The Curse of Moon Quay is Coming Next Week!

Don't Starve Together - Klei-JoeW

Next Week on June 30th, we will bring Don't Starve Together: The Curse of Moon Quay to the live version of the game for all players!

The Curse of Moon Quay

Someone has been meddling... or should we say, monkeying around with the forces of the Constant, leaving an unstable rift between worlds in their wake. With new sea-faring foes, creatures and resources now free to pour into the Survivors' world, the ocean is more dangerous than ever before... but is this just the start of what's to come?

And of course, a big "Thank you!" to everybody that has been helping us with bugs and feedback during the beta!

For New Features see the spoiler below:
[expand type=Spoiler]

New Moon Quay Island and inhabitants.
Ocean Privateers.
New upgrades for boating:
- Grass Boat
- Kelp Bumper
- Shell Bumper
- Cannon and Cannonballs
- Rudder
- Trawler
- Polly Roger's Hat
Docks
Nautopilot and Nautopilot Beacon
New perspectives on life.

[/expand]

Additional Changes:

Map controls will now be more intuitive.
- Zooming will now focus on the cursor.
  - An option in the advanced settings can be used to disable this feature.
- Zooming in and out will now be smooth.
  - An option in the advanced settings controls how fast zooming is.
- Rotating the map will be around the current location and not the player.
- Controllers will see a smooth directional panning experience.
- Panning the map will try to keep a portion of the map visible on the center of the screen.
- Some mods that interact with the map or create new map instances may need to be updated for some of these features to work.
Favorite food bonus now takes into account Warly’s spices.
- Mods that require a spiced food will still function as expected. Having an affinity for a spiced variant and a regular food item will use whichever gives the most benefit.
Cactus and Oasis Cactus have been added to world regrowth.
Reeds and Cactus now have settings for world regrowth.
Big Woby will now eat the food given to her instead of staring at it.

The hottest fixes this side of a neutron star

Slipways - krajzeg

If you've been paying attention, you might have noticed that the game has updated quite a few times since the release of the third update. This was due to various hotfixes being applied, as usual, to fix various small bugs discovered shortly after release. Nothing like hundreds of people playing the game to shake things out!

Here is a list of things fixed so far:

- Ranked: There was a problem that prevented scores from uploading for about 10 hours after release. This is now fixed, and if you reopen ranked, your scores should reupload without any additional trouble.
- Crash: Building a Ba'qar hubworld in their campaign mission resulted in a crash because the wormhole was missing and this confused the poor hubworld.
- Crash: Some very old saves made with previous versions of the game failed to load with a full crash. They no longer do that.
- Wormhole: Speaking about wormholes, it used to not notice when you invented a tech increased your probe range. It should be more observant now.
- Void Synthesizer: Used to do weird things when fed with energy with "Energy-Driven Industry" invented. Will now refuse to consume things that don't sit well with it.
- Hyperdense Architecture: Behaved incorrectly when paired with other projects on the same planet using Orbital Engineering. Should now play well with others.
- Empathic Links: Incorrectly interacted with undo when invented, allowing you to have the cake and eat it. Or rather have your science and... eat the people? Something like that.
- Excess Perk: Behaved inconsistently when manual assignment of resource was required. Now it will give the bonus to the first connection that *could* deliver the second resource, even if it doesn't get delivered immediately.
- Sector quirks: Interference had its score modifier going the completely wrong way.

After the hotfixes, the version numbers should now be up to v1.3(b1043) on Windows and v1.3(b1044) on Mac.
