HWS Connect | Changelog
Now and then we release patches for HWS Connect. If it's a small patch, it is silent and you have to check this topic yourself regularly to keep up with the changes. If it's a big patch, we will make an announcement everywhere.
Updated Mar 1, 2022
HWS Crafting Calculator
The Crafting Calculator plans your next build: pick what you want to craft and how many, and it shows the raw materials, leftovers, every construction step and how long it takes. It also plans crop farms and finds crafts that free up OCD slots. It only calculates; it never touches your items.
Updated Oct 21, 2026
HWS Daily Loot
HWS Daily Loot gives you a small reward every day, plus 1 HWS Skill Point for the Skill Tree. It's made for players with jobs and families: open one box a day, and a missed day is not skipped.

HWS Factions (Faction List on HWS Connect)
The Factions page shows the in-game Factions window (F-menu → Factions) on the website: every player faction on the server with its origin, alliances and members.
Updated Oct 23, 2026
HWS Get Help (Support Tickets on HWS Connect)
Need the HWS team? Get Help opens a support ticket right on the website. Every ticket is a channel on the HWS Discord: what the team writes there shows up on the site, and what you write on the site shows up there, so you don't need Discord for it.
Updated Oct 27, 2026
HWS Hunter Board

Updated Oct 24, 2026
HWS Item Tracer (Item, Trader and Loot Database)

Updated Oct 21, 2026
HWS Kill Board

Updated Oct 23, 2026
HWS LCD Studio (Design LCD Screens)

Updated Oct 21, 2026
HWS Marketplace

HWS Proximity Log (Intruder Log on HWS Connect)

Updated Oct 21, 2026
HWS Shield Calculator

Updated Oct 21, 2026

Updated Oct 26, 2026
HWS Trader
HWS Traders are player-owned traders: an owner puts together an item package and the server sells it to other players. A great way to earn passive income, and a quick way for buyers to get bundles of items. HWS Traders are not the same as the in-game NPC traders or the HWS Marketplace.
Updated Oct 22, 2026
