• Hotpatch 0.17.18 - Selection and Interface Polish - 25 July 2026

  Hello, Outpost Keepers! Hotpatch 0.17.18 is now available. This is a smaller update focused on polishing pawn selection, camera behavior, and several interface interactions that should make everyday play feel smoother. Pawn Selection and Camera Movement Build and order tools no longer accidentally select pawns when work areas overlap. Keyboard panning, middle-mouse dragging, and zooming now reliably clear pawn selection and disable camera follow. Camera movement can now clear pawn selection even when the original mouse event is consumed by the UI. Selected Pawn Interface Hovering anywhere on the selected pawn interface now pauses time. Moving the cursor away restores the previous game speed without overriding an existing pause. Management controls, tabs, portrait details, and expand/collapse buttons all participate in hover pause. The role assignment panel now closes automatically when…

• Hotpatch 0.17.17 - Smaller Fixes and Quality-of-Life Improvements - 24 July 2026

  Hello, Outpost Keepers! Hotpatch 0.17.17 is now available. This is a smaller patch focused on reliability and quality-of-life improvements. It makes planted-crop automation reliable across staffing changes and saved games, cleans up stale work in the task queue, and makes hauled items visible directly on pawns. Reliable Auto-Harvest Auto-harvest is now always active and continues checking crops during guard alerts. Every mature player-planted crop is checked when a save is loaded, and missing harvest work is recreated immediately. Harvest tasks can wait in the queue until a suitable worker becomes available instead of disappearing when no Farmer is free. Wild forageable plants are excluded from automatic harvesting and remain available for manual harvest orders. Older saves that persisted auto-harvest as disabled are migrated automatically. Carried Items Pawns now display the icon of th…

• Hotpatch 0.17.16 - Guided Progression & Interface Improvements - 22 July 2026

  Hello, Outpost Keepers! Hotpatch 0.17.16 is now available. This update makes early progression easier to follow, improves several major interfaces, and includes fixes for construction, trading, and guest behavior. Guided Progression New: Onboarding Checklist A new checklist has been added beneath the top-left HUD to help guide new players through the early game. Shows what to build next during onboarding. Tasks are checked off automatically as you complete them. Guest room requirements are now displayed more clearly. Uses your selected HUD font size and hides while other top-left menus are open. New: Dungeon Objectives After onboarding, the checklist transitions into permanent Dungeon Objectives. Track your progress as you conquer deeper dungeon floors. Players who disable onboarding receive Dungeon Objectives immediately. Progress is saved and restored correctly. Fullscreen Interfaces…

• Hotpatch 0.17.13 - Hostile AI, Hunting, and Hay Beds - 21 July 2026

  Hotpatch 0.17.13 is now available. This update focuses on fixing combat stalls, reducing simulation spikes during hostile incidents, and adding a few quality-of-life improvements.Hostile and Wildlife FixesFixed hostiles repeatedly targeting the same unreachable pawn instead of selecting another valid target.Fixed hostiles and wildlife sometimes stopping after a single movement step, particularly when chasing targets near the edge of the map.Added a failsafe for hostiles that cannot move, attack, or break through an obstacle. If they remain stuck for too long, they'll retreat instead of leaving the incident permanently active.Fixed a major simulation spike caused by temperature-aware pathfinding repeatedly recalculating terrain movement costs during hostile activity.Hunting ImprovementsThe Hunt button on selected wildlife now correctly creates a hunting request.Hunt requests now show whe…

• Wanderers' Outpost is Out Now in Steam Early Access! - 21 July 2026

  After several years of development, Wanderers' Outpost is finally available in Steam Early Access.It's been a long road to get here. What started as a small idea eventually grew into a game about everything happening behind the heroes. Instead of leading the party into the dungeon, you're the one running the frontier settlement that keeps them alive.Build inns, workshops, kitchens, warehouses, and expedition facilities. Welcome adventurers from all walks of life, equip them for dangerous journeys, collect taxes on the treasure they bring back, and keep your outpost growing as stronger dungeons and greater dangers appear.The Early Access version already includes the core experience:A fully simulated settlement with autonomous adventurers, workers, merchants, and visitors.Procedurally generated dungeon expeditions.Crafting, production chains, trading, lodging, and a town economy driven by…

• Early Access Launches July 22 + New Trailer - 19 July 2026

  When I started working on Wanderers' Outpost, I knew one thing for certain.The game wasn't going to be "finished" by launch.Every time I completed a feature, I'd find something else worth improving. I'd polish the economy, then realize the onboarding could be clearer. I'd redesign the UI, then decide the expedition system needed another pass. The more the game grew, the more ideas I wanted to add.At some point, I had to stop asking, "Is it finished?" and start asking, "Is it ready for players?"For me, the answer is yes.Wanderers' Outpost launches into Steam Early Access on July 22.The new Early Access trailer is available, and it gives a good look at where the game is today. Why Early Access?I've never looked at Early Access as releasing an unfinished game.Instead, I see it as the point where player feedback becomes more valuable than another few months of developing alone.The core of W…
