My wilderness server did not generate a florid postern after the update. I know the location of where it should appear but It’s not there, will there be a fix for this soon? 

Another issue I’m having is my Cupid statues were damaged by the vines. I’m not a big fan of this, I’ve been holding out on building around this set piece for a few years, it’s really disappointing that it has been ruined. I’m hoping the damage can be reversed in future updates

I talked to some of the other team members and they don't think that the Florid Postern is being retrofitted into old Wilderness worlds. Where did you hear/read about this?

[De_Gatherer]

• The Florid Postern will now always be in the world, regardless of what world settings you have selected.

Based on the post I just assumed that the postern would be retrofitted, it didn’t really specify if it would apply to old saves.

Sorry, the working on that and the preset retrofitting is a bit vague. The florid postern isn't being retrofitted into old wilderness worlds.

No problem, thank you for clarifying. Should we expect the postern to be retrofitted into old saves in future updates? Seeing as how every new server being created from now on will always have a postern, it makes me believe the structure will play some sort of role in gameplay going forward.

There are no plans for retrofitting at present.

I'm unhappy with a decision the team decided to make and I'm going to open up a suggestions thread to hope to address this, but I'll start here and hopefully I get some developer attention.
But I make it a point to never ever mine anything in my world that cannot be renewed. I happen to enjoy the natural marble formations and maxwell statue. 8502 days in my world and I have not mined one single maxwell statue and have been trying to get the RNG gods to bless me with a king's sketch which I have not obtained yet.
But the naturally occurring statues are more precious to me than the ones I can get hundreds of with one sketch. I'll wait even to day 20000 and you would not have me lay a pickaxe on a natural statue.
But Nah, this sucks. I password lock my world and manage mobs that destroy structures meticulously.
I want to restore these. I don't like having to resort to console commands because it is cheating.
This change where the marble statues have destroyed themselves on their own wrecked my enthusiasm I had for this game.
I want an option to repair them using marble.
That should be extended to glommer's statue too which stays standing in my world by the "mercy" of the klei devs. Tomorrow, you all might decide it's funny to automatically erode the glommer's statue and we can't do anything about that.
Nah, I don't like this change one bit and I take HUGE care to keep natural setpieces intact. 
I feel cheated
