[h3]Its Roadmap Time![/h3]

NOTE: This roadmap is provided to let players know what our current plans are for the year. As a studio, we constantly re-evaluate and adjust as necessary, so this is not a guarantee of upcoming content and these plans may change. We will do our best to communicate these changes if they come along, but we try our best to see our roadmaps through to completion.

[h3]2023 Recap[/h3]
For 2023 our goal was to further build up systems in the game that would allow us to add challenges for existing players but also make the game a bit less opaque for new players and deliver on some common player expectations of a multiplayer game.

We added skill trees for Wilson, Willow, Wigfrid, Woodie, Wolfgang and Wormwood. We added the scrapbook to help players learn more about the world and new end game content with new challenges and equipment.

We also had a fun crossover event with Cult of the Lamb, finished adding shared unlocks for all platforms as well as all of our usual holiday events.

We're pretty happy with the progress we have made but we went through a few pain points along the way that we want to address with this roadmap.

[h3]Whats coming up?[/h3]
For 2024 we are going to continue these, but we have decided to change our update process for this year. Were going to have longer periods between updates in order to have more substantial and impactful gameplay updates.

We have been working toward this goal for the past several months and this roadmap is where we will start with a newer schedule. With our new schedule we will be releasing 4 major updates; each containing a mix of QOL, content and additional character updates. In between these updates we will be releasing new lore shorts, new skins and occasional news on their own just to keep things from being too quiet for too long.

I think its important to make some clarifications here. We have been doing frequent and regular updates since Dont Starve originally debuted on the Chrome web store in 2011. We believe the cadence of these updates has helped our games remain fresh and interesting but also helps us build strong community interest. We are pretty apprehensive about this change as we are concerned that the time between updates could slow the community down. So we will be watching closely and making adjustments as needed in the future.

This isnt a massive change, but it is a change and we think the result will be a much more enjoyable experience for players overall.

Its also worth mentioning that we have not changed staffing or output at any level of production. This is an adjustment purely for providing more comprehensive updates, not an effort to reduce or otherwise shift resources on these updates.

It should be said that less frequent updates mean less update prep which should allow a bit more time working directly on each update, but I dont want to set expectations too high here. Dont Starve Together has become a massive game with a lot of moving parts, and it takes us a bit more time to put things together than it did in the past. The point is that youre still getting the same amount of content in this roadmap, just not as frequent.

[h3]Anything else?[/h3]
This is going to take us a little bit of time to get into the swing of things, but also going to try to do a bit more to communicate future updates to players while you're waiting. This may come in the way of forum posts or streams, but you will see a bit more information as we near release so people can see the game is being worked on.

This will begin after our update in February.

[h3]Thats it for now[/h3]
We have the Year of the Dragonfly coming February 8th and after that we have a QOL+More update coming at the end of March. Well share more information as soon as we can.

See you soon! - https://accounts.klei.com/link/2024Roadmap

We just got finished with round 1 of our annual Winter Game Jam. Jen, a writer on Don't Starve Together experimented with making some historically accurate Don't Starve Themed holiday cards and while we don't normally share things we make during the game jam, we thought that you might make good use of them.

Hey Everybody! Klei Fest is Coming June 15th!

Summer is on its way and that means so is Klei Fest. During Klei Fest, we will have a burst of content, items, events, sales, and more interesting things happening for all things Klei!

We've got game updates for Hot Lava, Oxygen Not Included, and Don't Starve Together. We have a new game to announce and we've even got more exciting news and demos from Klei Publishing and more!

If you're not already, make sure to follow our Steam developer page so you don't miss out!



During last year's Klei Fest we announced Rotwood, our 1-4 player hack-and-slash dungeon crawler. For this year we're going to be opening up a single-player combat focus test so you can check it out for yourself! (Only available on Windows for now)

In this single-player combat focus test you will try out four different weapon types and fight through two dungeons, each populated with a unique set of Rots and a large Boss Rot at the end. As you delve into the ever-changing Rotwood, you'll also meet a handful of villagers who will support you by using the materials you've gathered to craft and upgrade sets of armor & weapons (and maybe even cook you the occasional delicious meal!)

While you will get a small glimpse of our weapon, armor, and other work-in-progress systems, this playtest is entirely focused on combat. So sign up now so you can join us next week and let us know what you think!

Head over to the store page to sign up now to get in on the action when we open up the playtest next week!

Come one, come all!

Welcome.

The time has come around again this year. We had plans made, creations to unveil, and a whole new "can of air" product line that would make even the most stylish of person envious! That is until we realized what day that would be on. Saturday.

So to change our plans at the last moment imaginable we have decided to leave behind a box of comics and pamphlets to get, featuring the most memorable and famous titles such as "Mermio and Pigliet" and "Survival for Geniuses"! To help you get them all we have something for you to look at.

"Interference"
A fresh start and a change of surroundings is just the thing for someone looking for their first big scientific breakthrough. Unfortunately for Wilson, his surroundings were about to change far more drastically than he anticipated.

Highlights:

Wilson Changes

• Wilson becomes more seasoned over time by getting "insight"that he can spend on learning new skills.
• Wilson can use "insight" to open new abilities in categories of "Beard" "Torch" and "Alchemy"
• The Insightpersists between games.

• A new creature can be found in the world.

Anybody interested in a roadmap?

NOTE: Please remember that the roadmap is provided to give the community a sense of what we are working on and what is driving our decisions and what we are focused on in the coming year. None of this is a promise or a guarantee. We always prioritize quality over deadlines and all dates and timelines are estimated to the best of our current ability. Many long-time fans will know that we often add new things to these plans which often shifts things around a bit, so it is recommended that you avoid scheduling your vacation plans around our dates.

This roadmap is subject to change at any time, but as we have done in the past, we will let you know if any of these plans change significantly.

2022 Recap
Our goal for 2022 was to Set the Stage for what was to come next for DST.

In the 2022 roadmap we saw the Year of the Catcoon and Bunnyman. We released refreshes for Maxwell, Wickerbottom, WX-78 and Wilson is right around the corner. We released QOL updates all over the place including a revamped Crafting UI, a redesigned Ancient Guardian, Map QOL changes, World Presets and New World Settings.

We introduced Shared Unlocks and Offline Skins. We added more games to the Midsummer Cawnival and we released the Curse of the Moon Quay and A Little Drama updates.

We released 10 sets of Twitch Drops and 50+ hotfixes with bug fixes, tweaks, and balance changes.

2022 was a busy year for Dont Starve Together. While it may not have been as content heavy as some players were hoping for, the changes were necessary to prepare for 2023 and were ready to talk about that a bit.

This is going to be a pretty substantial post, so I am going to give a bit of a brief TL;DR summary first, then get into the meaty bits. Additionally, I should mention that were still doing a lot of experimentation and tweaks to how these plans are being implemented at the moment, so I have to be light with the details (surprise, surprise). But we want you to know what you have to look forward to.

Whats coming up in 2023? (TL;DR)
Our goal for the next roadmap is to smooth out the experience for less experienced players and provide longer lasting endgame challenges for veteran players.

• 3 Content Updates
• 2 Core Game Enhancement Updates
• All the usual events
• A secret bite-sized crossover
• Dont Starve 10 Year Celebration

[h3]And finally![/h3]
We're getting ready for a long Winter's Nap - but when we return we're going to have the next Lunar New Year event and it's almost time for our final character refresh and a new Roadmap!

DST just keeps getting bigger and better every year and we're looking forward to our new plans in 2023 and we can't wait to share.

And more!! We will also have some big announcements that you definitely don't want to miss, a few in fact.

See you next week!

The WX-78 Character Refresh is available now on Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam. Nintendo Switch will be getting this content in an upcoming update.

We're working on a large update to catch Nintendo Switch up with all platforms now that it's released with the goal of keeping it updated in line with them. Stay tuned for more details specific to Nintendo Switch.

[h3]Disconnected[/h3]

After the wiring to their long-unused empathy module is repaired, WX-78 finds themselves suddenly reconnecting with memories theyd hoped to keep buried.

[h3]WX-78 Changes[/h3]

• WX-78 can create circuits that can be installed to unlock special abilities.
  
• WX-78 can unplug their circuits by utilizing a Circuit Extractor. Unfortunately, this means losing any charge that the circuits were taking up!
  
• WX-78 learns how to construct circuits by scanning organics with their Bio Scanalyzer.
  
• The Bio Scanalyzer also produces Bio Data, which is used to create circuits, alongside material from the scanned organic.
  
• WX-78's circuits are powered by their electrical charge meter. The meter restores itself over time, and can also be restored by other means.
  
• If WX-78 gets too wet, they begin losing electricity. If they run out of electricity, they begin to lose health.
  
• WX-78 also loses electricity when they are starving, as they no longer have the energy to maintain their charge level.
  
• WX-78 can eat gears to regain health, sanity, and hunger. If WX-78 dies, they will drop some of the gears that they have eaten.
  
• Clockworks are less aggressive towards WX-78.

• Actions like harvesting grass with the mouse have returned to require clicking each one instead of holding down the mouse button.
  
• Repeating actions where you use the same item, such as cooking on a fire or feeding Beefalo are still functional.
  
• Combat targeting with the mouse button has returned to the state where you must completely stop attacking before the target can be changed. Fixing this is a high priority task.
  
• This should also resolve issues around holding F to attack, delays between attacks, and some crashes.

• Fixed an issue where players were unable to mine rocks when clicking with the mouse button.

[h3]Changes[/h3]

• WX-78 can create circuits that can be installed to unlock special abilities.
  
• WX-78 can unplug their circuits by utilizing a Circuit Extractor. Unfortunately, this means losing any charge that the circuits were taking up!
  
• WX-78 learns how to construct circuits by scanning organics with their Bio Scanalyzer.
  
• The Bio Scanalyzer also produces Bio Data, which is used to create circuits, alongside material from the scanned organic.

• WX-78 loses electrical charge and health when they get too wet.

• Fixed an attack delay issue when switching targets via mouse-clicking.
  
• Fixed an issue where the wrong monster would be attacked by mouse-clicking.

Crafting

• Item Priority for crafting has been changed to the following:
  
  
  
  • Crafting will attempt to choose items with the smallest stack size
    
  • All open containers except backpacks first. If stack counts are the same, it will choose items closer to the bottom of the container.
    
  • Your inventory is next. If stack counts are the same, it will choose items closest to the left side of your inventory.
    
  • Your backpack is next. If stack counts are the same, it will choose items closest to the left side(integrated backpack) or top(separated backpack) of your backpack.
    
  • Finally, if you have an item on your mouse cursor, it will try that item.
    
  
  
• Ingredients required for a recipe can now be crafted directly from that recipe.
  
  
  
  • Eg: if you want to build a spear and have 2 twigs, 1 flint, 2 cut grass. When you attempt to build the spear, it will build the rope first, instead of requiring you to find the ropes recipe and then head back to the spears recipe.
    
  • Note: This will only craft one level deep of required materials. It will not craft an ingredients ingredients.
    
  • An icon will display indicating which ingredients will be crafted.

Since the launch of Don't Starve Together we have been building resources for our players to be able to get cool item skins in lots of different ways. Soon, players will be able to share these skins across participating platforms.

We expect this to launch around the time of the Nintendo Switch launch on April 12th, we're just finalizing some things and it will be good to go soon.

We know there are going to be a bunch of questions about this, some of which we have the answers to below.
[h3]
When will this be available on Playstation?[/h3]
At this time we don't know. We're trying, but unfortunately, the requirements to get this on to Playstation are more than a studio our size can handle for such a service.

We have been preparing for this for a long time and now that we have several platforms ready to participate, we decided to move forward. We understand that this is going to be very disappointing for some players and we want you to know that if/when we can make this happen for you, we will implement it as soon as we possibly can.

[h3]How will this work?
[/h3]We'll have more details as this is released, but when players get drops, these drops are granted to your Klei Account and that's what you have in-game. Soon, you will be able to merge multiple platform accounts onto a single Klei Account and seamlessly use your items on everything connected. This includes crockpot recipes, farming research, item skins, and characters that you gained through drops including woven characters and skins.

Bolts (Console Premium Currency) cannot be shared between platforms.

[h3]How are drops affected?[/h3]
All connected accounts will share a single drop pool once connected. All connected platform accounts will act as 1 single Klei Account.

[h3]Does that mean we get Crossplay soon?[/h3]
No, but maybe? Just like shared items, crossplay is something we would love to do. However along with it being a lot of work to implement these are things that aren't necessarily accessible to smaller teams like ours. But times are changing and hopefully in the future things like this will be made easier for all developers.

[h3]Anything else?[/h3]
The team is still working on finishing up this feature. We'll have more information at the time of release including details on account merging and what to expect as the feature releases.

• Please switch to using PlayerHud:IsCraftingOpen() or look into the usage of PlayerController:IsEnabled() if you would like to support actions while the crafting menu is open but not while the player is typing in the search box.
  
• AddRecipe2s config parameter should be optional again.

The update is coming a little later than we had expected because the new crafting menu is a pretty substantial change and we wanted to make sure we adjusted to feedback and got things nice and ready before heading out to the live version.

The patch notes will be coming next week, but the highlights include:

The Workshop guidelines have been updated to better clarify the prohibition of monetized content on the workshop.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=441378551

Mods fall under our Player Creation Guidelines. As such, Mods are not permitted to be sold or contain any sort of paywall or features provided in exchange for money.

Mod creators are generally permitted to provide donation links but not permitted to offer services or content in exchange for monetary support or otherwise incentivize donations.

We have not been actively enforcing this part of our guidelines as we attempted to find a compromise that would be helpful for mod creators that wanted to monetize their content but also safe and reliable for our players.

We considered methods to allow modders to provide methods to monetize their content. Unfortunately, we have been unable to find a path forward that we feel would work well.

With that being said. Beginning March 1st 2022, mods in violation of this rule will be removed from the workshop. Mods that currently offer content or benefits in exchange for money or donations are asked to remove these restrictions before March 1st to avoid further action.

Hey everybody. It's Roadmap time again!

NOTE: Please remember that the roadmap is provided to give the community a sense of what we are working on and what is driving our decisions and what we are focused on in the coming year. None of this is a promise or a guarantee. We always prioritize quality over deadlines and all dates and timelines are estimated to the best of our current ability. Many long-time fans will know that we often add new things to these plans which often shifts things around a bit, so it is recommended that you avoid scheduling your vacation plans around our dates.

This roadmap is subject to change at any time, but as we have done in the past, we will let you know if any of these plans change significantly.

[h2]2021 Recap. [/h2]
For 2021 we aimed to "keep on keeping on". As we have previously seen our content schedule of character refreshes and occasional substantial content updates has continued to work out well for the team and players.

In 2021 we released one new character, three character refreshes, two significant QOL updates, two major content updates. We brought Kleifest and the Summer Cawnival as well as our regular holiday events and a surprise content update with our Terraria collaboration. We had SO much fun working with Re-logic for this fun little diversion that turned out to be not so little. I don't know if we'll ever have another awesome opportunity like that, but it was an absolute blast and we're thrilled everybody enjoyed it so much.

We did have to make room for the Terraria collaboration by shifting around updates, but frankly - the team really needed that time to do something different for a little while, and I think it was worth it. We're well on our way to some great content updates for 2022.

We have four more character refreshes we need to get through this year before we can move onto some more substantial plans we have for 2023. So our content updates this year will be mainly focused on setting the stage for what comes next.

However, it's worth noting that this roadmap is much more focused and established internally than in previous years as we focus to prepare for the next content arc.

[h2]What's Next?[/h2]

We have a strong schedule ahead for 2022 that is intended on smoothing out the game in preparation for the next arc after finishing the next four character refreshes. This roadmap is actually going to stretch a little into 2023 as we finally refresh W... I mean.. the last character.

In addition to this, the QOL updates are planned to be more significant in such a way that they will affect how you play the game a bit more than previously. More details on that as we get closer to those coming out to a test branch in February.
[h2]
The Plan for 2022[/h2]

• Year of the Catcoon + 2023 "Year of the...." event
  
• Four Character refreshes ending in Q1 2023
  
• Three QOL updates
  
• More Cawnival games and prizes
  
• Three "setting the stage" Content updates
  

Bug Fixes:

• Wilsons Merrymaker beard is no longer required for his Merrymaker ensemble Reward emote.
  
• Tuned the potato sack ingredients
  
• The bell on the gym only shows for the exerciser.
  
• Fixed various skins related texture bugs.

• Fixed missing skinned items on gym when its being used.

• Fixed a missing string when Wolfgang attempted to work out while hungry.
  
• Missing ornaments have been added to the game, and will be accessible in the next hotfix.
  
• A few items were missed from a couple of shop chests. Were adding them to the chests now, and users that missed out will have the items added to their inventory. This retroactive granting of missed items will take place over the next 24 hours. Well also be granting some bonus Spools to the affected users as they may have lost out by weaving the items.
  
  • Added missing Wanda Merrymaker items to shop chests.
    
  • Added Woven variant of Wolfgangs Riding Boots. This item will also be added to the appropriate Wolgang shop chests.
    

Today we have our next character refresh! We also have some new skins and a new short, new streaming drops, and the return of Winters Feast!

[h3]Don't Starve Together: The Incredible Strongman[/h3]
Wolfgang always prided himself on his strength, but after an embarrassing mishap reveals his might to be a touch exaggerated, he finds himself eager to accept any opportunity to get stronger no matter how dubious the source.

[h3]Here are the details:[/h3]

• Instead of being directly connected to his hunger, Wolfgangs forms are now controlled by a new Might Meter.
  
  • Filling the Might Meter requires Wolfgang to work out using one of his new craftable items
    
  • The meter goes down over time and the draining rate is determined by Wolfgangs Hunger, the hungrier he is, the faster it goes down
  
  
• Wolfgangs linear values are now constants
  
• Wolfgang freezes and overheats faster when in Wimpy form, but slower while Mighty
  
• When Mighty Wolfgang can carry heavy items faster. He does not lose Might while carrying heavy objects
  
• Mighty Wolfgang works faster when chopping wood, mining or hammering things
  
• Wolfgang is a more efficient rower when Mighty
  
• His speed no longer changes with his forms
  
• Wolfgangs hunger and health are now at a maximum of 200 regardless of his form
  
• Wolfgang sanity rate changes depending on the number of friends and enemies in his company
  
• Deals more damage when Mighty and less when Wimpy. Also takes extra damage in Wimpy form
  
• Wolfgang can build a Gym Station structure
  
  • Player will need to use the gym to gain mightiness
    
  • Players can load the gym with different heavy items to change its effectiveness
    
  • Consumes hunger as players work out
  
  
• Wolfgang can craft a consumable Dumbbell item to restore his Might on the go. It does not consume hunger and can be used as a weapon

• An Uncommon Holiday
  
  • Winter skins have appeared to get our survivors into the winter spirit, and for a limited time, the chances of receiving a rare gift have been substantially increased!
  
  
• Festive Holiday Attire
  
  • For the duration of the Winter's Feast event, players will have access to a free set of skins. The Yuletide Overcoat, Yuletide Frock, Jingly Tophat, Gingerbread Chest, and the Plum Pudding Cap.
  
  

Wolfgang has spent his life striving for ultimate strength, and despite the all-too-frequent frights the Constant has thrown at him, it has also provided ample opportunities to put his muscles to the test. With a training regimen as challenging as the world itself, Wolfgang will prove just why he holds the title of The Incredible Strongman!

[h3]Wolfgang's character refresh arrives next week - December 16th.[/h3]

Here are some of the details:

• Instead of being connected to his hunger, Wolfgangs forms are now controlled by a new Might Meter.
  
  • Filling the Might Meter requires Wolfgang to work out using one of his new craftable items
    
  • The meter goes down over time and the draining rate is determined by Wolfgangs Hunger, the hungrier he is, the faster it goes down
  
  
• Wolfgangs linear values are now constants
  
• Wolfgang freezes and overheats faster when in Wimpy form, but slower while Mighty
  
• When Mighty Wolfgang can carry heavy items faster
  
• Does not lose Might while carrying heavy objects
  
• Wolfgang is a more efficient rower when Mighty
  
• His speed no longer changes with his forms
  
• Wolfgangs hunger and health are now at a maximum of 200 regardless of his form
  
• Wolfgang now takes a 25% sanity penalty from the dark and from shadow creatures, but if he is in range of other survivors that penalty falls back down to 10%
  
• Deals more damage when Mighty and less when Wimpy. Also takes extra damage in Wimpy form
  
• Wolfgang can build a Gym Station structure, which allows him to work out and increase his Mightiness
  
  • Players need to engage in a minigame at the gym and the amount of mightiness gained depends on how well they do at it
    
  • Players can load the gym with different heavy items to change its effectiveness
  
  
• Consumes hunger as Wolfgang works out
  
• Wolfgang can craft a consumable Dumbbell item to restore his Might on the go. It does not consume hunger and can be used as a weapon
  

Changes:

• Mod authors: version_compatible from modinfo.lua has been updated to bypass the server out of date message. The server will now only announce being out of date if the current version on the server is not current and if its less than version_compatible. Current mods will need to be reuploaded if version_compatible is in use for the Steam Workshop to reflect the changes needed.
  

• Fixed Boulders from going invisible when placed in the Pinchin' Winch.

• Fixed a crash when the Terrarium attempts to spawn the boss while there are no players in the forest world.
  
• Fixed a bug causing the Terrarium to be enabled during the day after loading or performing a rollback.
  
• Fixed a bug causing the Eye of Terror and Twins of Terror to be spawned and invincible during the day after loading or performing a rollback.
  
• Fixed a bug related to a living Eye of Terror or Twin of Terror being offscreen when day breaks.
  
• Suspicious Peepers now drop souls for Wortox, and the Twins of Terror no longer drop souls for Wortox.
  
• Fixed a bug preventing the Malbatross from using its swoop attack.
  
• Crash fix for missing pre-translated text.

They sure dont make planes of existence like they used to. One teensy little mishap has plunged the world of Terraria into rather... constant danger, and is terrarizing the Constant like nothing before! Survivors and Terrarians alike will have to keep a watchful eye out after all, who knows what might slip through the cracks when two worlds collide?

[h2]An Eye for An Eye[/h2]
A crossover collaboration with Re-Logic's Terraria.

A while back during a Reddit AMA to Celebrate Terraria's 10th Anniversary, Re-Logic was asked a simple question. If they could collaborate with any other game franchise, what game would it be? To our surprise and excitement, Don't Starve Together was mentioned in response.

A short while later we reached out to see if this was something they would be interested in, and off we went. Immediately - and I mean, immediately, both teams started spitting out ideas for what we could do and quickly figured out how to work around our planned schedules to make it happen.

For both teams, we saw this opportunity not just as a fun diversion between two studios but also something we thought our fans would really get a kick out of. It was also important that these experiences be additive to our respective games and authentic to each game's design goals.

For the DST Team, we absolutely knew that if we were going to do this crossover any justice we absolutely had to bring a boss (or two?) to the Constant. And, of course, we can't miss the opportunity to put our spin on a bunch of their coolest items.

Changes:

• Added the Terrarium, which can be found hidden somewhere in the world.
  
• Added the Eye of Terror, which can be defeated to obtain Milky Whites and the Eye Mask.
  
• Added the Twins of Terror, which can be defeated to obtain the Shield of Terror.
  
• Added new boss statues.
  
• Added the Suspicious Peeper and the Friendly Peeper.
  
• Added two new Crock Pot recipes, Frozen Banana Daiquiri and Bunny Stew.
  
• Added Terraria-themed World Settings and World Generation presets for the Forest and the Caves.
  
• Added Terraria-themed skins.

They sure dont make planes of existence like they used to. One teensy little mishap has plunged the world of Terraria into rather... constant danger, and is terrarizing the Constant like nothing before! Survivors and Terrarians alike will have to keep a watchful eye out after all, who knows what might slip through the cracks when two worlds collide?

[h3]The Eye for An Eye update launches November 18th. [/h3]

Hey Everybody,

Today we have a pretty great QOL update, Hallowed Nights returns, and some new spooooky skins.

As we've mentioned before, we had different plans for this month, but we needed to move things around a bit and so we rescheduled that for next month and added a bonus QOL update in its place!

[h2]Quality of Life Update![/h2]

The target's buffs and protective states, like a hiding Slurtle, will also affect her inspiration gain.

Left adrift at sea in the sweltering heat, our Survivors thought they were surely done for. And perhaps they would have been if luck hadnt landed them beneath the protective boughs of an enormous tree. A tree that, remarkably, seemed to spring from the ocean itself. Believing themselves to be saved, the Survivors began collecting the bounty of fruit and materials the great tree had to offer, not realizing that they were not the only ones to have found safe harbor beneath the canopy...
