Update 10 October 2019 - Throwback
My, has today been a throwback day. I reunited back with my old RuneScape clan, it'd been a while since I felt I was active on RuneScape, I'd sporadically log in and play for a couple of days only to disappear for weeks or a couple of months, but today felt different. What has this got to do with Survivalist? Well short story is I started editing the RuneScape Wiki again. And my activity in editing wikis leads me to checking up on Survivalist Game Wiki, but additionally feeling motivated to actually post stuff again (because I would check the wiki times over the past 2 years but not really feel like changing anything, i.e. a silent observer of a wiki, rather than being a creator).

Update 3 February 2018 - Yes, it's been that long
Just thought I should update, but for real this time. Can't believe it's been almost 2 years since I stopped blog posting, though I'd thought about posting an update or even writing one (a couple of times in 2017) but never finishing it.
As of now, until I get a better computer, I am unable to play Survivalist and really get in on adding more info to the wiki. There's a lot more unfinished work to be done, such as adding navigation tables for buildings, locations and such (we have ones for items and characters iirc). Plus I would want to datamine the chat head images of all the characters to add in as well, since eg: most of the F.E.M.A. characters look similar in their Hazmat suits. Quests and game guides are seriously lacking, I said at s…
Update 16 April 2016 - Next-level Items Navbox
Time for an update. These blog posts seem to be harder for me to write than before, mainly because I forget what I have been doing over a period of time, so I go and check my list of contributions.
In my blog post on March 3, I mentioned that I was working on Navboxes. Today I have finally made a big update in completing the Items Navbox. The problem I had previously was having multiple columns in the navbox, but after looking at different wikis, I based the coding on the terraria.gamepedia.com template, while the appearance is most similar to the minecraft.gamepedia.com and postal.wikia.com templates. I also had to tweak the ItemLink template a bit to get it to incorporate arguments for customising what text to be displayed. It took me aro…
Update 27 March 2016 - Survivors Sandbox
Ok, since I only make a few edits here and there every few days, I'll try and list them here in this post, since my last blog post.
I was (and still am) concerned with the definition of a Determinant character. As it stands there are way too many Determinant characters, and only some are integral to the core story while others are just side characters.
I still need to do work on creating those nav boxes, that'll be a major step in standardising page design. As for page design, I added a notice to whenever someone creates a new article to use the templates for creating new pages, as someone had created 30 character pages with no template and now I have to go back and add infoboxes etc to all of them.
More recently (March 22), I worked on a new…
Update 3 March - Future Plans
Well it's obvious enough that I have not been working on this wiki to the same capacity that I was doing in December. So I'll start by saying that blog posts will no longer have a continuous date on them (eg: 8-12 January).
There have been some helpful discussion posts on the Steam Discussion Forums that I have turned into guides. I hope to continue doing this, though they will all need tidying up and I hope to add screenshot images to them to make the guides more comprehensive.
I've found another "big project" to get excited about: Navboxes! These are placed at the bottom of the page and link to other article pages in the same category (eg: on the Pistol page there will be a Navbox with links to all the other items, sorted into categories).…
