[Crash] Game crashing after the new update while using the pitchfork.

Changed Status to Fixed

Thanks for reporting this! It was fixed in a hotfix that just went out.

Figured no sense in making a new thread.

Playing on PC Steam version, still getting this bug after hotfix. No mods installed. First verified game integrity then just now completely reinstalled game to make sure I got the newest update. 

Using the pitchfork at all in a ROG world, (not linked to a shipwrecked world but compatibility set to yes.) makes the game crash to this screen I've included. 

 

Edit: Just adding that I created a fresh world post-hotfix and got an identical crash and the exact same error message using the pitchfork on many different types of turf...

Addition to bug complaint

Can confirm, getting the same error still not fixed.

Yep, didn't get any hotfix, maybe there's a special way to retrieve it ? I'm still at rev193-193, and so are the others (looking at their pictures).

Didn't see any reply yet.

Going through the error message, it seems to me that two errors occur at \DLC0002\scripts\components\terraformer.lua.

If you guys really wanna play this game before the Rev.194 hotfix is TRUELY released, i have 2 possible solutions for you guys

******************************

Op1. Run a ROG ONLY game, not compatible with SW, The ROG-only world does not recall terraformer.lua in the DLC002 folder, so your game should not produce a crash.

******************************

Op2. use my DIY modified lua file (personal use only)

I added a 'if statement' for the flooding related line so it only works in SW world, which means it stop to try indexing field 'flooding' in other worlds (volcano, ROG...)

simple change 

                if GetWorld().components.flooding.mode == "tides" then
                    setTileBlocking(false, pt)
                end

into

            if basetile == GROUND.BEACH then
                if GetWorld().components.flooding.mode == "tides" then
                    setTileBlocking(false, pt)
                end
            end

another conditional statement line has been added for the latter lines also.

Download this file, and replace the bugged one in your Don't starve folder. Mine is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dont_starve\data\DLC0002\scripts\components

I did a basic test in one SW world and one ROG-SW world, both worlds worked.

******************************

At last, please stick to OFFICIAL hotfix after it is released.

terraformer.lua

This is also happening to me after the last update and I'm still on 193-193. I disabled mods and was able to dig it but no turf popped up. Either way this is the second issue that crashed my game since the update. I'm guessing you guys are making a lot of changes under the hood which is great to see but it's causing more problems than it solved.

Still no hot fix :/

Receiving same error messages, Mods completely turned off. I tested the pitchfork in RoG and vanilla Don't starve. However the pitchfork works in Shipwrecked for me.

Argh, looks like something wasn't set correctly. The hotfix has gone out correctly now, please try again!

It works correctly since yesterday ! Thanks guys, nice work.
