Pax Dei

The R47 content patch for Pax Dei, published July 6 2026, arrives with substantive changes across archery, progression, and clan management rather than isolated tweaks.

What changed

Archery & Hunting

  • Archery gameplay, balancing, and animations have been reworked from the ground up
  • Recurve Bows added; bow progression and visual models updated
  • Bows now require Bow Strings as a crafting component
  • The Fletching profession has been refactored with new recipes
  • Arrow progression and balance reworked
  • New huntable bird species added

Achievements

  • A full Achievement system introduced with nearly 300 achievements
  • Includes a Journal Achievement page, a HUD Milestone Tracker, and claimable rewards
  • Progress is shared across all characters within the same region

Permissions

  • New Homesteader clan membership rank added
  • New Villager & Up permission level added
  • Homesteaders cannot destroy building pieces placed more than 36 hours ago on clan-shared plots

World & Building

  • Ceremonial bonfire, hunting trophies, and functional wall-mounted and freestanding Archery Targets added

Balance & Fixes

  • Garlic yield raised from 3 to 5; Bronze Ingot recipe reduced from 100 to 60 Charcoal
  • Adult Birch Trees now have hardness 1 (down from 2), making them fellable with a Bronze Axe
  • Straw recipe now uses Reeds instead of Flax
  • Flint now spawns near the Petra Dei; spawn range from water expanded by 10 meters
  • All furnishing pieces removed from the Log Workbench and redistributed to more relevant stations

Taken together, the patch meaningfully lowers early-game resource friction while giving players a structured long-term goal in the achievement system.
