Rerolling

Wayfar includes an ascension concept called "rerolling"; this is connected to the background you choose. Each background has a goal associated with it and when you complete that goal you can reroll to try again with a fresh build. Note that you can reroll to start over again any time you desire but you will only gain points if you completed your background.

Each time you reroll, the max number of skillpoints you can gain will be increased by 100 up to a maximum of 3500. After that you can still reroll but your max skillpoints will not go up anymore. Also, depending on your background you will get at least one reroll point if you completed the background prior to rerolling. You probably won't be able to do much with the reroll points at first but they will be useful eventually.

Rerolling will remove all of your skills and skillpoints, but you will retain control of all of your buildings, vehicles, and even your inventory. You will respawn in the central control station, where you can choose your background, change your gender, and select a colony to which you will be dispatched.
