Okay, fix is live!

Negotiation Graft bug fix is in, but we're having a bit of trouble with the upload process, we're looking into it. Thanks for the report!

And we made a little video to celebrate!

Er, Oolo's snail...

Hello everyone! We’ve been a bit quiet about Don’t Starve in the last few months, but we’ve been hard at work. Today I’d like to announce a few new things that we’ve been working on: Don’t Starve: Hamlet The first thing to announce is that we’ve been working on another Don’t Starve singleplayer DLC! Wilson has found the portal to the origins of the Pigmen, and he’s off to explore their civilization. There may be some bushwhacking and tomb raiding involved, too. Hamlet will be available in Q1/Q2 2018. More information will be shown as we get closer to launch. You can check out the store page for screenshots and wishlist it here. Don’t Starve: Shipwrecked Content Update We have a little surprise for you: Shipwrecked is getting more content! We have added the following to the game as a free update. In order to test these changes, we’ve put it into a Steam branch called “beta” with the password “shipwreckedbeta”, which is available now. Here are instructions on how to access the beta: http://support.kleientertainment.com/customer/portal/articles/2873712 World Crockodogs. Will hound you at land and sea. Ballphin followers and the Ballphin Den. Roe. New food item. Stocks the fish farm. Cormorants. New sea bird. Source of Roe. Tar Slick. Pools of crude oil bubbling on the surface of the water. Tar. New resource. 3 new variety of tropical fish. Rainbow Jellyfish. Coral Nubbin. Replant coral after it's mined. Ox will produce offspring. New Craftables Galley and Sea Lab . Make your base at sea. Sea Yard. Keeps your ship repaired on the water. Tar Extractor. Gets Tar from Tar Slick. Tar Suit. Temporary protection from wetness. Tar patch. A sticky situation. Oil Lamp. Quick lightsource for land and sea. Fish Farms. Grow food on the water. Encrusted Boat. Quackering Ram. New craftable for the Quacken Beak. Sea wall. Water craftable wall. Blocks waves. Tropical Bouillabaisse. New recipe with new tropical fish. Caviar. New recipe with Roe Don’t Starve Together: The Forge In addition to the singleplayer DLC, we are also announcing that we are working on a series of events for Don’t Starve Together. DST events are limited-time play modes that create a new way to play with the cast of Don’t Starve. They serve as a way to mix up the experience, allowing us to try crazy new things without breaking the core game. Events are free for everyone who owns DST to play and will be coming in November. With the Ancient Gateway activated our survivors now find themselves trapped in a hostile world of fire and battle. They’ll need to team up to defeat the Battlemaster’s army and his champion, the Grand Forge Boarrior, if they have any hopes of returning home. Here’s what’s in store in Don’t Starve’s first event, The Forge: 6-player co-op challenge, where the goal is to try and defeat the Grand Forge Boarrior in an arena. The only way to survive will be to work together. New creatures and bosses with their own attack patterns. New character traits for all characters, each with their own bonuses during combat. New weapons, armor, items, and combat abilities to help you survive the onslaught. Players who participate in the event will also be eligible to earn event specific skins. For the skin system, we are doing several changes: Far more skins will drop for players than ever before (by a factor of 4x or more!) There’s a new trader in town! If you get duplicates, you will be able to break them down to scrap and craft them into event items. The event features event-time skin drops, including the Warrior Skin Set, putting each character in grizzled gladiator-wear. In addition to the chance of receiving them as drops, players will have the option to purchase a single character’s Warrior Skin Set for $2.99, or the entire Warrior Skin Set collection for $12.99. The nature of the skins themselves will not change, they are still purely cosmetic and optional. However, purchase of the Warrior Set will help us fund further content and events like this one. We hope that with this mechanism, we can both continue creating great free content while also supporting the development team. In addition, this method of funding allows us to provide content to all our players, instead of splitting the player community if we implemented it with a DLC paywall. This is just the first of many experiments we intend to run, and we would love your feedback! We have many ideas for events, and we would love to know what you would liketo see. And more! Besides events, we will also continue working on Quality of Life improvements and bug fixes. And finally, a new challenger has arrived in Don’t Starve Together, and she is coming to all platforms and is available on Steam now! Armed with her indomitable spirit and trusty mending tape, Winona seems to have been plucked straight off the factory line and dropped into the world of Don’t Starve for something or someone’s unfathomable amusement. There may be more to her arrival than it appears, however, as more than a few eyes will be watching the next move of the newest survivor… Whew, that’s it! Once again, thank you for your support of our games! F.A.Q. When is Hamlet coming? We estimate Q1/Q2 next year, but as always, we’ll keep working until we feel it’s ready! Why not sell DLC for Don’t Starve Together instead of skins? DST is a multiplayer game, and we decided that we want everyone to be able to play, instead of splitting the community. We hope that in this way, we can continue to develop updates for the game while allowing everyone to enjoy it. When is The Forge being released? We are aiming to release it this November. Are the events coming to console? The events are going to launch first on PC, but we are looking into bringing them to other platforms at a later date.

Hey everyone! As we enter Early Access, the Alpha price of $19.99 will be retired and the base price will become $24.99. In addition to this, we will be providing a 20% loyalty discount for all Klei game owners, so for these players the game will continue to be $19.99. However, while adjusting the prices, we realized that certain currencies had odd Steam pricing tiers that were non-linear, and in conjunction with loyalty pricing, we found that Early Access players could end up getting the game cheaper than our Alpha fans. We think that’s not great, as we really appreciate players taking the chance on us for Alpha. Thus as a thanks for supporting us, we will be providing a free gift for ALL our Alpha players. On July 12, all players who purchased the alpha version of the game will be given the opportunity to choose a gift from a selection of our top selling games. If you already own all of the games (thanks for your support!) then you will be able to choose a gift box containing rare Don't Starve Together skins, with a guarantee of at least 1 elegant skin. This offer will only be available to Alpha players who purchased the game at the original price and will not apply to purchases made during Early-Access. We will have more details about this offer when it’s available. For now, you can head over here and let us know if you would like to be notified when your gift is ready. Thank you so much for playing Oxygen Not Included, your feedback has been amazingly helpful! Now Live! This offer Ended June 30, 2018 Qualified players can now head on over to http://oxygenalphagift.klei.com/ and get your gift!

I just want to echo @JoeW: lots of great feedback. Thank you!

@kraken121 -- Don't Starve Together uses a lot of the Steam API's to function, so at this time, Don't Starve Together is only available on Steam. If you have a standalone key, that should work just fine on Steam, though!

Hello everyone, It’s time for another update on Don’t Starve Together! In our previous Roadmap Update we announced that we were focused on 4 major things; dedicated servers, controller support, Mac/Linux support and Reign of Giants. As of recently we have achieved each of these goals. While we have some more work to do to polish these things, they are currently looking good and we want to update you all on what’s next. We can now confirm that Don’t Starve owners will be gifted Don’t Starve Together on June 3, 2015. For everyone who has participated in Early-Access so far, we are extremely appreciative. Your playtesting has been amazingly helpful to help us scale our systems. Now that Reign of Giants content is in, we need a bit more time to make some adjustments and iron out the bugs on this massive update, which will take a few more weeks. Initially, we had wanted to wait until the caves content (more info below) was in before opening the floodgates, but we believe that the game’s in great shape and players have waited long enough. So come June 3rd, all Don’t Starve owners in Steam who don’t already own Don’t Starve Together will get DST for free; and we will continue with Early-Access in order to complete the caves, fix up any leftover bugs and make some more general improvements and other goodies as we have throughout early-access. On June 3rd, new Don’t Starve owners will no longer get Don’t Starve Together, and there will no longer be a loyalty discount. In other words, if you haven’t bought Don’t Starve yet, now would be a good time to do so! The main packages available on June 3rd will be the following: Don’t Starve will continue to be $14.99Don’t Starve Together will be $14.99, and include an extra giftable copy of Don’t Starve Together for your friendDon’t Starve + Don’t Starve Together + a giftable copy of Don’t Starve Together will be $19.99Now that we’ve covered that, let’s discuss a bit about the future content updates. Upcoming Updates In the short term, we are continuing to make lots of improvements to the game. Some things include: More collaborative tools to help players work with each other (writeable signs, anyone?)A streamlined UI to help players find the servers they’re looking for, and more easily manage their servers.Moddable vote-kick options.And more!Through the Ages A few months ago, we also discussed our plans for Through the Ages, and our expected timeline. Our priorities have been to get the game ready for Don’t Starve owners first, and then work on Through the Ages -- because this took longer than expected, we’ve had to push out the date for Through the Ages content. I don’t have concrete dates for this right now, but I can say that we’re actively working on the content and will become our focus after Early-Access ends. As we discussed, this expansion is free for all players! Caves Because caves is implemented as a separate world in Don’t Starve (it is separately generated), it is a relatively significant technical hurdle for Don’t Starve Together. We’re currently working on some ideas, and when we have more information to give you we’ll update you as we have more information. F.A.Q. After June 3, will new purchases of Don’t Starve get Don’t Starve Together for free? No, we will only be gifting a free copy of Don’t Starve Together on June 3rd;This means that June 2nd, will be the last day to qualify to receive Don’t Starve Together by purchasing Don’t Starve. After this date, there will no longer be a loyalty discount to upgrade to Don’t Starve Together as well. When is the end of Early-Access? We do not have a current date for the end of Early-Access. When we have a solid date, we will make sure we announce it here.

Hey everyone! Okay, we’re now into the next phase of our Beta! I just wanted to keep you abreast of how things are going, and what is going to happen in the next phase. A long time ago, we discussed making Don’t Starve Together an update to Don’t Starve, and then raising the price of Don’t Starve to compensate. As we continued with building Don't Starve Together, the code diverged significantly, and it became clear that Don’t Starve Together would be a standalone expansion. Thus, it didn’t make sense to force a price increase on our players, so in order to give players more choice, we’ve done the following: All owners of Don’t Starve on Steam will get Don’t Starve Together on June 3rd 2015! If you would like to buy both Don’t Starve and Don’t Starve Together as a bundle post-launch, it is $19.99 -- the same price as if we increased the price of Don’t Starve. If you would only like to buy one or the other, it is $14.99. This way, people who currently own Don’t Starve on Steam still get multiplayer for free, and all new players get more choice. From a pricing perspective, it’s either the same price (the bundle) or cheaper (if you just want one of the other). To wrap up, instead of simply updating Don't Starve, we have made it a stand-alone expansion, and we are gifting the game to all Don't Starve players on June 3rd, 2015. If you haven't already, see our Roadmap for info about what things are coming for DST. I hope that clears things up for everyone! Once again, let me know your comments / questions and we’ll be happy to discuss. Now, on to making Wilderness Mode.

Nope! If you're already in the DST Beta already, you don't need to buy Frontier Pack since you already have access.

THIS INFORMATION APPLIES TO PURCHASES MADE BEFORE JUNE 3rd 2015 Heeeeeere we go! As you know, when we opened up the initial Beta signups, we were overwhelmed with the demand, and in a few days we received well over 80,000 registrations. Since then, we’ve steadily sent out keys to people who signed up. In the run up to the holiday season, we’ve decided to open up the Beta to everyone who signed up for our initial Beta test. Between today and December 15, 2014, we will be sending invites to everyone in the initial batch of beta signups. That equates to about 65,000 people, each of whom will get 2 keys. Click here to skip to the FAQ. In addition to that, we’re announcing the following: Through the AgesSince DST came out, we’ve been hammering on technical improvements that make the game smooth for everyone. We’ve been working on rubber banding, network performance, bugs, balance, administrative tools for hosts, full mod support, and we’ve even been adding new DST-specific content. In addition to these things, we knew that we would also need larger scale content to really support the new worlds that are being created. Specifically, worlds are lasting not just months but years, and those who are behind the scenes are unhappy with how easy-going the inhabitants have become. We’re thus working on a brand new, free content pack called “Through the Ages”, chock full of new content designed specifically for multiplayer. This expansion is free for all players, and will be available in the Spring of 2015. Here's a sneak peek of what’s to come: Frontier PackAs part of the Beta signup process, we’ve found that there are a lot of people who really want into the Beta, and even while giving out a hundreds of keys every day, it became clear to us that we needed a release valve for the demand. Specifically, people were starting to buy keys in back channels, with varying success, and it became clear we needed to provide a clear, official channel for access. With that in mind, we’re announcing the Frontier Pack. The Frontier Pack includes:A copy of Don’t StarveTwo copies of Don’t Starve Together (with Beta access) Once we finish delivering the 80,000 sets of beta keys from our early signups, we will be releasing the Frontier Pack. Currently, we aim for that to be in mid-December, but we’ll need to play it by ear to make sure our game is in a solid state. For people who do NOT own Don’t Starve on Steam, the Frontier Pack will be $19.99. For owners of Don’t Starve on Steam, since they would be getting DST for free on June 3rd 2015, it will only be $4.99 and will include 2 copies of DST, one for yourself and one for a friend. (This will not include another copy of Don't Starve.) We hope that everyone feels this is a fair way to get into the Beta, introduce the game to new players, and yes, to help the ongoing development of the game. ---- In order for us to deliver Through the Ages, we will be focusing most of our ongoing updates on technical features rather than new content (though we reserve the right to throw some bonus extras once in a while). Thus, you will continue to see mod improvements, server updates, Reign of Giants integration, and more. I hope this helps clear up what’s currently happening with DST! Let me know your comments / questions and we’ll be happy to discuss it with you as always. F.A.Q. What is Don't Starve Together?How do I get Don't Starve Together?Do I have to buy Frontier Pack to get Don't Starve Together?Will you still be giving out more DST keys throughout the Beta?Why the Frontier Pack?I already own Don’t Starve on Steam. How does the Frontier pack work for me?I do not own Don’t Starve on Steam. How does the Frontier pack work for me?Is Don't Starve Together available to non-Steam users?Didn't you say DST was an update to DS? What’s the deal? What is Don't Starve Together? Don't Starve Together is a stand-alone multiplayer expansion to Don't Starve. This is a separate game from Don’t Starve, and you are not required to own one to play the other. How do I get Don't Starve Together? Players who currently own Don't Starve on Steam will receive Don't Starve Together for free on June 3, 2015. If you would like to get into the Early-Access Beta before that, you can do so by purchasing the Frontier Pack. Do I have to buy Frontier Pack to get Don’t Starve Together? Nope! If you own Don’t Starve on Steam today, you can simply wait until June 3rd, 2015; you’ll get it for free at that time. Frontier pack is only for those who wish to join Early-Access before June 3rd. Will you still be giving out more DST keys throughout Beta? Yes, in addition to the Frontier Pack, we will be giving out more Beta keys to help more people get into DST. The Frontier Pack is just one more way to allow players to get into the Beta. Why the Frontier Pack? Since we launched the Closed Beta a couple months ago, we’ve consistently been asked for an official channel to get into the Beta. We created the Frontier Pack to create this official channel, without opening the floodgates completely. I already own Don’t Starve on Steam. How does the Frontier pack work for me? Since you already own Don’t Starve on Steam, the Frontier pack will be discounted 75% to $4.99 and includes immediate access to Don't Starve Together, as well as another copy to give to your friend as a tradeable item in your Steam Inventory. I do not own Don’t Starve on Steam. How does the Frontier pack work for me? If you do not own Don’t Starve on Steam, the Frontier pack is $19.99 and includes 1 copy of Don’t Starve and Don’t Starve Together for yourself and a copy of Don’t Starve Together for a friend. The friend copy of Don’t Starve Together comes as a tradeable item in your Steam Inventory. If you purchased the game on gog.com, contact support and we will help you out. Is Don't Starve Together available to non-Steam users? Don't Starve Together uses a lot of the Steam API's to function, hence, at this time, Don't Starve Together is only available on Steam. Didn't you say DST was an update to DS? What’s the deal? Yes, originally we planned Don't Starve Together to be a simple update to Don't Starve. However, as we continued to develop it, we realized it needed to be a separate game altogether because too many features were diverging. Instead of raising the price of vanilla Don't Starve, we can now keep the same pricing of Don't Starve, and create a bundle for Don't Starve and Don't Starve Together, giving all players more choice. Starting June 3rd, 2015, the price for Don’t Starve Together will be $14.99, or $19.99 for both Don’t Starve and Don’t Starve Together. To wrap up, instead of simply updating Don't Starve, we have made it a stand-alone expansion, and we are gifting the game to all Don't Starve players on Steam - June 3rd, 2015. For a fuller explanation, see our this post.

Yeah, I fixed this in the dev branch already. This should come out with our next big update, which is a bit TBD because it includes a bunch of other changes we're in the process of developing. Indeed it was a product of forking and then further development.
