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? Starting the game in "Casual Mode" may be recommended for new players to help get their bearings as it allows respawning and disables aggression from creatures.
