Winona's Character Update is Coming Next Week!

[Zeklo]

It just hit me. 

• Winona is getting a rework in DST (March). She worked in the Voxola factory.
• Willow is getting reworked in DST (April). She is notorious for starting fires.
• Wagstaff is getting added to DS (April). He owned(?) the Voxola factory. 

If that's not a perfect setup for explaining the Voxola factory burning down, and Wagstaff disappearing, then I don't know what is.

Are her new items structures or equipment?

If that's not apophenia setting us up, I don't know what is. Willow could've been persuaded by Maxwell to start the fires at the factory.

Who knows, the winona short might be a ongoing story.

wowzers! I will for sure play winona! :))

But... What about the FlexTape? Don't you dear taking that away, Klei! Lmao! 

This is kinda what i wanted. I like exclusive craftings, but i feel like they are less valuable now that you can change characters? 

Still, this is a step in the right direction imo. I am eager to see Wilson's new stuff, for example. 

SCIENCE, BOI. 

There were no changes made to her tape other than it now also being used to craft her new buildings.

Hey Everybody, 

The first Character Update for Don't Starve Together is coming next week on March 7th!

Winona has been hard at work since landing in the Constant, and she’s invented a couple new ingenious tools! Always ready to roll up her sleeves and lend a helping hand, her new Catapult and Spotlight inventions will be sure to keep her new pals safe, no matter what dangers head their way.

Winona’s Catapult

• Requires a rechargeable Generator to power
• AOE damage to the nearest enemy

Winona’s Spotlight

• Requires a rechargeable Generator to power
• Illuminates the nearest ally

Rechargeable Generators

• Winona’s Generator
  • Provides about a day’s worth of power
  • Requires nitre as fuel
• Winona’s G.E.M.erator
  • Provides 6 day’s worth of power 
  • Requires gems as fuel

However, Winona’s can-do attitude comes at a cost: 

• Winona now consumes hunger when speed-crafting
• Winona now crafts slowly when hungry (with no hunger cost)

With the update we will also have a new animated short and some huge changes to the drop system.

You won't want to miss this.

See you Thursday!
 

Oooh these sound awesome!!

[Russian_Philin]

Finally, this update will be released. Winona will be even stronger and cooler now. I'm waiting

i like the idea of her just literally duct taping highly complex machines together

so is there a way to voluntarily use normal crafting so you don't become a food draining monster for your team like a full Wolfgang just by doing stuff like crafting? or will you have to deal with draining food all the time to craft bear necessities?

or will it be a manageable amount of hunger drained?

[X-lem]

Interesting. I wonder what else her generator will power!

Those catapults sound amazing. I mean, I love Houndius Shootius(s) and they aren't even aoe! I wonder how they'll compare. I sincerely hope they aren't too powerful but regardless, it's gonna be awesome!!

[GuyNamedChris]

This is exciting! I sure hope the generators can be used for more than the exclusive structures. Maybe give slight buffs to WX's in the vicinity? Either way, I hope to see her in action soon.

I sure hope those spotlights don't devalue Mushlights

If you don't have a Winona on the server you can still use Mushlights.

[Nullum]

Let me rephrase about the spotlights themselves. Unlike mushlights which give off light on a certain area spotlights work the exact opposite of it, it focuses the light from the closest player henceforth the name spotlight. Mushlights are better due to their stationary nature of light its just that spotlights will take as an alternative solution before acquiring a more suitable permanent lighting.

I imagine gears will be used to craft her new buildings as well. Start stock piling now people!
