April Fools events
Tips
In short
Each April 1st brings a completely different limited event with its own badge, so logging in that day is worth it every year.
Every year around April 1st the developers drop a themed event. Each one is different, and each awards a badge you can only earn during that window. Three events have run so far, each with its own distinct concept.
Tips worth knowing
- The 2024 event sent players to a sky island — visiting it earned the badge.
- The 2025 event was themed around non-electrified railways, framed as an ancient style of simulation.
- The 2026 event placed a throne in the darkness; sitting on it unlocked the badge.
