[Game Update] - 455433
Hey everybody.
We're back with another QOL update, this update contains some changes to world options, they have been split into two categories, world settings (things affect the world after it has been generated), and world generation options (things that affect world generation). By default, saving and loading presets will work as before, or can choose to unlink the world settings and generation options and manage their presets separately. If you host a dedicated server, the method for applying world options is unchanged and will continue to work just fine.
Changes
- Containers can now be opened by multiple players at the same time.
- All actions can be repeated by clicking and holding the action button.
- All crafting recipes can be repeated by double clicking and holding the crafting button.
- Setting world generation options to “More” will no longer generate more of that object in every biome, it will now only generate more of that object in biomes where that object already exists.
- World settings, (things that affect game behavior after the world has been generated) can now be changed after a world has been generated.
- The preset menu has been overhauled to allow custom presets to be named.
- Added over 20 new world generation options.
- Added over 60 new world settings.
- The server commands menu (eg. roll back, regenerate the world, etc) is now accessible via the “Server Commands” button in the not-a-pause pause menu.
- The rescue command has been added to the Server Commands menu.
- The player listing screen (scoreboard) can now also be accessed via the not-a-pause pause menu
-
Added world settings to assist players when joining someone’s server. These settings should only have an impact on public servers. If you are locally hosting your own private world that only you and some friends play on, your experience will not be affected.
- Extra Starting Resources. New players joining a world after day 10 will start with a few extra resources to make up for the starting area being most likely picked clean.
- Seasonal Starting Items. New players joining a world that is not in autumn will receive a basic seasonal clothing item to help them survive long enough to get started.
- Spawn Protection. When a player spawns in, if there are too many structures near the spawn point or if there are hostile creatures, the player will gain a temporary buff that allows them to walk through structures and prevents them from being targeted.
- Drop Items on Despawn. Sets whether a player will drop only irreplaceable items or drop all their items when they leave the server.
- Year of the Beefalo has ended.
- Beefalo bell has been moved into the tools crafting menu,
- Beefalo groomer has been moved into the structures crafting menu. Recipe changed a little.
- The Year of the Beefalo skins are available all the time now.
Bug Fixes
- Ice now floats
- Lesser Glow Berries now have a different animation on the ground.
- Fixed a bug causing birchnut trees to update when they shouldn’t
Notes For Modders
- The worlddeciduoustreeupdater component is now deprecated
- You can see this post for the modding api changes made in this update.
Workshop API Upgrade
The Steam Workshop API has been upgraded, this provides the following improvements:
- Mods will be smaller in file size, along with downloading faster.
- Updates won’t require redownloading the whole mod, instead only the changes are downloaded.
- The File limits imposed by the previous API are gone.
- Mods will be automatically updated by the steam client without the game even needing to be open.
- The Mods Tab should perform better due to using the faster API for getting mod info.
More Victorian Skins!
The gang's all here! The rest of the survivors get the Victorian treatment in the Latecomers' Victorian Chest for $7.99 or you can get the Complete Victorian chest for $24.99usd. I don't know about you, but I need that Wortox skin, like now.
New Login Bonuses!
We have a new login bonus for you. The worm Riddled Chest contains the Snaggletooth Wormhole, Lureplant Wormhole, Arachnoid Wormhole and Glow Berry Bush skins just for logging in to the game.
And this week's Klei Rewards link!
Twitch drops are still on Hiatus but hopefully, we'll have some news pretty soon about their return. But for now, have 1700 points and get something cool. (Link expires on 3/18/2021)
And that's it for now.
We're not quite ready to show you what we're working on just yet, but we will post something as soon as we've got something ready. Until then, have fun out there!

Introducing, Klei Rewards
We are introducing a system that will allow players to collect "points" on their accounts by doing various things like subscribing to our Youtube or following us on Twitter and then use those points to get items. Currently we will be using this to distribute our out of cycle Twitch items rather than selling them as we had previously suggested. This allows players to get what they missed before or just get them without going through Twitch.
The first version of this can be found on our accounts page here: https://accounts.klei.com/account/rewards
In the future we will update the rewards program with new ways to earn more points and pick up cool rewards they may have missed, or even possibly entirely new stuff. Let us know what you think!

Screenshot showcase
A thread like this existed before but I'm afraid it fell deep into the archive, so here is a new one. You can post funny, odd and terrible pictures that you made while playing DST.
Here are some from my collection:
Love this one because it looks like as if the third bunny from the right (not counting the bunny behind the hut) is throwing the small bunny.
My dear Wolfgang managed to trap himself while being sane and of course I mocked him by taking a screenshot and weeks later finding myself trapped in this too while being sane.
Wigfrid is able to fish in carpet. Who would have guessed.

Why can't I just kill Malbatross on land
Why can't I just kill Malbatross on land by teleporting him and myself with the telelocation centers and the staff? This is an equally valuable exchange, a lot of magical resources for fighting on the surface
When I teleport it, it just flies off into the sky

Showing off your outfits [2]
Hi all. The old topic was archived in early 2017, but I thought it'd be a good idea to bring it back. There have been a ton of content since and quite a bit of skins. Personally I really enjoyed the Victorian collection but others were good as well. Well, if you got any cool outfit sets you wish to share - post it here!
I'll start

Wormhole skins
How do you reskin a wormhole... like how does that work?
I’m super intrigued by this.
Also does it just reskin one end? Or the other side as well?

Ideas to next QoL
(sorry for my bad eng)
I really like these updates and I would like to share my ideas with improvements and simplifications.
1) For example, now we have a skins for uncraftable items. And we have Clean Sweeper. It's good but i think it's was be better If for crafting Clean Sweeper should require Prestihatitator, not Shadow Manipulator
2) Also, about start item skins. What about allowing the player to change the skin of the starting item (I got this idea when my newbie friend asked: "why abigail doesn't have a skin, when I have this skin")
I made a quick sketch of how this could be implemented visually:
Spoiler
3) Some characters like Winona, Wigfrid, etc have more than 10 skin packs, but we have only 10 slots for saving skins.
I like this save-skin mechanic, but I hope that we get more slots in the future

Thank you for reading!♥♥♥

Rewards Page Bug?
After visiting the rewards page: https://accounts.klei.com/account/rewards
It shows that I can redeem some items that I already own (I'm sure I own them). Is this a bug or is there two different rarities of these items?
Here is the items:
Pig King Hat, Carrat Torch, Staked Heart, Daggered Heart, Stolen Heart, Knitted Puppy Hat.

Recipes That Could Be Added To Crockpot
What is your crockpot recipes suggestions that could fit in the game? Share with us!
Here is mine, few Turkish food that could fit game very well.
Menemen:
A food that made by roasted onions with tomatoes and eggs. It's healthy but not much filler. Great way to using tomatoes.

Karnıyarık:
A food that made by roasted eggplants with filled meat and garlic. It's could be a non-vegan alternative Stuffed Eggplant for Wigfrid. It's not that healthy but pretty filler.

Mücver:
A food that made by potato, pepper, onion and sometimes carrot too. It's really filler and usually really liked by vegans. I like to eat it on breakfasts which fill me for all day. Could be a great alternative for Meatball.

DST have a big community with people from everywhere, so I'm sure we are gonna get a huge recipe list!

What would the characters with crazy hair look like with normal hair?
I've been thinking of what Wilson would look like with straight hair, and any of the others with crazy hair.

Quality of Life update for optimization?
So the common complaint I'm seeing recently(besides needing a Webber rework) is the game being buggy and crashing after the new update,
Perhaps a similar update to Oxygen Not Included with optimization is in order?

Funny DST misspells
Have you ever misspelled something in a way that makes your friends chuckle? This form is for you to share the stupid typos you or someone else made: Introducing the first one: Cortex Umbra or as I say Cortex Ombra.

New update Seasons
Hi, how do the season settings work with the new update? I had the world I play with my son set at very long autumn, short winter, short spring and short summer. He was struggling with summer so I changed that to none now they all seem to be set to default. Did I do something wrong? Oh I'm on PS4

PSA: March QoL Update - Wildfires World Setting
I don't necessarily think this is a "bug" but more of a side effect of the QoL update that went live today. But wanted to make a PSA to the general DST community.
IF YOU PLAY WITH WILDFIRES DISABLED - CHECK YOUR WORLD SETTINGS! WILDFIRES WE'RE RE-ENABLED WITH THE UPDATE!
You might check any other settings as well, but I had a close call on stream tonight where a piece of turf when up in flames before I realized what was going on during my first days in summer.

Some needed assistance with new world presets and note to devs
So, to no one surprise I am on console. Can I please have some insight as to any irregularities that a preset may entail? Some certainly appear obvious at first glance... or are they?
If I change Mactusk to more do they spawn faster? Or will there be more homes?
If I change beequeen to More can I then presume she will spawn... Faster?
Its a little confusing as some tend to have more or fast. And bunnymen set to more does what above ground as apposed to bunny hutches (I know what more does in this case) in the caves?
SIDE NOTE TO DEVS:
Surely a newer player will be overwhelmed and/or confused by these options. While they can create multiple worlds to learn each present separately, there is a simpler way. It would be nice if pressing "Triangle", indicated in the legend with "help", could offer a small description.
Example: "Causes Bee queen to spawn faster or slower"
As apposed to tree guards:
"Causes tree guards to spawn more or less often"
Sorry, I have a few more:
Grass gekko morphing. Do they spawn more often? In greater numbers? Initial spawn/chance to spawn?
Mosqquitos. Often? Or in greater numbers?
Spider queens. How does this work? Do tier 3 dens come by faster? Does this increase the world cap?
Antlion tribute. Does it come by faster or more often or needs more tributes?
Lord of the fruitflies. What is the factor? More rotted plants needed, is the initial spawn of minimal required days changed, or time between spawns?
Ruins nightmares. More nightmare lights or do they spawn more often or in greater numbers?
Toadstool. More mushrooms to be found or does he spawn faster? Toggle says more and not faster... Does it increase the number of toadstools? I suppose not to the latter as I know how the other bosses work, unless...

How often do you play dst?
Are an active player or do you need to content to keep yourself playing dst?

Salt Box Shaker
This is the only skin I don't have from crystalline collection and I can't find it on the rewards page. Is there a way to obtain this beautiful skin?
