Rev. 554561 (Release)

From Beyond: Taking Root

As the power struggle between the moon and shadows escalates, the pressure is mounting for our Survivors. Loyalties will be forged and tested as new rifts start to slowly expand...

Rifts spewing lunar energy will begin to open in the world, either by defeating the Celestial Champion or by server settings.
The first creatures to spew forth are very interested in gardening.
New and powerful equipment can be crafted from these extra-planar thralls, with the right crafting station.

This content is part of a 3 part set of content updates in the "From Beyond" arc and is available today on Steam, PlayStation and Xbox. Nintendo Switch will be coming soon, it takes a little longer there.

Don't Starve Celebrates 10 Years!

Can you believe it? 10 years of Wilson, the Survivors and the Constant. From our humble beginnings as a Chrome app to well over 25 million copies all around the world and we haven't slowed down yet. Countless updates, bug reports, hot fixes, puzzles, fan art, and even some songs (Beefaloooo!). Don't Starve wouldn't be what it is today without our fans. We've watched some of you grow up and we've watched ourselves grow up.

We're not perfect, but we truly do try our hardest to do the best we can for you all and we hope you feel the same love from us that we feel from you.

Thank you. From all of us.

To celebrate we have a few gifts for you. This post is going to get rather large, so hang in there with me please.

We got together and signed a poster for you!

Unfortunately we couldn't print and send out a poster to all 25+ million of you, but we did make a high rez poster that you can print yourself. Both a signed and unsigned original Thank You poster made for DS10 is available on the Klei Rewards page for free. We've also added another special signed and unsigned version as vignettes in Don't Starve Together.

Free Anniversary Login Bonus in Don't Starve Together.

The Celebratory Science Machine and Celebratory Cake Chest are available for free for a limited time just for logging into the game. We'll add these to Klei Rewards at some point in the future, but if you want them now, go get 'em!

We also have some new skins for sale in the game. The Complete Verdant Chest and the Blooming Verdant Chest are now available.

All the Streams!

It would be absolutely insane if we didn't take a moment to thank our streamers. And to do that we have given our Ambassadors 10 bundle codes of item skins and a bonus code for 10k spools for Ambassadors to give to their viewers. So go head over to an Ambassador stream, check them out for your chance for one of over 3000 codes up for grabs.

Our own Stream!

We're also going to be hosting our own stream later today where we'll be taking about "Taking Root" and revealing some info about what's coming up in the next update and what the heck is going on in "From Beyond"

Be sure to click the follow button on the Klei Twitch channel to get alerted whenever we go live

Feel free to use our handy widget below to see when the Dev Cast goes live in your area:

New Twitch Drops!

We're offering a new set of streaming drops over on Twitch.tv. (expired)

I think that's it!

It's probably also worth mentioning that all but the newest skins are on sale right now and Don't Starve Together is currently on massive discount on all platforms. (Up to 90% off!)

We're already well on our way into the next couple updates. And we'll have more information about that soon enough. But for now, that's it for this post. As always, here's a nice link for some spools, just for being you. If you have any friends or family that pick up the game during the big sale, make sure to let them know because you can get a lot of great stuff with the 10k Klei Points in that link!

Till next time friends, Thank you. And have fun out there!

When Bunnymen are challenged to a Pillow Fight, they now go to the nearest Pillow Fight Pit, instead of the first one built.

Rev. 538959 (Release)

Let's get ready to slumber!! The Year of the Bunnyman has begun!

To celebrate the Year of the Bunnyman we have added a new activity in the game, some new item drops and some new streaming items!

Summon Cozy Bunnymen to the surface for a slumber party.
Join in the frivolity of pillow fighting and "spin the carrot".
Formally challenge one or more Bunnymen to a Pillow Fighting Pit for a chance to win Lucky Gold Nuggets.
Buy different grades of Pillow to both arm and armor yourself for the Pit.
Purchase old items and new snacks as well as new Rabbit Lamps to decorate your base.

New Skins!

The Masquerader Survivors Chest can be purchased in a chest for $8.99usd and contains skins for: Willow, Warly, Wortox, Wes, and Woodie. As always, these items will be available as drops in game and are also weaveable using spool.

The Mosaic Mushlamp will join the Art Nouveau collection. Check out the post for more details.

And that's it for now. The team is well on it's way to finishing out the roadmap and some of the team is even working on content for the 2023 content schedule. We'll have a new roadmap coming up rather soon. You're going to need to hold out a little longer but I promise, it will be worth the wait. Bold statement, I know but we're pretty excited and we think you will be too. See you next time!

Happy New Year!

We hope you all a good holiday season. I certainly ate a little too much

Today we've got a new beta for you to check out. Most of the changes involved are the technical things in the backend and with the game's networking, and we'd love some assistance testing them and letting us know what you think!

Changes

Migrated to our new lobby services. This should not affect player experience. New lobby listings can now be seen at (https://lobby-v2-cdn.klei.com/{aws_region}-{platform}.json.gz)
Server listings are now downloaded in parallel to speed up the server browser.
Improved synchronization between client and server when using client prediction.
Changes were made to Steam Workshop handling for mods.
- Please report anything going wrong with mods downloading, updating, or deleting with the associated log files.

Bug Fixes

Fixed Frogs not going to sleep at night if they have no home to return to.
Fixed Hot Rod's Driving Gloves having missing colouration.
Fixed Willow’s Magmatic having stray art around the hair.
Fixed a typo in the overheating overlay making it appear less often than intended during Summer.

Notes to Modders

Particle Emitters have been changed to crash less when having unexpected input but will log errors repeatedly instead. Please keep this in mind when testing emitters and fix up any logs you see to make particles visually work on clients.
R26_LOBBY_NETWORKQOL added in case there are breaking changes or added features.
