[V2C]

Changes

• Removed Skeeter Bomb on explosion screen flash and shake.
• Winona’s Hotlight skill’s heat intensity has been lowered.

• Adjusted the Rose-Colored Glasses selections:
  • Closely Examine action is now filtered out in many cases where it would always be invalid.
  • Fuel discovery is limited to examining specific types of things that have some Charlie/shadow connection. (We hope to expand this to more things that make sense.)
  • The action for Vine bridge discovery should only come up at valid points near the world edges.  (We’re also hoping to add some effects to hint at this as well.)
• Fragile Rose is no longer stackable.

• Fixed Shadow Merms claiming a Royal Tapestry.
• Fixed Crab King breaking Sea Weeds.

Hurray, thanks for the Wurt fixes! This gonna be a fun weekend!

[chirsg]

Will we be getting retrofitting of marotters on existing worlds?

[Anis5240]

I think naming the new glasses as "Rose-Tinted" would be better.

[Castiliano]

We have big things in the ocean, add little ones now and maybe the "ocean is too empty" feeling will finally end. Since we are talking about Ocean QoL, can you add some small portion of land/island, where we could use it to expand with docks and maybe make a base in the middle of the ocean? It can be something extremely small like 1 tile in the middle of nowhere. And what about Packim Baggims?

What I miss most about Shipwrecked are the SMALL islands, like that one with the Slot Machine.

[Gashzer]

Could you guys fix all the bugs related to using followers for fighting crab king. 

No point having all these new and improved merms if wurt cant even properly use them to kill crab king (a boss wurt is now encouraged to fight for trident upgrade to merm king) without the merms drowning during ice phase.

Edit: making followers re-emerge on your boat after drowning instead of on mainland would be a good start.

I fully support the idea. I get the joke already, but I think it would be even more fun if it was on the nose.

I didn't know it was supposed to reference something, could you tell me what it's supposed to be?

seeing the world through rose tinted glasses is a phrase

[Dr.Webber]

I don’t know if this is a bug or not but if it is could it be a feature 

so when you use the mudskippers if your near water or void it creates tiles which I think would be fun to use like making your own island or making void base honestly I’d be find even if you keep it as just using it water

[GreenBowers]

Well the mudskipper marsh is temporary, but its a fun niche to make temporary bridges

[Cassielu]

Sometimes I really confused why designer can't think of those obvious things...

Any chance we can get info on what the goal of skeeter bombs are? The craft feels needlessly expensive for 1 bomb, the mosquitos it summons easily lose focus on their target if they even target what your fighting at all, and throwing the bomb in succession kills the mosquitos you summon prior. Are there any plans to address this?

any chance we can get the option to toggle off heat lamp during summer easy fix with a re spawn, but it would save a step

there's a jillion other bugs and cheese that's been in the game since the end of time. having one in beta is honestly not that remarkable

Klei forums show even a hint of compassion when noticing oversights in the Beta Branch of all things (Difficulty: Impossible)

[zhangsheng]

Why do I exit the game every time and then enter the game. The Enlightened Shard and Pure Brilliance on Winona's G.E.M.erator will disappear.

As if this is the first bug with trawl nets and boat collision in general. You don't even need trawl nets, a few anchors would do, just an oversight? A lack of understanding of the sailing mechanic as a whole I'd say

it doesn't matter whether or not it was an oversight. people on these forums need to be critical AND constructive. you weren't the latter. it's klei's job to improve their game and our's to give productive feedback.

how am I supposed to give "constructive feedback" when the designer fails the most basic task.

Doesn't matter though, constructive or not it gets ignored if it doesn't fit their roadmap.

no not really, the game is provided as is and without warranty.

Wow holy cow are you rude. Imagine getting free updates for nearly a decade on a five dollar game (on sale) and calling the devs incompetent. You really should go outside of touch grass.  Something just rubs me the wrong way about being that entitled and needlessly rude.

I mean... you do realize that keeping dst alive is in Klei's best interest? I mean, sure, the devs are (probably) passionate about this game and it is (hopefully) their labour of love but there's no denying that dst is Klei's cashcow. If they want to stay in bussiness at the level that they are right now, they have to keep updating dst, so that the studio is making money off of skins and what not. The only other Klei game that comes close to being popular is ONI and that game is very niche-like and cannot be easily turned into an RPG boss-fighting sandbox like dst can
