FYI this is also an issue with Woby when she has a courier skill (literally just found this out). Thanks for the hotfixes!

dont, why do you lose sanity if you killed it? as far as the survivors are concerned they are relived that the hound is dead...especialy the koalefant...why do they get scared of that now?

Thank you, very nice change! I see 'spaces' are also included, can we also please include hyphens (-)

So this is your solution to Moongleams and electric weapons igniting Brightshades and burning down farms? Do you have any idea how ugly Dragonfly turf is? Most players care deeply about base aesthetics, and having to plant Brightshade-infested crops on Dragonfly turf is completely unacceptable. Below, I'll show before-and-after comparisons of farming areas from my old saves after replacing the turf with Dragonfly turf, so everyone can see the visual impact firsthand.

Very nice change. Finally I can make flingo-free base more conveniently.

And this bug sounds very specific and silly at the same time

Agree with this, we already have the option to turn off wildfires and fire hounds for those of us who spend a lot of time building aesthetically pleasing long term worlds and who have spent to buy skins just for that purpose. Please do add an option that allows us to turn off fire from electrification as well.

In fact, it's not that simple. The so-called "Scaled Flooring will now completely prevent fire spreading from a burning entity" actually just means it prevents ignition within the area covered by Scaled Flooring. So in reality, if something is burning outside the Scaled Flooring, it can still ignite objects inside the area.

This means that if you want to truly keep your crops safe, you might need to place an additional layer of flooring around your plot—just like I’ve shown in my screenshot.

Is the old functions of Scaled Flooring still exist? Or has it been removed and replaced by this one?

[Sofy Happy]

Would it really be that difficult to either change the electrocution effect on plant-based creatures or make Moongleams' shocks less severe? Just in the few days since the update, I already know of more than 5 multiplayer server fires caused by electric shocks. Some servers were even forced to close permanently because they couldn't roll back in time

• Scaled Flooring will now completely prevent fire spreading from a burning entity.

Now basing by the Lava ponds becomes even more viable. Fantastic change.

Why don't you rebuild what burned down?

Can't rebuild grass tufts, klei is stingy about grass still

That entire server's base burned to the ground. Hundreds of days of progress gone in an instant. Most players lost motivation to continue, and as more people left the multiplayer save, those remaining struggled to find the will to go on. They ultimately chose to start a brand new save.

The core issue isn't resource loss - it's the emotional deflation when communal achievements turn to ashes.

I can imagine how much frustration it caused, I deeply empathise with your sadness after losing all of your progress. I used to play on a public dedicated server and we still kept it somewhat challenging, so wildfires stayed on. I can't count how many times we rolled back because of fires, and how demotivating it was. Especially when some people (namely the ones that didn't part take in base building and tidying) argued that wildfires are an essential part of the game and should stay turned on because there are plenty solutions against them. When another build I designed (located partially inside Oasis desert and partially on the docks adjacent to it, under the big tree canopys I spent two seasons nurturing) burnt to the ground entirely, I gave up and stopped playing on that server. It's crazy how quickly destruction of someone's effort and creativity can kill any will and motivation to continue playing. 

I agree the dragonfly floor should not be the intended solution to the electricity igniting plant based creatures on fire. Not only it's ugly, but you also can't turf the docks or boats and that's where people frequently place their lureplant farms. Moonstorms won't happen on the ocean but if it's nearby, moon gleams will follow the player anywhere.

I want a proper toggle to turn this "feature" off in the settings, just like other environmental hazards. While we are here, might as well make a setting for moon gleams to not damage neutral mobs and fences/walls. It's annoying already when moonstorm spawns over your builds and forces you to fix all that stuff. I always build a wall with gaps and walls alternating at the edge of my dfly desert to prevent tumbleweeds rolling away from the desert and I can't count how many times I had to repair it over time because of stupid moon gleams killing it.

If you defeat celestial champion then the moonstorms stop which will prevent moon gleams from spawning thus saving them from burning your brightshades.

Thanks for your quick response with the absolutely useless but technically correct "solution". There are plenty reasons for moonstorms to be active in the world for long periods of time, especially when people are farming a lot of restrained statics and other moonstorm materials for multiple CC kills.

Because if after slogging through already poor controls for over 10 hours to build a beautiful own base, but it will be wiped out on a dev’s "GOT-CHA!", we'd rather play other better games than to continue Sisyphusing.

And another critical problem, while structures can be fixed, that's skins cannot be fixed unless you own them.

Most? nah most people don't care.

Anyway huge changes for scaled flooring. It is actually useful now

[Frosty_Mentos]

Personally, the only reason why I never use scaled flooring is because how ugly it looks.

I really barely care for it's function, so... I really hope it gets a skin or retexture or something because I just don't want it .w.
