Quick answer
Confirmed-only previewDeep North arrives with 1.0; its full progression and recipes are not yet confirmed.
Official developer updates confirm icy terrain, slippery ice, deep snow, a shovel interaction, and lingonberries used in food recipes. They do not yet establish the final boss path, complete resource list, recipes, stats, or exact biome progression.

The usable facts before release
| Question | Status | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| Deep North ships with 1.0 | Confirmed | The official 1.0 FAQ identifies Deep North as the final-release endgame addition. |
| Slippery ice | Confirmed | The Winter Adventures update explicitly describes slippery ice. |
| Deep snow | Confirmed | Deep snow and movement through it are shown and described. |
| Shovel | Confirmed | A shovel interaction is shown and named; complete acquisition details are not. |
| Lingonberries | Confirmed | The developer says they are used in food recipes; the recipes remain undisclosed. |
Shown does not mean fully documented
Frost Foundry and later developer posts establish the biome's cold visual identity and selected interactions. They are credible preview evidence, but a screenshot or trailer frame does not reveal final damage values, crafting ingredients, unlock order, drop rates, or whether a mechanic changed before release.
An officially named berry does not reveal every recipe it is used in. Treat the confirmed item and its unknown crafting details separately.
