AnonymousKoala 3,635 Posted September 13, 2017 From someone who kept talking about SW's problems, so far I'm really pleased with what I've seen. Most of the big problems seem to be addressed by the new content. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnonymousKoala 3,635 Posted September 13, 2017 Also first bug's been spotted, Crocdogs don't have a world gen icon but are a setting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though, now that Klei picked it up again, I hope they'll be addressed too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
micheldu39 0 Posted September 13, 2017 Quote We have added the following to the game as a free update. Does that mean shipwrecked is no longer a dlc or is it about the update ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crafixit 0 Posted September 13, 2017 You had flights in the upgrade? I flew out because of the breaking of the "Claw" of the walls on the water. And the beta itself is clothed! It is evident that KLEI as always tried! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minespatch 61,847 Posted September 13, 2017 I'm currently have trouble with the instructions for the beta portion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnonymousKoala 3,635 Posted September 13, 2017 First Impressions after discovering and playing with all of the new things: -New Bird is pretty cool. It's nothing special but it's good. -Tar is a really good addition to the game and I already love it as well as basically everything made from it. (Although, what does th Tar Suit do differently than the blubber one?) -Fish Farms and the transplantable mussels and corals are great, can't wait to use these and the ballphin things and the walls in some bases. I'm going to criticize only the new content, but here's a few suggestions/things I've noted. -Tar pits seem to never go away. I like that, I'm glad it's like that, but I think there should be some way to dispose of them. Maybe trawl netting over them? Or just using a net on them? -The new Jellyfish don't even shock you which is odd. Also their art is a bit weird with how bright it is, the white outlines are especially weird in inventory. -I feel that Sharks shouldn't have been removed, at least have them still spawn when you drop meat to the water ,as it fits them more than the crocodogs. For hound wave purposes though the Crocs are way better. -Reskin the Sharkfin if you're going to keep Sharkittens as the only way to obtain it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe soon they change the way Tar pits works because there is an item called "Quacken Drill" that let's you dig tar pits on sea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In your Steam Library, right-click on Don't Starve, go to Properties, then to the Betas tab, paste the beta pass "shipwreckedbeta" in the input field, click the "check code" button and then select "beta - new update for Shipwrecked" from the dropdown menu. The beta should start downloading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alainmcd 889 Posted September 13, 2017 Yep, the instructions you're pointing at are for "open" betas that don't require a password. @JanH or whoever is in charge of this, can you take a look at it? Linky link. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

axxel 1,037 Posted September 14, 2017 So we can posts bugs of the beta in the subforum as usual, right? I saw some parrots were landing in the deep ocean after accessing the beta branch. I hope the team will fix some of the most annoying bugs, I got that glitch which DarkXero mentioned, too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maslak 4,235 Posted September 14, 2017 There must be some ballphin called RC, right? (Ballphins have names now, just like pigs) @AquaRC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iTeecho 0 Posted September 14, 2017 Are we supposed to extract tar using the tar extractor without a tar slick near it? Because it seems that it extracts tar from anywhere you place it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maslak 4,235 Posted September 14, 2017 It's just more effective when placed on tar slick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
