Taming Defense Update 1 — Launch Patch

Update 1 is the launch foundation for Taming Defense on Roblox by BaseBuddies. The official game page marks this release as live and outlines the core loop: survive stacked days, tame pets, expand your base with Gold and Ruby, and endure The Lich once your calendar passes Day 20. This article collects every public note from that page plus wiki cross-links so you know what changed and what to do first.

Headline features

365-day survival goal

The win condition advertised on Roblox is surviving 365 in-game days. Days advance as you play through the loop—gather, build, tame, and weather nights. The goal is marathon progression rather than a single afternoon sprint. Pace your Ruby spends and pet investments using How to Play and the Wiki Overview economy section so you still have tools for late-year difficulty spikes.

The Lich from Day 20

Before Day 20, nights are dangerous but manageable. Starting on Day 20 and every night after, The Lich actively hunts the player. That milestone forces real base defenses, pet peel, and hotbar discipline. Review Controls Cheatsheet so Shift lock, M1, R, and hotbar 1–6 are automatic before your first Lich night. Pet command keys (V/Q/T/U/Z) should be configured using Pet Commands during daylight test fights.

Gold and Ruby economies

Update 1 cements Gold as the broad progression currency and Ruby as the premium lane for high-impact upgrades. Gold fuels everyday walls, crafting, and pet upkeep; Ruby accelerates key power spikes. Farm routes and spend priorities are covered in Guides and summarized on Wiki Overview. After redeeming codes, check inventory with B and slot rewards on hotbar 1–6.

Co-op and BaseBuddies identity

The experience is built for online co-op—share gathering, delegate pet roles, and cover night watch rotations. BaseBuddies operates the official community group linked on Links. Follow group announcements for code drops and mini-patch notes between major updates.

Community like milestones

The Roblox page tracks community like goals with code rewards at milestones:

Milestone	Reward type
4,000 likes	Code unlock (see Codes for active string)
5,000 likes	Code unlock (see Codes for active string)

Like counters move with the live game page—redeem on Codes the same day you log in after a milestone hits. If a code fails, confirm spelling, server region, and whether BaseBuddies rotated the string in a hotfix noted here or on Updates Hub.

Free launch code

The game page mentions a complimentary code for early supporters:

• !THANK2500KLIKE — free gift bundle (wording on the official page uses the exclamation prefix).

Copy exactly from Codes to avoid Roblox chat eating characters. Redeem in the in-game code UI described in the codes hub. This string celebrates community growth and may expire when Replace notices appear in patch follow-ups.

Controls reference shipped with Update 1

Update 1 documents PC defaults mirrored on Controls Cheatsheet:

• Ctrl run, B inventory, G pet menu, X swap hotbar, F interact
• M1 attack/use, R aim/rotate, Shift shift lock
• Pets: V/Q/T/U/Z plus 1–6
• Build: M1/R/X
• Combat: M1/R/Shift/1–6

Deep timing notes live in Controls guide.

Recommended post-update checklist

1. Redeem !THANK2500KLIKE on Codes if you have not already.
2. Walk through day-night cycle once in a private server.
3. Mark Day 19 on your mental calendar—finish walls and trap lanes before Lich debut.
4. Assign pets using Players Hub guidance and test commands at dusk.
5. Bookmark Updates Hub for the next BaseBuddies release.

Known focus areas for future patches

BaseBuddies has room to expand biomes, pet rarity tiers, and seasonal events. Update 1 intentionally keeps scope readable: one primary antagonist schedule, dual currencies, and social like goals. When Update 2 ships, expect a sibling article here rather than edits buried in this page.
