2017-07-27 Deer Head On a Plaque, Templates, and Tags
We got some user contributions today. One of them was a complete page! I added templates and categories for item tags. All of the items still need to have the tags added but I did 
Wooden Sticks and 
Scrap Wood Branches to test the template. ~CptTwinkie

2017-07-20 New Thatch Roof Blocks Added
- Seven new thatch roof blocks were added in this week's update. ~CptTwinkie
2017-07-19 Food and Templates
I went on a bit of a marathon today that started with the food pages and didn't end until I'd updated nearly every template in the wiki. ~CptTwinkie
- New Templates
- Created from scratch to fill the needs of the food articles and anywhere else they will work.
| Template:No Image | Template:Crafting Ingredient |
- Renamed and repurposed templates
- The Template:Consumable Food didn't really meet the needs of the food. The two tool templates had to be reworked for the new tool system. It really is simpler than before and only requires one template.
| Template:Stat Effects | Template:Tool |
- Templates with Added Categories
- This started with a desire to cut down on the number of categories on each article and ended with adding parser functions to hide/show things conditionally. All template variables that default to information missing will now add Catagory:Missing_information tags when they have no data entered. Again, this cuts down on the number of category tags on articles.
- Pages Updated
- Finally, we get to the content. I went through the food using the new templates and managed to fill the stubs.

2017-07-11 Fuel Category Added
A quiet change in the game in 0.5 is that nearly every wooden inventory item can be used as fuel. I've created Category:Fuel and marked all of the items currently defined as fuel. ~CptTwinkie

2017-06-29 - Basic Blocks Added (Part 4)
- Twenty today. The full set of roofs! ~CptTwinkie
"I'm trying to get pages created for all of the basic or simple blocks since they're basically a copy/paste template with a few changes here and there. I'll try to post the articles I complete. Surely they can all use some description at the top."
2017-06-29 - Maintenance
- We did a cleanup of user accounts this morning. If your account had no activity history it was likely deleted. Greater than 90% of the accounts created were bots and spammers. I'll be looking into increasing the capcha security for account creation in the near future. ~CptTwinkie
2017-06-27 - Basic Blocks Added (Part 3)
- Seventeen today. I'll be busy for a few days but I'll try to get started on the roofs after that. ~CptTwinkie

2017-05-27 - Mod Metadata Guide
- We're hard at work on documentation for 0.5. We should have some big updates coming soon but we wanted to release something now since we were receiving a lot of questions about it.
- The metadata.mod file is created when you upload a mod in 0.5. It can be edited to set min/max version numbers. We've received a lot of questions about it from people who want to update their mods
- to mark them compatible with 0.5 but haven't uploaded yet. So we've posted the Mod Metadata guide explaining how the file works. Keep an eye out for detailed 0.5 modding
- guides coming soon. ~CptTwinkie
