Today, we are releasing a small-ish update focused on bug fixes primarily, but also improving some user experience items and addressing some common complaints.
More to come as always!
Bonus tip: Wayward has a save back-up feature built in. By default, the last 10 times your save game file has been saved, a file backup will be available in your Wayward folder within the “backups” folder. More information on this is available here:
