West Wood Patch Notes

Patch tracking for West Wood is complicated by the remake pivot — the original experience no longer receives the constant tweak cadence of a live top-100 simulator. This page records verified public metadata and notes where future remake changelogs will land.

Current Remake status (August 2026)

The Remake beta is published under Place 109129552698918. Roblox Games API records the experience as last updated at 2026-08-24 21:02:57 UTC for Universe 10598641427. The official description shows the version string Post-Release Patch when checked on August 27, 2026 UTC.

No itemized first-party patch notes were published for this version. The Post-Release Patch label and API timestamp are confirmed; a detailed fix list is not.

The public description retains the beta warning about bugs and incomplete mechanics. The API reports a maximum server size of 12 players.

Badge API status (August 27, 2026)

Roblox badge API for Universe 10598641427 returned 23 enabled badges on August 27, 2026 UTC. Confirmed milestone categories: join identity (3), reputation milestones at 5/10/20/30 (4), season survival (4), risk thresholds at 50 and 100 (2), shop interactions (3), night deliveries (2), and beast/item encounters (5). One badge — On The Coldest Day Of Winter — has an officially unknown trigger marked with ? in the API.

Badge API calls are the most reliable near-real-time evidence of gameplay additions. After each new Roblox Games API update timestamp, check the badge endpoint for new IDs.

August 21 release window

BloxInformer records an August 21 release window for the Remake, while the official API shows the Universe was created on July 30. Treat August 21 as a useful third-party availability marker rather than a first-party launch-time guarantee.

How to read version labels

Version labels and API timestamps are different. The updated field proves that Roblox recorded a change to the experience record at a time; it does not identify which map, script, asset, setting, or description field changed. Similarly, an increased badge count proves that the badge API changed, not that every badge trigger works in every active server.

Player checks after an update

Rejoin through the official experience page so the Place ID is correct. Read the description before launch for a changed version string or warning. Once inside, check whether your inventory, logbook, badges, and saved reputation appear as expected.

For survival changes, run a short daylight preparation loop and one controlled night with teammates. Note the season shown, visible risk, current HUD bars, and whether the Beast encounter differs from the last known server.

For shop or delivery changes, read the in-game note and destination again rather than relying on a memorized original-game route.

QOL update era

The QOL UPDATE period expanded PC controls — lean, interact, zoom — archived on QOL Update Notes. Halloween 2024 added SPOOK SEASON! event badges per community badge lists — see Badges and Events.

Original launch era (2023–2024)

Early builds introduced contracts (G), hunger/thirst, soul coin badges, general store key flow, dealer purchases, and co-op horror in Alberta setting. Community feedback focused on sound hiding, break-in RNG, and solo difficulty.

Remake era (2024–present)

Development attention moved to remake per Discord. The current Post-Release Patch beta is the active build as of August 2026. Large patch notes will arrive upon remake playtests rather than small weekly balance tweets.
