Patch night! This week we are taking a stab at fixing up some more issues, some of which have unsurprisingly been in the game undiscovered for years. Always great to get those ones sorted out! TARS fans will also get a kick out of this release with a heavy overhaul and a giant bunch of new features. Wayward technological singularity is closely approaching!
The beta 2.10.x patches will be slowing down coming up as we focus more on our next big major release, but we still have a bit to go yet!
Bonus Tip: You can quickly equip items in your inventory or containers by hovering over them and pressing "E", you can quickly drop them by pressing "Q", and you can quickly move them (to an opened container for example) by pressing "Shift + Left Click". These binds can all be changed in the options.
Bonus Promo: Anketam has created a new spoiler-filled, "Mastercrafting Guide" available on Steam here. It goes over the requirements and strategies to create mastercrafted items. Check it out if you don't mind the spoilers!
New
- Added an option to unfocus the chat box after sending a message.
Improvements
- Items that use durability as a "charge" like bait will now take into account item quality, making quality items allow for more "charges". (Thanks warriorsforever482!)
Balance
- Reduced amount of ash needed to create ash cement, reducing the total ash cost for making flooring/walls.
- Increased the item quality cap for aberrant loot/corpse resources, leading to higher quality items in the late game and/or far traveled islands. (Thanks Nobody Important!)
Bug Fixes
- Fixed multiple desyncs related to temperature and melting tiles.
- Fixed the treasure hunting note not being possible to get. (Thanks mwebb759!)

- Fixed an error when joining a server while the server browser refreshed.
