OOBLETS

Updates introduce two new areas into the world of Oob.

The cute critter collecting game Ooblets is gradually growing in size, and since its Early Access release last July, Badgetown and its surrounding areas have developed into something bigger. With regular content updates and brand new zones to explore, players have been keeping busy with the game’s two biggest updates: Wildlands 0.6 and Nullwhere 0.4.

First up is the Wildlands update, which introduced an open forest area north of Badgetown where giant herds of ooblets frolic in the wild. A major issue that players were running into was ooblet overpopulation, and if you had been playing the game since launch like me, you more than likely had a small ooblet army distracting you from your farm work. The Wildlands act as an ooblet overflow area where you can drop the critters off and add them back to your farm as much as you like, without fear of facing the incredible guilt of which ooblets you’ll have to permanently release into the wild due to space shortages.

The Wildlands also has a new fishing spot, where you can nab a bunch of resources, and the Nurny Mines which is a rocky heap where you can mine for nurnies, which are used for crafting. Having two new areas for gathering resources in Badgetown is incredibly handy, and gives players more opportunities to turn trash to treasure and craft to their heart’s content.
