Did an update go under the radar? (Someone help me please, I think I'm going insane.)

This morning I was testing ingame on a klei server, and it seems like the werebeaver is now taking one gnaw to gnaw up stumps. Normally I would be happy, but I can't find any evidence of this update on the forums or even within the game's code. Is anyone else experiencing this or am I just a complete madman?

[DrMcGillacactus]

That's always been a thing. 

[Hornete]

As McGilla said, this has been a thing since the woodie rework. Before his rework he took 2 gnaws to dig a stump I believe.

[WoodieMain45684]

It was reduced to two during this update here (the hotfix that immediately followed the woodie rework):

Before this update it was three.

 

The only incarnation of woodie to ever do one gnaw per stump was singleplayer.

It's been one gnaw for me since the rework first came out

Which rework are you referring to? Can you send a link to the post? If you're talking about the rework that gave woodie 3 wereforms. This is the hotfix that came immediately after. The woodie rework was two years ago; what has happened since then?

I mean as soon as the initial update was released, and since then. It didn't say anything about the stumps on any of the update posts that I can remember, I just remember finding out by playing him

It was definitely always 2 up until the last time I played as woodie about a month ago. And quite unfair and tedious if you ask me so if they reduced it to just 1 it’s an amazing beaver QOL improvement.

Same, whatever the case I hope it stays.

[Notecja]

I hope it will stay this way. I was annoyed with two gnaws for stump while in DS you needed only once gnaw.

Btw. Did anybody had an issue with "disappearing" weremoose?

[Aeglefire]

I can attest to it being two gnaws for stumps in the past as well, and now it's 1 gnaw, yey! 

[Grim the]

I started playing after Walter had come out, so I'm certainly not remembering pre-rework, and I haven't played DS. I've always known it as 2 gnaws. However, I like this fix. Or change?

In the Wes update, 458469, workable components had a check added in place for working.

Before that update, the code for "incrementing" work was:

self.workleft = self.workleft - numworks

Now, the code is:

if self.workleft <= 1 then -- if there is less that one full work remaining, then just finish it. This is to handle the case where objects are set to only one work and not planned to handled something like 0.5 numworks
	self.workleft = 0
else
	self.workleft = self.workleft - numworks
end

So now, when Werebeaver gnaws on a stump, the stump has <= 1 work left to do, so it is set to 0 and the stump is dug up (Effectively doubling his work efficiency on stumps).

Basically, before Wes update, 2 gnaws. After Wes update, 1 gnaw.

Many thanks, penguin0616. I didn't think to check to see if the workable component updated. I just checked the woodie prefab to see if they changed the amount of work per gnaw for werebeaver lol.

Hope they don't bring it back up to 2 once they notice!
