Don’t Starve Update 29.01.2013

Baby Beefalo Sightings.
Greetings fellow champions of science! Above we have a special digital work space decoration featuring the illusive infant beefalo! Behold his myriad of adolescent facial expressions.

New Update: Progress!

That’s right, the latest enhancements to the Don’t Starve experience are aptly named “Progress!”. As of today you will be able to take advantage of a bevy of new features. Here’s a small sample. For the full list, head over to our forums to discuss.

Escaping:

You can escape the world by finding… things… and doing… stuff with them.

New Research Method:

Under the new research method, you unlock access to tiers of recipes by building research machines. This is a big change, so we’ve made it optional when you start a new world.

New Character:

Wickerbottom the librarian can be unlocked with XP. She gets a bonus research tier, because she is so smart.

New Creatures:

There are baby beefalo. You can eat them, if you are a terrible person.

Disgusting worm mouths are sprinkled throughout new worlds. I dare you to click on one!

There is a new, elusive herbivore that you can hunt. He is hard to find, and harder to catch. He drops some unique loot and lots of meat.

New Craftables:

• You can build three types of defensive walls (straw, wood, and stone).
• You can make wooden floor tiles and place them like turf.
• You can make a boomerang and throw it at other creatures.
• You can build a pitchfork, which takes over turfing duties from the shovel.
• You can craft a nice, comfy summer vest. How dashing!

AND MORE!
There are a ton of other fixes, tweaks and enhancements. For the full break down, check out this most informative forum post.
