Here's just a small late-night update for you all while we continue working on the next major release. You'll find a healthy helping of bug fixes in this release with more on the way! Stay tuned! Bonus Promo:Join us onDiscord and gain some insight from the resident experts on Wayward who have all poured tons of hours into the game. Bonus Tip: Not sure where to start?
