Developer StevenM Posted April 14, 2022 Developer Share Posted April 14, 2022 No need to grind your gears waiting any longer, the WX-78 refresh is now up on the beta branch! Let's take a look at what's new. WX-78 Changes WX-78 can create circuits that can be installed to unlock special abilities. WX-78 can unplug their circuits by utilizing a Circuit Extractor. Unfortunately, this means losing any charge that the circuits were taking up! WX-78 learns how to construct circuits by scanning organics with their Bio Scanalyzer. The Bio Scanalyzer also produces Bio Data, which is used to create circuits, alongside material from the scanned organic. WX-78's circuits are powered by their electrical charge meter. The meter restores itself over time, and can also be restored by other means. If WX-78 gets too wet, they begin losing electricity. If they run out of electricity, they begin to lose health. WX-78 also loses electricity when they are starving, as they no longer have the energy to maintain their charge level. WX-78 can eat gears to regain health, sanity, and hunger. If WX-78 dies, they will drop some of the gears that they have eaten. Clockworks are less aggressive towards WX-78. Other Changes Spoiler New HUD effects have been added for when learning recipes. Improved creature AI when a group of creatures are running together. Reeds will now regrow during Spring after having been burnt. Wurt and Merm Changes Spoiler When Wurt wears the Seawreath or Garland, the sanity effects are flipped. Improved how hats look on Wurt Moose/Goose and Bearger no longer knock items out of Wurt’s hands, because of her strong grip. The Clever Disguise now lasts for 15 days. Abandoned Merm followers will now return home after some time. Merms now play a hungry animation when their loyalty is low. Feeding Merms will now also improve the loyalty of a few nearby Merms. Merms no longer tolerate their leader murdering a fish. Merms that are followers will defend other nearby Merms when they are attacked. Merms will stop mining and chopping if their leader gets too far away. Merms no longer get hurt from eating kelp or durians. Frogs are no longer aggressive towards Merms. The Merm King’s eating animation duration is now based on the quality of the food. The Merm King now gives bonus Gold Nuggets when given an ocean fish. The Merm King now gives Cut Reeds instead of Rot when given a fish. Bug Fixes Spoiler Fixed Deerclops’s attack damage when hitting multiple targets.

Primalflower Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I'm so happy to see some of these wurt changes. Really glad that y'all are willing to go back and touch up characters that aren't necessarily in the spot light. Also, Yes, Wx-78 goes by they/them, and as such the proper honorific would be "mx". 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Well I'll be damned, this rework sounds pretty interesting! There arent any notes for what the "special abilities" are, so I'm gonna have to re-install DST. Cheers, Klei! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just-guy Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 While I like the way the electricity meter looks different from other meters, it could be an annoyance for those who use the Backpack Layout set to Separated. Spoiler 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
