FAQ

What is the latest official Depth Spelunking patch on this page?
This page summarizes v0.7.0b (Post-Recode Balance Patch), released 9 October 2026. Foxxive stated that updates after that date are posted in Discord, not the Roblox Developer Forum thread.
When did the Depth Spelunking Recode release?
Version 0.7.0a ("The Recode") went live on 26 July 2026 per the official update log. It overhauled damage, traumas, saves, the elevator, and lobby flow.
Does this patch notes page include Discord-only hotfixes?
No. Only changes copied from the verified DevForum log through v0.7.0b are included. Check the official Discord for anything newer.
Where is the primary source for these Depth Spelunking patch notes?
The Roblox Developer Forum bulletin at devforum.roblox.com/t/depth-spelunking-information/1637069 through the 0.7.0b entry. We do not republish Miraheze Wiki wording.
Did Hard Mode ship in the Recode?
Yes. Hard Mode arrived with 0.7.0a as a separate difficulty track. Version 0.7.0b then made Eris more common from floor 2 and allowed Shrines of Soul on regular floors.

Returning after months away—or piecing together YouTube from pre-Recode runs—starts with one question: what actually changed? These Depth Spelunking patch notes group v0.7.0a (The Recode, 26 Jul 2026) and v0.7.0b (Post-Recode Balance, 9 Oct 2026) by the systems you feel on a normal expedition, not by the forum’s bullet order.

What shipped in v0.7.0a (The Recode)?

Think of 0.7.0a as a new ruleset. Combat, progression, and lobby flow all moved at once.

Player-facing area Date What changed (summary)
Death & recovery 26 Jul 2026 Entities usually deal damage instead of instant kills; traumas add long debuffs. Up to two paid revives per run (50 then 80 Robux) or free meta currency options. See /guides/how-to-revive/ and /guides/traumas-explained/.
Post-mortem 26 Jul 2026 Dead players may stay as ghosts with limited help/hindrance powers.
Hard Mode 26 Jul 2026 Separate challenge mode—details in /guides/hard-mode-guide/.
Elevator 26 Jul 2026 New elevator with closable doors to block entities.
Lobby 26 Jul 2026 Cross-server lobbies and join-by-code custom lobbies.
Movement & detection 26 Jul 2026 Walk 16→17, run 23→27; crouch, sprint, flashlight, and high fear now shift priority (entity attention). /guides/priority-and-fear/.
Floors & bosses 26 Jul 2026 No bosses before floor 20; 7%/floor from floor 60+; 10%/floor from floor 100+.
Items & spawns 26 Jul 2026 Per-player floor item copies (drops/vending excepted); fewer spawns when more players are alive. Starter spoilers in log: Sword of Damocles, Purity.
Accessibility 26 Jul 2026 Optional visual indicators for entity footsteps and chase starts.
Armor 26 Jul 2026 Diminishing returns past ±75%; hard cap ±90%.

Major entity reworks (Envy, Echovore, Channel, Mannequins behavior in 0.7.0a, etc.) landed here—entity pages such as /entities/echovore/ and /entities/envy/ focus on how to survive them today.

What did v0.7.0b change on 9 October 2026?

0.7.0b is a balance and polish pass on top of the Recode—less a second reboot, more tuning what hurt or felt undertuned.

Maps and modes

  • New maps: Toy Factory and Desert Ruins (community maps).
  • Hard Mode: Eris is more common and can appear from floor 2; Shrines of Soul can spawn on regular floors; tasks are harder.
  • Daily / scored runs: Shrine revives no longer disqualify leaderboard runs and badges below floor 100 (a common pain point after 0.7.0a).

Entity and event tuning you will notice

Topic 0.7.0b change (official log)
Mannequins No longer hear players; sight range 80→100 studs. Treat fights as sight-only—old audio strats are obsolete. /entities/mannequins/
Echovore Faster minecart; more rage from Echobab kills; faster sonic boom; 6 minimum pipes (was 5), interactable pipes highlighted. /entities/echovore/
Envy 3s warning before tangle at half tasks; unique task completion rules. /entities/envy/
Cold Breeze Duration 60→30s (tasks can shorten further); 2 cold stacks; elevator/levitating players skip ice physics; entities get -20% move speed instead of sliding.

Items many loadouts touch

The log calls out broad item work—not every line has public numbers:

  • Magic Scarf: “Various changes” plus quality reduction alongside Halo and Mystery Gift. Numeric rules below still reflect 0.7.0a text until a future official post contradicts them; see /items/magic-scarf/.
  • Coffee: Disables fear drain for its effect duration (pairs with fear management—/guides/priority-and-fear/).
  • NEO Dealmakers: 5 money per destroyed item; 40% base duplicate chance.
  • Providence: Stamina threshold 15%; max stamina regen 40%.
  • Vampiric Ring: 50% siphon; cannot siphon health from floor completion healing.
  • Phantom’s Cloak: 35 battery, 60s cooldown.
  • Mystery Gift: Grants 3 consumables again.
  • Nephalem’s Blessing: Reworked (details not fully spelled out in the forum entry).

Ghosts, UI, and social

  • Ghosts can teleport to living players and chat with each other.
  • Manifest Presence can stun nearby entities with a global cooldown.
  • Mid-run settings and upgrade vote countdown returned.
  • Lobby gift revives to other players; graphics option for slightly higher brightness.
  • Death sequence and spectate menu overhauled; flavor text on item descriptions in the depths.

Quick timeline: which patch is which?

Version Release date Nickname One-line identity
0.7.0a 26 Jul 2026 The Recode New elevator, traumas, ghosts, Hard Mode, revives, priority/fear ties to movement
0.7.0b 9 Oct 2026 Post-Recode Balance Map adds, Mannequin/Echovore/Cold Breeze tuning, item nerfs, ghost QoL

This hub stops at 0.7.0b—the last DevForum entry.

How to use this update log in a run

  1. Re-learn stealth: priority and fear feed detection—running with a flashlight in a boss floor is a different game than in 0.6.x. /guides/priority-and-fear/.
  2. Respect traumas: chip damage adds debuffs that stick across floors. /guides/traumas-explained/.
  3. Re-plan staples: if your build leaned on pre-0.7.0b Magic Scarf or Coffee fear drain, re-read /items/magic-scarf/ and item notes above.
  4. Pick mode deliberately: Hard Mode’s Eris cadence and shrine placement changed in 0.7.0b. /guides/hard-mode-guide/.
