Terraria’s developers have stopped talking about any update being final: as it turns out, even after more than 11 years, they still have more ideas for the crafting survival game. The new Labor of Love update, the follow-up to the supposedly final Journey’s End, arrived on Wednesday, with a dizzying number of changes in tow before you even dig into the dozens and dozens of bug fixes.

Here are the highlights:

On top of those major changes are many more: 300 new items, a new tree type, 25 new blocks and wall types, and oh-so-many little quality of life and interface changes. A new Coating type lets you turn your buildings invisible. Ropes now properly interact with minecarts and platforms. You can now have twice as many debuffs and buffs active at any time (a total of 44).

There is a new thing called the Fart Kart.

Terraria: Labor of Love is available now. You can read the full patch notes over on theTerraria forums.
