You don’t need to be so toxic. People have the right to complain, especially when they’re not heard in a situation where they were led to believe they would be. It’s sad to see this kind of behavior that turns the community against itself, when most of the time it’s a community that helps and supports one another. Including streamers with this kind of toxic behavior, which I’ve noticed isn’t new. Anyway, it’s a shame!

About this whole WX-78 update, I hope Klei has learned to take the time needed to release a beta that’s at least somewhat well thought out in terms of where they want to go, because we’ve clearly seen that when you leave too much room, people can end up disappointed with the possibilities...

And Klei, since things are the way they are, could you at least listen to the feedback about the drones getting in the way during fights on screen? Yesterday, three of us played together, all using WX-78 with drones, and it became IMPOSSIBLE to play. I believe that limiting it to just one drone could solve the issue. Tks

Everyone is hearing you guys loudly complain, no one is deaf to it.

If anyone wants to make a mod to restore the old shadow affinity, drop me a PM, I've saved the scripts.zip (and databundles folder) before this patch released, sensing that Klei is gonna stick to the drones, despite them being... well, hilarious bad.

The code is still available this way (no idea if steam allows version rollbacks nowadays), so a more experienced modder could do wonders with it, instead of the hack job I'd be able to.

Hope this is allowed.

Auto-grabbers are terrible. When held by the player, they identify items to collect based on the inventory—like the W.O.B.O.T., for example. However, instead of being fully automatic, they only activate when you start collecting manually, and that is AWFUL.

If I have one Grass in my inventory and walk past a Grass patch, it doesn't pick it up automatically; it waits for me to grab one manually and only then checks if there are other items nearby to collect. What’s the point of it being automatic only when mounted on a chassis?

To me, the logical way would be: if I have one Grass in my inventory, the auto-grabber should automatically collect 39 more and stop once the stack is full (40 Grasses, for example). If I wanted to collect more than one stack, I’d just put one Grass in multiple slots (e.g., 3 slots with 1 Grass each), and the auto-grabber would fill those 3 slots automatically for a total of 120 Grasses. Wouldn't that make much more sense?

I think they did it to avoid unintentional annoyance? Idk. Having to manually pick up items for the robots to pick them up with you seems awful...

What happened to "listening to feedback"?

The feedback came from Tencent. They said, "stop wasting time on this and work on something more marketable."

Did you see that? The same damage bonus as Wigfrid. ONLY the same damage bonus as Wigfrid? Wow. Trash character. My mod character who has 10x movespeed, 8x damage, permanent night vision, and an immunity to all temperature is way stronger than this. How DARE Klei ONLY give me the SAME DAMAGE BONUS AS WIGFRID, the CHARACTER WHO IS EXPLICITLY DESIGNED TO BE FOR COMBAT. Wow. WX-78 may as well be removed from the game, because this is UNPLAYABLE. How about instead of a 24% damage bonus, it was a 24,000,000% damage bonus? And maybe instead of the Auto-Grabber being a Lazy Forager, it would auto-grab some Steam Gift Cards and Klei pays me $50 an hour for playing this HORRIBLE character? 

I mean... Wigfrid has been way more than a 25% bonus damage character for a long time now.

Repeating the same old things, in a different way. That's a skill tree.

I'm happy to have finished the WX skill tree to pave the way for new things to do in the game. I have absolutely no interest in recreating worlds for every character that receives a skill tree. New bosses, new items, new biomes, new weapons and armor. Bring on content updates not tied to just one character!!!
