Tried guessing what Webber's face looked like from the bits we see of him from the animated short.

Gave him bushy eyebrows like his father because he seems to take after his father when it comes to his hair.

From his side profile it looks like he has his moms small pointy nose.

And we know he's got big circular eyes like his mom.

I'm probably off in some way, like are his eyes too big? are they too far apart? How close is his nose to his eyes, etc.

But this is what I ended up with, idk wdythink? I'd love to see other people's try at drawing his face too. Well

from what we can make out that is.

Do you know any game mechanic that could not be very popular, you use for your advantage and could let us know?

For example: If you feed a pig x4 monster meat and kill it, you get 2x meat and 1x pig skin; two out of three ingredients to prototype hambat, also, you can repeat the process to get pig skin without destroying pig houses.

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!

i think it's apparent that everyone has skill in (at least) one area of the game they consider themselves experts in while they might not know much about other parts of the game, and i'm pretty curious about the spread of said expertise on the forums

for the sake of this poll, i ask that you pick the one skill you think you're the best at, even if you consider yourself good in multiple areas 

and p.s. if you got any cool tips based on the option you picked, please share them. would love to see

After Webber's rework spiders can smile to indicate they are friendly. Some players may find this facial expression cute, but many are creeped out by this. To me, original spiders are ugly-cute in their own way, and I don't like these new smiling faces at all.

3 reasons why it's unfit. First, friendly spiders keeps smiling during battle. They chase and attack with a smile!  This is so confusing. Normally, you would expect them being angry, so a smile in such situation is emotionally unacceptable for me.

Then, spiders smiles in a weird way. A big smile like this with the mouth wide open requires many muscle parts to work, so usually, it shouldn't last long. In other word, these always-smiling spiders give the impression that they are forced to open their mouth rather than they are happy, which is weird.  (Even Webber doesn't do the smiley face all the time, you know.)

Third, the transform from smiling animation to hissing(or smiling/attacking) feels very divided. This sudden face-swap is uncomfortable visually, and it feels ugly, rough and somehow very cheap.

One more thing from the point of gameplay. Although it's a way to distinguish friendly and regular spiders, it's not necessary. Option to turn off smiling spiders won't be game changing, plus it should only take effects locally, meaning that setting it to off will leave your teammates who have the option on unbothered.

In conclusion, I prefer the original not sliming spiders, befriended or not. Yet, using smiley face to distinguish spiders is a really cool design, and many people may think smiling spiders are cute. So, all I hope is to add a setting to be able to turn off spiders' smiley faces, then everyone will be happy.

Here is a link of Webber new Webber Animated Short.

I am a member of the translation team. My task is to translate the narration into Chinese.
Here is the narrator text I got from the youtube. 

Spoiler

 

There was once a young boy who would not hurt a fly.
Living on a small farm underneath the blue sky.
Now this story I warn you is not for free part.
but a sad terrible begain the boy trouble start.
All the boy ever wangted was just be seen.
noticed by his father who never meant to be mean.
He was absorbed in his work no time for play or talk.
And the boy grew to despise the click of that lock.
as the lonely days passed, Jealous thoughts filled his mind.
the boy turned to naughtiness when once he was kind.

So he came up with  a plan to get papa's attention.
And one fateful night he broke into his father's collection.
contraptions treasures and oddities galore.
He tipped over the glass case and it shattered on the floor.
Out gave a spider it gave the bad boy a fright.
eight eye peeled into his soul and brunched.
oh turn away my dear friend. I don't want to see.
for this boy and his spider were not meant to meet.
for that night with one bite they became something new.
a boy and a rock.
Now one no longer two.

these pets screamed and they yelled in fight and the sight.
and chased him away where he got lost in the night.
He was cold and was scared. he vowed he'd be nice.
he begged for a way to change back no matter the price.

Noses and Eyes and Eyebrows and Haircolor and Combinatorics

So @Rico0 pointed out how Webber's Mom and George T. Witherstone's Daughter look suspiciously alike.
I think that's a great thought! Earlier this week I've sorted every character by their facial characteristics, so while I was at it, I wanted to check how likely this could be a coincidence. Here's what I came up with:

I've included the four important facial variables Nose - Eyes - Eyebrows - Hair Color. I've excluded Head-Shape, Skin Tone and Hair Structure, as I've found them to be too annoying and difficult to categorize. 

It is quite the dilletantish statistical experiment and the "data" isn't worth much because:
- As I've previously stated, I've only included four aspects.
- Family relationships cannot be clearly defined. Though Charlie and Winona (and possibly Webber) both bear many attributes of their parents, Warly for example has white Eyes unlike both his Mother and his (presumed) Father. Either DST-Genetics include recessive traits, or the artists made some liberal choices to make things pretty.
- Different artists worked on the Shorts, Trailers and Sprites. Best example is Wigfrid's round nose in the Forge-Trailer. Warly has brown hair in his Short, his ingame Sprite clearly shows him with black hair however. Whenever possible, I've used references in the new "canon" artstyle (e.g. no Woodie Short).

Each character has a four-digit code representing his facial features. idk, numbers are fun.

So, Noses: 
(the pointy noses at 4 were hard to define)


Eyes:
(X is unknown)


Eyebrows:
(I've just been going by "smooth" and "brushy". Not much of a "genetic" thing as they can be trimmed, but included them anyways)


Hair Color:
(X is unknown. Wickerbottom is technically unknown, but since her Ingame-Sprite is black, I just went with black)





So now each character has a Code:

 

Characters:
1X1X- Wagstaff
1112- Warly
2211- Wilson
2111- Willow
2311- Wickerbottom
3221- Wolfgang
3211- Maxwell
312X- Woodlegs
4123- Wigfrid
4311- Charlie
4211- Winona
4114- Wendy
4114- Abigail
4211- Wes
5111- Walter
5111- Walani
9123- Woodie
0112- Wheeler

Character Family:
1212- Warly's Mom
1212- Warly's Dad
2223- Webber's Dad
4113- Webbers Mom
3211- Jack Carter
4X11- Charlie's Mom
6211- Charlie's Dad

Side Characters:
1123- Caregiver Woman
2311- Caregiver Man
6211- Side Character Couple Woman Wes Trailer
7211- Side Character Couple Man Wes Trailer
7211- Side Character Dog Boy Trailer
8X11- Side Character Monkey Man Trailer
8213- Side Character Crepes Man Wes Trailer
8212- Side Character Waiter Wes Trailer
3121- George T. Witherstone
4113- George T. Witherstone's Daughter
3321- Pugna
311X- Curio Collector
5211- Genny


The peeps with same codes are: 
(brackets include where a more precise method would have brought better results)

1212- Warly's Dad
1212- Warly's Mom
(share many characteristics, though their skin color is different.)

2311- Caregiver Man
2311- Wickerbottom
(interestingly, even their head is similarly shaped. The Eyes aren't confirmed though due to his glasses and his Hair structure is different)

3211- Jack Carter
3211- Maxwell
(they are siblings, obviously)

4113- George T. Witherstone's Daughter
4113- Webbers Mom
(nggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg)

4114- Abigail
4114- Wendy
(they are twins, obviously)

4211- Wes
4211- Winona
(6211 - Charlie's Dad)
(fairly interesting! Quite unlikely, but Wes does look much like Charlie's and Winona's Dad/Winona.. Not the same code since I've considered his nose to be a tad different, but that's pretty hard to tell from the photo alone)

5111- Walani
5111- Walter
(cute one, but the hair structure and skin tone differs)

6211- Charlie's Dad
6211- Side Character Couple Woman Wes Trailer
(yeah well the noses are a weak point in my method. Also the hair structure and skin tone is different )

7211- Side Character Couple Man Wes Trailer
7211- Side Character Dog Boy Trailer
(They've all been drawn by the same artist and are set in the same neighborhood. Also his skin tone and Hair structure slightly differs.



So the ones without clear facial differences are:
Jack and Maxwell
Wendy and Abiga
Wes, Winona and Charlie's/Winona's Dad
Witherstone's Daughter and Webbers Mom


I conclude the similarities between With.'s Daughter and Webbers Mom are unlikely, but the method is pretty scuffed anyways so what do I know it was fun though

I know Klei is not directly connected to Newhome but does the game's lore connected somehow? Just like how is it in Shipwrecked and Hamlet.

Simple question, can someone explain to me what is the spider’s defensive stance, explained on the rework notes? I can’t figure it out yet.

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.

We have 1 more character refresh coming this year. Who do you think it's gonna be and who do you think deserves it the most? Personally I think it's going to be either Wolfgang or WX-78 because they don't provide much to the team and as we can see refreshes usually make characters team players. I also am really curious about their origin: the only thing we know about Wolfgang is that he probably is from a eastern European country, WX-78 is also very mysterious, the only thing we know about it is that it's probably a creation of Wagstaff

My Wagstaff senses are-a tingling

ᵂᵃᵍˢᵗᵃᶠᶠ

Klei has fueled my obsession once again.

Wagstaff pulled a spider out of the constant and caused Webber to fuse with it.

Wagstaff's goggles, the top of his lunar extractor, what appear to be lunar moths and of course an alchemy engine are in Webber's father's lab.

The compendium says: 
"Once upon a time, there was a young boy who lived with his family on a small farmstead. Though they lived humbly, the boy's home was filled with love, and he grew up happy and kind. They boy might have lived contentedly for the rest of his days if not for the sudden arrival of an old acquaintance, who came to the house beseeching the boy's father for his expertise on a strange and secretive project..."

The father and Wagstaff know each other, etc.

I am very happy and satisfied with just the animation alone, but the update itself makes it all even better. Thanks Klei!

I am a spider(specifically a warrior spider) and I must tell the story behind tyrant villain Webber:

I was 1 year old when HE came to our forest. HE amazed everyone with his enormous body and befriended Spider queens and... HE started to play us off against other spider tribes. We killed our kins because HE wanted so, we cannibalized our fellows because HE wanted so!! I was 3 years old when HE forced us to make a coup to our queen and like all times we had to eat her meat!

Lately HE has invented some devices and things to brainwash us. HE orders and we attack, HE orders and we defend! And HE gives some kind of hallucinating meat! I did eat it one time and I was smiling all day even when I was fighting!! How cruel! How relentless!!

And and!! HE made my mom and dad into Cave spiders!! Mom and dad no longer knows me... I am lonely.. I am cold...

Oh no HE has found me! HE will ea.........

I'm not sure if this is really obvious, or if somebody already pointed it out, but just in case I'm gonna post this.

I was wondering why, instead of showing up as some shadow apparition or something, maxwell (well, his head) showed up in the trailer in the form of lightning during a storm. And then I remembered

"To unlock Webber one must be playing in a Reign of Giants save game. The player has to find Webber's Skull as a drop from Spiders, then bury the skull inside a dug up Grave mound. After that, Lightning will immediately strike the grave. Webber will rise from the mound and become unlocked." 

 

There has to be a link between the two - no other character in DS is unlocked this way. It's unique to Webber. Perhaps lightning Maxwell made a deal with webber (by saying "if you come with me you can join your family again" when he means the spider's family?) And then struck him with lightning, and which point he wakes up in a grave in the constant. But hey, it's just a theory. A GAME THEORY.

Anyways, sorry if this is really obvious or something, just wanted to put this out there in case it's not really.

This is about webbers switcher-doodles. To get right to the point, many are too expensive to justify using them, while others are redundant or even harmful to have. The upgrade from basic to warrior spider is an jump from 100 to 400 health. so why does it cost an entire pigskin for a temporary follower (permanent followers are a bug, i guarentee it) that i could pull out of a tier 2 den and put a trap on. With the prices 99% of the time its faster to just gather up spiders than farm the materials needed. So i rebalanced a few key spiders (i’m ignoring monster meat and silk because thats there to convince them to take their medicine):

Warrior spider: same cost, produces 2 switcher-doodles.

it would be cheaper to put helmets on regular spiders than it would be to bother making warrior spiders, so i doubled up the number of doodles you get per craft, pigskins are easy enough to come by, its just hard to justify the craft for just ONE followe

dangling depth dwellers get the same treatment due to the dangerous nature of bunnies for webber

spitters: 1 pigskin and 1 nitre

nitre is a limited resource, and outside of moleworm burrows and meteor showers, once its gone its gone, i would need a full stack just to get 10 spitters, and since spiders can be fragile in a lot of situations i say the cost should be greatly reduced, if i need to mine for literal days to have a worthwhile number of spitters id just as soon remove them from my armies entirey and just have more warriors/basics, they do justify a high cost due to their nature of simultaneously being the dps and being ranged. 
shattered spiders: the price is good

the problem is they cause any self-respecting diversified spider army to implode, so make it to where their spikes dont hit spiders and we’re good to go. 
 

healer spider: change it from two honey to a healing glop.

yes you heard me right, make them more expensive, i can hire them easier than warriors and thats not right considering they’re the best spider to have.

Final thoughts:

i only covered the spiders legitimately worth having, cave spiders wont attract aggro without a weird butf to them, and being in their shell tanks dps

other people have ideas worth listening to about the rest of webbers kit, i just wanted to lay down some specifics about what i think is fair for the prices on these spiders
