Today marks the first anniversary of Wayward's Steam debut. Of course, I, and now, "we" have been working on Wayward much longer than that; although, the exact start date and therefore real anniversary is a bit tougher to track down. So, let's go with April 22nd, the new semi-official Wayward anniversary day!

Let's take a look back at how far Wayward has come:

Now that's some prime Wayward nostalgia! Is anybody interested in a commentated version of something like this?

We just released beta 2.3.3 yesterday and have already got started on 2.3.4, which will probably wrap the 2.3.x series up once released. Then, on to bigger and better things in 2.4! Stay tuned for our 2.4 wishlist discussion thread and poll coming up soon.

As always, we thank you for your continued support with our project and hope it continues to grow at a steady pace for years to come.

Happy Waywarding!

We're pleased tonight to release the third patch in the 2.3 series.

We have some pretty exciting stuff, including some brand new features and many improvements/balancing tweaks. We may have went a little overboard this week.

Some of these changes and additions may seem a bit odd for a minor patch, but they are actually part of our ongoing not-so-secret multiplayer testing that we are now actively developing for a future major release.

Have fun and continue reporting any issues!

• Added sleeping animations and graphics.

• Added difficulty rating in reputation tooltip based on reputation level.
• You can now rename doodads directly (instead of having to pick them up as an item first).

• Added transition effects to stat bar changes and animations for stat reductions.

• Added ability for dismantle to work with items within containers in inventory.

• The action menu now updates as you turn directions.

• Plants will now spread to grass tiles again (except for non-spreading plants and growing grass).
• Tilling grass will now attempt to dig it up.
• Changed the tree bark to stripped bark recipe to be a dismantle action instead. You now receive two stripped bark on dismantle.
• Music no longer fades out/in when browsing the changelog, returning to the main menu, saving, and other times when it's not necessary.
• Orb of Malign has been renamed to Orb of Influence.
• Improved the skill description for mining to include digging (and new tilling inclusion).
• The same sound effect can no longer play within 100ms of each other.
• All official keybinds now include proper spacing between words. "LeftHand", "RightHand", "StarterQuest" are now "Left Hand, "Right Hand" and "Starter Quest".
• You can now import multiple save games from the Workshop at the time (currently only works for newer save games).
• Fixed some equip/unequip grammar. Minor text fixes!

• Fixed occurrences of items not burning when thrown into lava. (Thanks cxkis!)
• Fixed an issue where slimes could move positions on death. (Thanks GauHelldragon!)
• Fixed an issue where some items could be created without proper disassembly ingredients/components (mostly waterskins).
• Fixed instances where items that decayed into other items were getting incorrect weights. (Thanks GauHelldragon!)
• Fixed torches to decay into charcoal instead of ash (to be consistent with their on burn property). (Thanks GauHelldragon!)
• Fixed a bug that did not take into account a container's contents when determining the weight when throwing it (for damage/restrictions).
• Fixed switching a torch to another hand extinguishing it. (Thanks Adrien S Enzo!)
• Fixed a control freeze that occurred when you received a hint at the same time as closing the hint/help window.
• Fixed an issue where some messages were being removed/replaced when scrolling up in the message window (when populating past messages).
• Fixed an issue that would potentially spawn creatures in wrong positions and cause incorrect particle locations when throwing items into deep water.
• Fixed dismantling/disassembly only giving a skill gain if the skill used wasn't defaulted to tinkering.
• Fixed mods not loading properly if they had special characters in the names (such as "#").
• Fixed sound positions for creature actions (they came from the creature rather than the tile with the action).
• Fixed a rare case where the hint/help window would be incorrectly sized when starting a new game (if a hint displayed on death).
• Fixed the craftable/uncraftable separator being visible when filtering removes either section.

• Woven fabric now requires 8 cordage items instead of 5 string to craft.
• Feather and cotton bedrolls no longer require specifically woven fabric or cotton fabric respectively (any fabric will work now), but increased their required feather/cotton amount.
• The hammock now requires a frame. Durability has been increased to 50 (from 25), requires 1 less rope (but an extra string), and requires 2 poles. Skill level reduced from advanced to intermediate.
• Replaced strength/weight restrictions when throwing heavy items with stamina reductions based on the item's weight.
• Reduced overall damage caused by item's weight when throwing (due to other throwing balancing changes). Container contents weight is halved in this calculation.
• There is now a minimum of 1 damage caused by throwing any item (on hit).
• Increased the weight of scales slightly.
• The mining skill is now used in tilling (with a small chance at failing a till).
• Increased health on grey wolves and sandcats slightly.
• Slightly less reputation (benignity) is gained on hostile creature kills.

• Added a KeyBind dictionary for language mods.
• Added language extensions, a language json file that provides default translations for mod-added dictionaries or entries.

It's that time again! Patch night!

We're coming at you with another minor patch in the 2.3.x series, this time focusing even heavier on bugs with some more improvements to last week's item weight changes.

Our plan currently is to do these weekly minor updates until our priority list has been exhausted or we think it's time to move on to working on beta 2.4. It's looking like we will have a 2.3.3 and possibly a 2.3.4 as well at our current rate.

I've also had a few questions about the team and development schedule in general as of late, so I just wanted to clear some of those questions up:

Wayward is a hobby project, and all the development happens in our free time. It's a big game with an even bigger todo list. We are constantly improving and adding to it and have no plans to stop that. Thanks for all the support ya'll!

• Added a confirm screen to see if users want to update their language settings when enabling a language mod. This change only applies to languages provided with the language.json format.

• When the new weight system detects incorrect item weights, it will no longer re-roll the weight, but rather set it to the minimum/maximum based on what it found. (Thanks Skarn22!)
• Added clearer separation between craftables and non-craftables in the crafting menu. (Thanks Amax!)
• Renamed the "Unlocked Time" sort to "Discovered Time".
• Chickens now accept insects as offerings. (Thanks GauHelldragon!)

• Fixed a bug where fuel, tinder, and kindling were either being consumed or damaged (on fail), even if they weren't being used to start a fire. (Thanks Skarn22!)
• Creatures will now swap positions with the player if they try enter/exit an entrance at the same time as them, instead of going on top of them. (Thanks Adrien S. Enzo!)
• Fixed an error when trying to dig back up a cave entrance found in water. (Thanks Bot Silver 1!)
• Fixed not using your selected hand(s) when hitting a locked chest and producing particles on the player instead of on the chest.
• Fixed the botany skill not providing extra benefits when consuming flower seeds, grass seeds, pineapples, coconuts, flower petals, thistles, poison ivy leaves, tall grass seeds or acorns. (Thanks Grub!)
• Fixed "Alternate Context Menu" option not working inside containers or quickslots. (Thanks Amax!)
• Fixed the "using your bare hands to..." death message adding in numbers (message IDs) instead of proper english text at the end.
• Fixed an issue where some mods would be grayed out improperly in the mods menu. (Thanks Amax!)
• Fixed container windows being able to be resized to a width that would cut off the bottom buttons/controls.
• Fixed the quest for getting the Stone Water Still materials requiring more rocks than it should have in the Starter Quest. (Thanks Obbe C!)
• Fixed a slight pop-up/flash when selecting different hairstyles in the character customization.
• Fixed the map graphic lagging behind when the map window was resized.
• Fixed custom hairstyles not loading within the character customization screen if loaded as a local modification.
• Fixed an issue that prevented filled clay jugs to get the proper maximum and minimum weight for the item weight checks (added in 2.3.1).
• Fixed an issue that resulted in shallow sea water forming when placing tiles over fresh water. (Thanks Morning River!)
• Fixed particles showing through the ground (z-axis) when FOV is disabled. (Thanks Bot Silver 1!)
• Fixed an issue that would lead to a frozen loading screen when uninstalling old/broken/corrupt Workshop mods.
• Fixed a few missing words in the hints section.
• The Starter Quest window can no longer be resized to no effect and fixed a small issue that would resize the window with a smaller height than should of been possible on occasion.

• You no longer start at -64,000 reputation when in daily challenge mode, but rather, a lower randomized amount.
• Vine weight reduced down from 0.7 to 0.3 (to match palm leaves). This should normalize more item weights that use fabric/cloth/cordage.
• Skill bonuses on consumables/edibles are now randomized per stat.
• Skeletal Mages now require line of sight to cast their spells.

• Added a 'stylesheet' property to the mod.json which can be used to append stylesheets automatically.
• A variety of hooks are no longer missing from references. (Thanks Amax!)
• Mods can now disable resizing and/or set their width/height to "auto" when using createDialog.

• Removed the concept of "untoggleable" mods - all mods can now be enabled/disabled, regardless of their content.
• Moved crafting tab style rules so that any dialog can make use of them. The styles are applied to any element with the "tab" class.
• Added missing corpse translation strings to english.json. The language serializer has been updated to export this corpse dictionary.

• You can no longer attempt to resize the window's height to no effect.

Hey all,

We have a small patch for you tonight with a handful of fixes and improvements. We are just getting started on the 2.3.x series of minor patches, but we wanted to get this one out quicker as it includes some priority fixes for modders/modifications.

We have also reworked a lot of weight systems in the game - making sure items stick to their normal ranges, especially when we change things in between versions. Things were quickly getting out of hand, especially with all the iron changes recently.

You may also notice some "thanks" at the end of fixes. We have started keeping track and crediting bug reports. It's no secret we rely heavily on the community for bug discovery. It makes sense to credit you all with finding any bugs. We have some additional ideas for this in the future as well.

Stay tuned for more!

• You will no longer see unloadable mods in the game save tooltip. It will only show required mods to load the save properly.

• Fixed rare instances where items dropped via loot, or created through mods would result in heavier items than should have been possible.
• Fixed several instances where dismantled items could produce items that did not conform to normal item weight ranges. (Thanks Grub!)
• Fixed an issue where containers would not accept their exact maximum weight. (Thanks Morning River!)
• Fixed a "Failed to load changelog" error when browsing the changelog section.
• Fixed the crafting tab showing dismantle items at the bottom of the window on rare instances.
• Fixed an issue that would result in more space being added in between the Starter Quest icon and the rest of the icons at the top the more you created new games.

• Fixed an issue where you could not reference modded items as recipe components for other modded items.
• Renamed requiredMods (outdated) to dependencies in the modding guide. (Thanks Amax!)

• Nimbus is now craftable (and uses the Flying skill).

We're happy to announce the release of Wayward beta 2.3 "Expression".

Beta 2.3 marks the biggest major release to date, with over 180 additions, fixes, and improvements. And even then, we sadly couldn't fit everything we wanted to put in due to time constraints.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2YiBVus-vU
Some bigger additions this release are:

• Character customization with import/modding support
• New game menu with seed selection/game name
• Malignity is now “Reputation” with changes/improvements
• New tilling and gardening changes
• Spatial audio
• Hand selection for gathering/combat

A lot of time was also spent developing a certain yet-to-be-complete feature which we kind have been teasing about in our Discord and in the last newsletter. Well, since somebody is going to find the references in the code sooner or later: multiplayer is now planned and in development. We can't promise when this will be implemented, but it is coming... "soon".

As always with major releases, we plan on supporting the 2.3 series with multiple faster patches and releases as the bugs/issues come in from the community.

Wayward is 15% off from March 31st to April 7th, 2017 on Steam, Humble Store, and our Website!

Happy Waywarding!

Full changelog below:

• Added character customization. You can now choose a hair style, hair color, and skin tone. Included with this is the ability to import and export characters.
• Added a new game menu that will allow you to choose a game save name, world seed, and character customization.
• Added multiple new hair styles with small improvements to the old ones (more detail).
• Fertile soil is now crafted and placed down to till and plant things in (instead of placing it over plants to increase fertility).
• Added hoes and tilling functionality.
• Spatial audio has been implemented. Sound effects will now sound more distant or directional, based on the source position.
• Iron ore now weighs less and have more material per vein. This allows smaller iron crafts (lockpicks, bullets, arrowheads, etc.) to be dissembled again and take less resources. Iron craft requirements have been re-adjusted to accommodate this change resulting in many iron items weighing less.
• Tongs have a new "Grasp" use that will allow you to pick-up items in fire/lava without hurting or burning yourself.
• Separated out the pickaxe functionality from the stone axe. They are now two separate items. Also added an iron/wrought iron axe.
• A changelog section has been added to the main menu, with support for viewing the current and previous changelogs.
• Three new milestones added for -64,000/+64,000 reputation and animal taming.
• The turn count is now listed in the malignity tooltip and in the highscore list.
• You can now sort crafts by unlocked time.
• Redesigned the skills and milestone dialogs with progress bars.
• You will now be interrupted during resting or sleeping if a creature is damaging a wall or doodad within 5 tiles of you.
• An "Un-equip all" button has been added to the equipment window.
• You can now dismantle gravel into a pile of sand and stones. Its weight has been increased to accommodate this change.
• Added a new creature with unique interactions.
• Ash can now be placed down as a tile.
• Containers now save their sorting after closing.
• Creatures will now enter/exit caves if your reputation is lower than their spawning malignity (unless tamed).
• You are now allowed to drop items on some doodads. If the doodad is lit, it will cause fire to propagate on the items if they are flammable.
• "Keep Sort Active" will now also apply to containers.
• Skeletal mages spawn skeletal remains instead of stone walls.
• There is now a keybind to open the dismantle tab of the crafting dialog. The crafting keybind will open the crafting tab. Either key will close the dialog if the tab is already open.
• Added a crafted reputation (malignity) rate in item tooltips.
• You can now select which hand to use for attacking/gathering now. You will no longer attack/gather with both hands simultaneously.

We're happy to announce the release of Wayward beta 2.3 "Expression".

Beta 2.3 marks the biggest major release to date, with over 180 additions, fixes, and improvements. And even then, we sadly couldn't fit everything we wanted to put in due to time constraints.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2YiBVus-vU
Some bigger additions this release are:

• Character customization with import/modding support
• New game menu with seed selection/game name
• Malignity is now “Reputation” with changes/improvements
• New tilling and gardening changes
• Spatial audio
• Hand selection for gathering/combat

A lot of time was also spent developing a certain yet-to-be-complete feature which we kind have been teasing about in our Discord and in the last newsletter. Well, since somebody is going to find the references in the code sooner or later: multiplayer is now planned and in development. We can't promise when this will be implemented, but it is coming... "soon".

As always with major releases, we plan on supporting the 2.3 series with multiple faster patches and releases as the bugs/issues come in from the community.

Wayward is 15% off from March 31st to April 7th, 2017 on Steam, Humble Store, and our Website!

Happy Waywarding!

Full changelog below:

• Added character customization. You can now choose a hair style, hair color, and skin tone. Included with this is the ability to import and export characters.
• Added a new game menu that will allow you to choose a game save name, world seed, and character customization.
• Added multiple new hair styles with small improvements to the old ones (more detail).
• Fertile soil is now crafted and placed down to till and plant things in (instead of placing it over plants to increase fertility).
• Added hoes and tilling functionality.
• Spatial audio has been implemented. Sound effects will now sound more distant or directional, based on the source position.
• Iron ore now weighs less and have more material per vein. This allows smaller iron crafts (lockpicks, bullets, arrowheads, etc.) to be dissembled again and take less resources. Iron craft requirements have been re-adjusted to accommodate this change resulting in many iron items weighing less.
• Tongs have a new "Grasp" use that will allow you to pick-up items in fire/lava without hurting or burning yourself.
• Separated out the pickaxe functionality from the stone axe. They are now two separate items. Also added an iron/wrought iron axe.
