Wheels & Wetlands Update #2

Hey all,

We have a minor update ready tonight to start off this weekend. This release primarily focuses on bug fixes and smaller UI/UX improvements. Review the changelog below for more details!

Bonus Promo: Thank you to those who recently left a review for Wayward. This helps us reach more potential players and supporters! If you have a few minutes, please leave a review and rate any reviews you find helpful!

Bonus Tip: Wells do not require an underground/cave lake to function (although this is definitely preferred). You can place them in many locations and receive fresh water over time. You can even place multiple of them to get more fresh water quicker. Use a rope to “Test Depth” on wells to tell if you have adequate water coming into the well.

New

  • Redesigned the attack tooltip, adding in damage types, range attack info, and fixing misc issues.

Attack Inspection

  • Added a tooltip delay option.

Improvements

  • Indecipherable and completed tattered maps now appear in the inventory with different graphics. (Thanks TheBlackHand!)

Tattered Maps

  • Completed tattered maps that are part of a different island will no longer be called “indecipherable.” (Thanks Setbu!)
  • Clicking on the “also bound to” icon in the bindings menu now filters to the specific input rather than the bindables also bound to that input, and the filter now updates as you rebind them, allowing you to more easily fix incompatibilities.
  • Tweaked some actions to be discovered by default like starting/stoking fire and butcher and removed eat/drink/rename.
  • Reduced splash screen time.
  • You can now choose to only show tooltips if you’re holding the “show more information” binding.
  • Dual Wielding now has a reputation impact and can increase strength. (Thanks Kalako!)
  • Cleaned up the UX around configuring the craft action in the action bar. (Thanks 柯箴之!)
  • Drawing maps now has more delay to prevent performance issues and accidentally redrawing the same terrain. (Thanks 柯箴之!)
  • The player now uses their right hand for their main hand but can be toggled with a new gameplay setting.
  • Improved the “Item Qualities” help article. (Thanks 柯箴之!)
  • Stored item insulation is now referred to as that in item tooltips.

Balance

  • Equippable containers (like backpacks) now have equipped insulation values.
  • Skeletons are now resistant to fire instead of vulnerable to it.
  • You can no longer see merchant stats in complete detail.
