Latest patch here with an invitation to beta test some new features.
We’ve been working on improving performance and have a few changes that should make things better. This should particularly help with severe lag in interiors. But some of the backend changes are larger than we are comfortable to just deploy. We have set up a beta branch that people can go to and help us test out the changes.
An added benefit of some of the changes, is that the interior system has opened up to the other worlds, not just Hamlet worlds. So if you bring the Key to the City, you can build a pig city in the forest or even on a tropical island. I’m sure there’s some interactions with all this stuff we haven’t predicted yet, so having some more people playing with it will be helpful.
We’ve also put player craftable doors in the home decor tab. Once you’ve build a door in your house, you can use a Construction Permit on it to create an attached room.
To access the beta branch:
- Go to the BETAS tab in the Don’t Starve Properties dialogue.
- Enter the code: dsinteriorbeta and press the CHECK CODE button.
- Select hamet_interors - Hamlet Interior upgrade beta from the drop down.
- Your game will then update to the new beta branch.
This branch uses separate save files from your regular base game. You can make a copy of your base game save files in the beta branch by using the console command: TheSim:ImportSave()
Your save files will remain unchanged in your regular branch.
You can return to the regular branch by going to the same BETAS tab and selecting the drop down: NONE - Opt out of all beta programs.
Thank you in advance for everyone who heads in there to play. We plan to run the beta for 2 weeks if everything runs as planned.
