Today we are releasing what is most likely the last minor patch in the 2.10.x series. We have been working on this release while also working on our next major update to the game, which is why this took a bit longer to get out. We thought it might be better if we do the last minor releases like this going forward so there's less of a gap in between releases. There's plenty of quality of life improvements here and some substantial balance changes among all the bug fixes.

Enjoy! Let us know if you run into any issues. There will be more news to share on beta 2.11.0 coming soon!

Bonus Promo: Come hang out on the Discord! Although we have a smaller community, it’s still the most active spot for Wayward discussion, especially in periods of less activity like this.

Bonus Tip: If you are attempting to kill a creature and melee attacking isn't working out for you, "there's more than one way to skin a cat", or probably giant rat in this case. Here are a few other options:

1. Use traps. Setting down multiple traps and guiding the creatures into them will keep you safe from damage while dealing it to them instead. The damage and success are based on your "Trapping" skill.
2. Craft or find better armor and gear. Mitigate as much damage to yourself while dealing as much damage as possible to your foes.
3. Used ranged weapons or throwing. Slings, bows, spears. All can be used to deal damage while at a distance. The damage and accuracy are based on your "Tactics" or "Throwing" skills.
4. Tame other creatures and have them fight for you! If you have tamed creatures, they will protect their master as long as they are content.

• Added an option to disable UI opacity (for better performance).

Hey all,

This week's focus has been on fixing up the remaining reported issues and working on balance changes.

The balance changes mostly consist of aberrant and high-tier creature damage. Previously, they were dealing too little damage due to skill/gear power creep and previous balance changes. This should straighten out the issues spotted by several players. Let me know if you spot anything out of whack with these changes as they are quite significant in some cases/scenarios. The intention is to require you to think about what types of armor to use in certain temperature scenarios against certain types of creatures.

We also added in two new magical item properties. They were added due to an issue spotted where in some instances, items could roll an incorrect amount of properties just because not enough could be applied to certain items. These are generic enough that they should fit most items; thus, solving the issue.

View the changelog for more information on these and more.

Bonus Promo: Tons of work has gone into the unofficial Wiki as of late. Check out some of the recent changes here.

Bonus Tip: You can grab items out of fire/lava using tongs or while wearing the proper hand protection without getting burned. This is useful in some cases where you are picking up items that have caught on fire or are creating charcoal intentionally.

• Added a new magical property, "Offering", which increases taming length when used on creatures. Aberrant creatures will be tamed 100% of the time when using a matching item that the creature accepts.
• Added a new magical property "Hurling", that increases an item's thrown damage, range, and reduces stamina usage.

• Puddles will now provide bonuses for plant growth/speed (and fertility in some cases) unless it is seawater.
• Named items now appear by name in item lists, rather than by what they are. (Thanks Killpocalips!)
• With the inclusion of the new magical properties, there should no longer be rare instances of magical items rolling with the incorrect amount of properties.
• Highlighted UI/item elements are now animated in a performant way when disabling UI effects as to not sacrifice usability.
• Ranged attacks will now reveal the range the item traveled.
• Thrown messages will now reveal the stamina cost in throwing the item.

• Increased mid to end game creature's damage significantly.
• Reduced the damage bonus that aberrant creatures had against resistances/vulnerabilities.
• Removed the creature damage cap for aberrant creatures, but reduced their maximum damage output slightly (due to other damage changes).
• Removed blunt resistances on iron armor.
• Reduced blunt vulnerabilities and increased base defense on bronze armor.
• Reduced the goat's minimum damage slightly.
• Decreased rarity of blackplate items.

TARS fans will also get a kick out of this release with a heavy overhaul and a giant bunch of new features. Wayward technological singularity is closely approaching!

The beta 2.10.x patches will be slowing down coming up as we focus more on our next big major release, but we still have a bit to go yet!

Bonus Tip: You can quickly equip items in your inventory or containers by hovering over them and pressing "E", you can quickly drop them by pressing "Q", and you can quickly move them (to an opened container for example) by pressing "Shift + Left Click". These binds can all be changed in the options.

Bonus Promo: Anketam has created a new spoiler-filled, "Mastercrafting Guide" available on Steam here. It goes over the requirements and strategies to create mastercrafted items. Check it out if you don't mind the spoilers!

More to come in beta 2.10.6!

Bonus Promo: Come hang out on the Discord! Although we have a smaller community, it's still the most active spot for Wayward discussion.

Bonus Tip: Resting and sleeping work differently when playing a multiplayer game or setting the mode to "real-time" turns, in that performing the rest/sleep actions will no longer progress time (or pass turns). Its use is shifted towards a regenerative role exclusively in these modes.

• Added a new magical component for altering magical stat/skill/reputation properties to a different stat/skill/reputation, instead of only being able to re-roll them to a different property entirely.

Hey everybody! This week we have another patch in the 2.10.x series that helps smooth some more issues out, but also adds quite a few balance changes in regards to bonuses for further travels, reputation, and aberrant creatures. There's still a few things on our list to address, but this should fix up some of the major stuff spotted this week.

Take a peek in the changelog below!

Bonus Promo: Struggling with getting started in Wayward? Check out my new Beginner's Guide video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G2_PGmSxU0

Check out the YouTube description or video chapters to skip to specific sections. Let me know if it is missing anything you are having issues with!

Bonus Tip: Have you spawned on a smaller island with not a lot of resources? You are likely on an offshoot of a much bigger island. Traveling east is usually a pretty safe bet in these scenarios. You can either swim (with a lot of stamina) or create a raft and explore the seas awhile until you come across a much bigger island. Here's a visual of that:

• Newly exported steam workshop save games will be more reliable when importing the save.
• Added "bird droppings" for chickens and penguins to use instead of "animal droppings". (Thanks Matthew Cline!)
• Snakes will now accept eggs as offerings.
• Buttons in non-item dialogs now appear with a background, distinguishing them from the dialog they're in.

• Increased the odds of digging up better chest types the further you are away from your starting island when doing treasure maps.
• Increased the chance of quality creature loot/corpse resources the further away you are from your starting island.
• Decreased the threshold at which freezing/overheating can occur.

• Successfully taming a creature through offering will now provide benignity (on top of skill use bonus).
• Taming aberrant creatures is now harder when not using offering/items. Previous, the difficulty was unchanged from normal creatures.
• Taming aberrant creatures now provides double the reputation/benignity gain.
• Increased difficulty of taming aberrant creatures via offering slightly.

• Fixed item decay maximums not counting until observed. (Thanks Azhukar!)
• Fixed save game mods importing the same save each game load. This fix only applies to newly created save game mods.

• Fixed incorrect creature HP upgrades from old versions.
• Fixed incorrect modded creature upgrades from old versions.
• Fixed seeds being exported with commas or other localized characters.

• Wayward now ships with a "bin/wayward.cmd" file on Windows x64. Adding the bin folder to your PATH allows you to use the CLI synchronously via the "wayward" command (no extension required.)

• Improved performance of walking to tile. (Thanks Amax!)
• Fixed InputManager producing too many logs.

Another week, another round of fixes and improvements! Oh, and also a few new things thrown in for good measure.

Bonus Promo: The feature voting page has been updated to include additions from beta 2.10 and add a couple dozen new frequently suggested additions/changes or completely new ideas from us to be voted on.

Bonus Tip: Solar stills need containers attached to them to collect water. That is all.

Hey there,

We have another batch of fixes ready for ya'll. We are still working on more improvements, additions, and balance tweaks as well, but our priority will continue to be fixing up any bugs and major issues that get discovered for the next little while. Please keep them coming!

Bonus Tip: Did you know you can inspect items (by default with Shift + Right Click) and hover over certain properties to get more information on what they do?



Bonus Promo: Happy Wayward Day! Five years ago today, we made the choice to release Wayward on Steam to garner support and to build our community. At that time, while still a full game, there was limited content and not much point for the progression in the game. Years later, we have thousands of new items, creatures, terrain types, plants, and other objects collectively. We now have an end-game, and tons more replayability, not only because we have since added multiplayer and infinite travel, but have extended the game with custom game support and a challenge mode. Oh ya, and milestone modifiers. Oh ya, and also remember when equipping items didn't change your character sprite? Oh ya.. and... It's impossible to list all the changes and additions here, but we have no plans of stopping. Building games with this amount of depth and breadth take time, especially whilst being a hobby project. Stay tuned for more!

Hey all,

Happy Saturday! Hoping you all are having some fun with the new update. We wanted to address some issues quickly that some players are facing. It's not everything we want to do or fix up in the short term, but it's a good start. Stay tuned for more!

Bonus Tip: You can bring up fish out of the water (ones you can't even see) by casting your line or net in open water. You can increase your chances of this by using bait. Bait items include chopped fish, spider meat, worm meat, or earthworms. The bait will automatically be used from your inventory as your attempt to fish.

• Added a new random quest requirement to challenge mode — discover buried treasures. You will spawn with treasure maps.

• Added the amount of items you have out of how many you need in the dismantling tooltip.
• Polished the look of status effect tooltips.

• Fixed the dismantle tooltip's label being duplicated numerous times after dismantling an item.
• Automatically fallback to WebGL1 if WebGL2 fails to compile shaders, which potentially fixes issues where some players were getting black screens while playing.
• Fixed "{ARTICLE:exceptional specimen}" showing in the Notes dialog. (Thanks William!)
• Fixed occasional "You cannot do that yet!" messages when moving while a map dialog is opened.
• Fixed the items that would be used in dismantling not being highlighted.
• Fixed tooltip flashing/layout shifting when turns/ticks pass.
• Fixed rare desyncs for some actions that damaged items.
• Fixed tattered map desyncs.
• Fixed issues when loading the same mod locally and through the Steam Workshop.
• Fixed the news menu showing duplicate "event" articles. (Thanks Amax!)
• Fixed quick settings tooltips being on the right rather than based on the mouse position.
• Fixed some instances of tooltip text displaying strangely, for tooltips that appear on the left side of your mouse.
• Fixed not being able to use buttons on disabled mods.
• Fixed new unlock highlights only showing in Challenge mode, the one place where they should not have shown.

Debug Tools

• Fixed performance issues after sleeping. (Thanks Primed_ape!)

It's that time again! Time for a major Wayward update to be released into the wild. And into the wild, you shall go. A harsher wild this time around, one where you are not only surviving your bodily needs, but now also surviving the elements with the introduction of temperature in this update. Temperature is only a taste of what is to come as this update is one of the biggest ones we have ever released. A few notable changes include:

• Added a new temperature system, along with three temperature-related status effects, a new "insulation" property for equipment and containers, and more!
• Added a new "Mastercrafted" item quality, only obtained through high-skill and efficacy crafting.
• Treasure hunting has been completely redesigned.
• Added tin ore, a lightweight but very soft and low durability metal that can be used in blunt-only weaponry, tools, armor, or mixed with copper to create bronze.
• Added the powerful bronze metal, an alloy crafted with copper and tin and to be used in late-game weaponry, tools and armor. Iron can still outclass bronze in certain regards relating to blunt resistances and blunt-based tools.
• Added tool use properties/values (and quality bonuses) for reinforce, start fire, repair, carve, dig, gather, rest, and more. Learn more about this by inspecting items to see their action information.
• Magical item properties (previously called legendaries) are no longer tied to a certain quality and can exist on multiple quality types now and are no longer restricted to a single property per item.
• Added lots of new content to ice cap biomes including new wall/floor types (ice/snow), items, equipment, creatures, plants, and more!
• Added multiple new creatures, some with unique mechanics and items.
• Added in attack animations for each damage type.

To help celebrate the release, Wayward is -20% off for the next 7 days.

Less talk, more video:



The original plan with this release was to further what we brought forth with the original "Seafarer" update, but to include even more of our lofty goals and deep systems to improve the "feeling" of these new island types. Those island types being of the new ice cap and arid biomes, now each with their own set of temperature challenges. Even with everything here, we still have more we want to do. So stay tuned!
