Klei has released the Don’t Starve Together update 2.21 August 12 patch, and this is for the “Waterlogged Update” that includes new features, gameplay changes, new Twitch drops and more.

Don’t Starve Together Update 2.21 Patch Notes:

Left adrift at sea in the sweltering heat, our Survivors thought they were surely done for. And perhaps they would have been if luck hadn’t 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…

• Added the waterlogged ocean biome. Key features:
  • Great tree trunk
  • Knobbly trees
  • Fig, with new recipes
  • Grass Gator
  • Sea Strider
  • A leafy canopy that provides protection from overheating due to the world temperature.
• Boats have been changed:
  • All boats will now eventually come to a stop, regardless of whether it has an anchor or not.
  • Doubled the top speed of boats.
  • Greatly improved the performance on worlds with lots of boats.
  • Boats will now properly collide with all objects while offscreen.
  • When logging back in, players will now respawn on the boat they logged off on, regardless of whether it has moved since they logged off.

New Skins!

We also have two new sets of skins for you in this update.

Seaside Chest, contains the following belongings skin items: Shellacked Tackle Box, Shellacked Spectackler Box, Lighthouse Think Tank, Beach Tent, Peliclet, Pufflet, and Narwalrus Chester.

Fresh Verdant Chest, contains the second addition to the Verdant skin series. Contains skins for: Walter, Warly, Webber, Wendy, Wortox, Wilson, and Wolfgang.

I don’t know about you, but I think these swell skins are going to make some waves. Why not net one today and seafare yourself?

New Twitch Drops

The Fishy Bat Ham Bat skin has been added to the Nautical Collection. For a list of participating streamers, please see the spoiler below.

What’s Next?

Good question. The Team has been hard at work on the next few updates. It’s almost time to introduce you to Wanda, the new character DLC that will come to the game in the first half of September. We also have a new special thing we have never done before that we’re pretty excited about for October that is super secret. Ok, so I just realized I can’t really talk about anything we have coming up next, but things are about to get interesting.

We also have some exciting new stuff planned for Klei Rewards, so save up those points!
