One of the standout features of this update is Marguerit’s Greenhouse. Located on 4546B, this greenhouse offers a respite from the harsh environment with its unique plants and all-new salad recipes. These culinary delights not only add variety to the game but also provide essential nutrients to help players survive the freezing temperatures. The Recyclotron is another significant addition, allowing players to dismantle crafted objects and retrieve valuable materials. This feature is particularly useful for those in need of resources or looking to repurpose old items.
The update also introduces a new bridge leading to Arctic Spires via Glacial Bay.

The Iceberg Zone is another highlight, teeming with life both above and below the surface. Players can expect to encounter various creatures and potentially uncover Architect mysteries and artifacts hidden within this biome.
In addition to these environmental enhancements, players will enjoy new player emotes that allow them to react to changing weather conditions and other environmental shifts. The update also includes improvements to Snow Stalker behavior, making encounters with these creatures more dynamic. For those who need a break from the action, there’s now a thermos of coffee to warm up with, encouraging players to use an environmentally friendly thermos to keep the planet safe. The story of Below Zero continues to expand with new additions, including PDA entries and detailed work in Alterra’s abandoned bases. Environmental polish has been applied to various biomes, enhancing the overall visual experience. Finally, a new UI scaling slider allows players to tailor their game experience even further.
