Carve Wood Updates
Confirmed milestones · early accessCarve Wood is in early access. The developer ($1b) does not run a public changelog page, so this timeline lists milestones we can confirm: announcements from the official $1b Games Discord (#announcements), the Roblox API created and updated timestamps, facts verified on the official game page, and community-verified patch notes. Anything else is marked "inferred" and needs in-game testing.
The Hollow — Carve Wood joins Roblox's platform-wide Halloween event
Carve Wood is one of the partnered experiences in **The Hollow**, Roblox's platform-wide Halloween event that started October 22, 2026 (rewards stay claimable until November 2). The game title now carries the official **[The Hollow]** suffix on the Roblox app page, and the latest build shipped October 24. Completing the in-game event questline awards an event badge plus **20 event Tickets**, which can be spent on The Hollow event rewards in the event hub (each partnered game pays the same 20 Tickets). In Carve Wood the quest is reached through **The Hollow button** on the right side of the screen: accept the quest, sit through a cutscene, plant the special event seed (about 4 minutes to grow), harvest it, carve a special sword, then enter the portal and beat a simple boss fight. The Spooky Carver badge sat at zero holders on October 20 and has since been unlocked more than 84,000 times (57,431 in the past day alone, per the badges API), matching the event's launch. Community walkthroughs from October 23-24 (Conor3D and several others) confirm the step order.
Dev: the delayed update 'wasn't actually supposed to be scheduled for today'
Official Discord #announcements (Kinder, 2026-10-20): "The update which was *delayed* wasn't actually supposed to be scheduled for today, you'll understand what I mean by this soon. Just be patient we're working on something awesome..." No date, name or feature list was given, so treat this as a tease only: nothing from it is live, and the October 14 Halloween Haunts & Secrets update is still the current content drop.
Halloween Haunts & Secrets — candy, Halloween Roller and an 18-day calendar
Official Discord #announcements (Kinder, 2026-10-14): the Halloween Haunts & Secrets update is live. Collect **Halloween Candy** from customers, deliveries and trees and spend it at the **Halloween Roller** to discover 7 spooky trees — rollers can be upgraded and limited **Halloween Chips** give extra luck and free pulls. The **Halloween Calendar** runs October 14-31 with 18 daily gifts (play 15 minutes a day for candy, seeds and special items, plus a Coffin Gift on the final day), and 4 **Halloween Gifts** unlock when their countdowns end on November 1. **Sprinkles the Painter** paints your carvings if you feed him Bundles of Candy and can be upgraded to paint faster, and your **Stocker** now has a menu that sends carvings to shelves or the Storage Chest, gives him a break, or hands them to Sprinkles first. Cashiers can hold separate minimum offers for normal customers and for Gold, Rainbow and Alien Frenzy customers. The **Tree Index** was rebuilt with themed pages, 3D previews and discovery rewards that unlock special axes and gadgets (Gravity Coil, Teleporter Device, Mega Tracker). **Friendship Bonds** pay out across 3 days to invited friends including 1,000 Diamonds and a 500X Friendship Frenzy, friends can give or take items from your Storage Chest with separate permissions, and crates have a new opening experience with a reward pool and a summary. Control a Military Halloween leaderboard winners can claim the Warhound tree-chopping shotgun with 66 Halloween Boxes for top placements, and the map gained autumn colours plus a new secret. Nine new badges were registered on October 13-14 (all listed on our badges page), and on October 18 Kinder shared a community video guide to the hidden Secret Grudgula quest inside this update.
Halloween quality of life — doubled Diamonds, a guaranteed Mega after 5,000 seeds
Official Discord #announcements (Kinder, 2026-10-14), the quality-of-life section of the same Halloween post: Diamonds from Cash exchanges and Gem packs are now doubled by default, and Double Diamonds weekends become 4X; after 5,000 seeds without a Mega your next roll guarantees one; friendship trees now grow in 4 hours and are worth 100x more, and inviting a friend awards $10,000 Cash; Charged Energy Capsules stack in trades and carving offers can include up to 2,000 pieces depending on carving size; there is a new Painted filter and search, an optional carving light for dark logs and weather, and Spooky Weather's Haunted mutation chance rose from 40% to 60%. Menus were refreshed for different screen sizes, back-axe options moved into Cosmetics and fully upgraded worker labels are smaller. Fixes: Mega Seeds left on a roller stay Mega after rejoining; new pickups appear in the backpack even when matching items sit in the Storage Chest; backpack refresh after respawning and painting previews were fixed; trading is available again for players with long trade histories; close-range axe hits and planting Mega Seeds in friends' Giga Planters were fixed; investor contracts use the carving you are holding first; seed stacks clear after crushing with clearer batch messages; missing friend-invite rewards and tutorial skips for new Auto Lathe owners were fixed; and locked expansion signs and notifications no longer appear early or hide behind menus.
Kinder teases a huge update — 'probably our biggest yet'
Official Discord #announcements (Kinder, 2026-10-07): "Huge Carve Wood update soon :) probably our biggest yet". No feature list or date was given, but it lines up with the Halloween countdown already running on the in-game Event Board. Fulfilled on October 14, 2026 when the Halloween Haunts & Secrets update shipped — see the entry above.
Control a Military crossover — top players win an exclusive Carve Wood axe skin
Official Discord #announcements (Kinder, 2026-10-05): the top 10 leaderboard players in the studio's new game Control a Military will receive an **exclusive axe skin for Carve Wood** when the event ends (October 12, 18:00 UTC), and the top 3 also get **66x Halloween Boxes** slipped in. If you play both games, that is the window to climb.
Fall Fixes — Halloween axes become tradable, raw wood cap raised to 99,999
Official Discord #announcements (Kinder, 2026-10-03): raw wood now stacks up to 99,999 per wood type and carved wood capacity is 2,000, subject to inventory size limits; Upgrade Chips show their XP percentage and earn full XP from each carve; the Pumpkin Axe, Hallowed Scythe and Sinister Axe can now be traded; Singularity Box and Halloween Box bundles can be gifted to anyone in your server; and Moon's Gem Store gains a "Don't ask again" option for quicker purchases (turn confirmations back on in Gameplay Settings). Fixes: Upgrade Chips keep their XP and level when picked up or moved; your store remembers whether it was open or closed when you rejoin; customers can no longer start or finish a sale while your store is closed; Cashier Settings and Weather Radar menus keep their controls; Stockers stop sinking below the floor; packages load into your own Delivery Truck and trucks wait for loading to finish; and purchases stuck on full Energy Capsule or item stacks now complete on rejoin with rewards allowed over the limit. The same day Kinder ran another Admin Abuse event — the third of the week after September 30 and October 2.
Another $1b game teased — tank RTS playtest; Carve Wood keeps weekly updates
Official Discord #announcements (Kinder, 2026-10-03): a second $1b game releases "within a few days" — a real-time strategy where you drive a tank and defeat the enemy team — and the team is recruiting testers through reactions on the announcement. Kinder explicitly notes that Carve Wood development will continue as normal with the standard weekly updates.
Fall Update — Halloween Box, Tree of Terror, three Halloween axes and Upgrade Chips
Official Discord #announcements (Kinder, 2026-09-30): the limited-time Halloween Box arrives. The Tree of Terror is a new limited Super Secret seed with double odds during Halloween that sells for more than any other Super Secret — findable only for the next 31 days. Spooky Weather joins the weather rotation with new mutations. Three new Halloween axes: the Pumpkin Axe, Hallowed Scythe and Sinister Axe. New Sinister Fertilizer gives a 16x boost for 166 hours. Upgrade Chips: max out your Robot Lathe, carve logs by hand for a rare chance at up to 3 chips, place them in the new Chip Slots to make the lathe faster, carve bonus copies and make perfect carvings — chips level from green to blue to red as the lathe works. Two new trees to roll: Purple Maple (Uncommon) and Ash (Legendary). Tier 3 Lumber Sheds gain a buildable Storage Chest with no storage limit and a Store Button with a big OPEN/CLOSED sign. Also: gift Gift boxes to friends, every 250th Singularity Box roll gives a free bonus Mega Seed spin, friends with Carve Logs permission can use your Robot Lathe, a Back Axe setting shows off your best axe, ground logs are collected after one minute, Galactic Fertilizer now lasts 96 hours, and the new Event Board on your plot shows a Halloween countdown and a sneak peek.
First codes ever — six codes posted in #announcements
Official Discord #announcements (Kinder, 2026-09-29): WATER256, GROWGOLD, PAINTPARTY, POWERUP, MOONGEMS and CHIPCHOP — the first codes Carve Wood has ever released. The post listed no rewards and no expiry date, so redeem each code in-game to confirm what it gives.
Exclusive Box removal announced — final chance at the Exclusive Axe
Official Discord #announcements (Kinder, 2026-09-29): "The Exclusive box will be removed with this update — final chance to obtain the Exclusive Axe before it's gone," followed by "save your money, new box replacing Exclusive tomorrow." The box left the game when the Fall Update shipped on September 30, 2026, so the Exclusive Axe is no longer obtainable from boxes; it remains tradable between players.
Halloween countdown and an unnamed crystal tree spotted on the Event Board
Developer screenshots posted on September 29 (hours before the Fall Update) show the in-game Event Board carrying a HALLOWEEN UPDATE countdown of roughly two weeks — pointing at a further Halloween-phase landing around mid-October — plus a preview of a glowing blue-black crystal-like tree. The Event Board itself went live with the September 30 Fall Update, which confirms it shows "a Halloween countdown and a sneak peek." Neither the countdown's exact target date nor the crystal tree's name has been officially announced — treat both as teasers.
v1.10.1 Workshop Tune-Up — wrong-log fix with compensation; Black Hole Axes tradable
Official Discord #announcements (Kinder, 2026-09-24): a Titles tab arrives in Settings; carvings with matching wood, mutations and quality stack in your backpack and hotbar (Mega carvings stay separate); Black Hole Axes can now be traded alongside Exclusive Axes, including extra copies; finished painted carvings sell for the correct amount; mobile players can tap the seed reroll lever; unclaimed Wood Chipper rewards collect automatically; and hovering over Cash, Wood Chips or Diamonds shows your exact balance. Key fix: Black Hole, Anomaly, Tornado and Time trees were giving the wrong logs — affected players can claim replacement wood for estimated losses in the compensation inbox. Later the same day Kinder followed up: anyone who lost a Tornado, Anomaly, Black Hole or Time log should rejoin and check the inventory, because the lost items were granted back automatically (a further hotfix restored missing compensation items that same afternoon).
Paint & Discovery Update — Paint Machine, third plot, Singularity Box and Cosmic Tornado Tree
Official Discord #announcements (Kinder, 2026-09-23): the Paint Machine (230,000 Wood Chips) decorates carvings with colorful stencil challenges, with Paint Bucket refills from Moon's store, delivery rewards and research. A third plot area unlocks three new Wood Chip planters. Research quests award a Time Tree Seed "and tons more". The Singularity Box offers Black Hole themed items and a brand-new Cosmic Tornado Tree arrives. Ten permanent upgrades cover chopping, watering, cheaper Seed Rerollers, faster shoppers and teamwork; the Auto Collect gamepass lets you choose which seed rarities to collect automatically after rerolling. A Weather Radar shows upcoming weather and can start Cosmic or Harvest Moon events for Wood Chips; Harvest Moon, Halloween and Thanksgiving events add Harvestblessed, Haunted and Bountiful tree mutations. Mutation Recall lands in Moon's store to remove mutations without losing growth. Also: gift gamepasses, the Every Gamepass bundle and Forever Pack rewards; watch videos for Gold Frenzy rewards with an Alien Frenzy reward every 12 hours; a new animated loading screen; 999 raw logs storable per wood type; Energy Capsules stack in one slot; Moon's store refresh prices rise 25% per refresh (reset after six hours); and trees show colored mutation names. Trading-related fix: only Exclusive Axes can now be traded, protecting axes that cannot be unlocked again.
Post-Admin Abuse week: full-inventory trade error acknowledged, fix promised
Official Discord #announcements: Kinder ran an Admin Abuse event on September 20 (the recurring community chaos event, announced the same morning). The day after, Kinder posted "Fixing soon!" over a screenshot of the in-game error "Your trade history or saved inventory is full. Please contact an admin." — acknowledging the post-trading-update inventory-full error players have been hitting and promising a fix. No patch has shipped as of September 22.
Sneak round-up — autumn trees, frozen trees and a paint feature teased
Official Discord #announcements teasers (September 17-19): invertedreality posts an image of maple-colored autumn trees (purple, red and orange foliage) on September 17, and Kinder follows with a screenshot of three glowing blue crystal-like trees in three growth stages on September 18. On September 19 Kinder asks "paint?" over a screenshot of two painted vase-style decorations, and invertedreality posts a top-down view of a factory building next to a glowing table device with a 0:00 timer and a purple crystal. None of these are named or live yet — treat as teasers for upcoming seasonal trees, a painting feature and a timed machine.
Roblox platform bug broke the game — patch shipped
Official Discord #announcements (Kinder, 2026-09-18): "Roblox broke the whole game" — a Roblox-side bug took Carve Wood down, and Kinder shipped a patch the same day to combat it, confirming the game works again ("now it all works if you play"). Nothing content-related in this hotfix.
Trading & Inventory Update — player-to-player trading arrives
Official Discord #announcements (Kinder, 2026-09-17): player-to-player trading is live — send trade requests, exchange items across six slots per side, preview every offer and confirm before a trade completes. Matching Watering Cans now share inventory slots and show quantity and boost details, and Sacred or rarer seeds require confirmation before they can be used in the Fertilizer Maker. Fixes: Delivery Trucks no longer get stuck on Returning Soon after a missed trip and loose delivery boxes return to the delivery area; seeds missing from the backpack are restored when equipped; compensation rewards can be claimed with a full inventory; weather mutations appear immediately on existing trees including fully grown ones; players with enough Gems for a second Watering Can no longer get an unnecessary Robux Gem pack offer; and loose Energy Capsules no longer spawn beside the player spawn after rejoining.
Update delayed past September 12 — next update set for Wednesday
Official Discord #announcements (invertedreality, 2026-09-13): the update planned for September 12 is delayed because Kinder is away for RDC (the Roblox Developer Conference) and has not had as much time to focus on development — both developers apologized for the wait. On September 15 Kinder followed up with "upd on wed", putting the next update on Wednesday, September 16. Earlier in the week (September 9) invertedreality also posted two teaser screenshots of large glowing trees — one golden eclipse-toned, one purple void-toned — both unnamed so far.
v1.8.3 — Bigger Batches & Better Rewards
Official Discord #announcements (Kinder, 2026-09-08): a Statistics tab arrives in Settings to browse balances, records and wood totals; Packaging Machine requests can be refreshed for 1,000 Wood Chips; admins can send compensation gifts and Admin Abuse events can instantly grow all planted trees including Mega Trees; leaderboard bans keep banned accounts out of global rankings. Quality of life: Mega Logs sell for more, the Fertilizer Maker accepts seed batches, the Wood Chipper processes multiple matching logs or seeds at once, valuable seeds pay more Wood Chips, the Mega Sprinkler refills with multiple Bubble Logs at once, cash/Gem/Wood Chip package rewards are at least 25% higher (Cosmic and Transcendent requests pay 2.5x), Delivery Truck rewards always match the Alien Frenzy rate, Seed Recalls recover planted Mega Seeds, Alien Invasions can run every 24 hours instead of 72, Alien Seeds become Transcendent, Moon's Gem Store can be refreshed for 100 Gems or 5,000 Wood Chips, and new settings cover camera shake, confetti and the lathe reticle. Fixes: Secret/Super Secret/Mega Seeds are protected from crushing, other players can no longer take your packages or Energy Capsules, package disappearing/duplication on pickup is fixed, and Packaging requests no longer ask for event-only seeds and logs. Follows the developer's September 7 apology for launch bugs with compensation via tickets.
Dev clarification — some Seed Index trees are not obtainable yet
Official Discord #announcements (Kinder): "a few of the trees in the index were never meant to be added this update, which is why they are unobtainable" — followed by an apology. In other words, the in-game Seed Index currently shows trees you cannot actually get in this build; the developer did not name which ones, so treat unobtainable Index entries as future content for now, not a bug on your end. In the same session he said he would "fix loads of the bugs" and get to the feedback players left that night.
v1.8.1 bug-fix patch
Same-day fix pass after the mega update: Daily Rewards improved with better seeds, Fertilizer, Wood Chips and Diamond rewards of 10-15; the Login Token shop now offers Wood Chips, Golden Fertilizer, a Lunar Seed and one Exclusive Box for 14 tokens; the Alien Invasion confirmation opens with a single tap; Fertilizer Maker seed drops work within 20 studs with nearby planters prioritised; Forever Pack free rewards no longer lock after Robux purchases; Alien Invasion growth boosts fixed for players without an Alien Reactor; planting timers no longer jump backwards while growth boosts are active.
Mega update — 97 changes: Mega Seeds, factory, Alien Reactor and five new trees
The self-described MASSIVE update lands (official Discord #announcements, 2026-09-06, "admin abuse and update"): discover rare Mega Seeds that grow four times bigger inside the Giga Planter and harvest oversized Mega Logs; build the Mega Sprinkler for 8x Mega Tree growth, with regular Bubble Logs adding two minutes of water and Mega Bubble Logs a full hour; find and craft Charged Energy Capsules for the Electrical Pedestal and supercharge Mega Tree growth up to 900x; build the Alien Reactor and launch a five-minute Alien 1000x Frenzy; expand into a buildable multi-floor factory with three new Planters; fill rotating Packaging Machine requests, create Packages and ship them off in the Delivery Truck for rewards; five new trees arrive — Night Blossom, Hyperwave and Nightmare Bloom are named so far; the Compost Bin passively produces and improves three Fertilizers while you are away; employees gain five Prestige levels, the Cashier is customisable and a new Sign Spinner attracts bigger crowds; Moon's Store gains hourly stock refreshes, an exact Coin-to-Gem exchange, more showcase Vases and personal statistics. Wood carving gets an optional mouse reticle and adjustable target guides, plus improved Mega Log carving on both Lathes.
Huge September 6 update teased
Official Discord #announcements: the developer posts "Huge update tomorrow" (2026-09-05), pointing at a large September 6 drop. It follows the September 4 "more upgrades" tease of the employee upgrade menu (Cashier, Stocker, Robotic Lathe) and the Mega Doom Mythical tease, so expect those to land in it.
Employee upgrades teased — Cashier, Stocker, Robotic Lathe
Official Discord #announcements: the developer posts an in-game screenshot of a new "Upgrade Employees" menu — Cashier (faster checkouts and earnings), Stocker (speed and carry capacity) and the Robotic Lathe (carving speed) — captioned "more upgrades". Expect it with the Saturday, September 5 update.
New Mythical teased — Mega Doom
Official Discord #announcements: the developer posts an in-game screenshot showing "Mega Doom", labeled Mythical, carried on the player's back in the village. No caption or release date was given; it is expected to be part of the September 5 update alongside the previously teased Fertilizer, fertilizer maker, potted plants and new store.
Next update delayed to Saturday, September 5
The developer delays the next update to Saturday "because lots of people asked". Sneak peeks from the days before show Fertilizer, a fertilizer maker, potted plants and a new store — expect them with the September 5 drop.
Big update — 8 new trees, Moon's Store and Seed Crusher
Official Discord #announcements (Kinder, 2026-08-27). Eight brand-new trees: Withered Rose, Lunar, Magical Palm, Solar, Starfall, Voidstar, Scorching Mushroom and Kelp. Moon's Store adds daily Gem quests, personalized stock and special items. Boost seed luck for everyone in your server and collect Luck Orbs during admin-triggered showers, with brand-new Admin Abuse features. Unlock the Seed Crusher, display discovered trees inside showcase Vases, and expand your Water Tower with a second Watering Can slot. Customer business upgrades: Gold Customers, larger groups, friend traffic bonuses and rare Rainbow Customers. Customize your Cashier's minimum offers and upgrade automatic sales. Choose between Circular, Straight and Wedge chisels. Plus improved leaderboards, shop displays, purchase delivery, tree harvesting, inventory behavior and plenty of fixes. This is now the current live build. (The developer later announced the next update would be delayed until Saturday, 2026-09-05.)
