Our team has been on an extended break after everything we've put into Solaris over the past year. Sorry for the wait, everyone! We're back with a big one: two brand new solo activities, trading, furniture and a lot more.
Apartments
Apartments are our first solo activity, and they come packed with features:
- Create and teleport to your own apartment with
/apartments. - Make it yours: set your apartment's name, description, spawn point, weather and time of day.
- Buy furniture in the
/apartmentsmenu, then place furniture and your regular cosmetics inside. - Creative Mode: turn it on from your apartment panel. In Creative Mode you get the Block Tool, which gives you all sorts of blocks to build with.
- Wallpapers: use the paint brush to put wallpaper on your walls. Unique custom textures are coming soon.
- Upgrade your apartment with coins to get more space.
Jobs
Jobs are our second solo activity. Every job has its own skill tree, and there's an Overall Skill Tree packed with cosmetics. Open them with /jobs.
- Each task you complete earns Skill Progress, based on how far you had to travel. Each level takes a bit more progress than the last.
- There's one job for now: Package Delivery. Right-click Steve Jobs to get a package.
- An arrow points you to the NPC who needs the package, and they'll glow so you can spot them.
- Job skill tree rewards include coins, XP, cosmetics and Overall Skill Tree tokens.
We'll be adding a bigger jobs activity when Season 1 launches, so think of this as a trial run while we make sure everything works and is balanced. The current skill tree rewards are random placeholders and will change for Season 1.
Lobby
- The Game Selector is open!
- Trade with other players using
/trade <player>, or from their profile. - Added a tutorial. Please send us suggestions to improve it: we want every feature to be crystal clear to new players.
- Hologram leaderboards in the lobby show the top 10 players by rank for Dodgeball and Cataclysm.
- A lobby scoreboard that cycles through your coins, stars, Pizza Place level and progress, and Package Delivery level and progress.

- The phone now has sounds.
- You now have to click twice to buy something from the Marketplace.
