First it's really interesting.  Love the new plant, tho it's very evil!  We reloaded the server at maybe 20:00-ish with the update.

Regarding the bombs, right-click to throw conflicts with mounting and unmounting your beefalo (also right-click) so you accidentally bomb your beefalo and are unable to mount or unmount with bombs equipped in your weapon slot.  Bombs also always appear to be thrown from the ground.  This is most noticeable from atop a beefalo.

We managed to have a server slowdown then 15 minutes later a crash, but there were hundreds of items on the screen and I don't know what mods the other players were using.  We were definitely pushing edge cases.  I think Dave was exploding 100 bombs during the slowdown.  We'd been playing over an hour.  Here's the crash screen:

 

P.S. I spawned some celestial plant-tender Gestalts.  First 1, then 10.  We had a farm with a few seedlings at various stages nearby.  First one sped off (followed only on a Rider beefalo with Glossamer saddle) and it went out to sea, more or less toward the crab king?  It was baffling.  The other 10 dispersed and we didn't follow them.

PPS, the bombs are super fun - the way they chop, dig, mine, and do 200 damage.  We noticed definite PvP and suicide potential.

The creeping quality of the new turf was extra spooky!

The creeping quality of the new turf was extra spooky!  Plant sounds were excellent!  New weapons and armor look very cool.  Not sure how the shovel, armor, and helm are different from gold shovel, log armor, and pigskin helmet.  I like the pick/axe that mines in 5 strokes instead of 6 and wears out slower.
