Wonderia Early Game Checklist

This page is a practical early-game checklist for Wonderia Early Access. Work top to bottom, tick items in chat, and use the interactive checklist tool embedded on this wiki page (when enabled on the live site) to track personal progress. Pair with the priority tier list and resource planner.

Wonderia is a Steam survival sandbox from Rock&Dash / IndieArk—not a Roblox game. Your checklist is exploration and crafting, not code redemption.

0 / 10 Completed

Phase 0 — before you wander

  • Install latest Wonderia build (post v0.5.8.2106 if you plan co-op)
  • Set keyboard or controller binds
  • Create/load world; decide solo vs 1–8 co-op
  • Open starting chest; count Compressed Biscuits and Bandages
  • Screenshot settings after remaps

Phase 1 — camp literacy (first hour)

  • Locate landing RV / camp landmark
  • Find the nearby hot spring for emergency Food recovery
  • Gather starter wood and stone without overencumbering
  • Place first storage chest
  • Craft / place a basic workbench inside storage adjacency
  • Craft gathering tools before décor
  • Unlock hoe + watering can
  • Till a small farm near water
  • Cook at least one stable meal recipe
  • Put tool, weapon, food on the hotbar

Phase 2 — copper and commute

  • Scout copper nodes; note Hand-crank Drill requirements if gated
  • Smelt first ingots; avoid spending all on vanity
  • Craft discounted copper weapon line when ready
  • Craft or loot a ranged backup
  • Repair the nearest teleport
  • Build a clear arrival plaza (no parked boat on the pad)
  • Label chests: ore / food / building / quest
  • Stock Bandages (vendor five-packs help after price QoL)

Phase 3 — power spikes

  • Clear an introductory temple with empty bag slots
  • Unlock portable vehicle deploy/store
  • Practice morph enter/exit in a safe field
  • Push a controlled petal into biome two only after food is stable (biomes)
  • Schedule repairs (35% material multiplier era)
  • Review tier list before crafting duplicate swords

Phase 4 — co-op readiness

  • Host verifies create/join on current patch (multiplayer)
  • Orientation chest for joiners (biscuits, bandages, spare tool)
  • Role call: farmer, crafter, scout, hauler
  • Drop-trade plaza rules agreed (tips)
  • Donation turn-ins announced in chat
  • Session end: store vehicles, close farm gates, note next goal

Daily loop checklist (repeat forever)

  1. Water / harvest / cook
  2. Repair tools under 40% durability
  3. One resource objective (copper, tin, cores)
  4. One map objective (pad, temple, NPC)
  5. One base QoL (light, sign, chest)
  6. Log off with inventories sorted

Anti-checklist (do not do these early)

  • ❌ Empty the biscuit stack arranging furniture
  • ❌ Delete unlabeled chests in co-op
  • ❌ Enter biome three naked for content
  • ❌ Assume Roblox codes exist
  • ❌ Ignore Steam news on /updates/

Print this mentally, tick loudly, and Wonderia’s first week becomes intentional instead of improvised panic.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common Wonderia questions.

Is there an interactive Wonderia checklist?

Yes—use the interactive tool on this wiki page when available, or follow the markdown checkboxes below in your own tracker.

What is the first box I should tick?

Update the game, loot the starting chest, and find the hot spring before long exploration petals.

Can this checklist work for eight players?

Yes. Assign phases to roles—farmer owns Phase 1 farms, scout owns teleport ticks, host owns co-op readiness.

When do I stop using the early checklist?

After copper tools, a teleport, a food loop, and one temple are done. Then shift to biome-two goals and the resource planner.

Does the checklist include multiplayer fixes?

Phase 0 and Phase 4 call out updating past v0.5.8.2106 and verifying create/join before inviting a full lobby.
