Wonders Catalogue
The Wonders Catalogue is a game mechanic found within the Catalogue section of the in-game menu. It tracks rare and strange discoveries made by players. Records in the catalogue only include discoveries made after update 3.30 (Expeditions) or June of 2021. Any discoveries prior to this date are not recorded and must be revisited to be cataloged. The catalogue documents encountered values, not necessarily the real ones, meaning weather and temperature extremes must be experienced to be recorded.
