"Teletransport Station now costs energy when receiving teleports."

I was enjoying these stations but the cost is so high I can't see myself picking this skill over getting free revives at my choice of nightlight and unlimited wormhole teleports. Having to pay 1 nightmare fuel per 2 teleports(with all three battery perks) doesn't make this viable for me early game in the same way being able to select what ever wormhole I'd like to travel to. I believed these skills to be balanced before having the station cost battery due to the amount of time and resources it takes to get the station and tele umbrella vs how easy it is to get the rose goggles and how strong it is to tele any where you've discovered via wormholes/dying with a rose. 

If the concern is that the station is stronger than the rose glasses maybe a cooldown can be applied instead of requiring battery from the station?

woah, on my end, 2 teleports with a full generator with no nightmare fuel in it, drained it fully. 

can't say im too broken up by it, since using a tool like teleportation is meant to have a cost, 2 nightmare fuel seems to equate to 4 teleports before needing to refuel. I shudder to think what that's like with out the fuel efficiency lol, but I take the full 100% perk anyway and regularly acquire fuel. Its an adjustment but not a terrible one, seems within reason for the cost of infinite range teleportation.

Merm with Shoddy Tools or Slightly Less Shoddy Tools will help clear Garden Detritus and dig Farm Soil.

Now make them collect grass and twigs from the samplings

Lunar hail?

We had an idea, but when it was implemented, we didn't like it. This will come when we have the idea we like.

I think farming is fine enough to set them apart honestly.

Ah ****, not my colony simulator brain telling me I should main Wurt now

[ZeRoboButler]

lol if only I could play ONI half as well as play dst, my colonies descend into chaos on the regular, but on topic, wurt feels really really fun right now.

[Radicaljoe]

Farmmerms are so cool, no more spending 3 mins tilling the soil!
I hope there's more that can be done with doohickeys in the future. Winbots are cool, but I already have 4 and still so many doohickeys.
(also still praying for the morning star generator recharge)

This reminds me, a long while before the Lunar Dust was mentioned, around when Lunar Hail was first added, it damaged mobs. This was removed and said would be returned alongside new mob 'sheltering behavior'. Is this still being worked on/considered at all? 

Having more in-world mob reactions to the change in environment would be awesome.

Changes to Crab King.

When klei fixes that bug I also hope they make it so that the ice platfrom doesnt produce ice floats because it clogges up the area with random garbage.

It needs to insta-destroy anything you’ve placed in its area.. 

[HeatAndRun]

Impossible, it's even bigger than the last hotfix!!!

[july401]

Great job Klei, great!

[Soul7k]

any chance rose tinted glasses could work to teleport between stairs or tentacle holes when underground since there are no wormholes there?

[Intrepidpioneer]

Haha, seems like Klei might have seen my post. Even if not I'm glad most of the things I was thinking about found its way inside. I hope the skeeter bombs can hopefully increase in size.

I think it's okay to just destroy the obstacles mercilessly when creating an ice arena.

[CyberSkink]

Has anyone else tried out the merm farming when you use the diggamajig? The merma seem to ignore certain areas of the farm plot…

[GreenBowers]

I am very pleased with the patch, and i'm excited to see if they push out some fixes to the crab king fight. I really really don't want it to be a Hold F fight where you can just ignore every mechanic, I hope they have some solutions in the works.

I feel as though he also needs to destroy obstacles at the start of the fight, when he destroys all those sea stacks. 

I just really dislike this cheese. I can at least respect the people that came up with it cause its thinking outside the box, but i just really dont like how hard it turns off the entire fight.

For Wurts this is huge, unless you're playing with friends as Wurt you don't really need veggie variety from crops only Dragon Fruit/Potato/Tomato Etc. nothing too crazy to farm,

 

This might just make me a Wurt main. Like no joke. I play on controller and have no luxury of neat placement mods so this alone is swaying me to make Wurt my main, I waste SO much time trying to make the tidiest farms

All Catapult attacks no longer damage walls.

 

Do you guys think that Winona will start to use more walls or she will stick to statues in her farms?

Mix of both, honestly. There’s still a good chunk of mobs that will just attack walls, and sculptures/walls effectively were used in tandum to direct the mobs to a chamber to kill (with a noticable sculpture outcrop to prevent damage to the walls). This helps streamline the latter and not too much changes for the former.
