When Abigail does the animation that she does when they’re are lune blossoms in the sisturn with a different skin from the base skin does anything but the flower look different

is the grass suit ever worth crafting?

It’s kind of underrated, honestly. Yeah 10 grass feels terrible, and yeah you’d probably rather have a backpack during the periods youre most likely to use it, but it also protects you during the periods when you are most vulnerable. I should probably make it more often.

How do you think tentacle spots work as reproductive organs?

I am super late to this but I personally sometimes use grass suits in the super early game if I want a ton of early cactus flesh and don't have an alchemy engine for a football helmet. log suit still does it better and only needs a science machine, but in fairness it's more expensive and you get more than enough grass and twigs from tumbleweeds in the desert so you dont need to spend time grinding extra logs when you would otherwise want to be exploring. otherwise zero uses

Sisturn should be able to function across worlds (surface and cave). This will make things much more convenient.

Should Woodie’s weregoose mastery have let him choose where he wanted to fly to, perhaps at an increased/full cost?

   Does Anyone else feel like this is just way too much on Screen stuff cluttering up your screen? I legit hate the new age of “Don’t Starve” cause THIS feels like one of those weird Over-Seas Gacha games where you try to avoid clicking one of the many on screen icons that asks if you want to buy 99.99$ worth of in game currency.

It’s ugly.. really ugly and I miss the simplicity Single Player Don’t Starve once had.

crafting, inventory, and stat UI has always been there, you can even reduce the size of the crafting & HUD. insight is non-recurring and appears infrequently, same as curio giftbox. scrapbook is.. well scrapbook, but there's a setting to disable it. point of interest icon can be disabled.

so this is barely scratching 10-15% of what a gacha game looks like. there's nothing on the screen that will push you to purchase mtx. i think you're blowing things out of proportion. and if you like simplicity, there's always classic DS for you. DST is a game with constant updates, it can't be stagnant and traditional and old school.

No it can’t, but as an Xbox player Without Access to Mods it would be nice to have options to do things such as Hide all the on screen clutter until I press a button that makes it visible again, or allows me to adjust the Opacity levels to be able to see what’s going on in the game behind all the HuD stuff.

I imagine them functioning close to corals for the spots having two functions, one being the release of spawn for sexual reproduction and the other being the space where unfertilized baby-tentacle tissue is stored before being used for asexual reproduction.

(that's why there is babies around the big tentacle in cave. I think they were all asexual offsprings that just spread around their parent)

Question: I have been farming for days (2 in game years already) using Wormwood. I still plant most of my crops on a farm plot. But I have never seen the lord of the fruitfly. Am I just unlucky, or is it something to do with Wormwood?

iirc you gotta have at least 15 crops grow when you're nearby (not sure if they all gotta be giants or not)

"nearby" is the really important part. Even if 30+ crops grow if you're not within the vicinity when it happens it just will not spawn. that's something i forget all the time and just completely miss out on the friendly fruit fly

they dont need to be giants though dw

At the end of each growth stage, the plant accumulates 1 stress point if there are rotten plants, Garden Detritus, rotten giant crops, or weeds within 1.5 tiles.

What should I add to my skill tree?

skill tree:
 

(befriended nurse spider to unlock)
    •    Unbreakable friendship: Make decorated dens  not break when attacked and spiders in the  Bedazzled range only attack attackers and nurses spawn from tier 3 + decorated dens ground webs no longer reduce


(Befriend all spider types)
    •    Beneficial bite : teach spiders how to “chop/mine” with each having the efficiency of a pig by demonstrating it done normally so they make the connection between that and them breaking down stuff + they eat yucuse snot now when you’re stuck 
   


    •    Silk harvester: razors can be used to remove webbing from tiles dropping two

    •    Rapid Growth: Webber can upgrade dens with 4 silk instead of 5 silk
 
 


    •    Regeneration sensitization:increase stats from nurse spiders for Webber(15 hp)

    •    Nocturnally adept: partial night vision  (sense spiders walk around at night) only silhouettes  not enough to not be attacked by Charlie but enough to  see where your going, reduced sanity lose from dusk or night              60-80% during dawn and 40-60% during night.


    •    Deep den sleeper:Stats for sleeping in dens to 2 health and 3 health per second 

    •    No picky eater: Webber has the ability to eat pig skin, bunny puffs, or any non human edible meats that pigs and spiders eat for 50-60 hunger

 


    •    Den Relocation: Tier 1 dens can be picked up by Webber and relocated (affects Decorated Dens + can remove and relocate the stickers)(pulled from @JJ0264)

    •    Unnatural brood: You are now able to craft the itsy bitsy nest reusing the baby spiders from the forge and they fill up a Polar Bearger Bin like item called the itsy bitsy nest and they would act as distractions somewhat like the parasitic shading  but the victim wouldn’t be immune to damage they each could only be outside the itsy bitsy nest for a total of 8 minutes after that they return to the itsy bitsy nest and nap and they’ll need to charge back up before using them again so they hunger durability that can be refilled using meat, honey, or electric milk/monster milk similar to the eye mask, but you decide if,when,and how many you takeout at a time so you can have them out over the course of multiple days without needing to recharge them. If you’re smart about it, also depending on what beard skin you have on will determine what they look like  they would look like tiny versions of what spiders from a den that has a queen that looks like that beards respective Webber skin as well as the egg sack having the same color,you get 6 slots with 12-20 second cool down until you can spawn the next one and they would do 9 damage,have 7 hp, upon death one will respond every 90 seconds 
(You need this to craft other 3 crafts and after the first 4 uses you need to replace the den decorating set for five more uses each time you run out)
8 silk, 3 paper, and 1 spider egg, 1 den decorating set,24 health

Concept examples:

 








(like this except they smile like befriended spiders)











    •    Carecrafts :  (unnatural brood required)
?:

?:

homemade den: You can make a homemade den if you place a cookie in the homemade den it will turn 2 spiders into that type, every time the den has a spider added it lose 1% durability, you can find out how much durability there is by inspecting, and you can repair it using silk but maybe by 2-5%. it has 12 spiders with the inventory of a scaled chest but for spiders only, it’ll take 90 seconds for each spider to respawn it (and how it will respawn a spider after the 90 seconds is the lightning conductor purple gem combination will cause lightning to strike around up in the respawned to spider crawl out of the ground like rapid king as a reference to how you unlock Webber in solo Don’t Starve)
it will spawn that Webbing Wickerbottom spawns with Overcoming Arachnophobia around it, craft the homemade den  with some number of bone shards and silk to make a sort of kit when you add a purple gem, a lightning conductor and one use of the den decorating set, you could also call the spiders out of the den by interacting with it
And it can be broken using a hammer


 

    •    Silkcrafts:
Silk shooter: 
?:

Silk spindle:@blacknight7890 came up with an idea I re named it and changed its look but other then that it’s all there’s Learn to craft a 'Silk spindle', [like a giant spindle with spider hair and  a finial on it (with white string when silk is on it)] a structure that can be placed near decorated spider dens. Spiders will spin webs onto it over time, can be harvested for silk." [passive silk farming]

finial looks like this:



    •    Garden spider :farm like Webber does in the gorge and learn more from the gardeneer hat


(Icon borrowed from @BiddoBams’ Warly skill tree)
    •    Spider Goatherder: learn to milk volt goats that won’t be disturbed by Webber anymore and calm charged volt goats by feeding them any number of Wobsters, bananas,meat,Burch nuts, pomegranates,eggs, Asparagus, pumpkin seeds (doing this while not charged will make them follow you for a short period time to allow for easier relocation)

    •    Silk stitch: You can now repair things with silk like Winona’s trusty tape

    •    acidophilic arachnid: when in acid rain Webber gets: 

Attack Damage    Physical DamageTaken    Move Speed
+5%    -2.5%    +1.5%

    •    Queen decorator: you can now decorate spider queen that will give her all the same effects of a decorated den(if you have unbreakable friendship, decorations won’t fall off when hit and will only attack attackers), when fighting nearby, spider queen will send over befriended nurse spiders to your aid

    •    Animalistic arachnid: Webber has the same all fours running ability as Wilbur and wonkey, when you fight bare handed you use your claws doing double the normal amount of damage

    •     In the spirit of friendship: When dying with Webber will drop 2 spider glands, Webber can give players the shoebox and they could only use it for its calling off aggressive spider function

    •    Garden spiders:
Flame touched spiders:  has built in scale mail as well as can cook
Switcherdoodle: 2 monster meat, 2 silk, 2 fire nettle fronds

Does anyone know what they've changed exactly?

I checked the update post during beta and found nothing.

Why do bee stingers disappear so quickly in rain now??? Like I legit can’t finish killing the swarms of bees long enough to pick up the stingers before they start disappearing. Can the duration of how long I have to pick these up maybe be extended by a bit? <3

not sure why you think stingers disappear in the rain..? i suspect the stingers stack up by themselves, so only "one" item on the ground but it's actually a stack of X stingers, and you didn't notice it? unless it is because of a mod that i have.

It’s a mod.. on Xbox stingers disappear when it’s raining, and they do it rather quickly.. I had a hard time gathering ammo for Walters new bee stinger rounds cause the darn things kept disappearing in the eternal rain that is spring.

I believe Klei changed it so stingers and rot etc will intentionally wash away in rain so it gets rid of world lag/clutter etc… but, Bro I’m not joking you have a longer grace period to collect willows flame embers and Wortox souls before they disappear then you have for bee stingers.

Im not even going to bother to report it as a bug either, it was mentioned as an intentional change in patch notes sometime back ago and until I actually wanted to mass farm them (for Walters bee stinger rounds) I never paid much attention to how fast they disappear.

I can’t kite and kill the bees to pick up the stingers fast enough.

Is not a mod, is how stingers work. Klei added the same feature of stacking as used for hound teeth, monter meat and rot

My Crabpack skin doesn't exist in the Beta branch of the game, anyone has an idea why?  Also it looks like the new skins that come with this update are not in the Beta as well.

I was hoping to use the Beta branch as a second client/account and play privately there, while the main branch is used for content creation. Sucks to find out this way
