Dear Onbu Riders
The
Research & Economy update is here! We’ve worked together with the community to add more depth to the city-building gameplay of The Wandering Village. This update features many changes, all focused on making the game’s economy richer and more interesting.
The research system has received a major overhaul. Unlocking new technologies now costs resources, and everything has been unified in a single tree. The tree's design has also been overhauled to show all important information at a glance.
Onbu's back is now full of dense forests, large rocks and more. Your villagers will have to plan around these natural obstacles at first, and gradually free up more space to expand their village.
This update also features:
- Build Woodcutting and Mining Camps to automatically let your workers harvest nearby resources
- Nomads join your village if you keep your villagers' happiness high enough.
- Completely rebalanced difficulty modes, "Relaxed" and "Survival".
- Complete rework for the tutorial
- Two new building materials: clay and brick
- Five new Onbu food spot types
- Overhaul of the scavenging system
And much more! Check out the full patch notes:

A lot has changed, and we have completely reworked the tutorial to reflect these changes. If you return to The Wandering Village, we recommend playing the tutorial again to get a chance to learn about everything new!
Please note that, due to the extent of changes to how the game works, how Onbu's back is generated and more,
we are not able to keep old save files compatible with this new version. If you want to continue on your existing save files, please opt into the "0.7.10" branch on Steam to continue playing the previous version of the game.

Once again a huge thank you to everybody who helped with testing and translating!
