Hey there, Starverinos!

We've been busy making the game run faster! Woohoo, performance improvements! Mostly these improvements have been for client and server performance, which should improve framerates and server load when in dense areas (such as large bases). We've also upgraded all the Klei Official Servers, so those will run better, too. Let us know what you think! It seems there was a tune-up on the rideable beefalo as well, 'coz they're also running faster. :|

As well, these past couple weeks have seen more crash fixes and bugs squashed out. Thanks as always for reporting the issues that you find.

(omg, did I really type "starverinos" …?)

• Beefalo saddles (all of them) now give a greater movespeed bonus.
  
• Upgraded all Klei Official dedicated servers.

• Fixed certain files from being incorrectly filtered out when installing mods.
  
• Fixed crash sometimes when haunting Twiggy Trees.
  
• Fixed bug where chopping Twiggy Trees would anger nearby Leifs.

HOTFIX 183838 - 07/07/2016

• Weather Pain now works properly on clients and can no longer target or damage other Players on a non-PvP server.
  
• Telelocator Staff can no longer target other Players on a non-PvP server.
  
• Creatures will now wander towards a Salt Lick when they need to use it.
  
• Fixed crash sometimes when a Player dies while jumping through a Wormhole.

HOTFIX 184014 - 07/08/2016

• Fixed some clothing texture seams and layering bugs.
  
• Fixed bug where Crafting tabs may not be updated correctly when spawning in right next to a Science Machine.
  
• Fixed bug where Torches and Lighters could unintentionally catch Wildfire, leaving them in a non-interactable state.

HOTFIX 184101 - 07/11/2016

• Fixed clothing graphical issue when wearing overalls on top of skirts.
  
• Votes will now pass by majority as long as there is a minimum of 3 “Yes” votes.
  
• Players kicked by voting will no longer be able to rejoin the server immediately. (This does not apply to Admin kicks, since the Admin can already choose to use timed or permanent bans instead.)

As always if you run across a bug, please hit up our bug tracker here: http://forums.kleientertainment.com/klei-bug-tracker/dont-starve-together/

Howdy Don’t Starvers, how are you all? Well fed I hope! Couple of fun changes added in this time. The “/roll” command will give you a random dice roll, good for filling your time on those cold nights with friends around the fire playing games of chance, and “/emote” will expand your range of expressions to whatever you can think of and hasn’t been animated yet. We decided to remove the Winter and Summer traps from Don’t Starve Together’s Worldgen. We miss them and will be looking to fill their void in the future, but with something a little more tailored to suit multiplayer. Inactive Bernies were causing some confusion, so he now remains fully functional when transferred to other Players, like many of the other character items.

Stay dry, stay sane, and stay fed. See you again soon.

• Removed Summer and Winter Traps from Worldgen.
  
• Bernie will now activate for any Player who goes insane, and will no longer decay on the ground unless it is completely broken.
  
• Added sound FX for Salt Lick.
  
• Added new ‘/roll’ and ‘/emote’ user commands.
  
• Pasting text into DST is now supported on all platforms (Windows, Linux, and OSX).

• Fixed crash sometimes when a Player disconnects while opening a gift.
  
• Fixed UI compatibility issues with mods that add save slots.
  
• Beardlings and Beardlords will now appear properly for Players whose sanity drops below 40 percent (30 percent for Maxwell).
  
• Picking thorny Roses no longer triggers battle music.

HOTFIX 182494 - 06/24/2016

• Fixed bug where a Dwarf Star may never fade out in some rare cases.
  
• Fixed a crash in Mods screen.
  
• “/roll” command now accepts an optional [max] parameter.
  
• “c_announce” can now be used to send system messages to the chat area by specifying “system” as the category: e.g. c_announce(“This is a test!”, nil, “system”)

HOTFIX 182893 - 06/29/2016

• /roll command expanded to roll multiple dice at once. Try '/roll 20' to roll a single 20-sided dice, or '/roll 3d6' to roll three 6-sided dice.
  
• Added sound effects for building Farms.
  
• Server performance improvements, as well as client Physics optimizations.
  
• Subscribed mods are now cached when downloaded, making unsubscribing and subscribing faster.
  
• Fix crash when a server with an old saveindex was missing its save files (i.e. they got deleted).
  
• Fixed unpacking of mods with invalid data from failing needlessly.
  
• Fixed crash sometimes on mods tabs that occurred when cleaning mods.

HOTFIX 183166 - 06/30/2016

• Fixed issue causing clients to sometimes get stuck on a loading screen if the World resets while they are in the Caves.
  
• Fixed crash sometimes when a Player disconnects while a user command is being executed.

HOTFIX 183348 - 07/04/2016

• Fixed issue preventing world votes from starting properly and not being able to pass if anyone abstains.
  
• Fixed bug where Willow was taking health damage when extinguishing smoldering objects. (The short burning effects and speech should still be triggered.)
  
• Fixed bug where Science Machines sometimes stop animating even when Players are near.
  
• Fixed bug where Crafting tabs did not automatically update when picking up or dropping a backpack, or when receiving items directly into your backpack.
  
• Mod downloading now filters out more file types that aren’t needed by the mod.
  
• Client performance improvements.
  
• Dwarf Stars no longer get “wet”.

Hey there Don't Starvers! It's been awhile since our last update, we're hard at work on the expansion and on the PS4 edition. But we're definitely still on the lookout for improvements and fixes to the base game, so here's some updates to recent features (Maxwell, Beefalo, Twiggy Trees), bug fixes as always, and an overhaul to the voting system to make it easier to manage servers without an admin present. (Details in the patch notes.)

As always, we appreciate your feedback, and keep on not starving!

• New DST Steam Trading Cards! Collect 'em all! (Sorry, box tops are not accepted.)
  
• You know those sticks that start on the ground when your world has Twiggy trees? Now we know where they come from.
  
• New and improved vote system! From the Player Status Screen (tab key, right joystick), you'll now see a list of server admin actions. If the server allows voting (on by default for dedicated servers, configuration options here), then non-admin users will also see the list of admin actions in order to start a vote. Vote-kick on players is available by default on dedicated servers.
  
• New "Salt Lick" item in the Tools crafting menu helps keep your beefalo satisfied in your absence.
  
• Maxwell’s Shadow minions will no longer die instantly from falling debris during Earthquakes.
  
• Maxwell is refunded one nightmare fuel if he banishes a Shadow Minion under his control.
  
• Codex Umbra no longer decays when left on the ground.
  
• Books can now be used as fuel for Fire.
  
• Reduced the intensity of insanity audio/visual effects while playing as Maxwell.
  
• Added more action fail strings variety.
  
• Particles now properly fade out after their entity is destroyed.

• Fixed animation bugs when performing emotes while mounted.
  
• Fixed bug where Instrument or Book actions may sometimes fail when your inventory is full.
  
• Fixed bug where Wickerbottom’s penalty for eating spoiled food was not being applied properly.
  
• Fixed bug where a player’s minimap sometimes does not save correctly when entering and exiting Caves.
  
• Added proper controller bindings for Gift Popup screen.
  
• Fixed bug where Crock Pot action may fail on clients when a Hammer is equipped.

• Fixed crash when viewing the scoreboard on a dedicated server.
