Wild's Network is a menu of contacts, upgrades and services run by Joe Wild in Probably Stolen. The network screen tracks your credits and Wild's Favor, and several new product lines, including water upgrades and fish farming, are unlocked through it. This page covers what official patch notes, developer replies and a pre-release screenshot confirm before the October 28, 2026 launch.
Joe Wild
Joe Wild is the fixer behind the network. In one pre-release screenshot he greets the player at the counter with "Hello! Welcome to our little neighborhood!", and his card in the same image gives his full name as Jonathan Wild. Other named characters are listed on Characters.
Using the Network
The network screen in the pre-release screenshot shows your Available Credits and your Wild's Favor at the top, with entries sorted into six categories. Each entry has a cost and an Unlock button. Values in screenshots may change before launch.
Category | Confirmed Entries as of October 20, 2026 |
|---|---|
Referral | None named |
Favor | None named |
Informant | Wild's Fixers (350 credits in the screenshot) |
Supplier | None named |
Service | None named |
Gunsmith | None named |
Wild's Favor
Wild's Favor is a currency shown on the network screen next to your credits. As of October 20, 2026, official notes have not explained how it is earned or which entries cost Favor rather than credits.

Gutterflow and Rustwater are also the names of the two lowest grades in the Water Trading Manual. As of October 20, 2026, official notes have not described what the three water upgrades supply beyond their names. See Water Trading for the grades and Animal Farming for aquafarming.
Wild's Fixers
The Informant entry for Wild's Fixers explains the service: Wild lets you hire his fixers, and as long as you keep paying a nightly fee, they silence witnesses and clean up evidence that Security has not collected yet. That lowers your suspected crime level faster than it would fall on its own.
Patch notes also mention hiring Wild to remove evidence. Update 049 fixed a bug where doing so while a Security officer was already on the way permanently disabled all later Security punishment while investigation warnings kept appearing. The fixer can also bring your record down into fine territory before an officer arrives. How investigations work is covered on Security and Contraband.
Not Yet Confirmed
As of October 20, 2026, the full list of network entries for the 1.0 release has not been published, and no entries have been named for the Referral, Favor, Supplier, Service or Gunsmith categories. Reputation and faction standing are covered separately on Factions and Reputation.
