data needed to be downloaded before you can enter a planet. This will have a larger effect for new participants, but will also affect current participants.

Grace Period

We have implemented a grace period after logging in or teleporting. During this time you do not attract mobs and cannot be damaged by them or other participants. The grace period is stopped after 45 seconds or if you move, use a tool, equip a garment or a tool.

This period is visualized with an effect.

If you are trying to damage a participant who is in this grace period you will trigger the damage text Unreachable and a chat message that this participant cannot be damaged right now.

Mining

  • Mining claims are displayed on the radar. This icon also indicates if the claim is at your level, above you or below you.
  • Added Reach All Mining Claims action. With this you can reach claims that are located at inaccessible locations:
  • You can only summon claims if you are located where mining is allowed.?
  • Summoning a claim takes 30 seconds and during this your movement is locked.?
  • The mining deed displays the claim's vertical placement.
  • To avoid unreachable claims, mining is disabled when your attempted survey placing differs too much from your placement.

Miscellaneous

  • Vehicles can now be added to the keymap or the desktop. When used, they trigger the spawn vehicle action. These icon shortcuts will be disabled when the vehicle is spawned.
  • Added loot sprinkle effect on corpses lootable by you.
  • Improved creatures AI in general. Also activated special AI behavior on the Feffoids.

Future Features - Implemented but not Activated

This category includes information on new features and systems that MindArk has included in the platform with this release. This means that our Planet Partners now can choose to include the following features on their planets:

  • Added functions for caves; possible to enable spawning of creatures and mining claims in caves.
  • Special AI behavior on creatures can be set.

Improvements and Fixed Issues

Client Loader

  • During planet content download, the information will now state which planet you are downloading, not just "planet content", as before.

MindForce

  • Improved accuracy when MindForce teleporting.
  • In Item Info for teleport chips, instead of displaying the efficiency, the accuracy is displayed in percentage. For example: Accuracy: 65%/234m.

Mining

  • Added chat message for when you are within an area that does not permit mining.
  • If the mining size and type is unknown the deed now also displays unknown for size and type. Once the excavation is started and the deed's Item Info reopened, the Item Info is updated with values for size and type.

Miscellaneous

  • Improved how objects fade in and out.
  • Fixed client crashes caused by some items.
  • Added a one-minute cool-down period after spawning vehicles.

  • Tool tips are now visible in the Login UI.
  • Improved error information when failing to connect to the Internet or the download servers are offline.
  • Latitude and longitude on radar now corresponds to those Map values.

Land Grab and Events

  • Now, the Main Chat only displays the points that you got, not all other teams' and avatars' points.
  • Lowered force points received when destroying fort turrets from three to one.
  • Increase force field shields from 500 to 750.
  • Land Grab: Changing density and maturity settings in the fertilizer terminal of Land Grab areas now works correctly.
  • Added Autobalance Forces option when creating a Fort Event. By default, the option is enabled. It balances on maximum health and number of participants.
  • Land Grab: Teleporting rules within Land Grab Area during battle:
  • Landgrab fort battle: Only defenders can teleport into and spawn vehicles in fort area.?
  • Landgrab marker battle: No one can teleport into or spawn vehicles in fort area.?
  • Land Grab: Vehicle spawning rules during Land Grab:
  • During the fort battle, only the defenders can spawn vehicles within the land are fort zone.?
  • During the battle of the Claim Marker, vehicles can no longer be spawned within the land area fort zone.?

  • Amethera is yet again currently a PvP zone. We are working on solving this issue. Note that if you manage a Land Area there and do not want PvP on it, you have to perform the workaround once again:
  1. In your Land Area Marker Settings, activate PvP and click Accept.
  2. In your Land Area Marker Settings, disable PvP and click Accept.
  3. Managed Land Area is not a PvP zone now. However, you will have a yellow PvP symbol on the Radar since the surrounding area is still PvP.
