How do you think they'll access the new content this time?

A: Fight the Shadow Pieces for the Shadow Atrium
B: Spawn the Shadow Atrium via console commands

Vote now on phones!

And everyone voted until the whole DST community exploded.

But Klei didn't care, they were off in the wilderness crafting potato cups and surviving off of delicious, quality red mushrooms.

A new update will come out after the stream with the puzzle, calling it.

If not right after the stream, maybe within the next 24 hours... but who knows, you might be right!

There is already one in the game. :D Something even bigger and better! Something truly grand! I'm hoping for a glimpse of Charlie. She has to be up to something.

So... that's not an old lady? I swear it's an old lady.

Jokes aside, if there will be puzzle then it will probably consist of more than one stage, so it will take some time to finish, just like with Cyclum. So worry not robot, there will be enough time to manurepost and memes.

Main things I'd like to highlight from the stream:

New skeleton boss that spawns by giving shadow heart to the proper form of odd skeleton has 3 versions(currently only the cave one, overworld one was showed on dev build): overworld one(can only spawn at night in the overworld; dies at daytime(the animation is neat); ain't fighting back; spawning lighbulbs, fern and lightberries behind him for a few secs, you can gather those;has huge insanity aura; he is just walking around(though it mentioned that something holds him in bounds, I didn't listen well enough to tell what does it though)), cave one (spawn him anywhere in caves, aggressive, has huge insanity aura, is pretty easy). the ultimate form (promised to have good brains and not be cheesable; if I got the idea right - its the one that you should spawn in the hearth of the ruins area after activating it with a key dropped from ancient guardian(currently area is locked from exiting by locking sanity checkers in closed state, probably until you fight the big guy); there was some bit of charlie-related story mentioned too, but I didn't listen).

You find heart of the ruins by going down the tentacle holes(one of them is the correct one). There will be plenty of sanity checkers you gotta go through(telepoof or get the purple amulet 4tw).

Just as any shadow creatures this skeleton boss can't be burned or frozen.

If you engage antlion fight and keep on dodging his attacks(dont kill him fast enough) he will eventually start eating rocks from his inventory, healing himself (regards to @Tumalu for clearing it out)

Those sandcastles and sandpillars, spawned by antlion(when he attacks players) can be burned to have glass pillars and castles that you can carry around. I believe it serves no real point. Antlion will respawn by the next summer (probably default 20 days respawn time timer or sthing along those lines).

On death antlion drops this teleporting the recipe for this made of orange gem teleporter(if I got it right)

Klaus will now yeild loot when destroys trees, just as any of those dark skeleton guys.

Btw, a stream guy said that its important that we read the inspectation quotes on statues from the heart of the ruins. Apart from story-wise I might assume that it is being related to the puzzle we are hoping for.
