*Bugfix: Place, push and pull action fixes.
**Placing items is now properly blocked by walls and fences, and by being too far away from the item.
**Placing an item now rotates it the minimum amount required to achieve the selected rotation, instead of occasionally spinning it an additional 360 degrees, and will rotate it in whichever direction gets it there with the smallest degree of change.
**When the Place action is interrupted while you are still deciding where to place the item, the item placement silhouette is now properly removed in the client.
**Catapults and rafts are now placed at the rotation selected, instead of 180 degrees off from that.

==[https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/209291-patch-notes-19-nov-2025/ Patch Notes 19-NOV-2025]==
===Server Changelog===
*Change: Improved the clarity of some messages related to binding and unbinding arrows. You may now also see how many war and/or hunting arrows are in an arrow bundle by examining it.
*Change: The Place, Push, and Pull actions have been significantly rewritten, with various fixes and quality of life improvements:
**These actions can now move items across cave entrances, into or out of buildings, and through doors and fence gates that you have permission to open.
**Anything that would cause these actions to fail, such as permissions or something getting in the way, will cause the action to fail no matter when during the action it would happen. In other words, if using Place to move an item across three tiles, a problem that would prevent it from moving to the third tile will prevent it from wasting time moving at all.
**When these actions move an item from one tile to another, the item will automatically move up or down by up to 5 height (in dirts) in order to move on and off floors. This should allow for movement of items even between dock floors that don't quite match in height. In the case of Push or Pull, it may move down an unlimited distance, allowing you to, for example, push a crate off a building to the ground below.
**If the item can't actually move from its old location to the new location in a straight line, the action will be stopped. For example, this would include trying to use Place to move a crate from directly underneath a bridge to the top of that bridge, or directly from the ground to the second floor of a building, since it has no way to get there.
**Error messages are now much clearer about what is preventing the action and why.
**Various bugs related to these actions and docks have been fixed, such as being unable to push items onto dock floors.
**Fixed permission checks and other checks not consistently being checked on every tile the item would move across during these actions.
*Bugfix: Items on a tunnel entrance now fall into the cave when the tunnel is opened.
*Bugfix: Tamed creatures can no longer be led while the tamer is offline.
*Bugfix: Fixed distance checks for building walls to be consistent regardless of the direction you're building the wall from.
*Bugfix: Fixed an issue that could cause shaker orbs to not detect a creature in the way.
*Bugfix: Vehicles with pumpkin lanterns attached loaded onto boats will now travel across server borders with the lantern still attached properly.
**Note: If you've previously crossed server border and cannot see/access the attached lantern, you'll need to cross back to the server you attached the lantern on to fix it.
*Bugfix: Fixed the issue where you were not able to sacrifice creatures.
*Bugfix: Fixed tool skills not increasing when building house walls.
*Bugfix: Creatures that are immune to lava will no longer avoid walking through it.
*Bugfix: Adding and removing arrows from bundles now takes damage of the arrow or bundle into account when calculating quality.
*Bugfix: You must be commanding a vehicle to detach a lantern from it, instead of just being a passenger.
*Bugfix: Fixed an issue with new wall plans sometimes not appearing when a tile is added to a building.
*Bugfix: Fixed an issue where some walls weren't being flagged as an outer wall properly.
*Bugfix: Planning an adjacent floor onto a flat tile with no supports now properly checks the tile type and highway status as would happen if you planned the floor directly on the tile.
*Bugfix: Halloween event items should now be actually improvable.
*Bugfix: Fixed creature pathing and movement issues when they were too close to water and couldn't swim.
*Bugfix: A hostile creature will still attempt to get close to you even if it the tile you are standing on is one that it is blocked from reaching or can't stand on
*Bugfix: Enemies firing a warmachine at a village structure should now alert the guards properly.

==[https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/208663-patch-notes-7-oct-2025/ Patch Notes 07-OCT-2025]==
===Server Changelog===
*Change: Small axe skill gain will now function as other weapon skills do, instead of how tool skills do.
*Change: Planning bridges now properly check for dock floors and planning a bridge over/under them is blocked.
*Change: Issues with skill checks on docks and floors:
**Bugfix: Fixed an issue where planning a supported floor over a slope wasn't properly checking skill versus the height off the ground of the planned floor.
**Bugfix: Fixed skill checks for wall and floor plans using carpentry instead of the skill related to the type of wall/floor being built.
**Change: Building a floor directly on a support will now have a lower skill requirement than it usually would for building at that height.
**Some more info on this to clear up any confusion:
***Skill requirements for planning supports over slopes is the same requirement as if you were building a house that tall - total height being calculated from the lowest corner on the tile.
***Because building a support uses masonry or carpentry depending on the support material, and floors use paving or carpentry, this lets you build a support that you don't have the skill to build a floor on.
***Skill requirement for floors on supports will now be effectively the same as building a house half the height of the support. This skill mismatch scenario can still occur, but should be easier to overcome.
***Houses extending upwards from a support will still have skill requirements the same as building a house the full height to the ground (lowest corner on the tile).
**Change: Error messages for needing skill to build at a certain height will now tell you the skill required.
*Change: Goblin Camp Tweaks:
**Bugfix: Founding or expanding a village now requires at least one tile in between the planned village perimeter and any Goblin Camp.
**Bugfix: Goblin Camps will no longer spawn over tiles that already have Goblin Camp items that have not been looted. This prevents scenarios where a new Goblin Camp, along with its spikes and watchtowers and other items, would spawn over existing spikes, watchtowers, etc., leading to confusion.
**Change: Founding or expanding a village requires that none of the planned village tiles have Goblin Camp items on them which have not been looted. This prevents deeding over the remains of a Goblin Camp in order to claim the items.
**Change: Goblin Camp items that have not been looted now have significantly increased decay, to help clear the land faster after the camp is defeated.
*Bugfix: Fixed ctrl-dragging an empty bulk storage bin or food storage bin into your inventory being blocked even though the ‘take’ action would work.
*Bugfix: Fixed some cases of ctrl-dragging a non-empty item, allowing you to move it into your inventory when the ‘take’ action would block it, such as a filled pantry cupboard.

*Bugfix: Fixed some cases of being able to drop multiple one-per-tile items on the same tile.
*Bugfix: Fixed some staircases requiring a trowel instead of a mallet/hammer.
*Bugfix: Fixed an issue where the ‘plan ceiling’ action wasn't correctly seeing walls that would support the ceiling.
*Bugfix: Fixed some cases where a bridge consisting of only a single tile may linger in the client even after being destroyed.
*Bugfix: You can no longer pick up crude tents from Goblin Camps or hitch animals to them, before picking their original locks. This also fixes a problem where picking up a crude tent was possible with animals hitched to it.
*Bugfix: While spear fishing, fish will no longer swim underground, instead preferring to swim closer to the surface of the water.
*Bugfix: Fixed some guards getting stuck when trying to path to a target very far away.
*Bugfix: Items created when mining should now appear on the floor or bridge you are standing on, instead of dropping to the ground and potentially creating piles with over 100 items.
*Bugfix: You can no longer mine cave ceilings which are already close to maximum height.
*Bugfix: Fixed disembark action not working on dock floors inside caves.
*Bugfix: Opening a map in the atlas via clicking a link from another map will no longer visually duplicate stamps on that map.
*Bugfix: You can no longer stamp a cartography map with an opal stamp linking to itself. Existing maps with stamps linked to themselves will no longer show those stamps.
*Bugfix: Improved grammar when blocking a goblin projectile with a shield.
*Bugfix: It is no longer possible to lockpick inside a Goblin Camp while the camp is awake on PvP servers.
*Bugfix: Attempting to lockpick Goblin Camp items will no longer be blocked in situations where you have village permissions to pick locks, or anywhere outside a village, as long as the item has the original lock and it has not been replaced by a player yet.
*Bugfix: Water depth and tile slope no longer block the construction of fences when building the fence on a floor connected directly to land.
*Bugfix: Fences no longer block players erroneously when built on a floor connected directly to land.
===Client Changelog===
*Bugfix: Players should no longer see a phantom fishing line when another player is spear fishing.
*Bugfix: Fixed fences sometimes displaying as being aligned to terrain, instead of the floor they were built on.

===New Feature: Docks===
<!-- [[File:https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/assets.wurmonline.com/wp-content/uploads/WurmLauncher64_K65oYh5tUn.jpg|options|New Feature: Docks]] -->
The docks feature allows you to build floors outside of houses and plan floors from an adjacent floor border into open air or sloped tiles. Each planned floor over a sloped tile or open air (outside of a house) will have either a stone or wooden support extend to the ground below, or a wooden brace that will allow the floor to be supported by an adjacent wall or grounded support. Once a support has been built, a floor can be built on top of the support - which then allows you to plan another floor adjacent to that.
