Jason 4,004 Posted February 7, 2019 The Character Update is now live! This update focuses on making our new Hamlet characters more interesting for you to play, particularly when playing outside of the Hamlet world. Wilba has inherited one of her father's more colourful characteristics, namely, she now carries the same curse that inflicts all of her father's family with dreaded werepigism. Also, all of pigkind from Hamlet's town pigs to those of ROG will now recognize her as the king's daughter, and pay her tribute in the form of gifts. We weren't very happy with how Warbucks was working out. While trying to find ways to make him work, we decided that he just wasn't as interesting as we would like, and so we've made the decision to start from scratch with a new character. You can still continue your Warbucks saves as his files will not be removed from the game, but he will no longer be in the official lineup of starting characters. Instead, we would like to introduce to you our new character, Wormwood! Who knows where this creature of nature came from, but he'll likely grow on you. Thank you for playing, and we look forward to hearing your feedback! New features Added options for disabling the decorative vines and the canopy shadow in Hamlet for lower-end hardware. Blooming Rainforest trees will drop burrs when chopped Bug Fixes Webber's disguise will show up if put on the ground now. Fixed random startup crash with blueprints in Hamlet compatible worlds. Fixed assert when trying to launch the game with The Screecher mod enabled. Lazy Forager doesn’t collect items off shelves anymore. Affected saves should be fixed Bundling wrap now works with controller. Zoomed inventory management (with controller) should now behave properly with shelves. Fixed "Text not found" in recipe popups when not near needed prototyping machine. Fixed an assert on load of some Hamlet compatible ShipWrecked worlds. Burned crops just produce burnt seeds unless fully mature View full update 26 12 3 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bluegeist 1,625 Posted February 7, 2019 I feel like someone died lol, no more Warbucks...wow I liked Wormwood's horns, but my twin made a good point that he looks more plant-y now. I think I'll get used to it 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh god he comes in stages. ooooooo now that's interesting. he does look pretty seed-like right now, so perhaps he gets more tree-like later? Or maybe it changes with the seasons xD definitely will be exploring this tonight when i can play again 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CheeseNuggets101 993 Posted February 7, 2019 Removing Warbucks was a great decision. I am happy he's actually gone, Warbucks as a whole was a bad decision from the start and just not a good character, design and personality wise the most. I can finally say thanks, Klei, I hope he doesn't return. 12 7 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
