No changes compared to yesterday's beta build.

 

Manually enabling Year of the Clockwork Knight event from world settings will let you have unlimited Knights.

Is it only for knights and not the others? I mainly used bishops for my armies

Why hasn't the update been released on consoles? Will it be released on Monday like they say? Four days is a long time 🥲

See the first post:

We'll need a few more days for console since we need a new build for console that holds off the shadow affinity portion of the tree. We expect this to be released for console on Monday. We apologize for the inconvenience here, but we think it's worth it for us to make sure Shadow Affinity meets our expectations.

Is there a way to deactivate illumination circuit effect during daytime? It's quite annoying to look at.

The current defect of the possessed chassis

1. Won't move away when burned by flames.

2. Won't counterattack when attacked.

3. Won't pick up when weapons drop.

4. Randomly release sound waves and block.

5. No obvious distinguishable features between individuals.

6. Can't use items inside the expansion unit.

7. When rotating and attacking, only high-attack weapons will be selected instead of rotatable high-attack weapons.

8 Rotating attacks cannot force attacks on friendly units.

9. It is impossible to conveniently view their inventories or determine their status.

10. Repair kits cannot be used.

11. Their behavior completely imitates that of players and they have no autonomy at all.

12. Even though they have sleep modes (offline and up and down caves), players are prohibited from actively putting them into sleep mode

I want to applause klei devs.

They kept in secret Elsewhere development for 2 (or more?) years to make us happy, and they care about community reaction so they approached this release pretty carefully. They reveiled awesome part of lore, and current WX... His gameplay is so connected to his personality! I mean, come on! I spend whole autumn and winter rushing for different bio-data, MANY bio-data and circuits research, for gears, for gems, for scrap, etc. If feels like WX-78 has his own way to deal with the Constant, he is not bothered e.g. by base creation, or walls setup, or manual sailing to seek for Crabs family / lunar island. He is like "I'll automate it, I'll deliver it here, I'll place my chassis there for access to this, I'll force these pigs to work for me with my motivation song" etc.

I love how it plays. It has balance between effort and power. If WX-78 lucks something, it's probably team-play because he needs so much for himself (e.g. red gems, gears, armor, pan flute, etc.) and doesn't actually provides to the team resource wise. In other words, he is a little parasitic team player, he can benefit from others (e.g. Winona / Wickerbottom) but doesn't really brings to the table much with such playstyle. But I think this is within his character. So I welcome robot in my solo-worlds now. 

And yes I know people can play it differently like sharing maps/bringing resources from far away etc, but I'll leave it for Walter)

As much as I appreciate the updates recently there definitely seems to be slight favoritism towards playstation over xbox as xbox doesn't even have a series s/x version or enhancements and updates consistently take longer on Xbox than Playstation as of recently yotk and rn for example.

And playstation is on the new build as of about 7:30 PM est yesterday 

Keep up the great work klei just please work on something for us xbox series s/x players and if you can try your best to get the update out today i would rather have the weekend to play instead of having it come out on Monday and not really having time for it.

被附身底盘的当前缺陷

1. 被火焰烧伤时不会移开。

2. 被攻击时不会反击。

3. 武器掉落时不拾取。

4. 随机释放声波并阻挡。

5. 个体之间没有明显可区分的特征。

6. 无法使用扩展单元内的物品。

7. 旋转攻击时，只选高攻击武器，而非可旋转高攻击武器。

8 轮换攻击不能强制对友军单位发动攻击。

9. 无法方便地查看其库存或确定其状态。

10. 维修包不能使用。

11. 他们的行为完全模仿玩家，完全没有自主权。

12. 尽管它们有睡眠模式（离线和上下洞穴），玩家被禁止主动将其置于睡眠模式

I strongly agree with the 10th point. I think it would be a good idea to allow it to automatically use materials such as repair kits/Nightmare Fuel to repair equipment, or to have a backup function that can autonomously discard equipment with zero durability.
 

In addition, I have made a list of the equipment that can be repaired/replenished:

W.A.R.B.I.S. equipment;

Tools, equipment, and weapons from the Brightshade series;

Tools, equipment, and weapons from the Void series;

Howlitzer；

Bone Armor

There're also terraria integration items

Im just curious as to why use the old WX rework theme for the menu when you clearly composed something new for the Beta, and then presumably scrapped it? Why compose something brand new and then just... not have it be used???

I hope they update it to the new one when the shadow affinity releases to full
