Written By Jonathan Hill

Hey everyone! We have one more build contest to run before Halloween festivities begin, and a new building mechanic for you to play with.

From magitech constructs to iron forges in deep dwarven mines.

  • 🗓️Due Date: Wednesday, September 18th, 2025 11:59 PM PDT

    • This event is also listed on the [calendar](https://www.silverspringssurvival.com/calendar).

  • ✏️Prize Info: Can be found here.

  • 🏆Special Prize: Entrants for the top 3 submissions earn +1 Charms slot and a free **Polaris** relic (see below!)

💡Lights

A new Valor relic, Polaris, is available for purchase from Artificer Malachy for 1 Nether Star + 4 Runes of Sparks.

Inserting light-emitting blocks or Runes of Sparks into Polaris charges it. You can adjust its selected brightness, then "place" it to spawn an invisible light at that brightness, consuming an equivalent amount of charge. There is no cap to the charge, which also allows Polaris to act as an infinite sized stack of lights.

For example, torches give off 14 light, so inserting one adds 14 charge. You can use this to place 1 light of 14 brightness, or 2 lights of 7 brightness, and so on. Looking forward to seeing how you all use this to enhance your builds!
