Beta 2.10.3 Released

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.

Short but sweet this week with more stuff in the works!

New

  • A back-up of your global save data and games will now be saved in your Wayward directory in case of Steam Cloud issues/corruptions.
  • Added a new interaction with the void.
  • Added a "savePath" launch option (for real this time – the previous option was command line only).

Improvements

  • Saves will no longer shift/move positions (get sorted) after importing them.
  • The inspect dialog now retains what was inspected the last time the game was played.
  • Speed up travel time by up to 5 seconds.
  • Renamed "saveDirectory" command line argument to "savePath".
  • Multiplayer build mismatch errors now provide human-readable messages.
  • You can now import multiple saves at the same time.
