I do hope it can be buffed so it increases the map reveal radius. Like the pirate hat in Shipwrecked.

Is Willow's Shadow Flame still not repaired? The tracking of Shadow Flame will be influenced by all creatures, even Bernie. Shadow flames can even attack Bernie.

Here's some additional info to clear up any confusion you may have while trying out our beta over the weekend.

The Scrappy Werepig and Nightmare Werepig are the same creature, however, currently in the beta, they spawn independently so that he shows up more often and is easier to test.  This will eventually change, meaning that later, you won't be able to have both spawned at the same time.  We'll have more information about that at a later time.

We are working on making the Scaled Chest upgradable, but it was important for us to make sure our artists had the bandwidth to handle all the skins for it before promising anything immediately.

We are also looking into adding a stationary action state for the player when opening containers in your inventory.  We believe this is a fair tradeoff for not having them drop when opened.

like a special little animation for players opening containers in their inventory? That sounds nice!

Just to clarify, this will be similar to how Maxwell uses his Magician's Top Hat, and moving will break him out of that state and automatically close the container.

Quick question

-Is it intended that there can only be one sawhorse blueprint per world?? 
 would it be possible to unlock the blueprint trading it after her relic chair quest is complete? (like her other blueprints)

I'm biting the bullet, I know the repetition of me asking might be annoying, but I do feel it's a worthwhile question.

Since Willow and Wig are getting changes, is there any possibility of the team looking into an optional method to allow for Controlled burning to have spreading fires be a toggle?
I'm still running into instances where I'd wish for a way to allow my fires to spread!

Can you explain how the mechanic works now?

In addition to the normal rolling for each meteor, when the meteor shower starts it rolls once using the modifier odds the player can increase such as completing Pearl's tasks and assembling the Altars. If this roll succeeds it will create the orb shell for the shower and skips the other random factors entirely.

I hope eventually we can choose which werepig to kill and avoid having to do fights in a certain order. If not, maybe revise their drops. Specially Nightmare Werepig, which you can kill once for the BPs and get the other drops from other sources. Otherwise it could be annoying to fight them all if you want to farm just one of them.

I don't know why but i imagined the Moon rolling some dice, hoping for the lucky orb.

Would I be correct in that it works like this (using brj example):

1) A meteor shower spawns a large boulder (amount of which depends on the shower intensity)

2) With 15% chance, one of the large boulders is a moon rock boulder (that is if a large boulder spawns at all)

3) The Celestial Orb chances roll the dice and decide that the moon rock boulder contains the seed (only this criteria has been buffed in favor of the player)

So in number 2, now on top of the 15% chance there is an additional roll with higher odds per large boulder. If this roll succeeds it bypasses number 3 and guarantees the orb? But only on this higher chance roll.

If we're going to argue that way, then we shouldn't eliminate rots either. Let's make the eggs by farming meat.

[ALCRD]

The new scrap Werepig and the Scrap biome will work for existing worlds or do i need start new one?

[goblinball]

Thank you for the celestial orb increased odds! Maxwell’s shadows not being able to destroy decorative plants is nice, too.

[DamnUniverse]

@JesseB_Klei We have any chance to see in the future the mechanic of sinkholes during the Scrappy Werepig combat ?

I'll allow it only if it takes a couple rain falls for them to vanish cuz it rains right after winter (right when the eggs rot)

Rotten eggs are not nearly as impactful as rot is. Rot accumulates everywhere through most seasons because how often birds spam seeds , how often mobs infighting drops spoilables (which not always get eaten) etc

While handful of rotten eggs appear in few spots where Penguls camp after end of each Winter that's it.

Is there at least some cool explanation for this, like the junk pile attracting and tanking the teleporting lightning? Or is this another case of "it doesn't work... because!"
