JanH Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Do I have to have RoG buyed in order to get this?Or is All's Well That Maxwell enough? They've been added as an update to the core game, so you should be able to get Snow and Shadow Chester even if you don't own Reign of Giants.

I never contributed to the Kickstarter and I sorely feel sorry about it--I didn't pay much attention--looks like we are getting everything from it; however, so no biggie.

ossiemaine Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I was just expecting a shadow chester at first, but a snow chester that acts like an ice box would be pretty useful for storing food. I remember a while back when I made a suggestion for Chester to transform into an alternate form by adding nightmare fuel in his inventory or changing on a full moon a year back. Good to see something similar was officially added to the game Here's the dreadfully long idea I had put in a now long dead thread if you have the patience to read it Posted 15 March 2013 - 01:10 PM I came up with an idea for our good friend Chester. On nights when the moon is full, he transforms into a monstrous version of himself: Cheshire. When turned into Cheshire, he will have much more ragged fur, sharp teeth, and bigger, more evil-looking horns. He will follow the player and try to murder them by biting with razor-sharp teeth, hitting them with a demonic, forked tongue like a whip, lunging at them like a warrior spider, and ramming them with spear-like horns.The player will also notice that the eye bone in their inventory will also transform into a more twisted version of itself with sharpened red/black iris and as long as the player holds the eye bone, Cheshire will follow them and try to murder them wherever they go until the night is over.Alternatively, if you put too much monster meat in Chester, he may have a chance to transform into Cheshire permanently, similar to if you feed a pig too much monster meat. If you decide to put your faithful companion down or wait until the full moon is gone, you will discover that all the items you had placed inside him during his time as Cheshire have been converted into nightmare fuel and all food items converted into rot. If used correctly, Cheshire can but used as a nightmare fuel farm by placing items you don't want into him and either wait until the full moon to come and go or feed him too much monster meat then kill him.If you have the eye bone placed inside Chester when he turns into Cheshire, he will be unable to see you but he CAN hear you and will follow the sound of footsteps either from you or nearby creatures and attack them when in range. If you drop the Eye bone on the ground however, he will be able to see you and come after you until you are out of range of the eye bone. Once out of range, he will give up chasing you can return to the spot where the Eye bone is.I finished drawing up a picture of the idea and am currently working on it in photoshop in my spare time, let me know if this a good idea or not. Something similar u say? Don't know if a shadow chester with just 3 extra slots is similar to a monstrous chester with big teeth who wants to kill you.

Warden Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Something similar u say? Don't know if a shadow chester with just 3 extra slots is similar to a monstrous chester with big teeth who wants to kill you. Well its similar in terms of transforming Chester into a different form because of a full moon. Maybe I wasn't even the first to come up with the idea for Chester to transform on a full moon, I've only been here on the forums for about a year or so. I'm just glad in general to see Chester in an alternate form with certain perks to spice things up Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/33650-game-update-snow-and-shadow-chester/page/2/#findComment-439274 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximum124 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 In winter does Chester turn into snow chester? No, Chester will stay normal until you fill each slot with a blue gem, then you'll have a snow Chester when the full moon hits.

Paradigm Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 No, Chester will stay normal until you fill each slot with a blue gem, then you'll have a snow Chester when the full moon hits.Actually, my Chester transformed into Snow Chester without any blue gems. On my current save I've never so much as *seen* a blue gem, and yet one night all of a sudden Chester was bathed in holy light from above and transformed into Snow Chester. Was a godsend, as I haven't been able to find any gears yet and was desperately in need of an ice box. I didn't even know the new Chesters had been implemented, so was a wonderful surprise, But yeah, Snow Chester doesn't require blue gems as it stands at the moment. My Chester was just carrying equipment when he transformed. Either the requirement was changed to just full moon during winter at the last second, or it's a bug.
