It's the eldritch pope.

A little rain must "faill"? Edit: Wow, this is one big update. Awesome stuff. Can't wait to see what all those weird structures and monsters mean. And I bet MycoLogical will be happy about the shrooms. Edit 2: OBSERVATIONS In order of when I noticed it during the video. - Rainometer, presumably foretells weather effects. - Lightning. May pose some threat during storms. - Honey poultice. Possibly used for healing of some kind, as IRL they are used to treat burns, stings, etc. - Wooden Thing was surrounded by a new kind of structure. Probably an Adventure Mode thing. Featured broken Greek-style stone pillars. - New enemy. Looked like a springy mechanical monster protecting the Wooden Thing. Likely a minion of Maxwell. - Umbrella. - Swampy fish creatures that seem to act like the pigs do. Possibly a new ally. Seemed to live in wonky broken huts. - Lightning can set trees alight. - A floating wooden triangle with a gem inside it and (possibly gold) braces on it. Seemed to have dark stuff floating around it, so it probably requires nightmare fuel. Can be built. Purpose not shown. - Pig King on some wooden flooring. Surrounded by black (obsidian?) obelisks, which could retract into the ground. Wilson was insane during this part of the video, the obelisks may have something to do with sanity. - Red Mushroom - You can dry meats to make jerky. Monster jerky did not seem to damage health, but still was not great for sanity. - Pathfinding appears to work better. - Some sort of new bee-related structure. - Wilson can apparently be a one-man band. - Fire staves, similar to ice staff but... fire. Demonstrated while wearing headdress, maybe that increases the power or durability of magical items? - Pig totem crosses. The pigs seemed to get pretty angry about Wilson going near these. Pigs shout things like "FOR GREAT JUSTICE" and "FOR HIS PLUMPNESS", presumably defending their Pig King or something belonging to him. - Pigs don't get stuck in stupid ways when trying to go home now. Once again, a pathfinding improvment. - Monster skeletons in a spider-infested rocky biome. Spawns a Hound. - Swamp fish people gurgle disgustingly.

Chests do not burn. Apparently storing grass in a wooden crate makes it fire retardant.

I was addressing your claim that a game can never have too many features.

It's 12 days in Adventure and 20 in default Sandbox.

He's still OP. Winter hasn't made him less OP at all. Winter is hard for every character (maybe less WX, I haven't played him all the way through to winter yet).

"Feature creep" is a very common and bad problem.

For a skilled enough player, there is no need. They certainly make things easier though!

This is probably the correct answer. Winter starts on day 12 in Adventure mode and I made it most of the way through it on my first try, without even consciously preparing for winter.

I've heard steam cloud backing up automagically can cause issues like save deletion with Don't Starve, but I know neither how it works nor how to fix it.

I don't agree. It just saves just a couple days at the beginning. It just means you don't need a science machine, which only costs one gold and a tiny bit of wood and stone. The hard part about crafting that stuff isn't getting the right machine, it's getting all the materials for the item itself.

It happens in new worlds. Some are normal, some are black.

Because we like a survival game requiring you to try hard to survive, there's something wrong with us? Okay.

The patch notes mentioned "island chains" which require wormholes to access.

The boomerang allows you to get a total of 10 morsels (possibly less if you attack birds, they don't always drop one). I'd rather use it for aggroing the Koalefant. Also have you played as Wes? I'm pretty sure it can't kill bunnies or birds as him, because he's weak. IMO if it gets nerfed at all it'll be pointless. It's easier to just spear bunnies anyway.
