Black Salt Games and Team17 have released the first major update for their popular fishing adventure video game, Dredge. The latest version, 1.1.0, brings the community’s most requested quality-of-life feature, which extends the game map’s functionality. Take a look at what Dredge update 1.1.0 has in store in a new trailer from Black Salt Games’ official Youtube channel:
Starting with the release of Dredge version 1.1.0, the game map can now be zoomed and scrolled. Furthermore, six different types of markers can now be added to the map. These markers can be viewed using the Spyglass tool.
Here are the several adjustments and fixes made as part of Dredge update 1.1.0, as detailed on a new changelog from the official Black Salt Games website:
Adjustments
- Removed timers on timed quests (Hooded Figures, Castaway)
- The book rewards for the Hooded Figures’ quests have been retroactively awarded to players who already exceeded these timers.
- The Travelling Merchant now always stocks 1x Research Part every day, with a 50% chance of stocking 2x.
- All basic material spots (Lumber, Scrap, and Cloth) now restock over time.
- Doubled the chance of finding an aberration of trawl-only species (Aurora Jellyfish, Anchovy)
- From now on, shops will retain unique equipment sold to them, allowing them to be bought back if you change your mind.
- Made it harder to accidentally discard important items
- Items such as equipment and quest items now take longer to discard and flash the prompt as the button is held.
- Rot is now faster to discard.
- Moved 3 Loosejaw spawns in Stellar Basin to make them easier to locate.
- The description of a few quest items now updates to let you know they can be discarded when they are no longer needed.
- The Research button now highlights itself to draw attention in some situations:
- After players have been given their first research part.
- After the Researcher tells players to upgrade a certain piece of equipment in Stellar Basin.
- When using a controller, the icons that prompt you to switch sides (L3/R3) now flash until they’ve been used at least once.

- Increased the visibility of glowing quest item VFX.
