Wildfire changelog

1.1 September 29, 2026

The result breaks the score into its parts: the goal, the area, houses and cabins, the budget left, and any measure of the scenario's own.
Every result says how close it came to the goal, such as "Goal met with 5.3 acres to spare" or "Missed by 12 acres".
Budget points count only when no house or cabin is lost, so saving money never outscores saving a house.
Letting the fire reach a house and then saving it no longer scores higher than keeping the fire away from it.
The burned area shows how much of it came from fire you set.
Scores follow the new rules from this version on. Leaderboards and your best results start fresh.

Letter and number keys keep working after you click a button. A setting in the Keyboard section limits them to the map.
Sandbox tool keys do nothing during a scenario.
An alert that slows the game no longer speeds it back up on its own. Your earlier speed stays outlined, and one tap brings it back.
Alert cards stay on screen while the game is paused, and their times match the clock.
The result stays reachable: a Result button reopens it, and it returns after the replay or when you press play.
The buttons on the result and the briefing stay in view on short screens.
Home shows the whole map.
Metric converts the forecast table.
Clicking a unit's icon selects that unit where icons overlap, and a line drawn starting on another unit is no longer ignored.
A house catching fire during a scenario shows one message, not two.
Esc on a briefing leaves the game paused with the map focused.
A weather event added in the sandbox shows the same time in the message and in the list.
On phones, the More menu closes after you pick something or tap elsewhere.

Scenarios with hand crews, dozers, engines, helicopters, air tankers, structure prep and firing teams, each with a forecast, a budget, a goal and a rating out of three stars.
A daily fire, the same for everyone, with a result to share, and endless initial attack at three settings.
A scenario editor that turns a sandbox setup into a scenario you can share by link.
Achievements, and leaderboards for the daily fire and every scenario, with a cheaterboard.
Projected spread at 1, 2 and 4 hours, alerts that can slow or pause time, an incident log, reinforcements and hidden lightning starts.
A summary and time-lapse replay after every fire, photo mode, and a page on how wildfire behaves with small fires to run.
