I decided to push this release a day just so I could get a few more items added to the changelog. We are getting to the point in our todo list where bigger things need to get done, and the changes aren’t meaning too much to the players, so please excuse us if the next weeklies seem a bit “lackluster”.
Next week we can expect a preliminary model for the new “actions” system where you can contextually perform actions to a facing tile/item without needing to use an item. Some ideas include: drinking water, resting, etc.
CAUTION
Back-up your game regularly if you care about it, especially with these weekly releases. There’s a Save/Load modification available for this task. Wayward is a still a beta!
Once you go weekly, there’s no going back in your save, it will convert it if you play online.
