Hey Everybody!


Last year we introduced Klei Fest to take place during our annual Klei Publisher sale. During Klei Fest, we will have a burst of content, items, events, sales, and interesting things happening for all things Klei!



Say hello to two new characters: T. Rex and Venomess - two rocking reptilian members of Mutant Mayhem! A brand new Klei Created map, Rocco’s Arcade is a hotbed of hopping set in a retro-arcade pizza place. Of course with a new map and characters we have two new courses, and plenty of new collectables and accessories!



Our new content pack called "Fast Friends" includes some big performance boosts in both the base game and Spaced Out! DLC. We also have four new Duplicants, four new critter morphs and a dozen brand new Duplicant outfits craftable at the Clothing Refashionator building.



The enigmatic Corvus Goodfeather returns with a bunch of new prizes and three new games during the Midsummer Cawnival!


We will begin a new twitch Drop Campaign for the Rusty Anchor starting June 2nd.

And more!! We will also have some big announcements that you definitely don't want to miss, a few in fact.

See you next week!

The WX-78 Character Refresh is available now on Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam. Nintendo Switch will be getting this content in an upcoming update.

We're working on a large update to catch Nintendo Switch up with all platforms now that it's released with the goal of keeping it updated in line with them. Stay tuned for more details specific to Nintendo Switch.


After the wiring to their long-unused empathy module is repaired, WX-78 finds themselves suddenly reconnecting with memories they’d hoped to keep buried.

• WX-78 can create circuits that can be installed to unlock special abilities.
  
• WX-78 can unplug their circuits by utilizing a Circuit Extractor. Unfortunately, this means losing any charge that the circuits were taking up!
  
• WX-78 learns how to construct circuits by scanning organics with their Bio Scanalyzer.
  
• The Bio Scanalyzer also produces Bio Data, which is used to create circuits, alongside material from the scanned organic.
  
• WX-78's circuits are powered by their electrical charge meter. The meter restores itself over time, and can also be restored by other means.
  
• If WX-78 gets too wet, they begin losing electricity. If they run out of electricity, they begin to lose health.
  
• WX-78 also loses electricity when they are starving, as they no longer have the energy to maintain their charge level.
  
• WX-78 can eat gears to regain health, sanity, and hunger. If WX-78 dies, they will drop some of the gears that they have eaten.
  
• Clockworks are less aggressive towards WX-78.

For more info check out the main post on the official forums.

We have decided to revert the mouse targeting changes from the March 2022 Quality of Life update regarding attacking enemies and repeating actions while the mouse button is held down. These will now behave as they were before that update. We will be working to bring them back when they can spend some more time being tested internally.

• Actions like harvesting grass with the mouse have returned to require clicking each one instead of holding down the mouse button.
  
• Repeating actions where you use the same item, such as cooking on a fire or feeding Beefalo are still functional.
  
• Combat targeting with the mouse button has returned to the state where you must completely stop attacking before the target can be changed. Fixing this is a high priority task.
  
• This should also resolve issues around holding F to attack, delays between attacks, and some crashes.

WX-78 Deluxe Wardrobe ($10.99usd)
This Deluxe Wardrobe contains WX-78's complete set of Guest of Honor, Roseate, Survivor, Triumphant, and Experimental skin items.

Experimental Chest ($3.99usd)
This Experimental Chest contains the following belongings skin items: Electrified Lantern, Experimental Energy Siphon, and Experimentation Apparatus.




We're offering a new set of streaming drops over on Twitch.tv. Check out this post for details.




We have made shared unlocks now available for Xbox, Steam and Nintendo Switch, and WeGame.

For more information see our support post here.


We have an update coming out for you soon that will address some performance issues. We're also working on additional updates that will catch Nintendo Switch up a bit closer with the other platforms.
We will have more information for you as soon as it's available.


Hey look, points. We like points. Here, have some. On me.

I don't have information about the next update quite yet, but we do have something exciting to announce. We are currently in the process of making skins and unlocks available to players while playing offline on Nintendo Switch. We're investigating this for additional platforms as well. More details on how that will work will come at a later time.

Thanks again everybody and have fun out there!

• Fixed an issue where players would endlessly auto-attack when clicking the mouse button once.
  
• Fixed an issue where players were unable to mine rocks when clicking with the mouse button.
  
• Fixed an issue where players could not attack certain objects while holding down the mouse button.
  
• Fixed an issue where players would stop performing their current action when holding down the mouse button and moving away from the target.
  
• Fixed an issue where players would stop feeding Beefalo while holding down the mouse button.
  
• Fixed an issue where players would be stuck trying to chop down trees while holding down the mouse button.

The WX-78 character refresh will be released next week, Thursday April 28th!

• WX-78 can create circuits that can be installed to unlock special abilities.
  
• WX-78 can unplug their circuits by utilizing a Circuit Extractor. Unfortunately, this means losing any charge that the circuits were taking up!

Thanks to everybody that has been sending their feedback and bug reports during the beta period. We still have a little more to do before release, so keep it coming!

• Fixed an issue where players would sometimes stop attacking monsters in a mob.

  • If the attack and action buttons are assigned to the same button, then holding this button down will attack nearby monsters first before performing other actions.

• Fixed an attack delay issue when switching targets via mouse-clicking. 
  
• Fixed an issue where the wrong monster would be attacked by mouse-clicking. 
  
• Fixed the Ancient Guardian and Deerclops frequently dropping targets.

• For the 32-bit exe, disabling Texture Streaming will now force Small Textures to be enabled to prevent running out of memory.

Crafting

• Item Priority for crafting has been changed to the following:
  
  • Crafting will attempt to choose items with the smallest stack size
    
  • All open containers except backpacks first. If stack counts are the same, it will choose items closer to the bottom of the container.
    
  • Your inventory is next. If stack counts are the same, it will choose items closest to the left side of your inventory.
    
  • Your backpack is next. If stack counts are the same, it will choose items closest to the left side(integrated backpack) or top(separated backpack) of your backpack.
    
  • Finally, if you have an item on your mouse cursor, it will try that item.
• Ingredients required for a recipe can now be crafted directly from that recipe.
  
  • Eg: if you want to build a spear and have 2 twigs, 1 flint, 2 cut grass. When you attempt to build the spear, it will build the rope first, instead of requiring you to find the rope’s recipe and then head back to the spear’s recipe.
    
  • Note: This will only craft one level deep of required materials. It will not craft an ingredient’s ingredients.
    
  • An icon will display indicating which ingredients will be crafted.
• Filters added by mods will now resize the crafting menu to make room.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a memory leak when pitchforking or placing turf.
  
• Fixed a bug where the currently selected crafting menu filter would change when approaching or leaving a research station (eg: Science Machine).
  
• Fixed a bug preventing controllers from changing pin bar pages while the crafting menu is open.
  
• Fixed the mouse action prompts to show the correctly bound mouse button or key
  
• Added icons for all the mouse buttons.
  
• Sleeping Beefalo will now be woken up when a survivor attempts to ride them.
  
• Fixed character overrides like Wurt’s warpaint not applying after resurrection.
