"..In with the new" is now live and ready to play for beta participants. 

 

Below, you will find the notes for this update.

 

NOTE: This update will reset your binds to their defaults.

 

New Stuff

  • Add Wolfgang as an officially supported character.

  • Add meteor showers and associated resources and craftable.

  • Add slash commands (emotes).

  • Add Slash Command binding. Pressing [ / ] (default) will bring up chat with a “/” already entered.

  • Add ability to feed other players directly (rather than giving them food that goes into their inventory).

  • Add an indication of the host’s performance to the scoreboard screen.

  • Add a icon that appears in the top left when you (as a client) get desynced.

  • Add ability to join friends’ games via Steam (right click on their name in your Steam Friends list and click “Join game”)  while already in a game or when Don’t Starve Together isn’t open.

  • Added Ban button to the scoreboard screen. Bans reset when the server restarts.

  • Added main menu widget to show login progress.

  • Add hover text for all details icons in the server browser.

  • Add friends icon to the server browser details column (appears for games hosted by Steam Friends).

  • Add filter for servers hosted by Steam Friends to the server browser screen.

  • Add mods icon to the server browser details column.

  • Add button to display list of mods enabled on a server to the server detail panel.

  • Add a warning when joining a modded server.

  • Add a list of mods enabled on the server to the bottom of the scoreboard screen.

 

Changes

  • Make default world size large for all presets.

  • Version mismatch between you and servers will make that server’s listing red on the server browser screen.

  • Increase PvP damage to .5 of normal (up from .25).

  • Increase distance between hunts that happen simultaneously.

  • MODS_ENABLED is now defined in settings.ini (which can be found in the Documents\Klei\DoNotStarveTogether folder). To enable mods, open settings.ini and delete the “#” before the “MODS_ENABLED = true” line.

  • Change the chat font to match the characters’ dialog font.

  • Make the disconnected message for players who have been kicked more informative.

  • Put server name in report prompt.

  • Make server browser and creation screens say Back not Cancel.

  • Add new animation for exiting wormholes.

  • Make the default player color grey (rather than using one of the colors in the set of player colors).

Do we have to start a new world to get the new resources?

 

Yes: the meteor showers get put into the world at world gen time. As fair warning, this will be something that happens frequently with updates: in order to get all of the new content, you'll have to start a new world.

If you can feed players directly, cant you just feed them monster meat to kill them? That not really fair =/

 

I wonder about this as well. Heck, a bunch of candy could kill Maxwell. Also, can you waste food by force feeding people even if they are full?

 

Not to mention that feeding others directly seems like it would be pretty awkward.

It's also a way to waste food by overfeeding wolfgang.
