Thank you Mr. Hansen.

[Wendy C. 1100]

I was in the middle of a game when this launched, so slightly annoyed by that. 
But a good couple of changes regardless.

Will Wurt's and Wormwood's quotes about being too wet be changed with this change? Wurt's quotes used to say she liked wetness but were changed after a bug report. These are the old quotes:

	ANNOUNCE_DAMP = "Ahh... wetter feel better, florp!",
	ANNOUNCE_WET = "Mermfolk love water, florp!",
	ANNOUNCE_WETTER = "Feels good on scales!",
	ANNOUNCE_SOAKED = "Aaah, splish-splash!",

and these are the new ones:

	ANNOUNCE_DAMP = "Bit soggy...",
	ANNOUNCE_WET = "Feel too soggy now...",
	ANNOUNCE_WETTER = "Too wet... even for Mermfolk, florp.",
	ANNOUNCE_SOAKED = "Is too much water! Too much!",

I don't think Wormwood's quotes were ever changed (and they probably don't need to be considering items still slip out of his hands), but here they are:
 

	ANNOUNCE_DAMP = "Rain!",
	ANNOUNCE_WET = "Little wet",
	ANNOUNCE_WETTER = "Really wet",
	ANNOUNCE_SOAKED = "Too wet!",

Watering cans putting out all nearby fires is the best thing ever.. now I can actually play with random strangers & not have to watch over that suspicious Willow like a Hawk.

[Hornete 16425]

We finally got the Wurt, Wendy and Wes Community Voted Vignettes! Along with a neat little vignette of the survivors around a big tomato. Absolutely overjoyed, thanks for the wonderful updates!

[DerpyButDeadly 15]

As soon as this update dropped, I suddenly was removed from the Return of Them beta, and it's no longer listed in Steam under the betas that can be joined. Anyone have ideas why that may be and what I can do to get access to the beta again?

Can't wait to use watering cans for snurtle shell farming!

LoL.. uhm- there currently is no active Beta available (and there likely won’t be again till at earliest late January) your no longer in the Reap What You Sow Beta because the update is no longer in Beta.

You'll have to wait until the next Beta to join.

because the beta was just for testing new content to be released. today that content was released, so there's nothing to test on the beta. it's all on the main branch. you can play that now

Snurtle shell farming? With watering cans?- oh, right. It puts out fires now. Wait, won't it damage the den still?

As long as you put the fire out before the den explodes it'll take no fire damage

This change makes sense, but it sadly makes the luxury fan even more niche

Does this mean it can water Wild Crops too now? Kind of silly if it can effect everything with its water except wild crops.
