using mod content like this is of course a bad practice, but i'm begging you all to hold Klei accountable for the same thing they literally already did with no backlash

What Klei did was definitely weird but I thought that was pretty clearly just an odd placeholder. Here they went as far as to draw over the original art, seems like they intended to actually use it

i could be getting something wrong though

Hey everybody - 

We're checking into this.

mean I’m no Lawyer or anything like that but im pretty sure that in that really really loooooonnnggg agreement you agreed to before you could play the game/make mods to use in the game you agreed to a Terms of Use contract, and in said contract they likely have the rights to use anything you put in the mod workshop with or without your permission & in any way they see fit in doing so.

While technically that might be true, that's not something we would do without asking and certainly not without explicit approval.

The Wepeatski thing I assume is just some cross contamination - but this other thing needs to be investigated. We'll get it sorted with the parties involved. 

Thanks for the heads up!

Dont forget about the vaporeon fins

I thought those were reused from malbatross, from the top of his head (hence the "tross" in its name lol)

Also looking at it again, it seems to have big woby's feet I think... And I have no idea where that tail could be from... it looks like victorian wurt's tail, but it has a different tip.

It's probably a mix of beta art if I had to guess though. Don't know what they could have been testing, maybe beefalo skins from YOTB

I thought the opposite, i thought the tail was malbatrosses and didnt know the fins, but looking at a pic, malbatross has a single fin in the back of its head and a feathery tail rather than a scaly one

Feels worth bringing up, it seems like they might've taken from Geometric Placement as well judging by this old screenshot

Seems worth looking into

[_zwb]

If I remembered correctly there's also a built-in smart Crockpot feature?

[BezKa]

I wouldn't say that's the same thing. It's mainly the art part that is important, and neither geometric placement nor smart crockpot have completely new assets- as far as I know.

The art in that screenshot is some of the oldest stuff from when Newhome was first announced. The art style has improved a lot over time, but of course the first few things they drew are going to look wonky.

I've gone ahead and restored/implemented the Otter Dens. Going off their designs, it seems obvious they were meant to be Lunar Island beach mobs.
Judging off the animations, the dens were meant to be able to be attacked and frozen like Spider dens. I wonder if they were hostile.

Alongside that, I've also implemented the Wobster.
There's not much evidence, but going off the visual design and colors used, alongside it being designed after a Coconut crab, I'm assuming they were intended to be tropical variants found on the Moon Quay island.

I wonder why Klei dont add them ocean mobs. Can someone give me silhouette.png? that horrifying big and I mean BIG shadow?

These would go a very long way towards making those empty islets out in the water feel more lived within.

im not talking about on Moon Quay or on Lunar, I mean those islands that only have like a dead fish or Boulder on them or something.

I REALLY hope Klei will add geometric placement as an official feature in some of the QoL updates.

Its a must-have mod for me.

Ahaha, I keep hearing this, but alas they're right side up.
That's their eyestalks sticking up, with the rigid bit being their shell.
I assume they're based off a Coconut crab, with elements of Kingcrab for their shell.

Still looks very upside down, lacking a mouth and abdomen, I wonder if the file was just inverted for their dead variation and left it like that. If you turn it around it makes a lot more sense with the fur as the abdomen and the pointy bits on the head as the mouth.

It does flip over in its death animation. To be fair, regular Wobsters don't have overtly defined abdomens either.
Though the pointed bits actually do have outlines for the eye glow to go in, a bit hard to notice but it's there. They're eyestalks!

Those two look so good, they add so much life and atmosphere. Hopefully this is upcoming content long in the works and back burner rather than scrapped content.

PLEASE! does anyone have a link to all the anim files from newhome? i really need it!

Oh My god! These are so good. I really hope klei implement them.
Do you have a mod or something with them?

[-Variant]

Long time no post again.

I've dug up another backpack, this one of the Dfly. Almost identical to the existing one, just of her non-enraged form! It's super cute.

Spoiler

And these aren't new, but I couldn't find the original post and thought these looked really nice.
There's a lot of unused moon craters!

Spoiler

I don't recall if I've ever posted these, but there's a lot of unused gas effects. They share designs with that of Toadstools, and possibly even Fumeagator's gas.

Spoiler

And some unused Honey effects.

Spoiler

This looks to be an early/different version of lava vomit.

Spoiler

Yet ANOTHER unused version of the fire fissure. So many!

Spoiler

Some cracked lava ground.

Spoiler

Something super interesting I found!
Looks like there's a fully finished, unused Hamlet themed skin for the Pighouse. Akin to that of the log cabin skin.

Spoiler

Now, for the last one.

In my previous dumb, I dug up a the bridge mod's assets within the files, and being used in-game.
In this current iteration, these all seem to still be included.
On top of that, there's this really odd turf file.

There's an odd mixture of HD vanilla turfs, and what I imagine are modded turfs. I won't say for certain as I've been unable to track down any origin point for them, though. 
I can see vanilla DST turfs and what I believe are Hamlet turfs. Then there's others which I can't find any source for. None appear to be in the usual DSN style, either. Any pointers would be appreciated!
