Cursebreaker Update #3

We have a new release filled to the brim with bug fixes and some improvements/additions to the curse system. Hope you enjoy! Bonus Promo: The Steam Spring Sale has sprung! Wayward is currently -25% off during the event. Tell your friends!

[dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/379210/Wayward/"] Bonus Tip: Maxing out a skill still provides attribute/stat (strength (health), dexterity (stamina), etc.) increases when using it. There's no limit on these stats; however, the higher they are, the harder they are to increase. To find out which stats increase when using a specific skill, you can open up the skill dialog (default "V") to reveal this, as long as you have increased a stat with that skill in the past.

New

• Added "Warding" and "Fortune" magical properties.

• Certain creatures will now damage multiple pieces of armor at a time.

• Added an initial curse option to the custom game options menu.

• You can now copy the current game's seed to your clipboard from within the "World Options" menu.

Improvements

• The area you've explored now slowly gets chipped away into complete darkness during curse events and returns during the morning.

• Drawn maps now give directions.

• The milestone modifier type is now shown in the multiplayer server browser and on the pause screen.

• Added some new special aberrant chance calculations in some places.

• Improved performance when using "Target Hovered Tile" action slots. (Thanks Zanster!)

• The "Statistician" milestone now no longer blocks guaranteed stat gains. (Thank King Smidgens!)

• You can now use the protect item and rename shortcuts while hovering over equipment items.

• The curse stat now shows the chance of a curse event occurring, which increases every turn based on your curse factors.

• The reset milestone progress button now mentions discovery as well.

• Removed the ability to create "empty" action slots which could cause several unintended/confusing issues.

• Reworked void dweller AI.

• The cinematic overlay effect no longer shows while the player is dead while "Disable UI Opacity" is checked.

• Improved message/error when trying to drop items onto a full tile.

• Added a message that states what was failed to drop or dump in the case that not all items were able to be dropped on the same tile.

Balance

• Rebalanced the curse stat to make it matter for longer.

• The "Sleeplessness" factor of the curse stat is now easier to keep lower. (Thanks Nameless!)

• Cacti no longer continuously damage the player (but will still cause the cut status).

• Void dwellers are now "fearless".

• Removed most natural Void Dweller spawning.

• The "Undeath" curse event now scales up a tiny bit slower. (Thanks Nameless!)

• Biome-specific items are now weighted higher when learning crafts.

• Curing will no longer cause overhydrating or overeating.

• When re-taming golems or offering items, they will now receive the same turn bonus as when summoning.

• Fire overflow events can now happen while a fire is "healthy" or higher instead of only during "raging".

Bug Fixes

• Fixed many incorrect instances of player damage or trampling when standing over certain doodads, tile events or items.

• Fixed several types of special spawns not being able to be aberrant.

• Fixed being able to drag boats or minecarts like wheelbarrows after dumping items.

• Fixed dropping items on tiles not working when "Drop Items on Feet" is enabled.

• Fixed action slots being bugged when switching out items with undiscovered actions and toggling "Target Hovered Tile" on them.

• Fixed some vegetative trees clipping into the player's graphic.

• Fixed not being able to auto-use actions that were discovered by default and/or showing that they still needed to be used in some cases to discover them.
