Hey guys!  The new Walter skill tree is finally ready for Beta.  There's still some work to be done to finish off one last skill, and to polish the icons and skill descriptions and strings, but it's in a good spot for testing now.  Since there's a lot of new things and some new control mechanics, I won't go into too much detail on each item below, and rather just let you guys try it out in game!

 

Changes

  • Players can now feed their mount while riding them.
  • Walter’s basekit
    • Woby’s bags can now be opened while mounted.
    • Riding directly on Woby’s thick fur now provides some thermal insulation.
    • Woby can now be commanded to “Stay” in one spot.
    • Big Woby can now manually transform back to Small Woby.
    • Added a hunger meter for Woby.
    • Walter himself will now gain 50% extra sanity from storytelling if he has an audience.  This scales up to a maximum of 75% extra sanity with a bigger audience.
  • Walter’s skill tree
    • Increased the duration of Mark of Brilliance to 30 seconds.
    • Removed the Woby Badge system.
    • Condensed most of the Slingshot Customizer and Ammo skills.
    • Added new Scouting skills for surviving in the wilderness alongside his companion Woby.  Here are some highlights:
      • Crafting skills for a Portable Campfire, improved first aid, and more…
      • A drying rack attachment for Woby’s backpack, along with a new recipe for turning Monster Jerky into long lasting Woby Snacks.
      • “Woby Here, Woby There” is a courier skill, which did not make it into this build yet.
    • Added new Woby skills to improve her utility and mobility.  Here are some highlights:
      • Skills to increase Woby’s speed and endurance, as well as to aid Walter in his various everyday actions.
      • Sprinting after running for a few seconds.  Sprinting has a fixed speed that is not affected by Woby’s hunger level.
      • Dashing by double-clicking or double-tapping in a direction.
      • Lunar and Shadow variants that modify Woby’s sprinting or dashing abilities.
  • Improved accuracy of the Player’s networked position between client and server.
  • Added Thulecite Bug Net.

 

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed missing horns in all Woby up-facing animations.
  • Fixed missing up-facing idle animation for Big Woby.
  • Ornery Chest won’t duplicate when it hides now.
  • Pipspooks will leave if they are not on a quest and their home grave is removed.
  • Fixed the elixir shields stopping temperature damage.
  • Fixed a physics bug with teleporting to points that collide with the world edge.
  • Added missing sound effects for Spelunker’s Bridge.

This is really important if this could fix the latency problem in public server... Thanks for your hard work!

And We're back. Changes look really cool, though I'm curious to see what people who play walter more think.

I do wonder how much longer the Beta will go on from this point, as this is probably the last of the major changes.

Holy cow I opened it and uh Walter mains I think we win at life now. Except for hunting stuff, swimming, and a navigadget port this is basically all of what we've been asking for. I can't even bring myself to be too unhappy about that when we have so much of everything else to play around with.

【宝箱怪机制详解！大量产量的完全恐惧工厂！-哔哩哔哩】https://b23.tv/4X0X8Ip

Although I find most of the updates in this patch to be quite good, I regret one particular bug fix. I had previously reported the Ornery Chest duplication issue twice and noticed that the developers made some adjustments. However, I’m disappointed that this feature was treated as a bug and fixed in such a simple manner, rather than being turned into an interesting mechanic to enhance the game's depth and complexity.

What truly leaves me speechless is that when I first reported this issue, the developers likely saw my comment and made some corresponding adjustments, but they didn’t fully fix it. However, I noticed their effort, so I submitted a second report.  

Let me explain why I find this so frustrating.  

First, this feature has existed since the last update of the Ornery Chest, and some Chinese players have even built unique factories around it. The video I mentioned was just one example. Since it allowed infinite duplication of chests, it was indeed a serious bug. However, I believed that if the duplication aspect was removed while keeping the core mechanic, it could become an interesting feature. That’s why I reported it and saw that the developers made an effort to adjust it.  

What frustrates me the most is how a single simple post was enough to completely destroy a mechanic that had potential.

Thoughts: Tree rework looks amazing but I fear this is going to poison Wendy discourse even further.

same for Wortox I guess...
