Extracting Wayward Assets

The assets of Wayward (images, sounds, and compiled scripts) can be extracted for use in your own mods — for example, to create a new image for an item in your mod based on an existing item's image.

Prerequisites

Node.js

You should already have this installed if you're doing mod development, but just in case, here's the link again.

Extracting

1. Navigate to Wayward's app.asar file. If you're on Windows, the command will be something like:
   cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Wayward\resources"

2. Extract the contents of the file:
   npx @electron/asar extract app.asar wayward-resources

The first time you run this command, you'll get a prompt like this:

Need to install the following packages:
  @electron/asar@3.2.4
Ok to proceed? (y)

You should be able to press enter or type y and press enter, and then Wayward will be extracted into a folder called wayward-resources.
