  Early Access v1.1.0.3 Minor Update

  Introducing the first Minor Update for Wildwood! First of all you can expect to see some performance improvements. While the performance is better, a lot of work still needs to be done before the full release. In the meantime, this will hopefully help some of you that have been struggling. There are some changes you can make in the settings that should also help. First, I have added an option to change the Window Mode, running the game in Exclusive Fullscreen tends to yield better performance. Another thing you can do is adjust the LOD scale and the grass detail. Turning these down should increase the frame rate. I have also made some changes to some of the early game mechanics to hopefully make the game more intuitive and fun. First of all I’ve changed some things about the UI to hopefully make the existence of the Tech Tree more obvious. The spawn rate of citizens has also been increased in the early game, to speed things up and keep the player from feeling like they are stuck waiting for more citizens. Several other changes have also been made to the game balance, however, the overall effect on the gameplay shouldn’t be too dramatic. Some things did need to be readjusted in the Tech Tree, so you might notice some Techs have moved around. When starting a new game you should also notice a lot more Stone Deposits. Having stone nearby is an important early game requirement so hopefully players won’t have to travel to find it. Many other changes have been made that you can find in the patch notes below. Be sure to follow Wildwood and Thermal Expansion games on social media for more updates! I want to thank those of you that have already given your feedback on the game. A lot of the changes below are a direct result of that feedback. I really want to get as much feedback as possible to make Wildwood as great as it can be. The Wildwood Steam Community page is a great place give that feedback, as I almost always have that page open while I am working. If you find a bug b...
