Changes

• Offline skin support on Steam and WeGame platforms has been enabled as an experimental test.

    • Unlocking things in the cookbook and plant registry will synchronize up all pending new things with your account on your next login.
    • Be advised that if you have multiple computers with each having pending things to synchronize, will in some circumstances result in only the last synchronized computer being saved.

The deed is done! Makes the skin feel that much more special now, thank you. (Inventory image hasn't been updated though)

We've decided to skip this feature for Wolfgang skins. You can think of Wolfgang skins on other characters like a Halloween muscle suit.

Have an early rest. I wish you a happy weekend in advance

I am very happy to see you guys move forward with making DLC available offline, especially considering how much this move could potentially improve the experience on the many ports including Switch which currently requires a paid subscription to play online. Thanks for the progress!

Edit: Thinking ahead, there's still gonna be the hurdle of getting DLC to Switch without a Nintendo Online account if an initial login is required. Curious how that can be remedied.

Now that’s something you like to see. Brilliant work!

[. . .]

Very glad to see offline mode becoming more on par with online mode and lot of stuff in not being locked behind being online !

Now all the game will need is being able to switch your worlds between offline and online when created then you can play in your online worlds while offline or make your offline worlds into online worlds then you can play with other people in it !

99% bug

If these items can be used offline, will I lose all my skin in the online world by going offline because of a transient Internet connection problem? Things like using DLC characters and being asked to re-select characters when entering or exiting caves.

[Primalflower]

hope this ones touched in the future.

Fixed art alignment for various objects and skins.

 

Out of curiosity, which objects' art alignment was fixed? I was very hopeful when I saw this note as several objects come to mind that look wonky when centered on a tile and in relation to other objects. The one's that jump to mind are the think tank, bird cage, salt box, and mighty gym.

See below for example: the think tank is placed on center of the tile (with geo-placement mod so I know it's accurate) and the chest is on the same plane as the think tank. Despite this, the two objects' art does not touch the ground in line with each other. All I did was rotate camera between the screenshots.

Are these the types of changes you were looking for with this bug fix or am I way off here? And if this was a previously unnoticed bug, would it be too tedious to fix?

Do you want to move closer to this mod? However, the delay can not be achieved. This mod has no delay at all
