There’s a bottle farm by filling up Pearl’s inventory by seasonal fishes and freeze her to force bottle to drop. Which can produce over 50 bottles per day

Wait, WHAT?

Bro, I am sure that even if 20 year passes and I play this game every single day I’ll still have something to learn

Of interest, the Proof of Purchase skins for the upcoming Wickerbottom & WX-78 Youtooz figures got added this patch, as well as a Loyal skin that looks to be Playstation/PSN related.

 

It looks like the PS5 controller in the last gif, new version confirmed!?

 

* It's so good to dream ;-;

Changes

• Buzzards will now fly away when taking fire damage.

I am so glad the developers took time out of their busy schedule to remove a niche utility of Flamecast.

Willow turning Embers into drumsticks was absolutely dominating the meta.

please add more to the wandering tradesman's shop

I just hope that the work on the drowning rework will continue in this second part of Hostile Takeover;

Sure... will there be more than just this? I mean, will there be anything else coming in THIS beta besides just changes to the electricity mechanics, or is this not even an update with a title, etc, just a small patch, and another one will come later? What about the post-victory world events that were supposed to happen in the following weeks... of the first beta... or the set pieces... Because I'll be honest, if even the few parts that should have been part of that ONE update turn into several bitsized updates, I'm going to give up.

Changed Pearl's dialogue when moving off the island.

Amazing mechanic!

Dear Klei, can you please also buff freezing items, such as chill amulet? I love the idea to wear it during Dragonfly fight so it would freeze attacking larvas. Currently it's effect is so weak that it's useless, but it could be such a nice tool, I love wearing amulets more than armor)

At the moment, while morning star does seem to work with the new shock states, some character specific items like the volt goat dish, elding spear, electric circuits and shockscrap shots seem to not cause it, unless I'm missing something. Possibly a bug?

If Volt Goat Chaud-Froid doesn't work when the update comes out i'm going to be very sad

I do think that the question that xhyom posses is worth asking though, and shouldn't be just dismissed like Edible Coal did. If this beta is just one pice of the Hostile Takeover part 2, then I would imagine that when the update goes live it will be acompanied with the usual new main menu card, animatic and promo material; and not just shodow droped as a patchnote. That's a lot of work. And the update looks very nice, the entire shock state sounds interesting, and so many new animations for creatures; this is quality content Klei! And I think it needs to be a proper large update.

But... In the pseudo-roadmap, Klei mentioned that they wish to make 2 more updates before ending the From Beyond story arc, and they planned to finish it by the end of September. This beggs the question: When this goes live, would this be the 2nd update? Are we going to get a conclusion of the shodows in FB; or will it be part of the next story arc? I doubt there is time for Hostile Takeover Part 2 beta + live, and Showds Finale beta + live, all before the end of September in 2.5 months. So I imagine that FB is going to be pushed further down the line, ending after September; or this is going to be the 2nd final update as planned, but the shadows will have their conclusion in the next arc. 

So I think it is worth asking: What are your plans, with this update and FB over all Klei? ^_^

Loved every single thing in this update

no, the dev clearly stated that the two updates are ment for the lunar and shadow quest arc to come to a close, this is still the update for lunar side and the promised stuff they mention...

I think this one is already in the game. When I did the quest, I got this dialogue. I hadn't given her the broken pearl, though. And I didn't play the beta, so I had no idea what it was before.

The wording is a bit vague, so I'll continue with my question: is this THE update? Will we receive the REMAINS of that first update in batches, or will it be combined into another update, with a title, etc.? My concern remains: theoretically, we would receive two more updates this year, and the way things are currently going, at least one of those updates will be just what's left of the first update, which was released incompletely. So, yes, I think it's valid to ask if this is all there will be.
But great, gotcha.

I love how Klei guilt trips the players to justify kicking Pearl off the island with emotional warfare.

Bravo, Klei. 

Don't activate WARBOT.

The update that forever ruined DST for me, for sure.

no drying racks?

Remembering that this was planned in the past beta. But if Devs lose focus on these goals by adding other changes that the community asks (rework on the walls / Warbis armor, etc.), will certainly not have time for the last item on the list.

[astroapyr]

Shocking update.
